📋 About This Mod

All this mod does is add appropriate Giant death items to the giant fighting the companions outside of Whiterun. It feels rather underwhelming to pick up a handful of Skyforge Steel Arrows and nothing else from a giant, so I made this for consistency's sake.

Installation: Install this before encountering the scene outside Whiterun. While I don't foresee any issues with uninstalling this during a playthrough, it's best practice to never uninstall mods during a playthrough.

Compatibility: As long as nothing else directly touches the record for the specific Whiterun giant, this is compatible with it.

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

A tiny mod that adds giant-themed loot to the giant killed during the Companions quest outside Whiterun. With 340 endorsements and over 51,000 downloads, it's a popular, lightweight addition for players who want more immersive drops from that encounter.
