The Lord of the Rings Ultimate Comparison - LotRO Concepts in UE5 - Appendix

This video is the recap and closure of the Comparison series.
I wanted this Appendix to be both a remake of Volume I and Volume II and a complete showcase of many of the most important characters and structures of "the Lord of the Rings" Middle-earth as they appear in the open-world MMO known as LotRO.
The base graphic engine was Unreal Engine 5.
The audio mixing was made choosing the most characteristic tracks in the game.

The source of the data is the direct in-game measurement; for gameplay purposes the values may differ from the proper canon sizes.


A few words,

For Tolkien fans: the concepts shown in the video are intellectual property of the MMO The Lord of the Rings Online™. If you are thirsty to see a different interpretation from that of the movies, I would recommend you to give a shot at this game, that in my personal opinion is overall the best and most faithful visual transposition of the Tolkien's books to date.

For LotRO players: I hope you enjoyed the insights; you are welcome to discuss anything in the comments, and I would like to see more acknowledgments of the LotRO designs.
