its whats jarring about comparing the rp communities of other games to wow. i can speak from experience how diffrent it is. wow we have it good in that you can find walkup rp in some places at nearly all hours of the day.
inother games, gw2 in my case, all rp was curated to a specific time of day or location depending on the day of the week and coming to that from wow didnt feel great. but it was the standard norm. smaller communities and all that
That was what sold me. From the colorful trees and flowers of Celondim to the melancholic snowy hills of Thorinâs Gate, Ered Luin is simply gorgeous.
Making a beardless or atleast smaller bearded dwarf would be great. I do think their intent was that dwarves in Lotro are just both genders due to the beard stuff & only they can tell eachother apart.
i hold out hope for dark skinned elves but less so for female dwarves unless they dont mind doing a new model.
on the notion of dwarves from that era of games I always wished the dwarves of guild wars were playable. they were fascinating to me in the original game. alas they had to go extinct and only have 2 actual music tracks attached to them
wasnt there a dwarf race added that were enslaved in mordor that compared to the base game dwarves did have the option of female but the model was still the exact same? or am i imagining things
This is one of the rare cases where I blame an adaptation for being too close to the text. Sure, Tolkien can write this in a book, but it just wonât scan for a mass market visual medium.
But then, LOTRO was developed before the broad consensus on depicting dwarf women in visual media developed.
Considering how early it began development and how Tolkien book purists can be, Iâm happy that we even got the option to play martial and warrior classes as women with no problem whatsoever. It really do be that simple!
It is also deeply refreshing to have an MMO where female armor is not just string bikinis and boob-plate. Especially for the time it was made in.
