Elder Scrolls, Cut It Out With The Silt Striders

I don’t like bugs. Never have. Flies, bees, wasps, crickets, I hate ‘em all. The bigger they are the more I can’t stand them. So the giant insect-like Silt Striders, first seen in
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, are my worst nightmare and I want them all to die. I mean, if no one minds.

. Younger Zack wasn’t a fan of them. But the simpler visuals of
Morrowind mostly made it easy to think of them as big weird alien things and not creepy, nasty bugs. Unless I got too close and noticed their long, thin legs and mandibles. I made it a point to avoid them unless I really needed to fast travel.
