I don't remember this Hobbit at all. As for BB, have you seen him ? He is wandering around with a smile, and a flower on his jacket, apparently acting like he is on vacation somewhere fun. Reminds me the tourist in the Terry Pratchett book (the one with the luggage).Quote:

Actually, I looked closely at Bingo's face at one point with this week's latest quest. He wasn't smiling at all. He looked quite serious. Possibly not as nervous as he did in the Frogmoors, however.Quote:

Yep, this was exactly my problem and is why I've stopped trying to follow the Bingo quests. I felt like it became a job or a chore to try to stay leveled up enough each week, and that's not how I play LOTRO. Once you hop off the Bingo train, it isn't very easy to get back on. (yes, I know that they will still be there if and when I level up, but at that point they just start feeling like any other set of quests in a region).Quote:

That's why I caught up with my lvl 100 hobbit minstrel. She can stay his companion 'til the end and wont fall behind.Quote:

The only thing that threw me off about the current episode was the referral to sage "bushels". Now, I don't know about anyone else, but to me a bushel is a measurement, and a pretty large too, especially for an herb. Sage "bushes" maybe? :D
I enjoyed this weeks episode. I wasn't too crazy about the running around gathering part, but the end was pretty cool and added a bit to the towns past history. :)
I thought that was odd, too, but the reason didn't occur to me. I think you're right.Quote:

I still wish Bingo wasn't so passive - I guess perhaps writers are like that. But seems like to really write about it, he should be doing at least something himself. From my perspective, would be more interesting to have him alongside, perhaps even spot some of the objects to be collected first, etc. But, still enjoying this.
Really enjoyed this week's episode. I have been around a long time but I do not really play Alts - so it has been years since I have been in Mirkwood. For once, I did not mind all the running around! It brought back a ton of memories actually. And the story had a nice twist at the end. A very satisfying adventure this week. I cannot thank the LOTRO team enough for these amusing and satisfying weekly diversions.
It also made a nice joke of the quest titles: "First, Breakfast!" and then "Second Breakfast".
I do confess that I came up with those quest titles first and then made quests to fit them. Huzzah for the creative process! :DQuote:

Looking at this today and I am gob-smacked that it has already been 32 weeks. Unbelievable.
Doesn't beat the "You fancy the study of words, and study the fancy words." for the linguist title earlier.Quote:

This could the chance of introducing a new form of instance: duos! A duo landscape quest would work as well. Later on, 3, 6 and 12 men stuff.... what do the devs think?
Me too! It feels like it's going so quickly.Quote:
