Because animating something that huge is a giant pain in the ass. The giants are nicely proportioned in the game. I think having triple size giants stomping around would have looked ridiculous.

They could have used the mamoths as rollerskates..

That giant was done with a console command. The same thing could be done to any NPC or Creature. And, no, the Giants were never this big in the game, even pre-release.

The fighting system and animations would not allow for something that huge. They would have to make some type of boss battle system where you would dodge his giant attacks and press random buttons to run up his arm and try to stab a sword into his brain. That would not be good, it would further turn it into an action game, a mindless one at that.

The footage isn't from a pre-release version of Skyrim or anything, just regular Skyrim. Giants were always as big as you see them in regular Skyrim. Any other size is either done by a mod or by console commands.

They stay as they are. I'm fine with their size. They're big enough. And they deal enough melee damage to be very scary, especially at lower levels.

yeah thats too big for any creature imo giants are a little small though I'd liek to see modders make some stone giants that are roughly twice their size, [censored] make it a cyclops less eyes to work on and its cool
