In the gameplay footage, Todd walks outside Whiterun and walks up to a giant. The crosshair says "Talk To". There was even an article where he caimed that you could do quest together with some of them.

2 times I have walked up to a giant that didnt intimidate me, and was all friendly but there was no option to talk with him.

Were we lied to again? I really wanted to have that feature in the game.

I remember watching where he said they would not attack you.. and technically they don't unless you ignore their warnings to back off- But I *never* saw anything about talking to them in any previews or interviews. Maybe you misunderstood what he was saying.

You mean you actually found a friendly giant. The only two times I've come across one, they chase me down launch me like a golf drive. Since, I do everything I can to avoid them.

Every. Single. Giant. Will. Warn. You. As. You. Come. Close. Before. They. Attack.

And not every giant will attack you, Ive walked next to plenty of giants, they are always protective of their mammoths or territory.

I make it my job to commit genocide on the giants, I've been doing it since lvl 12, before then it was too much of a struggle to hit and run.

I dont know if it was a bug, but I saw a giant who was almost naked (only had "underpants" to cover his....thing) and walk right up to touch him, but no option for talking with him.

You can all see for yourself in the video.

Tood walks up to a giant and the chrosshair says "Talked To". it happens when he is about to walk to the mammoth and bash it with is shield.

No we can't because there is no such video.

The only video with Todd talking about the game with him playing and talking about the giants he doesn't even get close enough to it to do anything.

Even if there was a glimpse of what you're saying, the video is from a very early version of the game and could have been a bug or a removed feature.

This. I've walked up to plenty of giants that were cool with me walking beside them (very close beside them).

Just approach slowly. See if the giant is getting agitated. Don't get near or screw with their herds of mammoths or goats (some herd goats). And don't stroll into one of their camps all willy-nilly.

I found a named giant once, but couldn't talk to him.

In one demo video, when Todd Howard moused over a Giant, the "Talk" option appeared on the crosshair. There was no real confirmation that pressing A would have actually struck up a conversation, but people speculated.

I wanted a giant companion

And yeah, that's a DEMO Gamplay -video.

I love threads that have "lied to" or "betrayed" in their topic name. But I haven't seen any "betrayed" topics yet and it makes me sad

Look guys I was on here when the game was first anounced, and been reading most of the early articles. He told that there was a quest were you could help the giants hunt a mammoth.

Look at the chrossahir in this video at 0:25 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kt7IeycKJKQ
