how do you exactly fight a giant?

Cut its throat open in any way possible and watch the [censored] bleed.

IF IT BLEEDS WE CAN KILL IT!!!!

With might and great spirit!

For a somewhat more serious example, I'd expect something like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBTPjhImt2A.


you look at the giant and yell, "THIS....IS......SKYRRRRRRRIM!"

Mmmmm..? Why are giants always slow or dumb? :confused:



Because people want to give them a flaw to counter their size

Or because I use the dragon shout that makes me teleport behind him as he attacks me, then with my superhuman 100 speed and athletics I climb the pile of rocks and... lets just say you know the remaining story...

this is my dream solution
  • cast frenzy on the big softie
  • cast water walking on self
  • run across lake surface
  • wait until grumpy is neck high in water
  • use awesome new frost spell to freeze water
  • cast bound boots on self
  • cast demoralize (well, we won't be needing the magicka...)
  • enjoy your workout!

To kill a giant, just circle around shooting it or stabbing if your a melee character. Or get Kratos.

Like a T-rex..."Don't move and he wont see you"...then after that, you shock his balls, or cut his jugular vein...

Easy,

Throw my giant miniature space hamster at its eyes!

or

Groin shots, since that'd be about how high I could reach anyway

or

Tiltowat: it worked in Wizardry :nod:

or

Summon about 100 scamps, give them some ropes, and mark/recall to Liliput

Repeatedly summon daedra to do your dirty work for you. Unless you're out of Magicka and the Giant is still coming after you...

...then you're dead. :sadvaultboy:

You ride into battle on a mammoth and jump onto his/her back and behead it. ;)

I imagine they'll be tough but not that tough.

I believe I read somewhere that they will not automatically attack you so hopefully they are similar to NPC's. I hope that there are both male and female versions and that there are different types or clans of them. It would svck if they are all alike.

You kill a giant from within its body. You gain access through a wide selection of openings and your in business. The big guy wont even know what hit him. Use you imagination on any number of critical attacks you could use to ends its life from within its giant body.

Don't know, but it's gotta be easier than fighting a dragon. Especially just after he engulfs you with his firey breath, grabs you in his talons, flys thousands of feet/meters in the air ..... and lets go. (and there is no levitation in Skyrim)

If you annoy it, it'll be an enemy.

I think the giants will be quite big. I don't know if any of you noticed, but that looks like a troll skull on his belt.

With a big sword of course, you don't expect to kill him with a knife, well actually with that 10x stealth maybe a knife lol

Frstly, I'm assuming that by giant, you mean 50-60 feet tall, if you're talking about a guy 9 feet tall, just kick him in the nuts and sheathe your sword into his spine.
I'd need a harpoon and a longblade, if explosives are in Skyrim (astronomically unlikely), them too.

First, I'd throw the harpoon and hit the bastard square in the chest and climb up like hell. I'd have to avoid em trying to swat me or swipe me off of him. If he pulls the harpoon out of his chest, I'm gonna jump up and land my sword square over his heart, and use my weight to tear his flesh open so I can see his exposed heart, and I'd dive in and start doing everything I can with my blade and bare hands to butcher and mulch his heart. When he topples over, I'm hoping he lands on his back, because I'm going to have to cut my way out of his back.

BTW, if you DO wind up killing giants like this, I'm voting for showers to be in Skyrim.

yep

Don't know exactly how big they are, I think that in showing a giant in the picture they were trying to be careful to not show you big they were

here is a link for those that haven't seen the pic yet: http://media.pcgamer.com/files/2011/02/The-Elder-Scrolls-V-Skyrim-Giant.jpg



I'm not sure why the link says Giant because that's a goblin! Giants won't attack you unless provoked..
