One of the things this mod needs is more dynamic and interesting NPC interaction. I recently had an idea: Gifts! I think that if an NPC "likes you" (you must have 10+ alignment with the faction and you must have done  a mini quest with the npc in the past) He/She should have a chance to give you a gift if you are nearby them in their faction. To keep it from being overpowered, there is a limit of only one gift every 20 or so minecrat days per npc, and the gifts aren't too spectacular. For instance, if you are friendly with an elf, they may give you a few peices of lembas bread, or a used bow. (There is still a chance o having it be enchanted.) These gifts will give more reason for making friends with npcs. However, non human npcs such as orcs should not give gifts, for reasons that should be obvious. I do think that Haradrim and Dunlendings should give gifts, so evil players are not completely left out.

Now, for my second Idea. Revenge. I often find myself taking out my anger on friendly npcs, leaving them mere hearts from death. I think there should be some sort of punishment for this. For example, if I was in Rohan, my homeland, and I punched someone in the face and ran away. The next time I see them, one of two things should have a chance of happening. Either the npc attacks me (but doesn't kill me), he shouts an insult at me (For example: Oh look there goes EpicSpacePanda! He who's breath smells of troll!), or he does nothing. Although I think no matter what the outcome, he should always be a bit harsher towards you when you interact with him, and he can no longer give you mini quests. This should be more likely with some factions, (If he's an orc the chances are high, if he's a hobbit the chances are low).

And finally, my third idea. Isn't it rather peculiar how when you hire an army they are completely silent unless you talk to them? I think that they should have random lines as you march towards your destination. Their lines can be complaining about family, daily life, living conditions, or they can simply talk about the weather. I understand that this could get quite annoying, so I also think there should be a slider in the middle earth menu for the amount of chatter.

Whew! That was a lot of typing. Let me know what you think! I don't have time to look over it, so there are likely to be some grammatical mistakes. Just ignore them.
