New Phobia mode model options

[Gawain 622]

Is There a chance we could look into making the phobia mode models something less terrifying? Like ferrets for example? Or some sort of animal not found in the game yet?

Good suggestion for the swap, I'm not against having ferrets either. I'm not one to use the phobia mode but I feel it should include the anaconda as well. In fact even that doesn't fix the most hideous and unsettling model in the game.

I am not sure including more animals in phobia mode is necessarily a good idea, unless it comes with options for which animal to include. I don't really like snakes, I hate scorpions and tiny beetles make me scream in real life, yet the anaconda, scorpion or cave bug doesn't bother me at all. The spider models we had before these didn't bother me too much either, in fact I don't think anyone ever complained before the current "realistic" spider models were introduced. I can't watch any of Retro's streams or any other stream for that matter, because I am afraid the streamer will run into a spider-infested forest.

 

+1 to a new model though, blobs are really boring, and I do know that the texture bother quite a few people.

Even other nazi zombies do.

or simply shrink the spiders to the size of a fog spider?

Phobia mode is in to avoid arachnophobia, not to avoid anything looking scary.

I have never used the mode (I don't have any phobias - sharks don't count because there is nothing irrational or unreasonable about not sharing a space with them) but I do wonder does it include models for the anacondas?  Ophidiophobia is very common (although I don't know if it is more or less common than arachnophobia). 

 

Would the giant scorpions trigger arachnophobia, or are they sufficiently "not-spider"?

 

It would be good if the phobia models were of some other animal that can be scary (please not kittens or ferrets).  Maybe make them koalas and wombats, most people think those cute and cuddly (i.e. most people are half-right) - or maybe a diprotodon to eliminate "cute" as well.  We could have Tassie devils, or thylacines or even thylacoleos!  If we had stuff like that I would turn on phobia mode just to see them.
