Thought for the day.
lotro, melmoth, tftd October 23rd, 2010
I’ve just finished reading The Hobbit to mini-Melmoth. If there’s one thing in the book that I would like to see in a future Lord of the Rings Online expansion, it would have to be Beorn. Not the beardy man-bear himself, but the race of Beorn, as is mentioned towards the end of the book.
I’m a sucker for shape-shifters, and the lore is all right there, ripe for inclusion. Come on Turbine, playable Beorns in your next major expansion.
You know you want to.
Or you know I want you to, at least.

Crikey, with the way The Hobbit movies keep getting delayed, that’ll be somewhere around 2045 in Europe then.

If it were 6 months ago, I would say it would never happen: Turbine only had rights to LOTR, not including Hobbit. BUT, WB does have the rights to the Hobbit, from what I gather, so it is a possibility now!

Hoom, good point, the shape-shifters certainly didn’t ‘represent’ in Lord of the Rings. One might consider those bears to be quite busta, what what.
