For those who don’t know (or forgot): Gandalf, befitting an immortal wizard, has lots of names. "Tharkûn" (Grey-man/Staff-man) is the one dwarves gave him. "Incánus" (theorised in Haradrim to mean "North-spy" or in Gondor, "Grey-haired") is what he is called down South. "Mithrandir," we all should know that one; "Grey Wanderer." And "Láthspell," though that one’s a bit unfortunate-it means something like "bearer of bad news"; Wormtongue called him that.

[@MacabreMonday]

Lathspell comes from old english. Keep in mind that Tolkien was not just a terrific writer, but a terrific scholar and a professor of philology as well. He not only worked on old english such as the tale of Beowulf, but on old Norse such as working with Elder and possibly younger futhark runes. He had a deep understanding of German and Anglo saxon languages. Whats more, Tolkien was in love with the Finnish national epic the Kalevala. So much so that he learned finnish just to read the book (because english is one of the worst to read/write prose, it just doesnt work for poetry.) Tolkien loved it so much that he directly lifted many elements from it. For example the eagles? Kalevala. Gandalf himself? Kalevala. Tom bombadil? Kalevala. The central god Illuvatar? Kalevala. So much scholars i see about Tolkien, but none of them know what the Kalevala is , much less read it. I consider myself lucky since i speak Hungarian, the brother language to Finnish and boy oh boy, reading it in my language is just pure bliss. Poetry ad nauseum. I've tried it in english but its so dull i put it down. You seem to be interested in middle earth so i would highly suggest you read the Kalevala. It will do your soul good. Just to give you a taste: Its an uber-epic tale about a very wise wizard called Vainamoinen who is born very old after being in his mothers womb for several centuries. Then he would go about shaping the world, the trees, the animals then he would get into a 'singing competition' (a battle of wits), go to different lands, battle a witch etc etc. It's really epic and beautiful.

Looks like a nice, relaxing game. I appreciate all the extra little things added to make the game feel more unique and interesting like paying respect to dead dwarf remains or singing for a buff.

Every time you mine through a wall you have to sing the dwarf digging song "Diggy Diggy Hole"

Nice 😅 good work so far 😂😂❤ keep going my friend

How tf is there a night underground and why would it matter?

[@AnGréagach94]

Feels like Valheim set in Middle-Earth, but i would like to see more base building and the creative limitations of this game if i am to form an honest opinion about this one. Great video btw! It would be a nice little touch if they released it on Durin's Day though!

[@TraceGametime]

Rock and Stone.

[@fylkinggaming1738]

Love your videos PR, keep them up!. EPIC release only I'm assuming

[@PartiallyRoyal]

Epic until Dec 4th I believe?

[@CosmicFloridian]

You are ON TOP OF IT!! I looked up this game to decide if I should download and play with my boyfriend who’s playing already since this morning. Everyone is streaming or it’s trailer stuff but you have it up already!

[@PartiallyRoyal]

We're quick

[@robertthompson6855]

You should looks like a really good game 🎮 😊❤

[@bonepicks9039]

Cool Video. It convinced me to get the game. Looking forward playing this with some Homies.

Hi Royal-san thank you play this game i love it i hope i can see more 😁😆👍

Plz do a series of this game I love watching your survival series and I love LoTR so that as a mix would be fantastic I’ve watched every episode of your other series so far

[@PartiallyRoyal]

Episode 2 is already recorded! Check back tomorrow.

[@joshnewbill2069]

I would say definitely move to the place you found at the end.

[@bbay1977]

I hope this game takes off here cause i would like to see more of it. I looked to see of I can buy it for my Xbox one but it is only for X and S only in the future. I hate having to upgrade my console for a new game and I'm thinking of building me a gaming rig. I looked to see if you posed your build anywhere to gibe me something to work towards, but couldn't find the specs anywhere. Do you give the specs of your build out? If so it would be a great help cause the ganes you play either are the games I love to play or already own. Thanks for any information.

[@carlhedebyiversen7230]

Really Looking forward to see if this is Worth Money

[@seangross5057]

Hey, how are you doing today? I have a question: Did you get a Multi player working. I'm on the PS5. It's not working for me.

[@OrphanHart]

Solid video. I enjoy the commentary. Happily subbing

[@joejong]

i can’t wait to jump in myself! looks like you can get lost for hours lootin and looking for new stuff which is my kind of game!

[@scottish785]

If you've played MP Mode does this have a tethering issue when playing with friends? I know Conan and Ark both force you to stay close to friends unless you get a dedicated server. Does this also have that or are friends able to roam as they want as tethering sort of ruins it for my friends and I as we all like doing different things.

[@RetroTintin]

Looks fun! Gonna check some reviews to make sure it isnt super shallow. If not, def gonna grab this!

[@XxShadow101xX]

Makes me sad that its an Epic exclusive :( I wanna be able to play with all my friends! I guess i'll wait another year :(

Just got back from a little personal trip and saw this in steam when I got home, had no idea it was coming or that it was a survival, I would absolutely appreciate a few more videos to see if it's something I should 'dig' into.

[@totallymojo]

It's only on Epic so you cannot see it in Steam.

looks cool. i had no idea they were even making this.

Very neat. Looks like a fun game to play after a long stressful day and just lose yourself for a bit.

[@SirPant-1]

Man, I remember when I first watched you back when Ark Survival Evolved was a beta. I had the Xbox 360 at the time and watching you play these amazing survival games brought me so much joy and I was so excited when I was able to play it for myself. Seeing you play all these survival games makes me happy since it seems all my friends have lost the passion for them. Would be killer to play a game with you someday! Keep up the amazing work and making these awesome videos! 🫶

[@kubek]

I rage quit the game at the beginning when I found my first camp, repaired it's equipment and after barely defeating 3 wolves, suddenly got flooded by an army of goblins and wolves too. Respawned, died, respawned, died, respawned, died.

[@funasylumstudio]

Just looking at the first 5 minutes it looks pretty good, looks like the game has a lot of potential

[@fantasywind3923]

Oh well.....I still wait for a proper open world single player RPG set in Middle-earth :). Why is it so hard to make such a game, proper rpg, with open world even in style of other such like Elder Scrolls or hell a sandbox in style of GTA/Red Dead Redemption heheh, or even a clone of say Dragon Age, Witcher 3, now THAT would be something, Witcher games are also adaptation of book series and quite faithful...but oh well....a survival crafting.

[@macio8036]

can't wait to play it

wow this planet is weird but ROCK AND STONE!! i guess

[@JamesAltoonaPA]

IS there an END Game to this or does it just keep updating like Rust?

[@stoog888]

Feel like they could have done more with this game, actually rebuilding the kingdom of moria and having the ability to set up production lines and ore processing lines with carts coming in from the depths woth ores to smelt and assigning npcs to run the coty while you out exploring, kitting out guards for raids and building siege weapons for defence etc.. atm all im seeing is a reskinned valheim

[@Castlebuildgames]

The singing dwarf sound female. Should the dwarf not have a deep male voice ?

[@fantasywind3923]

"And suddenly first one and then another began to sing as they played, deep-throated singing of the dwarves in the deep places of their ancient homes; ..." The Hobbit, so yeah the voices of the Dwarves would be deeper :).

[@AniwayaESP]

Im gonna wait to ps5 release im a bit fucked of having 300.000 different plataform of games. Im not a big fan of Epic Store

[@PartiallyRoyal]

Sounds like a plan!

[@CallMeKevan]

The idea is good but the gameplay looks to be severely lacking. Looks like a 10-15 year old game, combat is very basic, should have stuck with text only as the voice acting is amateur at best, the procedural generation is a poor choice in my opinion as the game does not look like it will have a lot of replay value and a carefully crafted Moria world would have been the better option, no music which is a very big part of anything LotR. A very basic game relying on the IP alone to generate interest. Very easy to see why they took the Epic Games exclusivity money. Would likely wind up at mostly positive review score at most though mixed would be more likely if they tried to sell on Steam.

[@ninablack2516]

I'd like to see more 🥔🥔

[@l_pin5930]

The character model seems a bit "rigid". No movbement of beard, hair or clothes, or hanging items, to say. Same for the torch, the flame flickers but it's the same set of shapes repeating.

I couldn't resist I love the movie's too much

[@dannykuang9433]

I had no expectations when I picked up this game, outside of knowing the general idea of the game from it's trailers and previews months ago. It's a 5/10 game for me, and I'm a big LOTR fan as well so it was very disappointing. It was nice Gimli was voiced by the actual actor though, but the game itself (graphics being sub par at best) the most important parts like crafting and combat is bad. Especially combat, hit boxes and animations are janky. Things like coal taking a whole stack of scrap wood, and generally not being able to repair anything right off the bat makes the game feel extremely tedious and honestly...a bit boring. Outside of just buying the game because you're a LOTR fan, as an actual survival game? Many games like Valheim, Apex, Rust, Sons of the Forest, etc do the combat, crafting, and progression 10x better. So if you want to play a subpar survival crafting game with friends just to role play as dwarves in LOTR universe? Go ahead, I refunded it after an hour of the nonsense.

[@theonefrancis696]

It's a nice game, desperately needs polishing.

[@Haplo-san]

Why dwarves sound like a teenager roleplaying? lmao.

[@partrich]

So many games are copying Valheim, that it's a good thing as well XD

"Dorf"

[@turtoolbowser]

The only thing I could concentrate on during this video was how you kept improperly saying dwarf... the w is not silent, so it's not pronounced dorf.

[@bothellkenmore]

What about "hurth"? Hearth is pronounced tke heart not earth.

[@NewYears1978]

Yay another Epic game I will not buy. Looks like it might be actually good?

[@vaclavsoukup7302]

Hmm, everything looks fairly OK, but that voice acting, especially of the main character. The VA sounds like she(?) focuses too much to sound vaguely Scottish and the rest of her lines is overly slow and stilted in return. Just my opinion on the thing.

[@edwardspray5930]
