Would me going 'oh, no, you're right, (we shouldn't do anything for arachnophobes, they should have to suck it up, because) people who fear dogs or snakes didn't get any changes and it's not fair', be a positive outcome here for you in terms of 'discussion'?

I wonder where we draw the line, because people feel DISCONFORT around spiders, there's barely no one who have actual phobia. People are simply confortable in lying about needing special needs because they feel cool, special, different and they enjoy the attention and care comming from others 3-6% of the population feel disconfort round certain animals and people, other people feel around cockroachers, other people with lizards, frogs, and even cats and birds, and many other things and creatures Where do we draw the line then?

Where it has the biggest impact. It's 15% that suffer from Arachnophobia and its mostly women. So could be as much as 25%+ women that suffer from this. For people who have phobias, Spiders hold one of the highest % of the population that would have an impact in a vidoe games. As things like fear of hights is not normally triggered on a screen. Frogs go mostly unnoticed Dogs get close with about 8% but spiders are still more then dubble. As far as Ashes go. Spiders seem to be in allot of videos. So again, where to help? Where is has the biggest impact.

The goal for me is to discuss the development process and how the resources of Intrepid are best allocated during it.

I find some here to like to provoke negitve comments over having a real discussion. I just ignore people like that. As a backer, my comments are more directed to the developers. They can do what they want with my feedback.

And yeah these ice-spiders in the last footage reveal where such things. Would appreciate it when I could turn them into "boring generic bears" or something else.
