Will there ever be another good LOTR game?
Also,LOTR Thread
Probably, eventually. Still no real Lotr RPG has been made for some reason. Might be cool.
Shadow of mordor was... mediocre. But it wasnt a lotr game
>>332294916
>Probably, eventually. Still no real Lotr RPG has been made for some reason. Might be cool.
What about LOTR: The Third Age?
It had problems because it ended up getting rushed, but it had some seriously cool shit in it.
>>332295093
I liked the nemesis system. Kept me entertained a while.
>>332295161
I'm talking real RPG, not shitty Final Fantasy remake. I am talking full party of adventurers, lots of dialogue, lots of traveling etc. Like Baldur's Gate kind of. The setting is pretty much made for a deep RPG but nothing has been made yet.
>>332294916
War in the North, while not a proper RPG, still gave me tons of fun. Felt like I was playing Dark Alliance again.
>>332295258
It was amusing I guess but still too simple.
Nothing fun about playing a game when you know what will happen afterwards anyways. How people can find a universe already predetermined what will happen in the future, fun, I'll never understand.
>>332295163
yeah that was what made the game special in some way.
>>332295428
>poopyface
is this a serious insult adults use now?
>>332295359
Lol? The game could simply be about something within the universe that doesn't completely pertain towards the original story?

List of great LOTR games
>Fellowship of the Ring (yes I'm serious, try it out)
>Two Towers
>Return of the King
>The Third Age
>Battle For Middle-Earth 1/2
>War In the North (yes, it's also awesome.)
Am I missing any?
>>332298769
The Fellowship of the Ring was absolutely god-tier and I cried in a few places. Both the Two Towers and Return of the King felt a little too fast paced for me, and I actually liked the movie versions more.
At the hill's foot Frodo found Aragorn, standing still and silent as a tree; but in his hand was a small golden bloom of elanor, and a light was in his eyes. He was wrapped in some fair memory: and as Frodo looked at him he knew that he beheld things as they once had been in this same place. For the grim years were removed from the face of Aragorn, and he seemed clothed in white, a young lord tall and fair; and he spoke words in the Elvish tongue to one whom Frodo could not see. "Arwen vanimelda, namári!" he said, and then he drew a breath, and returning out of his thought he looked at Frodo and smiled.
"Here is the heart of Elvendom on earth," he said, "and here my heart dwells ever, unless there be a light beyond the dark roads that we still must tread, you and I. Come with me!" And taking Frodo's hand in his, he left the hill of Cerin Amroth and came there never again as living man.

Lego LOTR was pretty good from what I remember
>>332294846
Hey thanks for reminding me OP, I need to marathon the LOTR Extended Edition boxset again.
>>332294846
there will never be another battle for middle earth
>>332300104
That was very good. It was pretty cool being able to walk from The Shire to Mordor
>>332300104
i really wanted to like it but i couldn't. i guess im not much on puzzle/platforming.
Am I the only one who enjoyed playing this?
>>332300856
No, I loved it and have beaten it three times.
>>332300856
how is the single player? a lot of people say it's shit and is only worth playing with friends.
This shit was too fun
I liked Shadow of Mordor.
Being an immortal spirit of vengeance was cash. But it was kind of too easy to slaughter normal orcs and certain combinations of the warlords/ranked orcs was bullshit. Looking at you Mr immune to ranged, immune to melee, immune to stealth niggers, with a big ass tower shield that can't be broken.
>>332300856
i would like to play it but for some fucking reason it runs at 5 frames, just like the darkness 2, some day these 2 games just stop working
>>332295093
If they wanted crazy magic stuff they could just place the game in the 1st age. But nooo,this faggots need to have Sauron and the Rings of Power
>>332296435
One day someone will make this in a game similar to Dark Souls + Baldur's Gate + TES.
Or not.
>tfw no first age game
>will never find Gondolin just before its fall after getting lost in the mountains
>will never ride into battle with a massive army at your back ending in a terrifying pyrrhic victory against the armies of Morgoth
>>332301001
It's not exactly the greatest game ever made and it's a bit repetitive and confusing at times but if you enjoy the setting it's definitely worth a play. The city hubs like Lothlorien are comfy and good to explore and have conversations with the characters as they will tell you stories.
Online coop play is always better than playing it alone.
>>332302297
so much this, the universo of lotr is huge, but developers always want to make the same shit over and over again.
>>332302395
You're now realizing you would have to stoop like Gandalf just to fit in this tiny fucking 4 foot high room.
Unless you're a midget or something.
>>332302985
It's because casuals know nothing about the Middle Earth setting and only know about the Third Age/War of the Ring so devs and their execs want to play it safe.
>tfw friend of mine actually prefers the Hobbit trilogy over LOTR movies
>>332294846
>Battle of middel earth had good working units that could merge and good building workarounds
>Battle of middel earth 2 had custom heros, alot of new units, races and diffrent ways you could play the races. they also upgraded the power tree
i love both of them for diffrent resons
>>332298517
Hope for Alzheimer's, bud.
>>332295161
I remember playing that on the ps2, I know what you mean about rushed but it was really good. they experimented with a few things and it was interesting, but ultimately a bit too much like final fantasy
The Lego Hobbit game was pretty good for what it was
Though for some weird reason it doesn't cover the third movie and they canned the DLC that was going to.
>>332301238
It was.
I wanted to play it again not too long ago only to see that EA shut down the servers. Fucking faggots, the game isn't even that old.
The multiplayer was hilariously unbalanced, archers could literally oneshot everything.
>>332304147
It's a goddamn tragedy. So much potential.
>tfw no children of hurin rpg
>tfw no fall of numenor game where you have to stealth your way out of the island as elendil
>>332305624
i yawn at that image
i cant appreciate it like other can
nice to know someone was happy because of it
bfme 2 was the best lotr game
>>332295161
>final boss is literally SAURON'S EYE
it was so bad but I still love that game
>>332305624
Woah.
That's pretty amazing.
>>332305624
I don't believe this much detail went into movie. Legolas' smile is just a coincidence.
>>332307093
i dont belive it too, but still it fits nicely
>>332307093
>I don't believe this much detail went into movie. Legolas' smile is just a coincidence.
What's neat is that this awesome little detail is never stated in the LOTR books nor in anything Tolkien published in his lifetime. The significance of this seemingly minor detail only came up years after Tolkien's death when his son published The Silmarillion.
>>332296435
Damn I love me a good well done fantasy landscape, why is this kind of shit not in more vidya games?
>>332298201
But there was a woman in that scene charging and yelling just like all the men.
>>332307683
I doubt this is what woman would think about in the shower though.
>>332307093
I dunno. Christopher Lee and Magneto were both huge dicks about details like that while on the set.
>>332295163
For a first attempt, I thought the nemesis system was pretty clever for what it tried to do. Enemies learning from previous engagements, finding new ways to fight and defeat you.
I hope that one day, the system will be built into other games, where what you do and how you interact with the wold and those in it will have lasting, appreciable affects on the world and your role/choices in it.
Hoping for a good Battle for Middle Earth 3
Provided EA doesn't dumb down the mechanics
>>332308275
It'll be like C&C4.
>>332308153
>That quote
That's pretty gay, orc.
>>332305624
>>332307093
Some nerd who read the books told Jackson to tell Orlando Bloom to smile in that scene. Nothing more to it.
>>332308513
It's supposed to be.
A bit slow, but I just started reading the Silmarillion. Feanor seems to be a huge retard, but I must say that I like this guy.Goddamned you Telerei, just make some new boats for them.
>>332295093
I literally just closed that game
Only worthwhile thing about this turd is the nemesis system, sole reason I have 9 hours in it so far
The lorerape is just embarassing
>>332304147
>>332302297
Wasn`t it that Tolkien`s nephew or something has the rights over the silmarillion and he keeps it from everyone? I thought that was why we don`t have anything from first age
I mean armies of balrogs, dragons, gods and all that would sell a lot, no one is that retarded to let that pass
Will you faggots stop talking about Fuck Tolkien: The Game?
This is a LotR thread.
>>332308920
Best part of the game is taking over the army. Ratbag is the tutorial on that. Follow his quest, get to the second map, and do main quests until you can convert orcs. Then it's fun.
>>332308995
Tolkien's son Christopher, who himself teaches at Oxford, holds the rights and he'll be damned if he lets one more piece of the legendarium ever become licensed.
>>332308864
I think the Silmarillion is one of the better books, especially if you've read his other works. And it does start off slow, but you need to get a good grasp on lineage, as it becomes more important later. Enjoy the ride, there is nothing like reading it the first time.If only Feanor wasn't such a fuckboi, things wouldn't have turned out so bad. He is the catalyst for everything.
>>332308995
No studio is going to pay 300 million to make a movie in which none of the lotr characters has a role.

>>332308535
You guys are thinking of Hobbit Jackson.
Jackon, Walsh and the others who wrote up the script for LotR and worked on the worldbuilding actually really cared about what they were making and knew their shit. It was a real passion project that Jackson couldn't believe he was funded to make.
He never wanted to direct The Hobbit but Del Toro dropped out and I guess the studio offered him a gorrilion dollars to half-arse it.
>>332309712
>best mod
>not The Last Days for M&B
Did anyone else play it?
I thought it was really fun
Fuck, this thread shows me how much I miss the Lord of the Rings games, I got almost all of them, even the Gameboy/Gameboy Advance games and Playstation 2 games, also that amazing The Hobbit game for PC and consoles. That were great times I'm telling you, really great times. My favorites are still BFME 1 and 2.
>>332310361
Man the Hobbit movies were fucking awful
I expected bad but not that bad
>>332310605
Was also a good time for comfy Harry Potter games.
>>332310669
I know, man. I know. Sometimes I catch myself staring at a wall and thinking about how bad they were, have to pull myself back to reality. It's a wound that doesn't heal.
Still haven't watched the third one. Fuck that noise.
>>332310574
Hell yes I fucking did.
The game was buggy out the ass though, or at least on my grandparents PC it was. Had to constantly restart a few levels because shit literally wouldn't spawn, or the boss would get stuck behind a wall.
But fuck it was fun and made me love the hobbit as a kid.
>>332310361
Del Toro didn't dropped. Apparently he wanted to make changes regarding styles to fit his personal vision, which would depart from the estabilished Jackson style. The studio then pushed him out and brought Jackson back. And yeah, Jackson had no interest in directing this.
>>332310605
>BFME
>Rohan
>Train a shit ton of Rohirrim

Was this the game with 3 minute load times to get into a simple house on the original Xbox?
I think I "played" it for a bit.
>>332310837

The Rise of the Witch-King's campaign was so fucking good, even if itsn't canon.
I love playing as an evil overlord.
>>332314381
C'est pas faux.
>>332314413
Melkor is an evil asshole who caused terrible wars but the son of a bitch didn't breed infighting and distrust among his forces so they couldn't hold the line against an enemy.
>>332314381
It's a shame the series will never be known outside of french-speaking countries.
>>332307617
Copyrights, anon.
Everything is an "intellectual property" now
>there will never be a coop game about the blue wizards doing fuck knows what fuck knows where
>>332314751
But it's okay because he did the same thing earlier among the Noldor. That's absolutely fine, it's not like this caused all the later mischief. He was just a bad guy, how could I forget!
>>332314056
Don't forget about Dwarf Fortress if you want a more generalized fantasy story generator.
>>332301238
It got such meh reviews but I loved it.
>>332314935
They went east, which is basically mordor controlled land. Probably got buttfucked, them light blue sissies
Mordor was ok you faggots, the nemesis system is cool as fuck, yeah it kinda shits on the lore, but every game does that, so I consider it it's own thing like an alternate timeline
the world looks authentic and the visuals are top notch, the orks and uruks are amazing and the real star of the show
>>332315338
That final "boss" nothing more than qte bullshit. They hyped up that final battle so much. Was cool as hell to fight bunch of nemeses/chieftans with your ragtag uruks at same time tho.
>>332315857
yeah, but they did deliver on the Sauron boss fight, in the bloody DLC
>>332315295

I played it on Gamecube. I really enjoyed it, and I'm not one for platformer games. It had good puzzles, the platforming was multidimensional, and the combat could be approached in many different ways.
Overall a great game, with a fantastic soundtrack.

There was no way that dedicating an entire movie to like 30 pages could ever turn out good.
You have to wonder how badly moviefags took it. Imagine waiting a year to see the conclusion of Smaug's menace only for him to die in the first five minutes.
Why are the lotr movies so damn good? I could rewatch them every week.
It just feels like a damn adventure. I want more of that. Maybe a nice D&D movie exactly like lotr.

The books are great, lots of more world building.
You should give the Silmarillion a chance too, it's basicly old testament with elves, gods and giant shadow weaving spiders
>>332320592
Why wouldn't I read them?
Since I watched the movies first I was surprised it took Frodo 20 damn years to get off to his quest.
Though that higlights differences between hobbits and humans when 50 is only middle aged.

I wish there were more grand fantasy movies as good as the LOTR trilogy. It seems like every other fantasy movie that's come out since has been massively inferior/total shit.

I think the main diffrence between LotR and other fantasy fiction is that LotR is very much written like a historical epic whilst other shit is not only derivative (of another work of fiction rather than real mythology) but it's written like regular fictional novels.
I'd seriously argue that LotR and the books related to the setting deserve their very own sub-genre; epic fantasy.
Why was Gandalf so useless a lot of times
I know he's supposed to be some envoy sent by the gods or some shit but come on.
>>332322610
I think the main diffrence between LotR and other fantasy fiction is that LotR is superior to literally everything
Why did they fuck up the Hobbit so badly?
It's like they forgot everything that made the LOTR movies good.
>>332322610
It's mythical folk tales. That was Tolkien's life pursuit, studying and writing those things. He did a lecture on Beowulf and single handedly changed the academic perspective on it from "just a story of a hero killing some monsters" to it's own place in fictional history.
>>332323012
they cashed in, it was about the money, also jackson went full lucas with green screen and CGI
>>332322954
>he's supposed to be some envoy sent by the gods
Yeah, to offer advice mostly.
>>332323152
Jackson might deserve some of the blame, but he was literally incapable of doing anything about that part. The Hobbit had virtually 0 pre-production whilst the LotR films had years.
There's a video from one of the Hobbit dvds (I think) that shows how fucked the whole production was. Conan Stevens jumped ship on GoT (he was the original Mountain) to play the son of Azog in the Hobbit, but they eventually turned to CGI simply because it was easier and quicker.
This is still the best LotR game I have ever played. And they are still making expansions for it regularly.
>>332322954
Because he was forbidden to match power with power since last time they did that a subcontinent sank.
Also he was scared of orcs.
>>332322954
>>332323297
Gandalf didn't really have the right to go fuck shit up. If I'm not entirely mistaken (and correct me if I am) he wasn't allowed to directly confront any other maiar. Durin's Bane (the balrog in Moria) completely overstepped his boundaries when he went to fuck with Gandalf and was summarily fucked up. Likewise, Saruman failed in his duty as a maiar by being a powerhungry twat and subsequently had his staff broken by Gandalf who was the new boss of the istari.
The Hobbit
The Lord of the Rings trilogy
The Silmarillion
The Children of Húrin
Is that everything, as far as Middle-Earth narrative novels go?
>>332322061
Game of Thrones fits the bill. Not gonna debate which is better but its not total shit.

Doesn't look that far off from what you could see in Skyrim, with some reservations of course.
>>332324425
Then you might want to add these and that book where Tolkien replied to letters.
>>332318536
Short answer is that it was rushed. They were shooting some of the battle scenes even before the script was finished.

They're worse than the prequels because at least those gave us podracer.
I liked The Hobbit movies, although they're not a patch on the LOTR trilogy and they're very bloated.
Saying that, I have not seen the extended versions.
>>332325415

I like the game but the difficulty curve is literally inverted. The longer you play, the easier it becomes. Start as champion, it's easy. Continue with ranger, it's easier. End with loremaster before finishing because it's too easy and boring.

>>332320507
Cmon anon, Fable The Lost Chapters
Easy answer
>>332330143
I agree. It makes fuckall sense.
Did they want to humanise Gandalf or something? I mean come on. The Witch King of Angmar was a fucking ringwraith, like a doped up ghost. Gandalf the fucking White is not only the Middle-earth equivalent of an angel, he's the head of the Istari. It rustles me to this very day.
>>332330143

It's sad because I really like the thought of hanging out in middle earth but the lackluster handling of the MMO kind of dampened its chances

>>332330595
Aragorn burnt his ugly ass with a torch.
Witch King is literally aint shit.
He is just a buff ring wraith.

>Proof: nonexistant
>source: my anus
The scene at amon hen gave no indication that it was the witch king. Ergo the point still stands that the scene with gandalf only exists to give the following scene with eowen any meaning.
>>332309441
>Tom then put the Ring on his finger, yet not only did he not disappear, but the Ring appeared to have no effect on him at all. After making the Ring itself vanish with a slight-of-hand trick, he returned it to Frodo, who, slightly suspicious that it had not made Tom vanish, put it on to make sure it was the genuine Ring. Tom surprised him yet again by revealing that he could see Frodo even with the Ring on, and told Frodo to remove it, stating that his hand was fairer without it.
FUCK

Who is Tom Bombadil? He made a brief appearance in the GBA LOTR game when frodo gets lost in the forest too.
>>332335194
the guy who gives them elven daggers
>>332335194
>'He is,' said Goldberry, staying her swift movements and smiling. Frodo looked at her questioningly. 'He is, as you have seen him,' she said in answer to his look. 'He is the Master of wood, water, and hill.”
>>332335194
No one knows. Some believe he is a personification of Illulvatar (God), others believe he is some sort of deity that has existed since the dawn of time and so on, but there is no clear answer.
The only certain thing is that he is insanely powerful, to the point that he fucks up logic by doing things like >>332332187.
Like that pic says, if he wanted he could have ended all conflict in Middle Earth in 3 seconds, but he only wants to chill in his comfy house with his waifu.

>>332309441
>implying that Tom Bombadil would have been able to defeat Sauron
hahahaha
no
Bombadil is certainly very strong, and would have probably been the last individual in Middle - Earth to fall to Sauron's forces, but he would fall eventually nonetheless
>>332335340
Not elven - made by ancient men to defeat the witch king.
Bombadil's responsible for Merry's assist in helping Eowyn kill the witch king.
>>332335401
*but only within the boundaries of the Old Forest
>>332335862
Which means that he is the only reason Eowyn killed the Witch King.
If Merry didn't stab him with the magic dagger that cancelled his "Immune to physical damage" buff, Eowyn would have died like a bitch.
>>332335725

>>332336219
The prophecy didn't do shit, aside from making the Witch King arrogant as fuck.
In the end he was killed thanks to Tom's daggers and Merry and Eowyn's massive balls.
>>332336082
I love how tolkien wrote all the songs but every time I read them I just kept reading it with the same tune
>>332336081
"There would be nothing left for Tom Bombadil in the world of Sauron" -- Tolkien's private letters
Bombadil would not win if Sauron got the ring
>>332336360
All good prophecies are fulfilled not by their power themselves but through coincidence and shit. Like Oedipus!
>>332336361
Same thing with me.
Reading the songs was awkward as fuck because I didn't know their tone or rhythm, so I had to read them in an ugly monotone voice.
By the time of LOTR, is there a single elf left on Middle-Earth who had personally seen the light of the Two Trees, or had every last on of them sailed into the undying lands at that point?
>>332332146
GANDALF EXPLICITLY STATES THE WITCH KING STABBED FRODO ON WEATHER TOP
PROOF: THE FUCKING MOVIE
>>332336459
That doesn't mean that Sauron is stronger than Tom, just that if he won Tom would fuck off because a Sauron-ruled world wouldn't be comfy.
>>332336459
That meant Bombadil vs Sauron + his armies.
A duel between Bombadil vs Sauron would end up turning Sauron into a sock
>>332336686

>>332337593
No, he had some magic bullshit buff that made him immune to physical attacks. Merry cancelled the buff with Tom's dagger and that's why Eowyn could kill him with her shitty sword.

why did they ditch Del Toro, again?
>>332338478
Never heard about it.
The prophecied end of time involves a massive battle in which pretty much every single important character in the history of Arda (the Fellowship aside) will come back from the dead/their prison/wherever the fuck they are at max power and beat the living shit out of each other till Morgoth is killed, the lost Silmarillions are found and the world is created anew.
So basically NotRagnarok.
>>332338954
sounds like a pretty metal time? where do I sign up? are dead men allowed to the party, or is this elves and Valar only?

>>332339507

Get a part going of elfs and dwarfs, explore the newly birthed world, when you get strong and bold you can venture into the anguished lands of Ang'bad. Lay siege upon the dark lords fortress until you force out his legions.
Oh man that would be the game to splerg on.
An RPG set during a time where everything happens.
Enter a cave, discover cave beasts, giant monsters.
That feel when you get a quest to aid fingolfin in a fight against Morgoth. Watch himDie
Sheeeeit someone fund me a big Tolkien game pls

Why does he wear the mask.
>>332341946
Never played that but have heard it mentioned in comparison
War of the ring is also pretty great
>>332331854
His little known King Arthur adaptation was really great too and would've probably been the best version of the legend had he finished it
>tfw you can no longer recall the Shire, nor the taste of food or water
>>332306225
Yeah that ending was so fucked. I thought it was ok up to that point. You're on the Fields and then for little to no context you fight the Eye. Also fuck the stun lock fights in that game.
>>332337302
I'm assuming it's Lan but holy shit is that image awful.

>>332294846
Was there ever a good LoTR game aside from the RTS? I don't remember the name, something like Armies of Middleearth
>>332342127
I liked the way the movies handled the charge of the Rohirrim and the fight between Eowyn and the Witch King
>>332342806
battle for middle earth 1 & 2. Fantastic gems.
>>332342887
Isengard is best faction.
Prove me wrong.
Is there any art of what people envisioned how the Barad-Dur looked, before the movies came out and completely codified the public's perception of it? I'm curious.
>>332342646
Joke's on you, anon. Got a great best friend.
>>332342887
Yeah, forgot it
The best part was how they made the player explore the map instead of staying the base. That was great. Also the WC3-like hero system

Time to go on a journey, lads.
>>332343000
Yes.. I have seen it.
>>332295093
I really liked it, but it didn't feel like LOTR at all.
is there anything that /v/ agrees that Jackson's movies did RIGHT? Or even better than the source material?
>>332343297
Soundtrack and landscape views at the very least. Prove me wrong
I sometimes feel like playing this again but is a ton of content still locked behind subscriptions?
>>332343297
Soundtrack. I defy anyone ITT to unironically claim that the OST for the movies isn't one of the single best-composed soundtracks of all time
>>332343297
LOTR felt like a genuine journey. The growth of the characters was phenomenal. They nailed how Middle Earth gradually expanded as the quest continued and it captures the feels.
Felt like a labour of love and something genuinely crafted.
Since it's a LOTR thread, does anyone know how to remove the 30 fps cap in BFME 1? I tried to do it a few years ago and didn't find anything helpful.
>>332343297
The Hobbit films :^)
>>332343426
>landscape
This is supposed to be Rohan.
I love the Jackson trilogy, but man the art from before the movies was dope.
This thread really, really helped me get through the day. So much more than you know.
THIS is how mostly off-topic threads on /v/ should be.
>>332307683
but she was an actress lmao
>>332343587
:(
fuck you Del Toro
fuck you New Line
we hates it forever!
>>332295093
That game would have been amazing if they just dropped the fucking ranger and just let your play as your own customizable orc and you rise up the ranks and get your own warband and eventually start a orc rebellion against sauron who then wrecks your shit at the end of the game.
>>332307801
she would be thinking of Aragorn in the shower, anon
>>332343598
What an ocean of gold.
>tfw the movies didn't include a defeated Sauron rising as a giant hand made of smoke from the ruins of Barad-Dur, and almost smiting Gondor's armies before being blown away by a gentle breeze
feels bad, why didn't they do this?
>>332343776
Are there any games besides the Elder Scrolls series that lets you play as an orc?
>>332343829
Who wouldn't?
>>332344016
would /v/ a Viggo Mortensen?
>Farmer Maggot casually tells a Ringwraith to fuck off his land and slams the door in his face

>>332344016
I can only think of a few oldscholl RPGs like Arcanum where it mostly affected your statsAlso WoW
>>332344418
Well they did invent golf
>>332344114Maybe.
>>332344513
Would be cool if there was a game series that revolved around orcs.
Hell, one for elves and dwarves would be cool too.
We got Styx so maybe there is hope something like it will happen.
>WOW
Ech.
>>332344478
That's probably because there are many good Lord of The Rings games.
Game of Thrones feels too edgy and "real" in some ways. Personally, I'm not a fan of anything that features sex and that level of violence all the time.
>>332332212
#Dwarflivesmatter
>>332294916
Been some good roguelikes and MUDs, m8
>>332344727
Well, elves and dwarves in fantasy are mostly used as positive characters with developed lore and characters, while orcs are just there to fill some rooms with loot holders, and have little to none backstory. Warcraft universe is good in this aspect

now that's a rare pepe
Once I installed LOTR Online and the launcher somehow deleted all my security permissions and ownership of all the files in the drive I installed it in.
I've since repaired the damage but to this day I've no idea how that happened.
Tedposting is great but Éowyn best
>>332295161
third age is a piece of shitit hurts
>>332326927
was this done by Tolkien? did he really have an actual layout for Moria in his head?
>>332300856
My favourite part about it was how you couldn't turn off the voice chat and it would echo if you went into a cave.
>>332345635
I can understand artistic nudity, but this is just dumb.
>>332345148
That is true, but I would like to see something different.
I'm sure NOT every orc in fiction is a bad guy.
I wish Blizzard didn't suck so they could make a neat action adventure game as an orc.
>>332345749
i would understand if she was like unrivaled in power like galadriel but she got her shit pushed in.
Being nude makes it weird.
>>332343000
They arent Rohan
>>332345635
>No man can kill me
>I am no man lol!!
Was this done better in the book? This came off very cheap in the movie.

if you're a LOTR fan, please listen to this
do yourself the favor.
>>332345867
just how high of a powerlevel does Galadriel have?
>>332345910
her monologue in the book is more flowery, but it's essentially the same declaration of
>fool, no man will kill me!
>but I'm a girl :^)
>>332345871
What is the house of Rohan but a thatched barn where brigands drink in the reek, and rats roll on the floor with the dogs?

Didn't Eowyn try to disguise herself as a man as best she could? It makes that picture look even dumber.

Was Melkor really wrong?
Seems to me that Eru was just being a dick by saying that no matter what Melkor did it would only be a part of his grander design and that he could never make anything that didn't first originate with himself.
>>332345867
>>332346087
Some people just need undressed women
>>332344727
Neverwinter games
>>332345397
>implying a game where you play as an orc gone rogue trying to escape both persecution by humans and other orcs hunting you down for being a traitor would be a bad thing
>>332294846
>mfw Telltale is in charge and makes a LOTR "game"
I'd rather die.
>>332346350
That's the thing about omnipotence, shitty narcissists will get rustled by it when you're just stating facts.

>>332346014
If she got the ring she would be unstoppable. What ever she wanted would be hers.
the people of lothlorien proclaimed her queen even though she totally wasnt.
I think the only way for Sauron to destroy lothlorien kingdom was if he had the ring as well.
She was able to fight Saurons spirit one on one and succeed while gandalf was utterly crushed.
>>332346087
Yeah she was a dude until the last second.
>>332343687
4chan just comes together so well at times when LOTR comes up
>>332346364
It's just so far out of place most of the time.
>>332345910
They have that exchange at the start of the fight, whereupon the Witch King gets a little nervous before he slaps her shit royally anyways. Merry saves the day in the same fashion and its implied that he's also the "not a Man" who got shit done. It's less Hollywood.
>>332337302
Lan, but the artist makes him look like a skinny fuck boy. At least Thom Merrill looks decent
>>332346235
Swap LotRo with Shadow of Mordor and put Shadow of Mordor in diarrhea dogshit tier then it is perfect
>>332346550
I thought that Balrogs were of a comparable height to men and elves
>>332346003
I didn't expect these feels.
>>332346484
It wont work that way because of the lore.
Sauron's voice dominates all evil creatures. Orcs are born from evil, melkor, saurons master. From birth their minds are enslaved.
Goblins on the other hand, maybe a goblin for substitution would be more realistic.
>>332346649
well than if she was so powerful than why didn't she do anything in the 1st age? the Noldor could have used the help
>game where you get to be Haradrim never ever
>>332346596
Melkor is like the biblical snake, except he also kills the tree.
If he really wanted to sing his own song he should have created his own universe.
>>332346847
Im not sure she was born.
>>332346913
didn't Aragorn make friends with them after the War of the Ring? After all, they really did very little wrong. Sauron enlisted them in his service by taking advantage of their desperation for water
>>332346969
she was around for the Trees, anon
>>332345238
Dunno about maps, but MUDs like MUME included Moria as an absolute nightmare of a dungeon to explore. Easily the best dungeon in any game I've played
>>332346969
She was but in the first age there were lots of people stronger than her.

can anyone summarize why the hobbit trilogy was bad?
i am but a mere film watcher and game player.
>>332346649
>I think the only way for Sauron to destroy lothlorien kingdom was if he had the ring as well.
That sounds wrong on a really simple basis
Didn't Elrond explain if all Middle Earth would fall, even Bombadil would lose.
That means Galadriel wouldnt last against Sauron's full army
>>332298201
I don't understand this feel, why is he feeling it in the shower

>>332347282

>>332347270
yeah your definitely right, Saurons legions were no joke
>>332347237
Read the book, no need to explain anything else
Ending with some Lúthien
>>332346661
Simple, LotR is one of the rare creations that is near perfection itself
>>332347556
Funfact, Beren is a common Turkish name
Tolkien had a few Turkic impressions for some characters i recall
was it even possible for Fingolfin to kill Morgoth, or was it a futile task from the start?
>>332346596
Yeah, but it makes sense to react the way he did and turn into an asshole. The whole thing started when he began to think private thoughts and then tried to sing his own song right? Then Eru just tells him that it's irrelevant.
Melkor might have reacted like an angry child, but practically anyone would in that situation.
>>332346235
the rp server I was on in lotro was great for the first few years.
Today gave me hope. The Lord of The Rings is truly something special. Again, today was much better than I thought it would be.
There is still hope for this board and website.
Thank you for existing, /v/.
