Game Summary
Many years ago,
the dark lord Sauron forged the One Ring to control the races of
the Middle Earth. He was defeated by the human prince Isildur, who
took the ring to himself. But such was the evil power of the ring
that it brought misfortune to whoever dared to bear it, corrupting
their souls. Eventually, the ring ended up by Frodo Baggins, a
peaceful hobbit who was unaware of his possession's true nature.
Realizing that the only way to be free of the ring's power would
be to destroy it, the wizard Gandalf tells Frodo to carry it to
Sauron's land, Mordor, and throw it into the lava rivers of the
Orodruin volcano, thus saving Middle Earth from destruction.
J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, Vol. I is a fantasy
role-playing game based on The Fellowship of the Ring, the first
volume of the Lord of the Rings book trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkien.
The events of the game follow those depicted in the book rather
closely, though a few characters and occurrences are not present,
and many quests have been added. Characters belonging to various
races and nations join Frodo on his quest; these include key
figures from the book as well as several characters unique to the
game.
The game is rather open-ended, allowing the player to roam vast
top-down environments and undertake side missions in addition to
the main storyline, which must be followed in order to complete
the game. Combat takes place in the same area as exploration, and
is turn-based. The player has full control over the actions of the
characters in the party. These characters can also be swapped,
equipped with weapons and armor, and use various skills
(individual and shared), such as sneaking, perception (to find
hidden items), unique "words of power", and others.
Unlike the vast majority of role-playing games, there are no
experience points or character levels in the game.
Player-controlled party becomes stronger by obtaining better
equipment and items, learning new abilities, and recruiting
stronger characters that would help the weak hobbits to survive
encounters with Nazguls and other dangerous creatures. There are
optional ways to access major locations, and much of the combat in
the game can be avoided..
