Talk:Giant (Skyrim)

'''Are they different kinds of Giant in skyrim? Not different skins but types.'''

As the title says. I think the giants is pretty small in Skyrim so I wonder if they are different types of them? Not different skins though becouse I already know they are. Harald97 (talk) 21:55, November 16, 2011 (UTC)

Giant Bug
Does the bug only occur in the PS3 & PC versions of Skyrim? I'm playing it on Xbox360, and all I get is an instant normal death. I was hoping to see the humorous death.99.37.47.134 03:22, November 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * I wasn't even aware this was a bug. I assumed this was intended until I read this. I'd like to see someone from Bethesda confirm whether or not this is a bug so we can fix the main article. Wi1lywonka (talk) 05:24, November 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * It isn't a bug... It just happens when you try to fight a giant when you are low level. They kill you in one hit and send you flying. 98.168.208.124 07:53, November 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * Someone should add the "Unrelenting force" strategy to kill a giant using the environment. Worked for me at very low level. 79.33.207.111 14:28, November 19, 2011 (UTC)

Damage
Well, I just did a little test and it seems that with 0 armor rating, a Giant's club swing will hit for 240 hp. Ouch. wadjet2 (talk) 22:52, November 23, 2011 (UTC)

Range
How far must one be to stay safe?

Most of the time the range is like 10 feet till they start threating me, but I had an ecnounter with two giants and a group of bards traveling about ntersecting each other, and the giants just looked at them and me even though we were litterrly touching them. 24.154.119.139 06:19, November 26, 2011 (UTC)

If they are guarding herds or camps you can't get too close, they will threaten before attacking.

I did come aross a random event where a lone giant was just wandering and three wolves attacked him. I was able to walk right up to him without a problem.
