Doesn't mean we don't need to play it. Haradrim mayhate Gondorians, that doesn't mean they can't send emissaries like North Korean representatives to the UN. Baranor was a kid. Easier to indoctrinate. Helm and Isildur were RAISED from the dead (yes, that's unfriendly to ring lore). Pretty small detail, the fire. Still unfriendly, though. Shelob's origins are unknown? No. We know she is spawn of Ungoliant.

And again, just because the game is unfriendly to lore doesn't mean we don't need to play it. Just like how SWTOR isn't canon but people still love it. We play it for the fun. For the gameplay. For the visual feast.
