If all of you read the books, then all of you should remember how Bilbo Baggins and Gollum had the game of riddles. I love riddles, and since they were tied in very closely with the achievement of the ring, I think a riddle system should be added. It is very simple.

When you talk to a normal NPC, they will have a chance of telling you a riddle about something, (depending on their Faction) Southrons would probably tell you riddles about sand and heat, hobbits would tell you normal riddles about chairs, foods, and silverware, orcs probably wouldn't tell you riddles other than "Get to work maggot!" and maybe even trolls could have a riddle or two about stones and squirrels! And then you could guess away at the riddles! (and maybe someone else will post an answer sheet somewhere? Nudge nudge wink wink)

However, I have a little fun sugestion to this. While normal NPCs ask you riddles and don't do anything else, I think that bartenders should tell you riddles as bets! (If you guess the riddle, you will get a coin or two, but you will also need at least one coin for this little game) You will have an extra option in the GUI. Instead of "Talk" "Trade" or possibly "hire" in the case of farmers, you will have a "Riddle" option. When you click on the riddle option, there will be a text with a riddle. (all of the riddles will be more or less common objects for the faction, nothing like a hobbit talking about mithril) All of the riddles answers are in the game. When you got the riddle, you have to put the item in the slot. (example: The riddles answer is a fish, and you put a fish in the slot.) the NPC will say something along the lines of "Correct!" or "Good lad!" and will drop a coin or two. (this is NOT meant to be a money making thing, just something for fun. That is why you only get 1-2 coins.) If you lose however, you click Give Up option, and then a coin is taken from YOUR inventory, since you "lost the bet".

Hope all of you liked this suggestion!
