[QUOTE="Vaalingrade, post: 8657845, member: 82524"] So I wanted to came back to this because I had the same problem and solved it thusly: Giants are extinct. There's a big setpiece at a museum with a complete giant skeleton and everything. Except... Turns out when the world ended the first time, the giants saw it coming and skedaddled. They went to another world, pushed out the locals and started terraforming for Giantish optimization. The displaced locals are trying to escape what is essentially an environmental apocalypse... but coming to the original world. The giants, fearing rebellion, are now sending scouts back to the world to try and convince everyone here that the people arriving from terrifying red portals and speaking a language no one understands is a demonic invasion and everyone here should kill them, actually. Don't try and understand them. just kill. Because they're evil monsters. Says who? Oh... We're nature spirits. Totally not giants. What are those? Now go kill those different guys. Hmm... looks like this placed apocalypses real nice. Maybe we should come back... Imagine 20ft tall Age of Discovery Gentlemen with Steampunk weaponry and a Scooby-Doo Villain plan for dual world domination. [/QUOTE]
