Scenes from Middle Earth

[Whoopingstick]

Oooo....Look at those DX 10 shadows!


It's good to be the king



The Dwarven city of Gondamon


View from Dead Man's Perch.

Beautiful. On occasion I've gotten tired of playing the game... but never of looking at it . Hopping on a horse and just taking in the views all over Middle-earth is a sure-fire blues cure.

Not only did I get the Ridge-Racer title, I got a great view of High Hollin


BG from a safe distance

Thread proves what I think almost all the time....

You might whine about end game content, bugs, class "fixes", crafting, etc... but if you would just take the time and close your mouth and look around at the world you are running around in you will notice the effort and time put into making what you are taking the time and playing...

By the way if you ever think Turbine isn't doing their job, doesn't care, or doesn't take the time to do anything... stop and look at a Hare or Fox... and then look at the shadow on the ground as they move. If a company or developer can take the time to go down to that level they can take the time to do things on a grander scale.

I just like the particle effects.

LOL...it is a tough life, but someone has to do it.

I agree that despite the plethera of problems Turbine has with this game as people (including myself) have stated in the game, it is one of the best I have seen in the way of graphics and detail. I just noticed the other night that you can actually see the reflection of the star in the water outside. I had noticed the landscape reflections before but not the stars. So yeah, if you just take a few moments to look around then you will find that what Turbine has made of the scenery in middle earth is quite beautiful.

Bag End is a pretty large building....by hobbit standards anyway.

Orion, the mightiest of hunters.



Another view friom the Water Works

[Whoopingstick]

Just relaxing with the locals.



Real men sew.



Hobbits really do live in the most peaceful of places.

[Whoopingstick]

I like the textured look of the mountain. This is above Moria.



The writing is on the walls.



Galadriel's Garden

Excellent work everyone, I love to see everyone's point of view of the game......And I can usually name exactly where each one is taken but this one befuddles me.......can I get a little help on this one's location?

[Chris_of_Duke]

that looks liek either The School in Eregion.. if I remember it's got that large shallow pool in the middle of the room when you first enter..

[Whoopingstick]

The Old Forest from the Brandy Hills



Another shot of Rivendel



There are lots of dead fish around here

[Maeshani]

get that tutor title and you might guess where it is

These pictures don't do the game justice. You actually have to be there to fully appreciate the beauty of this game. It's so breathtaking and I spend hours upon hours of just taking landscapes of this game. I wish i could put more than 4 pictures in per post since I have many more that are also very beautiful beyond description. I daresay I have a couple better than these or at the same level of beauty but these are some taken within the last month. Video Card: Powercolor ATi Radeon X1600 PRO PCI-E. Pretty much all graphics settings are at their highest. I don't have any Anti-Aliasing on these photos but I think I'll start turning it on for just taking pics. Ingame resolution is 1680x1024 but when I posted those from Imageshack just now they were just too large for the page so these are in 1024x768 due to PhotoBucket's downsizing.

How did that chicken get up there? LOL...another strange sight.

[Whoopingstick]

That's me in the tent



A shot of the peaceful village of Budgeford



A red sky in the morning means bloodshed the night before. What does a purple sky at night mean?
