I can't believe that no one has mentioned the fact that one of the first quests in the man area is to gather Athelas to help heal the ranger's wounds. THAT's straight out of the book.

I confirmed this on Landroval yesterday and sent it in as a bug report.Quote:

It's nice to see this bug has been Rhidden into the ground.
I'll throw out a behind-the-scenes lore-bit.
Rhidden is one of the Lore-trinity here. While in QA, he also caught a real doozy of an error in our original loader splash screen. Someone had gotten the brilliant idea that the runes on the Witch-king's helm would look better symmetrical, so they mirrored one side of the helm to the other.
Little did they understand that the runes were not just random markings for looks. It actually says something very lore-important. I wonder if I should tell y'all, or make someone out there dig it up?

Maybe not a hidden nugget, but I think it's funny how in Thorin's Hall, they have Labourers mining while they are asleep, with the "Z"s floating above their heads.
You know they're working hard when they're doing it in their sleep. :0)

I think that Glorfindel actually grants 5 'person' hope, while Rivendell itself grants another 5 for 'place' hope.
Also, I think Pippin grants 5 hope as well.

From what Berephon was saying, I was imagining that perhaps he gave 10 hope, but that the cap is also 10. It's all kind of moot unless we see Glorfindel outside of Imladris sometime, or can generate some sort of dread near him. It does give me the 'warm and fuzzy lore-feeling' thinking that he gives the most hope in the game though.

I think the biggest lore-break I've found so far is the moon being full every single night. :p Berephon should've been all over that one.
Maybe the devs are a bunch of Luna-tics. :)Quote:
