Not as long as I know his terrible secret.Careful, he'll stone you with large D20's!
I've wanted this game since I first read about it. And after hearing about what Ashley has learned, I want it even more.
Mr Thou! Mr Thou!
I got my advanced copy from EA the other day, and this game is just... incredible. I absolutely love it. I posted my initial thoughts on the site www.the3rdage.com
and I'm now better equipped to answer any questions anyone has.
You got an advanced copy I envy you
Argh, I hate the stupid Dutch game production things here. They bring out GTA: San Andreas and Lord of the Rings: the Third Age on the same time.That really I hate. Although I need to be carefull with my money.

I want my advanced copy, dammit.Stupid EA...
Sounds like FFX to me.
I remember laughing the first time I heard about this game. I've never been particularly fond of RPG's that have not been made by Japanese people. The fact that it was a Lord of the Rings RPG made by EA, who have created the hack 'n' slash LotR games, only added to my laughter. However, after hearing about what it was going to offer, my laughter turned into awe. I loved the movies and the fact that this game will feature side stories compels me even more. I can't wait to get my hands on this game. I hear it has a combo system like in FFX-2. Is this true, Abominatrix? Because if it is, I will definitely buy this game.

I've yet to play X-2, so I dont know... do you mean combos between the characters? If so, I havent experienced it yet, but Im only 10 hours or so in. If you want, you can check out the forums on our site and ask our EA contact, we have a special thread for that.
There's a little detail I shared with Mandee last night, and I wanted to tell you all as well because I thought it was just awesome. Your party spends a lot of time just behind the Fellowship. Finding their campsites and such. Well in Moria, does everyone remember the scene where Merry (or Pippin, I forget) reaches out to touch that skeleton that's sitting on the edge of this well-like thing? The head breaks off and the entire body falls, and Gandalf yells at him for it. Well when I was in Moria, I was running down this hall and this skeleton falls right in front of me and I hear the echo of Gandalf yelling. It was awesome.
I'll try to explain the combo system. When one character attacks immediately after another character(like a split second to a second after the preceding character), a combo is formed and additional damage is added to the regular damage and the same goes for the next character and the next.

Ah, understood. No, there's nothing like that yet. I dont know if it'll appear later.. the game doesnt throw everything in at once, I think in an effort to help the LotR game fans that are used to the action games.
I reserved my copy at gamestop yesterday.

What's the replay value like? Is there a lot that you can unlock, or do differently each time you play?
Finding new plot twists, or new ways to do things every time is one the good aspects of the FF series. Does TTA do this as well?
I cant really say that too concretely, not until I beat the game, but from my impressions now, it seems to have some decent replayability. Maybe not something you can do over and over, but it shouldnt be a one shot game. There's the Play as Evil deal, where you choose an area and fight as a few different enemy sets (including Moria's Balrog) and spend time anhilating your usual party.
I dont think there will be a whole lot of plot twists except for in character development, considering we all know the story pretty well by now. But there's already some interesting things going on within the party, so that should prove to have some neat twists.
