📋 About This Mod

A true warrior would have relished the opportunity to take on a giant. - Aela the Huntress

Skyrim expects you to see a giant fight taking place outside Whiterun and join in, with Aela cornering you and chewing you out for not doing so.  Except the 3 Companions can take down a weak giant rather quickly, so often you don't even get a chance to join in.

This simple mod gives that specific giant five times more health, without otherwise making it more dangerous, to give players a chance to join in if they want.

It also gives the giant the standard "death item" reward options usually found on giants elsewhere in the game, including a Giant Toe.

The mod is very narrowly focused, only impacting this specific giant, and no others.

Two Version to Choose From:

  • []An ESL tagged ESP file.

    []A Skypatcher ini file. (Thanks davlan!)
