User blog:Glflegolas/The Lone-Lands -- Some beautiful screenshots

Good day to all,

Recently, I've been playing my Man vs. Middle-Earth challenge; this is my third attempt at surviving 14 days in the wilds of Eriador with two Ranger bodyguards. I've survived three days so far, but more on that later.

On this day (after a rather nerve-racking night that featured a Gundabad and a Gundabad Warg invasion, with me hiding in a cave, trying to not be eaten), I took some screenshots of a mountain and the surrounding area, and here they are.

The Mountain
While this mountain isn't the real Weathertop, it certainly is second to none. It

There is a Rhudaur Hillman Village near the mountain.

At night
Since this is the highest point in the area, I decided to spend the night here with my two Ranger companions.

The significance of these photographs
I think these images really showcase the beauty of the mod's terrain generation. I mean, do you know of any other game with scenery this beautiful? Vanilla Minecraft certainly doesn't come close, most other mods don't really change the terrain generation from vanilla that much (or if they do, it doesn't look realistic), and most RPG games focus more on the mechanics of the RPG than on making the world look just perfect. Same goes for most FPS games, MMO's, and even many sandbox games. These images are more than just screenshots. They're a work of art, and a testament to the relentless dedication that our modder puts into this mod to cross the line from good to great. This mod truly is the best in its class, because it is in a class all its own.
