Lord Of The Rings=Arcanum

Is it justme or is there alot of simmalarities between Lord of The Rings and Arcanum

Durin's Stone is in both
Quintara is simmilar to Lothlorien
The Quest were you have to destroy the Bane of Kree's sowrd in the fires were it was made is like Frodo going to destroy the ring in the fires were it was made
The whole thing about the ring being important



Anyone have other ideas?

 

1. Durin's Stone is an easter egg. It's a reference to the Lord of the Rings.

2. Of course Lothlorien and Qintarra are similar. Tolkein's concept of elves has been ripped by countless thousands.

3. So was my quest to destroy a stick I found in the fireplace. That doesn't mean my life is like Lord of the Rings.

4. So is the Pope's ring. Does that mean he's Sauron?

It is possible that Sauron and the pope are one. they both wear robes after all.

Whats with dwarfs always sounding Scottish and why the axe? I thought it would've been picks with dwarfs, underground miners and all, unless it's because they hate elves so much they want to cut done all their trees.

 

I always thought they were Scandanavian, rather than Scottish. Their names are Thug Thugson, etc, whereas Scots tend to be Thug Mcthug. Plus, I think Dwarves were originally borrowed by Tolkien from Norse Mythology.

They DO have Scottish accents in games and stuff. I don't know why. Maybe the Scandanavian accent doesn't sound tough enough when speaking English.

Maybe they thought it would be better to take an actual weapon to war instead of a mining implement. If everyone had to use their work tools in war, swords wouldn't exist, and weavers would need a cart just to get to the battle with their War Looms.

 

Yes, it wouldn't be very fair to the weavers. Or the prostitutes for that matter...


The Scandinavian accent isn't very characteristic, it just makes you sound stupid if anything, i don't even know how you'd copy that accent.

I liked the Scottish accent btw

 

I don't know, the prostitutes would probably win the war. Just take a look at this

 

MegaTokyo? You're going to use anime as an example of prostitutes winning a war? I mean, unless they literally fuck everyone to death, or give everyone a disease of some sort...

 

lol.

^---my most useless post ever! yay!

 

Well, don't I feel stupid - I thought Rat Keeng was talking about them having to drag a matress to battle!

 

Hahaha!!! Do you know how stupid you sound? It’s not I Easter egg; it’s just a reference!!! There is a word for people like you who insist in call it an Easter egg: delusional! Let me explain how the REAL word works…
(whatever happened to this guy?)

Pick axes are a mighty weapon. you see the dwarfs could make a battle version of the pick. it would be great, one mould fits all. teach the young dwarfs how to make a pick and thats all. No need to learn how to make two things. its about stream lining and corner the pick market.

 

They'd be mighty warriors, feared by rocks everywhere. Big rocks would use their names to make little rocks behave.

 

My humble personal opinion:

1) The Dwarves are from Glasgow. If they have names like Thug McThug or Theron Arm Cutter or the like, they are definitely from Glasgow.

2) The Dwarves use the Axe because it is the bst weapon for their size and strength. A sword is too clumsy. They lack dexterity. The axe is a slashing weapon that cuts deeper with the momentum. With short, strong arms, dwarves are able to swing the axe in an arc which will give the heavy axe enough momentum to cut really DEEP.

3) The problem with prostitutes is not carrying a mattres to war. It's finding an open spot to lay it on. I'll have to agree that this, in turn, would classify as bio-warfare. Three years down the road most of the male population would be wiped out by STDs and the like.

 

I like the Scottish accent. BTW, I realized, that, in the place where the Fellowship of the Ring was made, Gorin, after he said "I will be dead before I be ruled by the hands of an elf!", he slobbers, and a big line of snot/spit hangs from his mustash for awhile. It looks funny. :lol:

 

You're a moron. Allow me to make a metaphorical statement that might allow you to understand what you just said.

"

Hahaha!!! Do you know how stupid you sound? It's not I azure; it's blue!!!"

And there's a word for those who enjoy using multiple exclamation points.

 

Tolo Underhill the hobbit theif=
Underhill is the alias Frodo used in Bree
Tolo, Frodo, don't they sound simmilar

 

Try to take a look at the orcs in warcraft2? Or the ballrog in diablo they are all coppied from lotr.

 

I think that Tolkein made everything similar to Lord of the rings!

 

Are you saying that all modern fantasy writers, game designers, movie producers, and you great aunt Gertrude are actually Tolkein in disguise? That's kinda creepy
