It appears that the Heart of the Titan quest was originally meant to include some unique Titan rocks. This is mentioned in cut banter, where the companions remark that they've never seen anything like them before. It's unclear what these rocks were supposed to look like.
Bellara: This rock. I've never seen anything like it. Davrin: If this is rock, I've never seen anything like it. Emmrich: What force shaped these rocks? Lucanis: Is this normal for the Deep Roads? Neve: Now that's a rock. Are they like that down here? Taash: These rocks are weird. Harding: I think these formations were left behind by the Titans. Harding: Or they're part of a Titan. Taash: Wait. They're part of you? Sorry for calling them weird. If Taash is romancing Harding Taash: Wait. They're part of you? I didn't mean the rocks were weird. I meant pretty. They're pretty. Harding: No, not me. A Titan, from back when—you know, it doesn't matter. They are pretty, aren't they? (in the English dub, this line is incomplete idk why)
Another cut banter, named "TitanRock" suggests Harding had special interactions with them.
Harding: I can do this! Harding: Stand back! Harding: Here we go! Harding: I got it! Harding: How's this? Harding: Let's put this… here! Bellara: That's still very, very exciting. Every time. Davrin: Keep it coming, Harding. Never stops being exciting. Emmrich: Your powers always impress, Harding. Lucanis: Nice work, Harding. Neve: Nice work, Lace. You've really got a handle on this. Taash: That is so neat. Harding: It's still exciting, too. I think I'm getting better at it. If Taash is romancing Harding Taash: You are so sexy right now. Harding: Thanks, Taash. I think I'm getting better at it.
Additionally, Harding has unused animations named "TitanRock" as well. They differ from the ones used in the game mainly in that she jumps.
I'm not sure if the missing dwarves were trapped in these rocks. But there are cut lines in the script where the companions find a sword in the rock, providing the first hint about what happened to Stalgard and the others. A reference to Excalibur?
I think I found something. Hey! Signs! Of people! Tracks. Dwarves… or something like them. Tracks in the dust. Interesting. Tracks of some kind. Tracks in the dust. Might be dwarven. Yes. Faint lines, and chips of stone in the dust. You saw that in this gloom? I've had long practice in the Necropolis. Getting anything, Harding? Maybe. Unfortunately. Fear. The fear of being pressed in. Trapped. But I don't… I don't see anyone. Let's see where the trail goes. All right. Someone stabbed a rock. Oh, that's just weird. Why stab a rock? And how? I'd like to know how someone stabbed a rock. However did someone thrust this through a rock? That… cannot be good for the blade. Stabbed it right into the rock. Must be a sharp sword. Maybe the sword wasn't put in the rock. Maybe… the rock went around the sword. Wait. You mean… You mean… Don't tell me… Now there's a theory. What. If they were taken by something connected to the Stone… So they're trapped. Inside the rock. Are they trapped in the rock? They're trapped in the stone? They're inside the rock? Mierda. You think they're trapped in the rock. So whoever did this had the rock eat them? Then it can manipulate rock, like you can. Hey. Doesn't matter what it can do. You're better. You've got this. Thanks, Taash. But this means the victims might be in the rock.
Also, speaking of rocks, the encounter with the Wrath of Stone was supposed to take place not only in the final battle.
More big rock things! More of these? Rocks aren't supposed to fight! More of them? Harding! We've got more angry rocks! More of these things? More of these rock things! Something is really mad at me! Deal with me and leave everyone else alone!
