Bleak Falls Barrow was one of the scariest quests I have ever experienced. From dark caves and creepy creatures to giant spiders and gross webs, I had to take many breaks to regain myself while achieving this checkpoint. There were not many clues involved throughout this part of the game but I did notice a change in the music when something scary was about to happen which made everything even more scary than it already was. The music was a huge audio clue throughout this level. Visual clues included the spider webs to inform you that there is a huge freaking spider ahead of you so prepare yourself. The only textual clue I could think of was the dialogue before entering the barrow.
The puzzles that you had to beat in order to get to the next checkpoint were extremely hard. I had my entire sorority trying different strategies and tactics to figure out these puzzles. It was so intimidating that if you got an answer wrong, you were killed in all sorts of ways. Not to mention the combat included on the way. This quest was fun but boy was I not ready for it. I don't know if you can tell already but I have a huge fear of spiders. The minute I saw that giant thing, I gave the computer to my friend and said, "HELP". After a few hours of regaining myself from that frightening sight, I was able to move on through the quest. The puzzles were actually the most interesting event that happened so far in my opinion. It seems like the game is only going to get more tough and intense from here. Good luck everybody.
