They are barbaric and competitive in nature, and provide a distinct contrast to the other races.'While their competition isn't in the same way a half-giant's was, it's pretty clear there's parallels between goliaths and half-giants that are not merely coincidence.Why be upset about something that always was?</blockquote>
