Bilbo, oh Bilbo - What happens to you?

<< < (8/12) > >>

 Slawek56703 I could totally get behind this. In all honesty,  Gildor Inglorian ran off a nazgul, in this mod, I don't get the sense that Gildor could run off Pippin or Merry, which is a total downplay of his character.

I think Erestor or Lindir could be a good scout hero, the only problem I see with Erestor being a scout hero is that it downplays his role as a counselor in the books. But like you said and games workshop has done, the two daggers are important and he is a noldor.

So to conclude would say that Erestor is more of a scout hero than Gildor, but Lindir could fulfill this role as well. I am for whoever brings Gildor out of his non-canonical role.

--- Zitat von: dkbluewizard am 17. Dez 2016, 05:51 ---To Diewalkure, I like the idea of Erestor and Old Bilbo, being more Denethor like. But do we really need Old Bilbo in the first place? I mean he is good for upgrades and stuff on buildings, but that should be it.

--- Ende Zitat ---

Yes, that's in fact the role I would like him to be appointed. A definitely minor role, yet even a secondary role has a quite indicative and evocative meaning, since Bilbo is a too much relevant of a character to be left out in any way (in my opinion). I don't really mind details, as long as we see him again in the game. His model already exists and the Edain Team has already been provided with the proper sound set.

Regarding Erestor and Lindir, I think it should be better if Erestor only remained a stable hero of the faction. I don't despise Lindir at all, but the character is completely fictional and basically serves as a counterpart of Erestor in the Hobbit trilogy (Erestor's sounds in the game are exactly the lines of Lindir in AUJ). Certainly, a Denethor-like Erestor is to have his role a bit expanded indeed. I agree with you about that.

dkbluewizard:
Diewalkure. I am glad we are in agreement. So Old Bilbo for upgrades and Erestor to be more Denethor like. I agree with you, however, Lindir is from the book LOTR Fellowship of the Ring.

Don't believe me? http://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Lindir

Check that link to see. But I do agree Lindir isn't needed. I prefer a Erestor with Lindir quotes and cool abilities.

Walküre:
Yes, Erestor should be more Denethor-like, provided that his range of action remains well within the safe defences of the castle/camp (what about abilities that focus on the defence of buildings?). Or in another case, Erestor, as the librarian of Rivendell, could retain his role as building supporter, as long as his knowledge focuses 'only' on the upgrades of the Library and the ones of the Eregion Forge (that is, upgrades that relate to the lost arts of the Noldor). Bilbo could convey his energies into economic upgrades.

EDIT: Thank you for having clarified the presence of Lindir in the lore. I didn't know he was a canonical character from the books.

dkbluewizard:
Diewalkure, lore is my specialty. It is what I bring to the table.

Now what do we have to do on this discussion to get ET to notice our discussion and hopefully get our ideas implemented?
