SKYRIM LORD OF THE RINGS MOD MOD
I haven’t enjoyed a game set in the universe since, which makes me want to say LET THEM MAKE THE SKYRIM MOD IT COULD BE AWESOME. LOTR games are mediocre at best, except for the Return of the King on PS2 which was released almost ten years ago. What really grinds is that most Warner Bros. are currently working on a similar product themselves.
That’s right, Warner Bros., the company who owns the IP to LOTR actually took the time to stop a bunch of indie modders from making their mod, which some might say is a result of lashing out against a potential threat.Īlready in development, Middle Earth Role Playing has decided to stop the project as they simply can’t afford to go up against the might of Warner Bros.īut modders have Lord of the Ring-ised other games, including a mod for Total War, and faced no issues – so this is either a particularly harsh bit of discrimination, or Warner Bros. That’s not particularly extraordinary, as the two universes seem pretty compatible anyway what is extraordinary is the fact that the modding team was forced to can the idea because they received a Cease & Desist letter from none other than Warner Bros.
Potential and upcoming mods for Skyrim are announced and cancelled all the time, but this one is a little different as it was going to combine the universes of the Elder Scrolls and the Lord of the Rings. One of the most promising Skyrim mods has been binned for copyright reasons.
