I was watching this interview, and apparently Giants live in camps.

It got me thinking.. Exactly how should Giants be in the game? Should they be stupid animals, or very big, obtuse people?
Should they actually speak Giant..ish with eachother, or just grunt and roar?

I think it would be neat if there were big Giant tribe fights.

From what I read ti seems they are big softys but if you tick them off they will kill you


I like that so no i wont atack them

I don't think I'd be able to bring myself to attack a Giant. The one in the trailer looks like a peaceful, wise old mountain man taking his daily walk.

I'd like them to be all diffrent, Some angry and violent others calm etc.

With bones for a belt...

I hope we have some non-combat interactions with them, like doing quests for them or fighting along side them (Maybe a part of the main quest is to get them to join you in attacking the Dragons)

Troll bones. I bet the troll attacked first.

I would love that!
Giant tribeleader: "Wife's birthday coming up. You get sparkly stone for wife?"
*You should find a gem for the tribeleader's wife. Rumors say there's plenty of precious stones in Caerbannog Cave.*

That was a good video! The guy is certainly making all the right noises, I must say I only got a glimpse of the Giant though.

In that video the dude did say that since Skyrim is man country there is undercurrent racism toward the Mer races, so if that is the case I'm sure giants would be on the hit list as well - I dunno, giants may react different to you if you were an Orc or fellow alienated race? More likely they'll try to smash your head in.

Giants aren't Mer O.o If anything I think Giants would be the least violent towards Nords, they could be a splinter race or something similar.

That being said, I'm going to hunt them all down, kill them, and eat their corpses... Cause that's how I roll.

i guess i will leave them and their mammoths (!) alone.

I kinda what to give one a hug....
I have a policy on games. If it attacks me, I attack back. Unless it's a rat or slaughterfish or mudcrab. Ew. I don't think the giants will attack unless I majorly [&@%!] it off.

Guys they're pixels, and sides I gurantee you they'll get annoying, who does he think he is not attacking me and running of with my well deserved loot.

Well Da_Boss, why do you want to loot them? After all, the loot you would come across is just pixels.

Well, I suppose it does. In your opinion.

Pixel loot has more value than pixel murder has moral implications.

Very well-said (although said value is in pixels too)

Anyway I think I'll be inclined at some point to try to wipe out a group of giants, in the same way I picked huge fights with guards and disagreeable townsfolk.

They said some are agressive and some aren't. Nevertheless I will kill them all for loot and experience.

EDIT: Actually thinking about it... I guess I will mostly only kill the aggresive ones.

The E3 demo-thingy shows that you can talk to Giants. I'm wondering what they have to say.

ME TOO!!!!
I wonder if you can be friends with them and do them favors, like milk their mammoth, protect their camps or go hunting with them??

I also wonder if there r female giants.. xD Same height as the males are, but with softer skin?? lol



Any idea when will the 30 mins demo be shown???

I CANNOT WAIT!! I WANT MORE MORE MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOARRRRRR!!!! lol... ok ok i will cut down the use of skooma..

If they make a giant say "Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum" as an easter egg, I will be happy in life.

I dunno. I usually only refrain from killing named NPCs in Oblivion, and non-hostile NPCs in Morrowind. But do giants count as NPCs? Never before have creatures behaved which such detailed AI. I guess I'll storm a giant camp at level 1, get pwnt, and spend the rest of the game ignoring the Thu'um and instead heading over to the Iliac Bay to learn some good old Giantish.

Oh! A giant camp player home DLC! Amirite? Maybe some lovely giant armour so I can mutilate them in style.

That wasn't an E3 demo We still get all the normal E3 video, plus that. That was only a sneak-preview.

"You seen baby mammoth? Baby mammoth ran away from mummy. You bring baby mammoth back and I give you pretty stone."

I think I would want to befriend one, so that I can use them or their mammoths as a mount (I'm too lazy to walk)
