sry every1 if this has already been asked but ur froum pages are so long now.

Anyhoo, i was just wandering if there r gonna b any unique weapons and meshes. i.e. wud u c the shards of narsil if u went 2 rivendell, or cud u get 2 the troll hoard b4 Gandalf and get Glamdrings brother sword?

A phrase the devs like to use is 'If it existed then it will most likely be in'.
Yes there will be many new weapons, armours and so on and yes there wil be new meshes ^_^. As for Narsil it will most likely be there if it fits with the time line. But the trolls i'm not sure of because if you kill them first it would effect the time line, which isn't going to happen. I'm pretty sure you wont be able to get Glamdring itself because that would most certainly effect the time line. But if there was a brother sword (another one or something) you may or may be able to get it.

p.s. little bit of advice, you can get alot of questions answered by using the search function. Also in such threads as 'Daerk On'. Have fun.

You could steal the sword maybe, if you managed to get past the trolls without getting smashed.

[Icefiddell]

Yes i can see it now. I walk into Rivendel just to be chased out by Elrond in a space suit and holding a tazor. Now that is worth paying for!

[Slaiv]

How would Elrond get a taser?

[Icefiddell]

Comon he's a high profile guy i'm sure he's got a few tricks up his sleeves.

To lazy to do the research right now, but it might be possible to wield Glamdring, Orcrist, or similar weapons. Unless something has changed that I've missed, the mod is set before Bilbo finds the ring. We know that Thorin and company find Elven weapons in the Trolls hoard, but do we know how those weapons came to be in that hoard? As a player it might be possible to wield one of them centuries before Thorin, Gandalf etc. Seeing as we will not be more that "big fish in small ponds", it might be possible to use items of lesser power without attracting to much historical attention. And given the timeline boundaries we've been given, it would be quite possible to lose said items well before they occur(reoccur) in Tolkien canon. Of course if you find yourself wielding Orcrist in the late third age, you had better avoid Trolls at all costs

I think that it has been said before that it might be possible to wield certain items as long as it makes sense. By this, I mean that the item is a certain location, and it would be plausible for the player to find it.

Example of something you can't do: A hobbit finds Isildur's Bane on the ground, and puts it on. He then steals the shards of Narsil, and convinces the Elves to fix them. Then, he's running around with the One Ring and Anduril, and he manages to steal [insert important item here.] You get the point.

Example of something you can do: Sneak into an [insert location here], as long as you don't get caught, and you happen to find [insert semi-important sword here.] After playing with this until [insert event where it is required] is about to occur, you are ambushed by [insert people here] and the word is taken...

Then, throughout a course of events, the player loses that item/gets it taken form him, and put back into it's correct place in the timeline.

Something along those lines...

The above may or may not be true, it's just what I recall...

We will have unique items. If it does not effect the timeline or contradict anything then I see no reason why, if in the right place at the right time, you could not obtain it and weild it.
