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.
