PC Role Playing Games

With the upcoming Peter Jackson, Del Toro movie the ‘Hobbit’ now in production, I can see a resurgence of of these rosy cheeked hardy folk as a role play favourite. I predict the Hobbit will an incredible movie, far outstretching The Lord of the Rings in its visual granduer and effects. Why? Because in the interveneing years both Jackson and his effects house Weta FX have come along way. Their facilities have expanded tenfold and the amount of in house effects software has grown, they have also had much more experince on major motion pictures and visual effects such as for the movie Avatar.

Anyway… as for roleplaying a Hobbit. If you wish to try your hand their is of course LoTRO (Lord of the Rings online), but for something differnt try RoME, The Return of Middle Earth, a persistant world for the gam Neverwinter Nights Storm of Zehir. Here you can even play a corrupted evil hobbit race known as Angmaran hobbits, which are Gollum like. The game is set far in the future in the sixth age, well after the reign of Aragorn, this is good because it means whilst you are in Middle Earth.. you are not polluting your view of the world as found in the books. As a role playing PC game this is one of the best.

Hobbits or ‘halflings’ as they are sometimes known are always great because they are sneaky and small and very full of personality. Tell us about your favourite hobbits!
