These stones will imbue your items with additional attributes, such as boosts to your health, magic and damage towards specific monsters. There are certain high level pieces of gear that come with empty slots reserved for the Elf Stones you’ll come across during the course of the game. Weapons and armor will break if you allow the rating to reach zero, but it can always be repaired by visiting several in-game blacksmiths. The effectiveness of gear is determined by a durability rating that decreases with every hit you make and sustain.
Certain armor, weapons and accessories are restricted to your character if they lack the required stats, but spending points when you level up alleviates this problem. Loot plays a major role in developing characters and the game is packed with items to collect such as coin, potions, ammunition for bows and crossbows, weapons and gear. War in the North’s RPG component involves earning experience points from combat that will increase your character level and using skill points to build up special abilities that are assigned to the controller’s face buttons.
Combat is the major focus, so expect to cut through legions of Orcs, Trolls, wizards and Uruk-hai. The large, but incredibly linear levels are broken up into smaller sections that must be cleared of enemies and story-specific obstacles before moving on. Your party will move across Middle Earth, fighting enemies in locations that did not appear in the films.
War in the North is an action role playing game developed by Snowblind Studios who are no strangers to the genre, having worked on Champions of Norrath and Baulder’s Gate: Dark Alliance and if you’ve played either, you might be familiar with the style of play. While Aragorn and the Hobbits head south to Mordor, our three heroes launch a bold attack against Agandaur’s forces in the north. Agandaur counsels with the Witch King and reveals that he has been amassing an army of Orcs in order to aid the search for the Ring of Power. Farin (a dwarf), Eraden (a Dunedain ranger) and Andriel (an elf) meet with Aragorn and relate their battle outside Sarn Ford against the Nazgul and a warlord named Agandaur. Lord of the Rings: War in the North begins mere days before Frodo, Sam, Pippin and Merry meet Aragorn at the Prancing Pony in the town of Bree.
