Patch 1.4 Notes

- Fixed the facegen issue on NPCs.

- New title image.
---------

---------
Patch 1.3 Notes

- Fixed a Navmesh issue preventing followers leaving the giant's location by normal means.
---------

---------
Patch 1.2 Notes

- Improved the NavMesh to allow the Giant to attack the player on the bridge and to stop him attempting to run into areas too small for him.

- Followers should now follow you into Bodean's Path and to the giant's location.

- Slightly reduced the incoming giant damage modifier of Holfir's Plate armor, making the fight a little harder.

- Added a chest to the crashed cart by the pond, adding to the overall reward value of the quest.
---------

---------
Patch 1.1 Notes

- Fixed the issues with quest markers and log entries not showing, however, this will likely reset the quest's progress (but shouldn't get rid of quest items already obtained).

***If you have issues with this quest reset, you can use the console to 'SetStage' followed by the quest ID 'tos_TheBiggerTheyAreQST' followed by the stage numbers 10, 40 or 200. 200 is for quest completion)***
---------

---------
Notes

- The quest does not have to be started to be completed, if you stumble upon the locations/enemies on your own, you're free to complete it as you see fit (just like back in the days of TES III: Morrowind).

- The quest can be started normally by reading Of Holfir Giant Slayer, a book that can be found in Whiterun's general store, the Bard's College, and as random loot in dungeons.

the name of the quest makes me think back nostalgically to the time when I was a teenager and Spellforce I had just been released and I played that game for the first time: there was also a giant that you had to kill before you could go to another map could and that questline had the same name as this quest: The Bigger They Are

Any chance of this being ported to SE/AE on nexus?

I Sparred with him for several days ( in game ), raising my Level 83 Adventurer to Level 91.
8 Easy LEVEL UPs by just the two of us sparring together. So I rewarded him with 100 GOLD INGOTS, but he wasn't Interested in Gold. Then I tried to Gift to the Giant a Dozen Live Goats, but he squashed them and wasn't interested in Goats. So I Marked him for Summons..
Left the little Valley entrapment, traveled to a large and lush green field, and Summoned him to that Location - HE WAS HAPPY ! Finally the Giant Giant no longer was trapped in that valley pass. HE WAS FREE ! He settled down to just enjoying his new location. Content, Peaceful as long as you didn't get too close, and very much Free to Roam all of Skyrim.
Do Not Kill Giants, protect them and lead them to Freedom. LET MY PEOPLE GO ! :-)

Well Duh, NEVER Kill the Giant Giant ! He's over 14,000 hit point damage sponge... so Mr. Giant Giant is your new Very Best Friend Forever. Go ahead and let him wack on you until your light and heavy armor skills are both 100. Go ahead and sneak past him and pepper him with a thousand arrows until your Archery & Sneak are 100. Go ahead and DESTRUCTIVE and HEAL OTHER RESTORATION him over and over for days... until both are 100.
= Then do it all LEGENDARY, until Your Character Hits Level 100. NEVER EVER KILL THIS GIFT GIANT !

Well, if you want to kill 4-5 more mobs, get some good orc armor, then it is fine. Otherwise no depth, no immersion, just one stupid hard to kill giant...

The thing that made me 100% decide to subscribe to this mod was seeing how irritated "Corrupted Gamer" was about it. No clue why, it just brought me joy to see the dude so cross. 10/10 mod, would subscribe again.

first off, it was super short!!! i bought the book at a GOD AWFUL PRICE for a BOOK i mean come on books are worth like 40 gold or less not 300! second off, i get sent to the burial of whoever giant slayer, yeet off his clothes and weapons and then go to a pass on the mountains and defeat: and i Quote: 4 spiders, 4 smugglers (leather armor mercenaries) and the giant himself. nobody talks to me, there is no immersion like the author said, no dungeons no quest no unique characters nothing. you kill the spiders and the smugglers and then follow the cave out of this exit into this open battlefield where you see the giant himself followed by two dead orc hunters. i didnt feel like i was doing someone a favor by killing this beast. yeah it was hard to kill him and you needed the weapons from the giant slayer to help you, but what i didnt expect was a tiny tiny hitbox on the giant and only the chest armor labeled as giant slayer armor which didnt do anything.
