LE Spiders act more spider-like

[drewmeister11]

I'd like to see a mod that makes spiders act more like spiders, such as waiting on ceilings or popping out of holes in the wall. Spiders should be more like patient hunters, waiting for you to get close without seeing them, then striking fast. As they stand now, with the exception of the giant 'boss' spiders who drop out of pre-determined holes in the ceilings, they pretty much just rush you the second they notice you exist. If nothing else, a variety of spider that stays invisible until it gets off an attack would be nice.

 

I should probably point out that I'm arachnaphobic, so when I see spiders I feel I should actually be frightened of them, but as they stand now I find them mildly amusing because of how non-threatening they are.

Mm..

 

Requiem did something fun with spiders.

 

It adds random lowby spider spawns.

Aka. 5-7 small (smaller than smallest spiders by default), that are sort-of fast, and will try to overrun you.

Really scary, I loved those myself.

 

Anyhow, just maybe, MAYBE, giving spider a proper "aggro" range, more of those ceiling spawns and such.

for example:

 

> ceiling spawn into dungeon.

> Aggro range is just so that when npc walks below, it starts to atttack.

 

Thus it should be possible to make the spider act like it'd properly lurk around, waiting for you.

I'd set the trigger up behind the drop point, so it attacks from behind.
