One more thing. I think this release has some of the best environments since Moria. It's perfect!
Mirkwood Forest - It's dark and depressing. It's really hard to stay on the path. The water makes you fall asleep (this is cool, although gets old fast).
Raft-Elves - Wow! This place was unexpected! Where the elves gather together all the barrels and ship them off to Lake Town.
Old Esgaroth - The old, burned out Lake Town
Lake-Town - The new Lake Town. So much fun to wander around this place! Felt like I was in the Hobbit movies, with all the bridges, etc.
Dale - Gorgeous town, especially from a distance at night, with all the lights
Erebor - As if the inside wasn't awesome enough - the outside of it and the steps up to it were just awesome
I just felt really immersed in the atmosphere of this region, so it follows that SSG did a great job with it!
Love it!
