I like giants just fine - so long as the weapon the giant is wielding is set properly for the giant. A 30 lb longsword that can be wielded -only- by a giant which, when it drops to the ground, can't be retrieved by the human player.. that sort of attention to detail I admire.

What I object to are the 30 lb longswords that any ol' human can pick up, wield and actually fight with. That wrecks my suspension of disbelief.. (that, and dwarves with lightsabers)... and makes me wonder if I should come back after balancing is finished.
