Dragons and Giants, who is worse to fight?

Post » Tue May 15, 2012 8:02 pm

after killing your first dragon, you may feel like a bad - [censored]
after your second, you may feel like a god-king turned flesh
A word of advice? Do not F@#k with the giants! they dont give a crap about how many dragons you killed, leave their mammoths alone!

I watched a guy beat a dragon and then go get 1 shot by a giant.

Only problem with your logic is that dragons have been confirmed to pick up giants like small barbie dolls.

But they crush you in one shot! it may take 3 dragons to take you done simultaneously, but a giant just has to step on you and you fly 400 feet in the air!

Dragons have also been confirmed to be murdered by cliffracers.

sounds like a new version of paper-rock-scissors:

Dragonborn beats dragon
Dragon beats giant
Giant beats dragonborn

No idea what to make the hand gestures for each though... :)

It's simple, You scream "FUS RO DAH" for the Dragonborn. You pretend to fly as a Dragon for the Dragon and you hit your opponent with a cub for the Giant.
I Would always go with Giant. :wink_smile:

Cliffracers drove dragons to extinction in Morrowind so I'd rather face a dragon alone that a storm of angry cliffracers! :spotted owl:

I hope those annoying scaled rats with wings don't come back, but if they do I hope its a very small quantity.

Yeah... Giants put some massive force--in turn, massive ragdoll--behind each swing. I've seen a Giant ragdoll a mudcrab over a mountain.

Probably depends what difficulty your on. If your on low difficulty then dragons are meant to be [censored] easy.

Giants are bad ass on every difficulty when you are a low lever. Dragons however start scaled. So by the time you reach level 30 and can beat the [censored] out of a giant. The dragons will be kicking ur ass

Dragons are easier than Giants. But Dragons can pick up Giants and drop them to their doom. But Giants can one-hit you. But Khajiit look awesome now so.

The only reason why the giant seems harder than the dragons is because the dragon is scaled to the players level while the giant has a specific level range, I believe. So when you become maybe lvl 30 and above, dragons will put up more of a fight than the giants.

In Todd's demo. Never seen it happen yet in a bunch of dragon fights I've watched. Besides, the topic is who is worse to fight for the player, not who would win between a dragon and a giant, so dragons picking up giants is irrelevant.

No first you die. Then you ragdoll. From what I've seen anyway.

I hope so, seeing giants own people with one hit after they killed a dragon was a little disheartening.

I'm thinking from the demo Giants are slow right? So even us tank characters might have to go "Shivering Isle Guardian" at worst.

Never mind giants or dragons. I read about one guy who got totally owned by a group of lions and tigers and bears. Oh my.

I love it when people paraphrase what somebody has already said earlier with similar phrasing and sentence structure. Trololol.

On topic:

I was just thinking about this today. I agree with the probability of silly scaling. From Todd's demo run, Giants look like cake. From what I'm hearing, I'm going to have to watch out around the tundra.

OH god. Somebody needs to get that dragon summoning shout and make the dragon fight a giant. YOUTUBE IT.

Giants one shot thru lvl 10 at least. Depending on where you engage a dragon, they can be very easy on the 'normal' difficult.
