Description

omg didn't expect anything, as I stumbled across for my daily visit.
HUURRRRRRRR. *_*
are those self-made trees?
Swamp in front of Mordor?
Yep
Dead marshes
Those are the Dead marshes in fact. The trees are partially self-made, partially, we used the reach-trees
I have the greatest boner right now
Oh my god... oh my I do not know what else to say :-)
I especially like those trees! :D Good work MERP-team!
Will you customize the normal grass and bushes, to a more unique look. Not that they are wrong, I'm just curious as we're going to see a lot of these. :P
VERY well done!
I do hope there is a hidden path somewhere :P
How deep is the lake (at least so you can drown I mean)? And will you add some script that makes you... not wanting to go in the water :)
It would ruin the feel of the game if you could just waltz across the swamp without anything to stop you.
The lake itself isn't that deep because that would not be realistic for a swamp. You'd also not be able to see corpses on the ground if it were deep. However, we will have to create anything that avoids you to go to that waters. Any script will be neccesary as you say, but we have no detailled plan about that yet.
I hope it will be actually dangerous out there, not only for show.
but... the light... shes ....so.. pret... *spash*
Yes, first I got a map of Middle-Earth for my birthday (framed and printed on cloth :D ) and then I get this. Thank you for making it complete ;)
thats a nice birthday present but i got the precious!!:D
Really... want to have a riddle contest?
What is in my pocket?
Something... precious to me. :-P
a boner
So you aren't working with Rohan only i see ;D
And what region do you plan to release after Rohan?
The dead marshes are on the border. So yes, we are only working on Rohan.
I should think that skyrim would be very suited to recreating Rohan! Can't wait.
Ooh, i didn't know Rohan stretched that far east, but it's not the whole marsh is is??
It doesn't technically. But for LOD purposes as well as others, we had to stretch it beyond Rohan's actual borders.
looks fantastic!
very good
omg when I saw this I got chill's all over my body :D
Amazing!
All that mist and clouds look beautiful. The tree's are spot on Intimidating, Which is just Awesome. LOVE IT and can't wait to experience this at first hand. so close yet so far.
i hope to see some creepy things in the water
the grass looks slightly not as good as i could be, but the trees and mist are amazing!! and you should make it possible to somehow find maps that would lead you through the dead marshes or we can simply try and load like 100 times:D
Never knew such as dreadful place can be beautiful! You guys rock. Keep up the amazing work!
how about make it more foggy?
Don't get me wrong here, I think it looks amazing, but idk, I think the ground and foliage is a bit... green?
They are the dead marshes because of the bodies, not because it is literally dead. Marshes are not full of dead stuff (usually). Marshes tend to look fairly green.
But, idk, shouldn't it be more... like mucky, murky? Something, hmm idk maybe like the water is too normal? Idk what it is but there's just something not there.... The mist maybe? Like would it be possible to make the mist a bit more pale greenish? You know like as if the air was foul and stuff?
The water will be improved - we'll create an individual water type for the marshes. Concerning the greenish fog, I'm not sure whether that wouldn't look to unreal. However, It'd be worth a try.
i agree with you something seems missing/out of place, but it looks so amazing that only a slight improvement is needed, better water would surly help:D and it should (i think) look more mucky
Yeah. Thank you both for the hints. Maybe, a custom weather type could bring some help as well.
if all else fails try making it look similar to what is in the movie:D also instead of a grass texture for the ground try using a dirt texture and the only grass would be the (3D looking) 2D bushes and shrubs.
will there be a fast- travel system?
The Skyrim version will be an option on install. MERP may have a cart system or ship system or something of the sort. That may also be optional.
I don't like quick travel, all I need is a fast horse, or eagle:D will there be eagles that are flyable?
I guess not, the great eagles decide who they help and who not... I don't see this happening in Free-roam, maybe as part of the white-council quest-line...
Oh!!! Deadmarshes! Yes please! YES!
This is looking very nice, you folk. I can not wait to try it out! :)
BONER
Epic, much better than the oblivion one so far :)
