btw, Most people hate when you cite movies as they are non-canon. Tbh, unless a place is described in the books, I see no reason not to take some inspiration from the movies. Well, in response to that, I'd say it's far better to use what we know about the people and construct our own interpretation. With specific regards to Dale, the movies did well making a facinating design, but it didn't truly feel "Northmen". Too much Tibet and not enough Rohan, if you know what I mean. I'd personally take what we know about other Northman designs (like Lake Town and Rohan) and mix it with some fabulous Dwarven stonework, and then finally add in the stuff Gloin talked about in FotR, such as the fountains, water channels, and so forth.
