📋 About This Mod
Don't attack him, he's not hostile.
Looks like that the original idea was:
-
[]you interrupt a Hagraven reviving a Giant
[
]you kill her, but as soon as she dies the process completes[]the Giant, understandably pissed off and confused, attacks the Forsworn (in case there are some left, of course)
[]the spell wears off and the poor thing goes back to Oblivion.
If the Hagraven has already been killed, it will work only in a new game.
A note about the giants' movement
Giants are slow.
When not in combat, their walk and run speeds are exactly the same: while a NPC walks at 80 and runs at 370, giants walk and "run" at less than 62.
That's why I gave him teleport AI in the "silly version" in which the giant follows you instead of dying again... as awkward as it may be.
To change that, you might edit the "GiantDefault_MT" Movement Type, but this will apply to all giants.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 381 endorsements and over 104k downloads.
- ESP-FE means it's lightweight and won't bloat your load order.
- Fills a small but appreciated gap for players who want that interaction back.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2020, so it may not be actively maintained for newer Skyrim versions.
- Only affects one specific encounter, so it's a very niche fix.
- Potential compatibility risk with mods that overhaul the Karthspire area or giant behavior.
For Skyrim players who remember the cut giant revival at Karthspire and want it back in their game. It's a must-have for lore enthusiasts and completionists who enjoy restoring cut content. Skip if you're not interested in minor encounter tweaks or if you use mods that heavily alter Karthspire.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's an ESP-FE, you can safely add it to your load order without worrying about the 255 plugin limit.
- Place it near the bottom of your load order to ensure it overrides any conflicting changes to the Karthspire giant.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and install; no extra patches needed.
