Basically he's gone from upholding a game "faithful to the books" to a game with certain "needs" that is anything but a believable world. I was kind of hoping that LOTRO would be something new -- something realistic to a point, and more mature in terms of more deeply involved gameplay and less neon lights and flashy graphics garbage. Since PAX, I've begun to doubt him. Hopefully, he'll prove me wrong.
