I am kind of curious on how you would fight a giant, in oblivion you would probably spam his ankles with slashing and spells but with how the combat system is now, I think that it would kind of stupid to try to brainlessly attack it.

How would you go about killing a giant? Also how bout a dragon? i would guess you would go for the eyes and hands? Please leave a comment on how you think or how you would kill a dragon

I would probably spam his ankles with slashing and spells.

What else am I supposed to do? We don't have an Acrobatics skills anymore :ninja:

Very carefully?

I expect to do a lot of dodging, blocking, striking and moving. Combat against these things will be pretty tactical I'd think, a test of mind as well as body.

just because it isnt tagged under a skill doesnt mean we cannot jump :facepalm:

Chances are the hit detection will be pretty lame as in most games with big enemies, for some stupid reason. I've always felt that on such big creatures there needed to be different attack and impact animations to a certain extent, but whatever. :sadvaultboy:

I hope so, and Todd seems to think so. But he might just really svck at this game.

equip the "gun" spell or use the atomic bomb dragon shout. both of which are confirmed btw

Just give it the Aperture Science Weighted Companion Cube.

I would try to make a giant fall off a cliff or down a steep slope if I had to fight one.

Weapons, magic, and dragon shouts.

paralyze poison on one sword, kill giant poison on the other... ez money

You kill it with lazers!!!!

Same way Legolas takes down a cave troll. With an arrow to the throat.

ohhhh yes my man.

Hopefully there will be area specific damage and we'll be able to hamstring a giant/mammoth and then dive in for a killing blow to the neck.

you yell at them

Use your Dragon debating abilities

How do snakes kill humans?

if combat and difficulty are similar to OB: with far less effort than it should take

I assume it will be something along the lines of Dark Messiah, as they seem to get inspired a lot from it!

Bring the thing to his knees attacking vital parts, and there goes the execution move!

I'll try and wrap myself around a dragon's face but I don't think it will work.

I will say a quick prayer and then run at them sword drawn, ready to kill or be killed. Yeah, I'll be loading a lot of saves.... :flamed:

Well, since I don't have intelligence anymore, how else would I do it?


Giant: Jump from above onto its head. crawl into its ear and into its head. there, I'll be sure to look through both of its eyes like windows, then I'll sing a lullaby until it falls over. I'll climb out its nostril then doa silent backstab for more damage!

Kick it in the shins and run like hell (that's what my dad taught me, word for word) Then lure it to a field of my choice

Dragon: Well, aparently I have to use my shout to be on par with it :shrug: I'd really rather use time stop to set a bunch of traps just outside of encounter reange, then go nanny nanny boo bo to lure it into the mechanical ambush! Hey, it worked in BG II

Or there's this:
Spike: And in terms of a plan?

Angel: We fight.

Spike: Bit more specific?

Angel: Well personally, I kinda wanna slay the dragon. Let's go to work!

:rofl: I found this so funny that I had a hard time not laughing aloud and waking my baby up!

Didn't bethesda buy the company that created dark messiah? That would explain it.

I would kill them with lots and lots or arrows or spells. I try to stay away from things that can bite/tear me in half
