I honestly don't like spiders... I mean, I like snakes and some other creepy crawlies (like centipedes) but when I found this out, I was disgusted...
So I'm walking down the road east of Whiterun toward the Ritual Stone right? So this bandit pops out of nowhere, I hack and slash, he screams and dies, the usual. After I pick up Armen's sword from that bandit camp with the two towers I walk to the same spot where the bandit died. Only... He's not there.
I pan my screen around with my joystick and behold my surprise when I almost drop my controller at seeing a wrapped up disgusting black corpse with a giant spider next to it. Staring at me. Taunting me.
I took care of the vile creature but I looked mournfully down at that poor bandit, glad that I got to him first before the spider did, for his sake. I shudder to think what it would be like to be feasted on like those poor flies caught in small little webs.
Needless to say my respect for frostbite spiders went up dramatically and I always kill them with extreme hatred... Even in real life. For people on here who are afraid of spiders, I definitely understand your problem... The damn thing scared the heck out of me.
As for the Dark brotherhood, I try not to think about it and just roleplay my character. I did feel really bad killing that poor woman at her own wedding. I mean, what did she do? What relation does she have to her cousin, the Emperor no less, who doesn't even bother to show up at her own wonderful wedding? What a cheap Emperor.
