Harhm is Confused


Harhm is looking confused. Specifically, he's /mood_confused.

Nelgdorf, Nazrin and I stumbled upon this special set of facial emotes in LOTRO last night and we were hella impressed. The animators at Turbine must have worked overtime on these and I thank them from the bottom of my heart, this is exactly the sort of thing that amuses me to no end.

All of the mood_ emotes are held once set, so you can run around with your character looking surprised, mischievous, happy or sad (plus a whole lot of other distinctive options).

If you watch the video for a few seconds, you may spot the nature of Harhm's distress. ;)

Bear Intimidation Tactics


When I've been asked what I think of LOTRO so far, I keep answering the same way:

"I love the attention to detail"

Turbine has put loving detail in everything, from the scenery to the emotes. I particularly appreciate it with the mobs. The AI is good and different mob types have distinctive animations to go with their special attacks.

I love this bear attack, where they get on their hind legs and roar with the full force of their bad breath and spittle:

The first time I had a bear do that to me, I almost fell out of my chair. It's hella intimidating.
