I wonder how difficult a female giant would be to implement? Just scale up a human model and make her look like the male half giants?

I don't think a half giantess is necessarily what you are asking for, but I was always a bit curious about the half giants. Did they reproduce like amoebas? :P Are they like dwarves in the Tolkien universe and females are rare and nearly indistinguishable from their male counterparts? Beards and all, hehe.

Oh, and if I recall correctly in DS1 LoA, there was a hireable young woman archer located at the giant camp, she and her sister had been taken in by them or something.

I think the history of dungeon siege mentions how the half giants evolved http://siegetheday.org/?q=node/1122

From memory they were Agallans who sided with Zaramoth so in punishment they were stripped of their size and banished. No female Agallans sided with Zaramoth so none were punished. How they reproduce I do not know but it seems their size has dimished even further over the years according to Magellus, who is part of a quest in DS2. If you talk to him a bit before offing him as he requests, he reveals some of the Half Giant's past. I think in the history of Dungeon Siege it hints that the Half Giants may be able to eventually atone for their sins and I assume become Agallans again.

Yes there is originally a hireable character in the Traders Camp but I didn't include her as there's already too many hireable characters for the Inn to handle if you recruit every single one of them (If this limitation is ever solved then there's no reason not to implement all the original hireable characters).
