It wasn’t long before I encountered a spider inObsidian Entertainment’s sleek new action RPG,Avowed.
“Let us hurry.
There is nothing to fear here,” I thought to myself.
That’s what scares me.
Spider webs adorn the walls.
There are suspiciously crimson stains around the chest.
Bodies strung up in webs.
Watch out, though: here come Mom and Dad.
Today, CRPGs have continued to tap into our fear of spiders.
It’s enough to send your arachnophobia into overdrive.
However, there’s no eight-legged monstrosity quite like those in the Living Lands.
Like most of the game, Avowed’s spiders sport diverse colors.
Nacib is one of the biggest and meanest spiders in Avowed.
Despite her size, she’s also the most agile.
The likely first time you’ll meet them is in the sulfur mines of Shatterscarp.
But why is it always spiders?
