  • I’d say it is, because while it’s a slow burn the buildup leads to some pretty epic payoffs.

    And the game will not only take you through each story in sequence so you don’t have to worry about spoilers, it will lock you out of progressing class quests (if they have spoilers, and the later ones often have at least a few) until you’ve played the relevant story parts. So it’s extra-anti-spoiler.






  • Mel Brooks once pointed out that dictators hate to be laughed at. And he would know, given he fought the Nazis in WWII.

    So laugh. Mock them. Humiliate them. Their overinflated egos can’t handle even the slightest scratch, so short of shooting them this is going to be the best way to hurt them.






  • What was interesting to me reading the books is how Pippin is basically the Hobbit version of a young Boromir or Faramir (I mean, physically they’re roughly the same age, but in Hobbit terms Pippin was considered to just have barely left childhood), but he grew up in a land of peace and plenty.

    I wonder if Tolkien was using him and his family as a contrast to Denthor’s family, which is why it’s Pippin who goes to Gondor. The Thrain was even one of the leaders of the Hobbit resistance against Saruman, for further parallels.
