Thread-worthy, probably.

Hopefully a better game than the first, with a combat system that actually works for once. Some nice ideas behind it, but ultimately an incredibly grindy game set against a lot of brown back drops where the games main selling point, the nemesis system, doesn't actually work if you can play the game.

Serious question tho! Are these games Canon?

Dont know if serious but no. Nothing new will ever be canon in lord of the rings.

Not sure if it has been mentioned, but this was announced as a Play Anywhere titles and Scorpio was mentioned.

Announced in Feb, out in August, this is what I like. Please don't get delayed!

I loved the first game, I am a LoTR nerd and anything in that world interests me. Plus I was really into the nemesis system. Since the first game came out, people here seemed to sour on it, but I still really like it and look forward to the next one.

It could be if approved by the Tolkien estate, though I can't imagine Christopher Tolkien agreeing to anything. Iirc he didn't even like the movies.

You are correct. C. Tolkien disapproved of the movies. Then again, the Tolkien Estate are notoriously hard to please.
