The 'Middle Earth Roleplaying Project' aims to recreate J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle Earth in the Creation engine of 'Skyrim'. The player will be plunged into Middle Earth near the end of the Third Age, not long before the War of the Ring breaks out.
Gondorian plate armour, created by BGS.
omg that's awesome O.O
Very well done!. The model could use a little bit more detail however.
the wrists and thighs mostly, but still, me gusta!
MOTHER OF TEXTURES AND MODELING!
WOW great guys good job :) cant wait to have thing on while wondering in minas tirith :)
Wow Awesome, although I'm gonna be a wandering Ranger:)
Mother of Armors...
I'm gonna walk into Gondor and kill the first guard I see just to get that armor :O
Yeah ... good luck with that ...
woah talk about rash... heard of how about purchasing it?
I'm mighty impressed, WETA themselves couldn't have done a better job!
Nah, they could. Not to say this isn't awesome, but c'mon, we're talking about WETA here.
The MERP team is the WETA of games!
We'll see if you say that when we are done. This is only the beginning ;)
Very well. Impress us!
Amazing !
Very nice! :D
Im in real love ! This armour is really good in both modelling ways and textures.
HOLY MOTHER OF SAURON! WHAT IS THIS SORCERY! >.<
Nice model and good work
For god sake remember the corpses in the dead marshes! :D Just for the looks! :D
Christ! This really makes me hate that I can't run Skyrim on my computer!
That looks astounding! This mod will rock no matter what.
Woooo, very nice model! I can see how much you guys are dedicated to this mod! :)
Anyway, how many polygons is it? :)
(Sorry for my bad English)
Holy f**k! Thats.. wow.. amazing!
wow this look so real&amazing!
I have some questions..... if we are playing as a hobbit in the place of Frodo, then how would we be in the battles like Helm's Deep and at Pelenor Fields? Will the gameplay be like the movie? Switching to Frodo and Sam then Merry and Pippin and then to Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli? Or will that be in the questline as other races where the player is in the White Council?
There is the Ringbearer questline in which you play Frodo (and only Frodo).
In the White Council questline you will play a new character who gets main quests from the White Council (Elrond, Galadriel and Gandalf) and you'll be sent to some of the battles (mostly your choice).
And there is the Free Roaming mode in which you don't have a Main quest and can do whatever you want.
Events like battles will happen at their set date, so if you arrive one day too late the battle will be over.
As Merong said, there are these three "gameplay modes" planned (Ringbearer, White Council, and Free Roam). Hopefully all 3 will include all the major events in Middle Earth (including the major battles), so the player should have the option to take part in them ...
However, as the Ringbearer I would strongly stress that the player should focus on their task of destroying the Ring! Did Frodo take part in any of the major battles? No! He had a quest to take part in. He holds the fate of Middle Earth in his hands! He has no time to get side-tracked with all these major events!
Besides, a Hobbit fighting hordes of Uruk-Hai while holding the fate of the bloody world in his hands doesn't feel quite right, now does it?
I don't know there are spears in Skyrim . Great job on the armour guys ! :)
@AragornIIElessar: There aren't spears in Skyrim, MERP will try implementing spears as a new weapon type ;)
There is much improvement between this version and the Oblivion version good job!
Great job with the armour. It really looks good. I remembered reading thru one of your discussion long time ago about implementing realistic damage etc into Merp and there was some questions about plate armour being really uber (in real life almost impervious to bow shot arrows, etc). I really wanted to know whether u guys are also gonna be making a version of mail armour for gondor such that plate armour is only accessible for elite units?
Yes, we will probalby also make a chainmail armor for Gondor's soldiers.
Would be great because you were folowing the books right?
@DuBaas007: Books come before movie. We may have a place for both Gondorian chainmail AND plate armor that should make sense ;)
looks amazing good job
I give it a THUMBS UP!
So, about how much bigger than skyrim will this map be?
About ten times the size of Skyrim. So...A LOT bigger ;)
To put it in perspective, Rohan will be about the same size as Skyrim.
mother of Landscapes...
Magnificent!
Looks amazing! I know you would want to release everything at once but it would also be awesome to release a couple teaser armors just by them selves. This would also create more awareness of this amazing mod! I would love walking through normal skyrim with this sick armor :)
I dont have words! :O
Omg, I can't wait. Though I think ima need to upgade my comp to play this now
Ehem.....can I haz? Come on can i haz it? No but searosly can I have it? There need to be MOAR lotr stuff
This is wonderful stuff Guys!
are you doing any for the Guard Of The Citadel?
@Winter-Wolf: Guard of the Citadel should definitely have a place in MERP whenever we get to developing Minas Tirith :)
Fantastic! I hope we get to see the citadel guards wandering around with those ridiculous winged helmets :)
that's the fountain/(white)tower guard not the citadel guard helmet (fountain/tower guard are the also tasked with the protection of the steward of Minas Tirith (Denethor if you like)
and the Citadel guard are also the personal bodyguards of the King of gondor or the High-king of the united kingdoms (gondor and Arnor)
anyways; Luv the armor, Cheers :3
