One of the iconic monsters that players can spot while roaming around the open fields of Skyrim are the giants, and many members of the game's community likely have memorable first encounters with these foes back when they first started the game. Now, another player has learned more about these dangerous monsters, albeit the hard way, just as they began their adventures in the action RPG.
