So I was traveling along on a road just now and a dark furred troll comes after me. Easy enough fight really, I've dealt with these kinds before. I didn't even get a chance to attack when out of nowhere, a giant sprints across the road, instantly kills the troll, and rather than come after me, he simply waved his club in warning at me and lumbered away. I was at a loss for words XD.

They only attack if you run into their territory, and they issue warnings before attacking.

The mammoth herders only attack if you attack them or their mammoths.

I remember seeing that demo video where they were walking side by side with the giants, I attempted this and died rather quickly. Thought they were waving at me... noooope!

Did you know, that Giants are level 32, and have the Giant Club which has 60 base damage and can resist magic 33%? I'm just telling things about Giants that people may not know.

Yeah I know that. It was still funny how it decided to save my life and give me a chance to leave, even though I was right in his territory.

This troll givin' you trouble? I've fought trolls like this before

Anyone know if we can "increase faction" with giants? Will they always be neutral and unapproachable? I like the fact that they "warn" you before attacking but it would be nice if they would not attack you at all.

If I see a giant near where I am hunting dragons and I need help, I "train" the dragon to the giant and let the giant "tank" it. Then I kill the dragon and wait until the giant walks away to claim my "prize."

Ummm. What?

I once saw a giant send a skeever into orbit.

That's how you golf in Skyrim.

Noooo! Now a dragon is messing with the giants who saved me! I must help them! -determined face- I guess my Skyrim experience is lucky, a giant saving me and a dragon in the same area all in 10 minutes.

Don't follow them into their lairs whatever you do... you do not want to see what they do to the mammoths.
