Gondor Rangers

No idea why the video is so dark, also the Goblins still need to be scaled down.

Aragorn In-Game

Still need to increase the amount of exp for a level.

I'm really not a fan of seeing Aragorn fighting melee with a bow in his hand.

[Maximan]

It's what he did back then man, I'll remove it if it's requested by a lot of people, and make him more like the Amon Hen cutscene Aragorn.

Looking good. You can always make him put the bow on his back like Faramir does when it bothers many. Out of interest, where can we see how he fought in E3? I can't remember it being in one of these trailers.

Here

4:26 you can see Aragorn and Boromir are infront of the troops with Gandalf.

[Echo]

I have a hard time spotting his bow there.

[Maximan]

Because he doesn't have it there, they didn't switch his animations out from then.

Ah ok. Well in this case you could always provide a "switch weapon" animation where he puts the bow on his back when using a sword. I don't mind either, bow and sword in his hand doesn't really bother me.

[Maximan]

Doesn't bother me neither, I did create animations for the switching, doesn't work in combat for some reason lol.

[Mathijs]

In this case, I think you could stand to be a little more critical of which parts of the beta you recreate and which ones you leave out. Some items in the beta are obviously unfinished placeholders... Aragorn running around with his bow always in hand being one of them.

 

I guess it's a matter of what you're trying to do with your mod; go 'back in time' to present a snapshot of a beta build, or restore features from the beta that you think are cool. If it's the former, yeah, have Aragorn charge orcs at the Black Gate with a bow in one hand and a giant sword in the other - if it's the latter, realize that the Aragorn you saw in that beta footage was thoroughly unfinished and just using Ranger melee animations.

For Gondor and Mordor, I tried to get them as close to the Demo, and some of the Inside the Battle videos as possible. For Aragorn I wanted either the Inside the Battle #4 or the trailer style, since I noticed people wanted him with a bow, I went for the state where he had the bow. The reason I chose the picture of him at the Black Gate, was to show which state of Aragorn I tried to create, so people could compare it. Since I have always been working on both, incase this would happen.

 

As I stated above if my assumption of people wanting Aragorn with a bow was wrong, or if people don't seem to like the bow in hand fighting style, then I will remove it, and go back to the Inside The Battle #4 Aragorn.

 

 

The way I wanted to take my mod, wasn't just to recreate the DEMO itself, it expands from trailers to inside the battle videos to the demo itself.

Sure, people have always clamored for mods to give Aragorn a bow, but I don't think they literally meant giving Aragorn a sword in one hand and a bow in the other. Just have him toggle like Faramir.

[Maximan]

I'll give it a shot

Legolas' Monster Slayer Ability

Spoiler

This is what you can expect Legolas to do in-game when you use Monster Slayer on a troll with a club.

 

If I get the code working.

[Ganon]

You made the animation for that?

[Maximan]

Yeah man

[Nazgûl]

Holy smokes... that looks truly professional.

[Ganon]

Yes it does.

[Maximan]

Thanks guys
