These games feel like horrible fanfiction to be honest. Same for the hobbit movies really.
At least the gameplay is good.
[QUOTE=autodesknoob;51881774]yeah i mean a black guy in there? what the hell[/QUOTE]
Actually I think Tolkien was pretty blatant about it. What with men being tempted with satanism equivalent after awakening and only men of the west mentioned as repenting and fleeing. Then later easterlings are consistently depicted as on the side of evil and other details. Hell the people out of Far Harad, which would coincide with Africa, are called half trolls lol.
If the black guy is just casually a soldier of Gondor then it's complete bullshit (should be some adventurer in his own right). Next thing we would see black Numenoreans (not the group).

He's still a Maiar.
[QUOTE=SGTNAPALM;51884965]I'm a pretty big fan of LotR and my other friend is a HUGE fan of LotR (read The Silmarillion, is basically a walking Tolkien encyclopedia.) None of us particularly care that the lore isn't exact. As far as I can tell they treat it with enough respect to make it work, while understanding that these concessions need to be made for game design and artistic freedom reasons.
I can only speak for myself but I almost kinda rather they take their own liberties with lore for the sake of making an interesting game. It would be cool to have an epic final battle where you actually fight and defeat Sauron in my book, even if in the lore it wouldn't work at all.[/QUOTE]
I'm almost the opposite, I don't really like LotR that much, largely because of how little proper magic either inevitably corrupts or only used is sparingly by a handful of people, but at the same time I respect that that's it's thing.
