SuddenJonatan:

Awsome!! Will play as "Mage"

Arctic Squirrel:

ehh.... still not so happy about the mage

but it looks good. I'm just going to keep to my elf though...

zach:

Well I don't like the mage but its really all context. I will learn to accept it like I did in LotRO cause I love my Runekeeper.

Mithrandir7:

I really hope they axe the mage. If they can't get it to fit right into the game, I know it will be the thing that ruins it for me. :(

zach:

Well they still have time but the classes are pretty generic so I dunno what they would replace it with really. We have a melee/ranged warrior type(dwarf) and the stealthy rouge/assassin type(elf). In general fantasy that pretty much leaves the mage type.

I would prefer a system more like Oblivion where you can be whatever you wanna be(just remove the magic skills and add some different ones).

I think that's what everyone was hoping for and, in a way, expecting - myself included.

zach:

Yea sadly it doesn't seem we will get that... Maybe we should just make our own game?

ElveHaldir:

To the Gamesmobile!

Where dreamgames are being made <3

Maybe we should revive that roleplaying game?

I was actually thinking about it because I need some practice with Mac programming. :P

Freek:

There are some fan projects that are pretty lore-accurate. Lord of the Rings, Fourth Age and Third Age Total War are great. And there's MERP which is still far from finished.

Because the perfect/ideal/logical Tolkien game is the stuff of dreams, exclusively.

Will look forward to Aragorn's Quest and Dance Dance Hobbiton though!

Hey, at least Dance Dance Hobbiton is accurate; Hobbits sure loved a boogie in their day.

It's a shame that I have no programming talent whatsoever, because I like to think most of us have a pretty good idea of what would make the perfect LOTR game.
