Most traps in skyrim yes. But I have failed to notice the trigger point a few times during an initial playthrough. Generally every trap after the first is easier to spot.

That looks like the trap is meant to hit anyone but the one on the pressure plate.

-flame oil trap easy
-tripwire trap easy
-pit of spike trap medium
-dwarven automatic trap hard
-trapped in the room with unkillable nazeem famous line death sentence

It’s because it’s aimed for where they predict the player is gonna be by the time the trap is activated if they were to go through the dungeon normally and not notice the pressure plate

Never leave Helgen without 100 in Sneak 50 in One Handed and 50 in Destruction. I forget traps are even a thing untill my extra stora- I mean my follower is limping against a wall

Thats a lot of strawberry jam, also I’m god.

I just did this dungeon last night! I think this particular dart trap would have been meant to protect the person sitting on the throne from would-be attackers. There’s a couple other dungeons with traps in front of thrones like this but I can’t think of them off the top of my head.

I hope one day you’ll do mod reviews for Skyrim. But specifically just better traps and ways to kill Sven

you’re talking exactly like me 😅🔥

“Miss miss miss miss” well on to the treasure

the ones by the chests are awful aswell

The damage from traps is extremely disappointing. I dont even bother dodging them cause its so insignificant, the only trap to ever ONE SHOT me was the falmer claw trap. Wish poisons, diseases and what not were actually a challenge rather than a slight inconvenience

It really was the worst

The only effective trap at killing the player is the dwarven spinning traps.

there’s something cartoonishly hilarious about that XD

Turned into the dad from Fairly Odd parents near the end there.

Even if it hits, it does next to nothing in damage. The only time a trap ever killed me was one of those spinning blade traps in a Dwemer ruin.

Don’t forget to adjust the font size so we can read the dialogue 💜

It’s meant to hit you as you either pass over or retreat upon realizing you stepped on a trap.

traps are so funny to me bc i’ll walk directly into them, take a solid 1 damage, and go “huh????”

Even when poison darts hit and you have no poison resistance they still feel like they do nothing. I wonder if they were originally extremely dangerous but the devs took them out

Yeah well you’re not supposed to stabd still. The idea is you hear the click and either move forward or backward which gets you turned into a pin cushion

I like using sneak a lot. So I usually have the light feet perk. It is hilarious to drag a non-sneaking followers along, and walk them through the traps just to hear them yelp out when they get smacked with a spiked door, or poison darts. Then I look back, and see em crawling on the floor, and I am like, “What the hell you doing? Get up…”.

They’re all so fucking terrible too like the poison does four damage

Traps in any Bethesda game: 🎂

I remember always being able to do the bleak falls barrow door perfectly but for some reason I always do the gate with the stones backwards so, I’m always getting shot with poison i’ve developed ability to dodge all the bolts

Ngl as a vampire throughout the game I would just walk through these traps and cackle

lmao when the trap aint that life

Actually, I think the trap is meant not to pelt the person stepping on it but pelt the person after they walked forward like a dunce.
A lot of traps in the games were made for you to walk into them but if you see a pressure plate, it defeats the point of the trap.

How bad should this trap be

YES

Oh, this is how the falmer learned to set traps.

I remember coming across this trap and thinking the same exact thing😂
