![]() ![]() People who had a fear of spiders saw a need that couldn't be filled through regular play, and it became a road block to anybody with that issue that wanted to keep playing. One of the earliest Skyrim mods was one to replace every single giant spider in the game with other enemies, for instance. Then, there are accessibility and comfort mods, things that the average person might never think about. Some are whacky, like the Macho Man mod for Skyrim's dragons, while others are major expansions to an existing game, or total conversions of an engine that has long since been abandoned. ![]() I'll be the first to admit that I have laughed at arachnophobic YouTubers screaming in terror at a tiny spider in a videogame, but now, I understand why they were scremaing. I can't " just get over it", because hearing that distinctive sound cripples my ability to do anything but stress and try to run from it.Īs bad as it is, though, it's given me a lot of insight into how much phobias can stop one from enjoying a game, because I'm experiencing it first-hand. It's caused panic attacks, it made me run away from school once, and it's caused multiple friends to have to censor heart-related information in Discord chats. I can't hear them, I can't see them, I especially can't witness them being damaged or 'forcibly removed from a body', and there are times where experiencing any of these things can completely destroy my ability to feel comfortable and think clearly. You're meant to want the sound back for your own safety, using it like a proximity alert that tells you when and where you're in danger. Some of them lack the sound entirely, but that's part of their gimmick. It's part of the game, a mechanic that warns you of a killer stalking nearby. It seems strange to complain about, but in a game that's entirely about raw killer/victim dynamics that you would see in a lot of horror media (to the point that it contains some famous killers you'd see on the big screen), the one thing that stops me from picking it up is the heartbeat sound. ![]()
