Hi there,

My companion is Janessa, the Dark Elf located in Whiterun.

I usually give her one set of glass weapon and most of the time she would utilize them well imo.

The funny thing, is I have encounter twice that Janessa did changed her weapon to a GIANT CLUB in dungeon fighting which really surprised me !!! oo:

I am so eager to share this experience with you guys. From what I have seen, her damage level is higher when using the giant club than using the glass weapons I have given her.

Q.1 - she dont have the giant club, HOW CAN SHE USE IT ? (even she is killed, the weapon is not with her)
Q.2 - even the player can't use the club, why she can use it ? (you know, we cannot pick up the weapon from the giant)

Therefore I would like to know if you have seen this in your game : whether this is a glitch only ? Or, do you know the condition where she will draw the club out (if this is not a bug or something) ?

This is kinda funny though, I hope Beth will not fix this if this is a glitch.

i want videos

it's hard to believe, right ? (so do I)

I think I can see the third time in the coming dungeon fights. I have a DC, so let me upload a picture here if I do see it the third time. Meanwhile I guess I am not the only one seeing this, e.g. someone see this occur with another companion, etc.

video or didn't happen

No chance. The club is a part of the 'monster'. It isn't an item.

I heard one time that someone's Lydia picked up a club from a giant. It's obviously a glitch.

I think we can agree to disagree.



Lol, that's awesome. WHY CAN'T WE USE CLUBS!?

You can if you're on PC, there's a mod for that IIRC :foodndrink:

Zombie summons usually pick up the nearest weapon if they are unarmed, I've seen it all the time. I've also seen giant clubs left lying on the ground that the player can't pick up, but I bet npcs can. Now I gotta drag an unarmed corpse to a giant camp to see what happens

I picked up e companion Erik The Slayer ( formerly Eric the farmer lol) and got him decked out in forsworn gear and the giant club. He's my new favorite companion.

svcks that I can't use it. I was able to make him pick it up but can't even loot it from him if he dies. Isn't there a quest though where your company is removed from you and gear given back automatically? Got to be a way to glitch the club to me.

The Giant club isn't apart of the Giant its a weapon but flagged not equipable by the player, much in the way Some armors are.

Companions have a habit of picking up weapons off of corpses if they're better than what they're currently using. Giant clubs are treated similarly to follower weapons, in that they're invisible to the player. However followers aren't subject to the same looting rules as the player (this is how Dogmeat can loot items from locked containers) so occassionally yeah your follower can get their hands on a giant club.

Does it send enemies into orbit on power-attack?

No but it can 2 hit a high level enemy.

My guess is the game is filling in the wrong model.

EDIT:
I was wrong. You can actually order your companion to pick one up.

There's about 50 on YouTube.

If I have her carry a pickaxe she'll switch from bow to that occasionally just to mess with me, so I believe it.

Indeed, it does.


Well, that's all the time I have. Join me next time on 'The ThreadKiller'. G'night folks :wavey:

player.additem doesn't work with any of those refIDs from wiki...

"The second one (000461da) can be picked up and equipped by followers only and has a power that varies based on character level at the time of cell entry."

Boosh...

I used to fight with a GIANT CLUB -- then I took an arrow to the knee.
