From one of the older elder scroll games dagger you could learn various languages that would allow you to talk to creatures to avoid having to have a needless fight. Would you like to see a return of this feature?

It would be cool to learn languages like you learn spells.

Talking to giants would be kind of cool.

I think you can speak to them, but most only make grunting noises when you talk to them.

Did anyone in a hands-on help the giant against the shield brothers, then try to talk to the giants?

If you look through the list on that link I provided you will see a whole bunch of different dialects you could learn in daggerfall to avoid fights. I was hoping something like that would be making a return in skyrim except maybe expanding upon the idea. Like letting you befriend the creature, and fight with them, or maybe a quest line. With speaking the dragon language still being at the forefront of course.

Um.. talking to creatures would svck. You can already talk to the giants though? :rolleyes:

I WANT TO SLAUGHTER THEM!

Rolling around in giant blood, bathing in it! while eating their raw guts and skinning them and using their skin as coats boots and tents! making their bones into blunt objects to slaughter more and more and more! I'll pile all their juicy, dripping muscle into a wagon and take it to the nearest town and making a fortune selling giant steaks, sausage, bacon and jerky! :chaos:

I was really curious to that, in regards to the hands-on thing. I mean New Vegas was all about choices, perhaps Skyrim is the same? (Yes, I know different developers...)

Also there's supposedly a quest where you help a giant find his lost mammoth. So at least some will be capable of interaction, it's just gauging which ones are which that I'm finding interesting.

Not if it was about 20 levels above you, and your quick tongue saves your cherry ass.

Well, IMO, it would still svck. "Hello there giant crab. Please don't kill me" :wacko:

Isn't it confirmed that they can talk?
I've read it somewhere.

I'm 100% that they are not aggressive towards you. (they don't attack till you attack them )

They have a 'talk' icon, but it seems, unfortunately, to be case of [Me have no greeting].

You fool all you would have to do is flip it over for massive damage.

*looks up to giant's head*

"how's the weather up there?"

Can't we? The giants in the e3 demo where friendly until todd attacked them and just as he passed them his cursor said "Talk" when he was aiming at them.

Yeah I thought I saw that too.

It doesn't matter if I want it or not. It's in... Riiiiiiiiiiiiight?

I mean, you can "talk" to thing just to get their scripted reaction also, so who knows.

I personally think that they will/can speak back to you.

I dont remember what hands-on it was, but it was a while ago..

A reporter attempted to "Talk" to a giant.

When he triggered the action the giant went hostile and killed said reporter. D:

OT- Yeah, I think talking to them COULD prove useful if implemented correctly x:

» Thu Oct 20, 2011 1:59 am

I thought there had been talk of a specific group of giants you can do quests for?

» Thu Oct 20, 2011 12:43 am

:wink_smile: i never knew you could talk with animals in Daggerfall. i only started with Oblivion.
it would be nice alright :wink_smile:

Again, just after he helped the shield brothers kill one. Guards sorted, psychic giants now?

I have heard of no such thing D: where did you hear this?! x:

At the point which you find them fighting the giant, I'm pretty sure theres NO way to kill one of the shield brothers...one of the more recent hands-on reporters tried it. x:

pretty sure they killed the giant, then the reporter.
