Intricate history
Another natural question new players have is whether this game tells new stories rather than simply repeating the ones we know from The Lord of the Rings. And the answer to that question is “yes”.
The Lord of the Rings Online tells new stories involving new characters as a fun new way to explore the lore and places of this world. However, The Lord of the Rings the narrative is happening in the background and your research intersects with it.
Some players may find this emphasis on familiar characters and their stories to be a turning point. However, let’s face the facts: many players would eventually wonder if a Lord of the Rings game without characters like Gandalf and Aragorn was actually a LOTR game.
To the credit of the developers, I never felt like Frodo’s Fellowship was overwhelming my adventures, and playing a part in their journey has always been fun and engaging.
Familiar faces
We mentioned some of the familiar faces above, but let’s write it even more clearly: if you’ve ever seen a character in a Lord of the Rings book or movie, then you will see them in this game.
In the wrong hands, this could have been damage. He may have made players feel like their characters didn’t matter or that their own adventure was on track.
However, the saving grace of this game is that it includes minor characters and storylines, in addition to the main ones. Instead of feeling like we’re only seeing the same old characters, it’s nice to meet people who are referred to once in the novels.
The final effect is that players feel the comfort of the familiar while always feeling like there is something (and someone) new to discover.
