SPOnG's all for fighting bears. We've long considered it a favourable pursuit as we roam through the mountains in our Bear Grylls (think Ray Mears times 10) type manner. But... we have to question the sanity of going up against the bear in these new screens for Chapter 12 of
Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar.
Granted, the chap staring the big furry beast down is wearing armour (which looks suspiciously like it leaves his arse exposed). Sure, he's carrying a weapon and a shield. But... we can't help but feel that taking on a dirty yellow animal that's approximately a million times your size is going to end in tears.
We'll be able to find out for ourselves sometime in February, when Chapter 12 (dubbed
The Ashen Wastes) is released to
LOTRO subscribers for free. In the meantime, you can find out more about
Shadows of Angmar on SPOnG's
dedicated game page.
