andysheets1975: I've been on a Tolkien kick lately, so I started playing...
LOTR: War in the North, which is a fairly basic action RPG inspired by the movies. I'm currently in the Barrow Downs and I'm conflicted on whether to continue because I'm not finding it very engaging. It's kind of cool to see locations and characters the movies couldn't get into, at least.
So then I hunted around for something else and found a Mount and Blade mod called The Third Age, which is based on the book. I needed a little while to get adjusted to the map being more sparsely detailed, but I'm really liking it now. They did a nice job with it.
WITN is best played multiplayer, as I understand. LOTR: War in the North, which is a fairly basic action RPG inspired by the movies.

Is that the Last Days of the Third Age mod for MnB or Warband? I've played both and the WB one is just a port of the original with improvements, still being implemented but totally playable to the end of the War of the Ring. Great mod, one of my favorites in any game ever made.
Edited to add what I've been playing: KOTOR 2 with Sith Lords restored mod, Thrawn's Revenge mod for Star Wars:Empire at War which I've owned for years but had never tried this mod, which is amazing.
