I'm usually not one to post anything non-TATW related but I felt this deserved a spot
A few months ago I recall a topic asking about a first/third person LoTR RPG game. And the only one I think that was mentioned was LoTRO... Well, someone brought this mod up. But everyone thought it was dead... Because the lead dev quit. Well guess what? It just got a new release 5 days ago. (10-31-2011)
And for those interested can check it out here (this is for version 1.011 of the game Mount and Blade WHICH IS NOT FREE the mod is free, NOT the game itself): http://www.moddb.com/mods/the-last-days
The reason I posted this is because I know there is a large LoTR community here and some at least might be interested to know about this (I was )
For my 2 cents, it's an outstanding mod. Of very high-quality. It certainly offers a large array of choices absent in many LoTR games such as a choice to pick from: Beornings to Dwarves - from Gondorians to Eastlerlings - from Mordor Uruks to Isengard Uruk-Hai - From Elves to Dunedain. And for those Tolkien enthusiasts out there it's based solely on the books. (e.g. Gondorians do not wear plate armor, etc.)
As I stated before, I'm not one to spam, but I posted this as I knew it had come up before and felt it deserved a post, if a moderator finds it un-fitting please lock/delete it

EDIT: The devs recommend using THIS version of M&B 1.011. It's basically 1.012 but it's called 1.011 Enhanced. NOTE: Requires a VALID CD-LEY to activate. You can download the whole game for free, but it's just a trial. YOU WILL NEED A VALID CD-KEY to activate. http://www.moddb.com/games/mount-bla...hanced-version
