Do giants have voice? : V

Well I usually avoid them, so I couldn't be sure about this. Do giants have voice? If not, why? Missing vocal cords or something? Or Bethesda simply forgot that?

I don't believe so. I don't know why, though.

I don't think they're smart/cultured enough to have a language beyond grunts & groans. Think people on saturday morning

What about quests involving giants, don't they speak then?

But they actually shout when they are angry at you but nothing is heard? :confused:

I've heard them talk, but it's mostly strange, simple words during combat.

Their language is simple and guttural.

Well giants are like the humans about 10.000 years ago,they already domesticated animals,build camps,makes fur robes and by that i can say that they have a very simple lenguage.Probaly by doing movements,as we see when they spot us.They are probaly trying to say "Get out get out".

The Voices bsa file has strings that refer to "giant" and "attack", so they must be making some kind of sound, but probably not speech.

lol funny video, thanks. I still can't hear something when they yell at you from some distance. I mean, I hear a bear's voice from a mile away, giants' voice should be heard more loudly from that distance :shrug:

Hey folks,

Someone here posted about the Giants originally being able to speak but Bethesda actually removed the language from them!
Believe it or not. That's what I read here some time ago: 2-3 weeks ago.

Bethesda......Why did you half bake Skryim?

Kinda glad they dont. Would have prolly been that arnold schwarzenegger voice like seemingly every guard has

» Fri Jun 01, 2012 2:16 pm

in lore they certainly have some sort of language

This is true,you can clearly see the option to talk in the first Demo.Also other creatures like giants posses the ability of speech.Such as Ogres,Goblins and falmers.

You mean an Austrian accent?

» Fri Jun 01, 2012 10:05 am

Eh, Beth prolly wanted to keep it simple. No sounds from the giants and Austrian accent for the guards. Even the female guards have it....reminds me of the movie w/ Ursula, his(Ahnold's) sista. =)

If there were more then one voice with that accent i would have said accent but now, most my guards I encounter with "that accent" is the same voice lol.
