edit: i'm not a jeet. i'm a half-jeet. big difference. i'm blessed with European blood.

TL;DR - got anything other than ad hominem? we all get it, haha look jeet hue hue hue.

burburbur hurs urr jurt su hur turdurd burrrr. right. oh no how dare i post some simple musings about a recurring theme in fantasy fiction to a subcommunity full of fellow Noticers instead of posting to Gaming where this would be shot down for not being Gaming related, or the dead Writing, Fiction or Fantasy boards.

asking questions and sharing musings about positive things rather than circle jerking about the evils of jews and Satanists. so retarded!

that makes two of us.

what i meant to ask is - is there any basis for spiders living in cold or arctic climes. because i don't relate spiders to the cold, hence why "frost spiders" which, in game terms, deal "frost damage", don't make any sense to me. because in temperate climes, spiders tend to hibernate or seek shelter during cold season.

Like every other fantasy trope, blame the lord of the rings. Specifically shelob, the giant spider that lives in a cold dungeon and eats people

Not necessarily. I like lord of the rings tropes. If they have enough original shit (the elder scrolls definitely DOES) then I'd 100% forgive the writers throwing in some homages to the granddaddy of all high fantasy.

i don't dislike Tolkien's work, i just wish folks would come up with their own completely unique works more often. then again it's hard to create a completely unique fictional setting without any outside inspiration or influence (not even TES does this).

oh well, frosty spooders it is.

it's just magic, they can make any of this shit up because it's a fantasy world it dosen't have to make sense like gravity in minecraft. without it something like Hobbit or Bible would be much more boring

Go into a cold dark basement built of stone & dirt, you will find many spiders.

a basement in a temperate climate zone, no matter how dark *or how deep-set, is not reaching the low temperatures of sub-arctic (Scandinavia-Northern Russia-Siberia) or arctic regions. there's cold and then there's COLD.

Well you see, in fantasy writing, what some are going to do is take something normal like "spiders in a cold basement" then make it exaggerated "giant spider in a frozen landscape."

fair enough. i guess i tried to apply too much "real world logic". needs more suspension of disbelief :^)
