So, regarding our 'giant' problem. : V

» Thu May 10, 2012 3:05 pm

Is Bethesda aware of the issue with giants? Like the one-shotters on me whilst i'm in my legendary dragon armour.
Like, the issue that involves us getting thrown thousands of feet into the air.

And the fact that i'm more afraid of a wounded giant than 5 blood dragons on steroids?

How about the flying mammoths?

It was on the ground then in the sky in like a second. Then it gently glided back to the Earth.
O.o

I think the logic goes:

A) The giants are still alive.
B ) The giants are giant cavemen with clubs. How did they survive?
C) The giants are the most deadly creatures to walk Tamriel.

They seem to have serious problems navigating objects such as rocks, and they're too big to fit through the doorway of a tower. So if you use ranged combat and are smart about it, you can kill giants almost immediately after escaping the first dragon!

Let's just hope they introduce a doorway spell, then.

Giants help me get rid of Dragons and/or bandits

I got one hit by a giant and was thrown 100s of feet in the air as well. I just thought it was me. So this is a glitch or bug then?

I like the giants... they teach us humility

It's a well known bug.

Well, considering I can one shot them too with a decent stealth attack, I'd say we're even.

» Thu May 10, 2012 9:25 pm

For me the giants stood back and watched everyone around me get mauled by a dragon?
Is there a reason for this or are they just [censored]s?

Dont see how giants and mammoths would be touger in game than dragons

This with spades

"...aware of the issue with giants..." seriously?

At the start of the game, where were Dragons? Extinct. (Alduin doesn't exist. QUIET!)

At the start of the game, where were Giants? Everywhere.

Why do you think that is?

They do have a big club.

Stay away from the big club. :spotted owl:

Well, if a man/woman can kill a dragon (you), then I'm pretty sure a giant can too..

They make dragon fights a lot easier too.. if you hear one flying overhead, just divert to the nearest Giant camp, and you'll be able to watch while the dragon kicks its ass, and then you can swoop in for the kill.

The giants don't have a "one shot bug", they just one shot you, the rest is a bug with the rag-doll physics.

The dragons enslaved the humans and ruled over them, only surpassed by the Gods.
The gods were surpassed by the giants.

What issue?

I seriously hope Bethesda don't start nerfing creatures because some kiddies can't handle the challenge. :confused:

Just don't mess with giants until you're a high enough level. That's the simple solution. I've already reached a level where they can no longer take me out in one hit... so it's possible to kill them.

» Thu May 10, 2012 9:07 pm

So even at high levels, the giants are able to fling the player 100's of feet in the air??? This happened to me at level 8, but I assumed this possibility would go away after reaching a sufficiently high level.

» Thu May 10, 2012 11:07 am

Seriously though giants are so slow, you can just run around them and all theyl hit is dirt with that nasty club or foot of theirs.

» Thu May 10, 2012 10:37 pm

We now know why dragons can fly.... otherwise they would have been wiped out by the giants long ago!

When i'm running around at level 26 with the best armour and weapons in the game and I can only really get them down to half health (and even then, that's pushing it) and I still get 1-2 shotted, yet I can take on 2+ dragons at a time... I thinkt hat says something. Maybe it isn't the 'kiddies' maybe it's the normal players.

» Thu May 10, 2012 9:40 pm

I find the bug freakin hilarious. I hope Bethesda does not remove it. Nothing is wrong with an enemy several times stronger than you.

Them? You trying to take on several giants at once?
But in other news, you tried to fight a Dwemer Centurion? The big badass human face robot? ITS FRIGGIN INSANE I TELL YA, the steam cannon or whatever the f it uses is overpowered, only way I could beat it was stand at the end of a long hallway and fire a billion arrows at it before it went down.
