[@Blaze_1961]

Goblins don't only attack at night they patrol all over in small groups. Sieges at your camp only trigger randomly when you are at a camp and any goblins that aren't killed during the siege will still hang around afterwards. Once you craft an oven you can carry cooked meals. Yes the game has a few QOL issues but nothing is game breaking at least in my play through so far. Combat is basic but still challenging, dwarves mine go figure. Building rotation is my biggest complaint otherwise I am enjoying it very much. I played LOTRO for quite a long time and I don't mind the grind to get better gear.

"I played LOTRO for quite a long time and I don't mind the grind to get better gear." that says it all, you'll literally let someone urinate in your mouth and still give them the benefit of the doubt that they just thought you were thirsty lol, when that mini expac was coming out before the shadow or w.e they somehow, without touching ANYTHING IN BREE, put a GIANT mountain RANGE(not a single rock) in the middle of the bree>w.e zone was north of it travel path... so if you unknowingly took it or were a new player and HAD to, you got stuck running into a wall until you logged out.... they left it like that for MONTHS and the brain dead garbage loving community LOVED it and made it into a meme that was spouted every 5 minutes in world chat and the forums to the point... ***THE DEVS MEMORIALIZED THAT COLOSSOSAL F UP WITH A LITERAL STONE MEMORIAL AT THE SITE WHEN THEY FINALLY FIXED IT... MONTHS LATER***. That is the kind of thing EVERY other MMO would literally pull down servers to fix... LOTRO team left it for months and MEMORIALIZED their incompetence because they thought it was funny. OHHH but let me not forget to mention during that same period they had, if i remember corretly, 3 separate $100-200 bundles containing ingame currney, reskinned mount, and stat-less gear that PURELY was cosmetic..... yeahhhhh LOTRO players have horrible judgement. -.-

"new lower price" so they either 1) knew they had a crap product at launch and wanted to skeev people out of more money than they knew the product was worth, 2) they knew their product was crap so they finally lowered the price and are now trying to fix it to be worth the lowered price >.

I would love an AC Valhalla type game set in Middle Earth

[@fantasywind3923]

THAT would be amazing! :) I mean one could do it wonderfully in the setting of.....northern Rhovanion :) there are rivers there which connect all major points, Forest River, Celduin, Long Lake (and Lake-town Esgaroth), Carnen river and so on (also the Enchanted River could be some sort of border or to have it lore friendly it's water having the effect of putting to sleep and enchantment of forgetfulness so for instance submerging in water would cause your character to fall asleep and if not drown then crawl up to shore and lie down asleep and also have some debuffs to the character stats :)) one could sail down even as far as Sea of Rhun, and reach Dorwinion the land on it's shores...it could be great fun :). The AC Valhalla style raids would be possible and the Northmen of Rhovanion (Lake-men and Men of Dale/Bardings) are pretty much Norse-like culture anyway :) and in book we hear of the old history: "They still throve on the trade that came up the great river from the South and was carted past the falls to their town; but in the great days of old, when Dale in the North was rich and prosperous, they had been wealthy and powerful, and there had been fleets of boats on the waters, and some were filled with gold and some with warriors in armour, and there had been wars and deeds which were now only a legend. The rotting piles of a greater town could still be seen along the shores when the waters sank in a drought." The Hobbit This could be a great idea! :) And speaking of Assassin's Creed style games, with Shadow of Mordor/War already using this model (mixed a bit with Arkham) though these two games were VERY lore breaking and as far away from canon as possible....seriously lore butchery, but with such rich world from book series one needs approach of more faithful adaptation...still an Assassin's Creed style game, like say a Lotr version of AC Black Flag mixed with Odyssey and Origins for making it even better would be amazing, vast open world and sailing in great numenorean ships like in Black Flag, naval combat (of course wihtout firearms but it can still be done well like combination of the design of ships of more advanced with the Odyssey naval tactics) sailing exploring the Great Sea Belegaer and the shores and isles of Middle-earth, sailing up river Anduin the Great River (like Nile in Origins) having whole kingdom of Gondor also to explore with Rohan and other lands as well (maybe even lands to the south like Harondor, Near Harad up till the great port city of Umbar!!!!) hell one could even use actual lore and have Aragorn as protagonist of such a game! "Thorongil often counselled Ecthelion that the strength of the rebels in Umbar was a great peril to Gondor, and a threat to the fiefs of the south that would prove deadly, if Sauron moved to open war. At last he got leave of the Steward and gathered a small fleet, and he came to Umbar unlooked-for by night, and there burned a great part of the ships of the Corsairs. He himself overthrew the Captain of the Haven in battle upon the quays, and then he withdrew his fleet with small loss. But when they came back to Pelargir, to men's grief and wonder, he would not return to Minas Tirith, where great honour awaited him. He sent a message of farewell to Ecthelion, saying: "Other tasks now call me, lord, and much time and many perils must pass, ere I come again to Gondor, if that be my fate." Though none could guess what those tasks might be, nor what summons he had received, it was known whither he went. For he took boat and crossed over Anduin, and there he said farewell to his companions and went on alone; and when he was last seen his face was towards the Mountains of Shadow." Aragorn as Thorongil commanding ships and having sea battles with ships of Corsairs of Umbar and the story milestone being this famous surprise attack raid on Umbar and then also allowing him to explore other lands "far countries of Rhun and Harad where the stars are strange". "He rode in the host of the Rohirrim, and fought for the Lord of Gondor by land and by sea; and then in the hour of victory he passed out of the knowledge of Men of the West, and went alone far into the East and deep into the South, exploring the hearts of Men, both evil and good, and uncovering the plots and devices of the servants of Sauron." The possibilties are endless! :)

(I've got over 200 hours in, almost exclusively in Sandbox) 1) Campaign / "Story_Mode" =/= Sandbox. The latter is more confusing (More on this in a moment), even the recipes are different. Campaign has lots of hand holding, and imo, is baby town frolics compared to Sandbox. 2) The world is HUGE. Not just horizontally, but vertically as well. (More on this in a moment) 2a) The world is INCREDIBLE visually. 3) The world is EMPTY. There are pockets of Orcs, Goblins, Worgs, (no Dwarves, more on this in a moment), but by and large it's an empty city. 4) While technically not "linear", there is clear progression, and you will encounter roadblocks at every step of the way (Weapons not good enough, Pickaxe not good enough, Hammer not good enough, Armor is quasi - ornamental at best (Don't get me started on repairs) 5) The premise / story makes no sense. Your group (lead by Gimli) is trying to break into Moria (The main door has "Shadow Magic" preventing entrance). You (The player) get caught in a landslide / demolition gone wrong and find yourself alone in Moria. 5a) In Campaign, your goal is to escape. In Sandbox, well, play as you want. Be forewarned, there is no follow-on party, no search-and-rescue party. Did you guys forget about me? The goal was to get into Moria. Mission accomplished. Are you telling me a group of Dwarves couldn't mine their way through loose rock? (At a minimum, once a floor is cleared, Dwarves could show up - but no) 6) The "Map" is by God awful. There are colors on the map (The Devs changed the map sometime before the Steam release). What do the colors mean? Don't know. There is verticality on a single floor. An "entrance" to another area could technically be on your level, but fathoms above or below. 7) Combat is no Elden Ring. Want to be a combat GOD in LotR_RtM? Follow this strategy: i) Block, ii) Swing, iii) Swing, iv) Go_to_i. 8) Targeting is very hit-or-miss. You will experience frustration as you try to mine, only finding you're doing nothing. 9) The soundtrack is great. No complaints. 10) Is it worth $20? IMO yes. But realize this is an early access game (despite what the Devs say), with a lot of frustrations. If you like Dwarves or Tolkien, then I'd say it's worth the $20.

Mack, it isn't a dwarf, it is a little person, geez, you are soooo last century...... :P

I actually had a lot of fun, just beat it today.

Same. I think the game is fantastic. Interesting story, great music, great environment. Great voice acting. Sure, combat is very simple. But it doesn't need to be complicated and intriguing every time. but the game is extremely fun with a bunch of friends.

I like the game a lot too
