uruk: To quote MonolithAndy

...and right now our plan is to absolutely launch the PC version on Steam.

Smannesman: Watched it a couple of hours ago, looks interesting.
Not particularly in line with what I remember of LoTR, but interesting.

Zurvan7: yeah rather see people do something unique en offer a new story in the LoTR setting than copy pasting the movies and the books without any inspiration. There is still not a good LoTR game imo, with nice RPG elements and an epic story. Then again the books are far more interesting I guess so no one can outdone them :p

Crosmando: Being a wraith (or being able to transform into one) is the stupidest most lore-breaking thing. Wraiths are essentially blind, they can only see in terms of shadows, they can't identify between say a person or a tree or any other object. That's how Frodo was able to hide from the Ringwraith behind that tree root without it being able actually see him, it only stuck around because it could faintly sense the ring.

The only thing Ringwraiths can see are spirits/shadows, and of course the Ringbearer if he puts the ring on and becomes invisible (like at Weathertop).

Wraiths are also powerless without their cloaks/horses, which is what binds them, and why they were "defeated" when they got washed away in the river flood called down by Elrond.

monkeydelarge: Then how come they are so feared? After reading your description, they sound harmless.
