Ending of the Game

[lamy18]

I do not know if you already thought at the end of the game, but I think it would be a great final three races to make a last stand against Sauron, or in Erebor, or Forest Haunting or Dale. It would be a resistance without any hope, that would finish with the enemy fled and the sun to emerge, as the ring bearer would have made its mission.

And What do you think?

I would like for the game to end around the siege of Erebor, this itself was a huge battle that stood on a knifes edge, only Saurons demise won the battle. The game could even carry on after the fall of Sauron and we could be placed along with Celeborn as he marched on Dol Guldur to finally rid the forest of evil.

I like that idea!

I hope not. If the game does in fact turn out to be the best LOTR game ever. I would rather like a sequel at some stage. Taking it to the end game would stop that. I do not mind if they defeat a great evil hoard in the North, but a little space before we start tossing rings at any Lava would be good IMO

I think a game should never assume there will be a sequel. I'd rather have a full fledged story and if they want to make a sequel, they could go into the period of The Hobbit (like The White Council was going to do) or just continue hunting down the final Orcs roaming through Middle-earth

By the same token a developer should never paint themselves into a corner where a sequel would be difficult to make worth while. I would not leke a sequel where i was tasked chasing after a few stray orcs.

They could do like in the movies, with Helms deep ending, where we knew it was not over but it did not seem as incomplete with a highpoint ending. While the way the fellowship film ended, felt like it was just cut at this point as we have used enough time in our 3 movie filming allows.

They should have a good plot and finish taking out a major enemy with a big battle, Just not the final battle.

I don't think "ending" it would bring them into a difficult situation to continue their story. They could have a new leader for the Orcs that are trying to reorganize themselves after Sauron's fall.
However, I do see your point about the "final battle". I think that's a bit too big for the player to be a decisive part in that. Mostly this game will probably be centered around Agandar/Agandaur, the Dark Numenorean, so we'll probably won't be dealing with Sauron himself at all :P

I've got to agree with you here as hunting down a couple of fleeing orcs around middle earth is'nt enough for a sequal. So as ElveHaldir said there could be an orc general that gathers an army all over middle earth such as the goblins in moria, the uruk - hai that fled from helms deep, the free roaming trolls and any other creatures you can think of...

I know it's very early to be talking about about a sequel as we have'nt even got a release date for the first game but at least snowblind now have ideas for the future lol.
