I wonder how successful the game would be if they had stripped out all the LOTR stuff and made their own IP or used a lesser-known one?

I honestly don't think the IP is benefiting them all that much.  Selling it as a LoTR game isn't fooling anyone who knows more than the very basics of the lore, and it's probably alienating at least a few curmudgeonly gits.

I always thought they missed a trick by not going with Warhammer Fantasy instead.  Oddly charismatic greenskins fit the lore far better, and they're already basically ultraviolent comic relief.  Plus the DLC/expansion potential would be basically limitless with the plethora of different races, anyone who can say they wouldn't pay for at least Skaven, Chaos/Beastmen (think of the mutations!) and Vampire Counts is either a liar or a fool.  Also, y'know, goblins.

Their weird McGuffin of a new Ring would fit in better with a world that has umpteen million powerful artifacts, the new enemy types they shoehorn in already have very close equivalents in WHF, and the lore is just generally convoluted but open enough for them to get away with a lot more craziness than is feasible with LotR.  Hell, even the weird wraith possession thing would make far more sense with an IP switch.  OR they could drop it entirely and let players lead the WAAAGH as an orc.  The early game could consist of you carving your way through the nemesis system to become a chieftain/warboss.

A WHF based Mount & Blade style game using something like the Nemesis system in place of generic lords would be pretty much my dream game.

TL;DR: Green iz da best.

So you're saying we need someone to make an orky WHF game with a nemesis system?

So I booted up Nemesis Forge, and had to fix which nemesis it'd chosen because it was some warchief I hadn't fought before iirc.

The follower however was perfectly fine, even if I'm not quite sure how I branded him in the first place.

A Better Advent
Grimy' Loot Mod
True Concealment
Long War Alien Pack

A Better Advent 2, the original is outdated.

Also, get Accurate Swords if you don't just edit the ini to give swords perfect accuracy yourself.

Congrats to Hanslandad!

My computer doesn't have a wireless card because that costs money and ethernet is better.  Is there some way I can connect to the router and then through the router connect to the printer?  Or should I just get a USB cord printer?  (I couldn't think of the words to google this)

Our wireless printer/scanner/copier here is just a normal all-in-one with nonfunctional (requires a now-lost cd) wireless capability. Does your printer have no non-power cables?

The quest isn't the huge timesink, its the harrow systems.
Chassis is literally just run some fissures and you will eventually pick one (or two, or four) up from dead corrupted enemies in the mission just like oberon parts from eximi.
Neuroptics are kuva fortress spy, which can be ivara'd until it works.
Systems is hidden in Defection rot C, on Neptune or Saturn. Phobos defection has less chance to get it instead of a relic.

Also, today is baro day. He brought the Aklex Prime relic again.

Formorians are basically miniextensions of the eyes of blight event. Omega isotopes, archwing, pewpew, don't get rekt by the laser, etc.

I haven't heard any issues with the anticheat recently, and the only worthwhile things in the higher-price packs when I'd seen them last was the value pack and the free t5 horse. If you want to get it, just get the cheap one.
