They are passive, meaning they will not purposely go out of their way to attack you. You either have to attack them first or go a little bit too close for their liking for them to become aggressive.

Well, they only attack when you get close so I guess they're sort of neutral.

They are friendly until you get close to them... then we have a different story... what always ends with me flying.

Seen two giants one left me alone, the other attacked me maybe it was because I was in his camp. (Not sure why this is)

Well thanks, i kinda had noticed that they get mad if you get too close, but i would have like to observe them from close and maybe even try a conversation :) They're interesting!

They're friendly but they're very solitary and like their space. Get too near and they'll slaughter ya! On that note one saved me from two Frost Trolls giving his life when i thought it was i who would die.

Has anyone actually spoken to a giant yet? I've heard TONS about them smashing people's skulls in, and some about giants being neutral, but nothing about conversing with them. I've been spending all of my time playing through the Thieves Guild questline, but I am impatient and wanna knoooooooow. :ahhh:

Nope, they don't speak, they just smash your skull in :)

I'm SO baffled! The official E3 demo showed an option to speak with them! Todd himself was playing! I was looking forward to talking with them so much :sadvaultboy:

I have meet a total or 3 friendly giants, they don't do anything, just walk around while I am next to them, they did notice me since they would sometimes look down to me. Their breathing is sort of creepy :P.
I also did run back to one of them when a saber tooth attacked, BAM giant one shot that saber tooth :D

One giant walking along a road. I was able to walk right up/in to it and it stayed neutral. There wasn't an option to talk to it though. Must have been a bug.

At least they are intelligent enough to discern between humans appropriately... I walked around a hill in front of a pair of giants herding some mammoths. Within seconds a trio of human bandits charged over the same hill and attacked the giants and mammoths... I just stood there watching, expecting the giants to lump me in with the other humans who had just attacked them, but once the giants were through smashing the bandits they left me alone. Maybe it was because I didn't jump into combat, but if I had been in their shoes it sure would have looked like I was part of the bandit party.
