There are a lot of things inLord of the Ringsthat I straight don’t understand. I don’t get why Hobbits have werewolf feet or why the Nazgul forewent vision for mutant sniffing abilities. I’m sure it’s listed in some Tolkien tome, but I’m not reallythatinterested in seeking reasons behind this stuff.
I added something new to this growing list in the afternoon after catching developer Turbine’s second narrated trailer for the “Siege of Mirkwood”LOTROexpansion. It features some creepy underworld dude with a wicked helmet, talking about stuff related to the fiction. It’s got that great epic, fantasy feel, but I’m in the dark about the material the dude is referring to. He may as well be speakingelvish orgoblin or whatever.
Regardless, Mirkwood hits December 1st. Look out for it and feel free to decipher this thing for me.
