Hi, I second this request wholeheartedly.
Unfortunately, I am suffering from a severe case or arachnophobia and as it stands, I really can't proceed any further on the last two remaining planets as both of them are infested with spiders If it was just a few on one level or a boss, maybe I could ask a friend to do it for me, but now I'd basically have to ask them to finish these two planets for me, which kind of beats the point
I don't know what the developers were thinking, how having giant spiders jumping at you would in any way be considered fun. I'm scared to death, they are so terrifying. This isn't even some random and rare affliction, a significant number of people I know are afraid of spiders and most of my friends feel at least uncomfortable. A friend of mine who killed the albino spider boss, although he isn't nearly as afraid as me, told me he was thoroughly creeped out and revulsed by the whole sequence.
So, as it stands, I'm pretty much stuck, because I'm too afraid to go on. I read some guides on how to avoid them and finished the first part of Kashyyyk, but now I'm back and I was told that the Shadowlands is full of jump-scare spiders. I can't go through that again please, when it happened to me with albino spider, I screamed so hard that I dropped my keyboard. My boyfriend had to hug me while I was crying on his shoulder, so yeah, I'm afraid to put it mildly.
It is truly a shame because I've been loving this game so far with the exploration and thoughtful combat aspect. Hands down the best Star Wars game I've ever played. I'd be forever grateful for any help in this regard. Just have an option please to replace them by a random collection of pixels or whatever or even a big floating red sign saying "wyyschokk here".
Anything, but not spiders please. They are completely ruining this fantastic Star Wars game for me :-(
Sincerely,
A severely arachnophobic Star Wars enthusiast
- 6 years ago@CommanderKeeva Or just a plain white cube about the size of the spider, so that we know the approximate size. You can keep the webbing animation and it can turn red, when it charges, just replace the actual spider with some texture, please. Just a suggestion, but I hope you'll consider it.

what we need really is an arachnophobe mode in settings. yes its a minor spoiler, but so many have the phobia its not a rare thing and there are almost certainly creatures the developers didnt add to the worlds either because of time constraints or planned dlc or whatever. im sure there will be some cool creature they have on hold or no longer planned to be used at all, that they could simply add in a patch with that setting and would swap out to some kind of 'big cat type' predator or maybe a giant evil ewok, or something else, than a creepy crawlie. and it wont affect people without a problem, who probably wouldnt even notice the setting, or if the do, might think it adds replay value.

Certainly a great idea!
I wouldn't even mind if the model lacked animations or anything, really - I just want to be able to play the game without feeling paranoid and deprived of fun :/
