Not lore accurate

[❤Kali-mari Ðes Earth™❤]

I saw a lot of issues in the trailer.

If you are complaining about black Hobbits, shove it. Even Tolkien wasn't a purest...

It's funny how you got insta-triggered about blacks, even though he didn't mention it.

Are you refering to ACTUAL lore (ie: the Lord of the Rings book prologue), or the stuff from the movies?

Seems my post attracted a lot of bots but in the trailer there were quite a lot of elements not found in the lore regarding the shire and the hobbits. So its clear the devs decided to do their their own thing with the IP because they wanted to or were pressured into it.

Can you cite what you think that isn't lore accurate?

Many of the decorations shown have absolutely no business in the Shire. They have nothing to do with Hobbit customs.
EDIT: same goes for the modern colored clothing. There was no hot pink in the Shire.

Hobbits are not described as having to waddle when they walk. What were the devs thinking? They look like toddlers learning to walk. Embarassing choice.

Golden blonde hobbits should nearly not exist. It was incredibly rare, and Elanor Gamgee was one of the only Golden Blonde hobbits. This is because of Galadriels gift to Sam.

Stone raised garden beds are not lore accurate as hobbits did not make constructions from stone or metal. They burrowed or made wooden structures. Very rich or very poor hobbits lived in Holes.

Hobbits, and their ducks, would not wear iron helms. As the Gaffer says, "I don’t hold with wearing ironmongery."

Hollyhock is shown growing indoors. This is an outdoor perenial plant and cannot survive indoors. All hobbits know this.

I could keep going with the poor design of this game just from the 2 minute preview, but you dont actually care. Youre gonna play this pile of insults anyways.

Only Rings of Power fans would like this game.

If you know the lore or even just watched the trilogy you would know whats wrong. I don't need to provide anything.

Yup, go ahead and pretend you didnt see the big list of lore inconsistencies I provided so that you can pretend you are right.

You mean a list of visual nickpits (some of which, like the colours and walk, being nothing but artistic choices) that have no actual impact on Hobbit lore?

It reaches the point of absurdism by the fact that this ignores the biggest visual change in lore when it comes to Hobbits: their big feet, which are never mentioned in Tolkien's descriptions of the Hobbit nor are represented in the different paintings Tolkien did of Bilbo (which is represented with normal-sized feet).

But because other adaptaion gives them big feet, that for some reason is okay while smaller nickpicks aren't...

[IrieHeights]

There are no descriptions of the feet other than furry, which leaves room for interpretation. The desicion is often an extrapolation of Tolkiens description of Odo Proudfoots exceptionally large and furry feet. It actually has basis in the lore, though it is not explicitly stated one way or another.

The other things ARE described, and ARE direct contradictions to the lore as written by Tolkien.

Plain and simple.

Love how you speak about if their feet are hairy or not. And not if their feet are big or not. Which is the point of contention that Tolkien's itself denies that is the case with his own art. Being a later addition by future adaptations.

And. Again. The "described" ones are nothiong but nickpicks of little importance compared to the physsical apperance of Hobbits.

Blonde Hobbits exist (they are simply uncommon), Stone is actually use in Hobbit architecture (most notably the mill in Hobbiton) and Tolkien represented it in his art, and the alking animation and colour are nothing but artistic choices. The same way that Tolkien decided to represent Hobbits as an ideal 19th Century rural England in the Middle of a Medieval setting.
