They were made up?

[Uruk King]

Seems so. There is nothing about a Hildigais or an Einar in Tolkiens works. Still if the team are willing enough to invent a character for a particular faction, then they can do the same with others.

Looks like Bard did a good job, you guys never noticed.

[Lauri]

I did.... Einar's scandinavic, or sounds that atleast, so I thought it was invented

Hildigais I've never heard about even in the mod

[zetruz]

Well, you can be named Einar in Sweden (although it is a fairly ugly name... ugh) - and since Tolkien thought alot of the Scandinavic mythologies when he wrote the books, it shouldn't be impossible someone in the books could be named that.



Although there wasnt.

Einar's scandinavic

Is that anything like scandinavian?

[Lauri]

haradric, rhunic, rohirric, gondoric (okay, so gondoric is way off )

just sounds cool

besides, Einar's scandinavian, or sounds that atleast, so I thought it was invented
I was only talking about the name, not the man

I suck at knowing most of Tolkien's work, so any name you throw at me, i will accept *points to Celeglin confusing me with his hero named Celeglin in TEA*

and Olorin, EA did call King Dain the king of Erebor in BFME2, you just must have not paid attention

[Uruk King]

Talking on the subject of the Dwarven heroes in the RA mod, I hope these ones are more unique and better than the BFME II ones, I'm looking forward to playing with them.

I should've been able to tell, after seeing what you did with Lauri's The 4th Age mod. Amazing by the way.

My Tolkien lore of the North is a bit shabby; I've only read the Silmarillion, The Hobbit and the Trilogy. I've been meaning to read the others for a while...and yeah, I got confused about "Celeglin" as well.

Tell me about it. I mean in BFME II Gloin had a great hammer not an axe nor a sword. And he was Ginger!!!! LOL. I've been wondering what sort of abilities and palantir powers that the Dwarves get.

[Olorin]

Something relating to the mines or the mountains. They would have quite a bit of leadership I reckon, plus a few summoning and destructive abilities. I actually didn't mind that "Earthquake" power that Gloin got in B4ME II, even though it ain't physically possible whatsoever, and the fact that it didn't make sense with Tolkien.

[Uruk King]

Hopefully the dwarven heroes won't have such farfetched powers, despite their ownage in battle.

[Lauri]

and the fact that it didn't make sense with Tolkien.

you don't have to say that, as nothing in BFME2 is

anyways, Matias is a very good writer

[Olorin]

You're right, I shouldn't have said that it didn't make sense.

[adummy]

i doubt RA wants everyone to look like Gimli
on a side note, happy birthday King Earnur who's birthday is today (at least for one more hour). see someone remembers/finds out

[Olorin]

You didn't remember mine. Happy birthday King Earnur! And of course the team isn't going to make every dwarf look like Gimli, that'll just destroy all the work they've done.

[King Earnur]

Thanks guys but I didn't think my birthday was on there

[Canterbury]

Happy Birthday by my clock its still. While were still on dwarven skills, what was the exact name of Dain's Leadership on BFME2?
