Yeah dude, the Dragons aren't that bad. The Giants are the ones that keep peckerslapping me with relative ease.

Why are you fighting Giants? I walk by Giants all the time and they don't attack me.

LMAO.

Great post over at reddit about giants.

Minor spoilers. Nothing important but I know how VSN is.

 

The first time I encountered one was when you first meet the companions, and they are attacking one, so I jumped in to help.
This kind of set the tone, along with all of the 'Jack and the Beanstalk' propaganda we are fed as children. Giants were dangers to be annihilated at every opportunity. Plus their campsites usually had some sweet loot.
So after taking out about 4 of them, and their mammoth herds, and reaping much reward both in experience and gold, I began to notice that giants didn't actually aggro on me until I either got real close, or attacked them.
Otherwise, they kind of just stood there bellowing, shaking their massive clubs, a warning gesture.
I found this out when I stumbled upon one of their camps low on health, mana, and potions and decided to stealth through to all of the goodies.
As I was stealing all of his Mammoth cheese and a dwarven warhammer, I noticed the eyeball get big, I had been detected. Any other creature would immediately attack me for daring to take their possessions.
Instead the giant just faced me, an inscrutable look on his face. I sheathed my weapons and approached him. As I edged closer he raised his club and bellowed, yet did not attack.
The realization hit me like a hammer blow to the chest.
These weren't the angry aggressive monsters of story, they were herders protecting their flock.
Then I remember a few kills back, when I had managed to down a giant before finishing off his mammoth herd. After he dropped, the mammoths stopped attacking me. They all gathered over around the fallen body of their herder. Ignoring me, right in charging distance and shooting them with freezing arrows, they all lifted their trunks and trumpeted. It was so... mournful... so pain-filled...
At the time, my callous gamer heart ignored their lament and I actually thought 'bonus, now I don't have to keep dodging them'.
I killed them, all of them.
I chopped off their snouts, the instrument through which they voiced their pain. I harvested their tusks to give to some woman so she could prove herself to the Khajiit.
I mutilated the giant's body for potion ingredients and a pittance in gold.
I know now that it was I who was the monster, not them.
This is why I no longer hunt giants...

Well the first one was to see how I could do (two hits on him, and then I got thrown in the air insta-killed like in that video ATB posted). The second one was after a few more level bonuses when I wanted to see if I could do any better (spoiler: I didn't).

My point though is, the Dragons certainly look scary, but I haven't had too hard of a time with them yet (the 2v1 instance was pretty tough), where as the Giants seem pretty much invincible.

Cmon guys use spoilers!! I didn't know the game had giants, ffs, thanks for ruining it for me.............................

Trying to be an archer. Nearly impossible. But fun nonetheless

 

[Bomberooski]

 

The game has archers

 

[Fappin Raptor]

 

On the loading screen there was a dragon, my dog starting barking at it.

Archery gets a lot better higher up the skill tree. A lot better.

Same here but I'm finding good success with it.


Currently a Level 31 Archer with two perks with it, Eagle Eye(Lets me zoom) and another one that allows me to Stall a enemy at a 25% chance. The one I really want is the one that allows you to slow down time for better aiming while using the bow.


The Bow saves your ass in alot of situations. Helps with Sneek attachs that give you Critical Hits and also if a strong enemy is kicking your ass, jump on a tall object(Rock, ledge etc) and phew phew phew his ass. Its a good thing also that you can easily pick up 5 + arrows on dead enemies. Its hard to run out.


Also, for you guys that don't it. ALWAYS search a Dragon after killing it. It always has some cool stuff like a handful of Gold or even awesome weapons he prolly ate.

I killed two giants by climbing high onto a rock and then raining arrows down on dem hoes.

 

[MvP]

I don't know about you guys but I search the inventory of literally everything I come across.

 

[Chrispy]

:yep: same here


When they don't have anything i want i am disappointed

 

[Irish]

I love archery. At first I was in love with magic but now that I can basically 1 shot most guards/bandits/whoever it has been my go to weapon even close range.

 

[Sharkweather]

That had to be the easiest dragon soul I will ever get in this game. Dragon attacked me right when I was by a giant and its mammoth, I landed one spell and they did the rest. I wasn't sure I was going to get the soul but I did.

Is everyone using up their souls right away? I have 3 saved up and two shouts that I could learn, but I was kind of saving them for the chance I come across a bad ass shout or something.

Did you by chance take his club?

108 Damage...

Im just wondering if we can actually use it or not. I've killed one Giant in the same way you said you did but forgot to cop his weapon.

I am under the general impression that most Nords come off as pretentious assholes.

 

[mgoblue2290]

If I see a dragon, I run. Fuck my level 13 character taking on a dragon 1 on 1.

Serious? Dragons aren't all that tough if you can get them to land. Its the ones that circle above you and dont land very often that can be difficult.

 

[A Tasty Burgerr]

Have any of you guys had the issues as far as low-res textures and pop-in for an installed game?
I installed mine and don't think there's any graphical problems so far but I don't want longer load times by un-installing when its not necessary to.
