It also seems possible that the nazgul were using their powers to cloud the perceptions of the weak-minded so as not to create too much alarm. Canonically, only the eyes of the nazgul are ever visible, and then only as vague gleaming. They could and did wear ordinary visible items tho.Xnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-59297553635404917132014-05-29T21:42:26.044-04:002014-05-29T21:42:26.044-04:00It's easy to forget with the films around, but...It's easy to forget with the films around, but the first book actually doesn't have the fight with the orcs. The ending has Frodo and Sam leave after the clash with Boromir, and then the Two Towers book begins with the battle and Boromir's death. The films changed the pacing into what would fit an action movie (and probably this game) better.<br /><br />This was a really nostalgic read, thank you. :) It might've been the first cRPG I played, though I didn't get to the end with my English skills at the time.Teukrosnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-69449686911540656682014-05-29T20:59:52.759-04:002014-05-29T20:59:52.759-04:00I have no idea why I capitalized "eagles.&quo...I have no idea why I capitalized "eagles."
