Thread: My immersion is broken.

I recently saw a little spring-haired hobbit massacre three vicious wargs, a berserking orc reaver and a terrifying uruk-hai archer all at once. The beasts had launched a coordinated ambush on the defenseless-looking halfling, only to be promptly butchered.

Turbine, this sort of thing is clearly out of character for a Tolkien hobbit and ruined my immersion in the game. Please fix.

That's the kind of thing you have to live with in games like this. It's unfair to stop hobbit chars from fighting just because of Lore. You wouldnt see a whole lot of Elves or men Hurling fire, or such things.

Agreed. Give all existing hobbits -650 to all stats. And outlaw further creations.

Signed,

Signed! Can we add elves to that list, too?

Hobbits should only be allowed to bake me goodies. The better I like their pie the more exp they get.

I'd like a good hobbit back rub every once in a while.

Gut *Happy ending? Don't mind if I do...* Out!

Thats a really cute emoticon.

Also, I can support this motion if all existing elves get the title "the drop-dead gorgeous."

a> I'm assuming you're talking about a PC hobbit...not an npc...if it's an npc then fail fail fail.
b> I'm assuming these weren't the highest ranked wargs/reaver/ba in the game either, if these creeps were R9s then it's all on them for being terrible, not the hobbit.

SO...

We're talking about a "Hobbit" that has likely fought and defeated a Balrog, a ringwraith, and several senior minions of Isenguard. Not to mention countless other foes, including but not limited to THOUSANDS of wargs, THOUSANDS of orcs, and at least hundreds of Uruks.

We're talking about an epic hero of legend. This is the game Freeps play. It's paid for in hundreds if not thousands of play hours to even step foot in the Ettenmoors.

The Creeps in question were likely only weeks or a few short months old.

I see nothing wrong from an immersion perspective.

I do think it's probably a corner case, and not exactly likely to happen very often or by very many freep classes/builds. And development should certainly move AWAY from those extreme cases...\

Did the first one to drop release and get back to the fight immediately? Just wondering.

/shrug

I used to be a monster player like you, then I took a hobbit to the knee.

Also out of character for a Tolkien hobbit. Thank you for pointing out this flaw as well; good work. Immersion remains ruined. Needs a fix please Turbine!

I support this title along with this addition...

The Drop Dead Gorgeous, Stands Really Funny Halrenthir.
