Finally getting my main through Far Anorien and Old Anorien over the Christmas break (and getting my Imbued weapons up to an impressive level), and had a day off work yesterday. Thought I'd get a couple of quests in the Beacon Hills caught up. Got through Minas Tirith previously and kind of got sucked in and moved the Epic story all the way to Pelennor.
WOW
I'm the guy that more often than not doesn't even read the quest text, so I was surprised at my emotional reaction to the Pelennor field battle. Stepping onto that field with the Riders of Rohan I was struck by how well the devs managed to give it the appearance of a full-blown medieval battle. I've played actual wargames that had none of the spectacle here. The cut scenes were excellent and when the king rode down the lines proclaiming it a "Red Day" I actually had a lump in my throat and goosebumps.Epic indeed - one of my favourite LOTRO experiences in nine years of being on Landroval.
The people who put this together - the epic scale, the scripting, fitting my character into the overall scope of the battle - did a great job, so thanks.
