Avowed follows the classic RPG rubric for enemy types and is therefore full of spiders. It's also full of bears for some reason, but, trust me, there are lots of spiders. That means anyone who can't stand spiders couldn't play what is a pretty killer RPG.
Thankfully it's becoming more and more common for games to add arachnophobia modes as part of their post-launch support, and Avowed will be no different. With a new patch today, those spiders can be turned into far less hideous floating orbs.
