my real body is already in the game and it's used by the giants.

Same but riekling.

That quest in Dragonborn where you either help the Rieklings kill the Nords they evicted or help the Nords reclaim their clubhouse I accidently helped Rieklings before I realized I'd have to kill all the Nords to finish it. Tried it the other way and decided, no, the one where I have a Riekling tribe of my own is the best resolution.

Time for another unsolicited modpost. This time it's about everyone's favourite hero-based, fantasy RTS that later became a popular MMO, The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-earth II: The Rise of the Witch-king. BFME2 modding may not be as widespread as its Command & Conquer cousins' and definitely not as diverse, considering every single mod is a LOTR mod. Well, there was an early attempt by the Blitzkrieg 2 team to port their WW2 game to the newer engine, but turns out it wasn't a great fit. Still, there's a decent community for the game and today I'll talk about its two biggest projects.

A relative newcomer to the scene, Age of the Ring hews closer to the base game's mechanics but features completely redone graphics, factions, and a whole slew of new maps, all with a strict eye for consistency and quality. Despite being "only" a few years old, some of its team have been modding as far back as the first BFME and it shows.

AotR similarly divides the human and elven nations, adds Dol Guldur, and Mirkwood and Harad are in the works. One of its greatest strengths is its willingness to bend and add to the LOTR canon while remaining thematically and visually loyal to the books and movies. The recently released Dol Guldur plays very differently from other factions, spreading corruption and necromancy across the land. Lower tier units take damage if not within a structure's aura but their single-use builders and defensive towers are cheap and quick to build. Many of their abilities disrupt and damage enemy bases, others convert slain foes into temporary wraiths.

The mod also has more of a focus on singleplayer content than a lot of its ilk. The original missions have been remade within AotR's framework, it's got its own campaign that currently covers the events of the first book, and adds Besiege maps, assaults on massive, AI-controlled fortresses that will be playable cooperatively in the next patch. The team has been borderline-professional with its work, scoping each version and releasing on a regular basis.

But how on earth can I play these fabulous mods?
Yeah, so here's the thing. Neither BFME game has been readily available for a very long time and with moviegame rights being what they are, it's unlikely that they'll be available on Origin or whatever anytime soon. The community has surreptitiously started hosting the games online and I'm sure if you google "BFME Revora" you can figure things out and I don't risk getting in trouble from tattletale goons. Additionally, said community has created its own multiplayer solution, a lot like CNCNet at https://t3aonline.net/ and oh look what's included on its download page.

I mean if you want to show-off raytracing, old games with simple graphics are the best. Quake 2 or Minecraft with RTX are impressive because of the massive shift in graphics.
