Lord of the Rings game engine

Rewrite of the game engine for very famous Lord of the Rings Game by Interplay. The game captures the athmosphere of Middle Earth very well and it is regarded as one of the best Tolkien inspired games ever. It is an old-fashioned RPG covering most of the book events but adds more quests. I like that the game gives the player a lot of freedom and I believe the replayability is high. Check the complete walkthough by Dront to get the an idea how huge the game is.

Please support me and rate my game well on Happypenguin forums. The amount of work I've put into this was huge.
