Well we don't have to worry about an NDA. LoTR has apparently reached open beta (No surprise there), and we are free to discuss the game. Now if I can only get the client downloaded.

Might be an idea, the game seems pretty good, however they need to do some work on the quest mechanics. it is rather hard to find where you need to go since there are no markers or way points to show you the way. there are generic rings on the HUD, however those same rings also mark where to find other quests, this can get very confusing. the mapping system seems flawed and lacks details Lag is an issue, however it is only beta and I'm sure it will improve. Character control seems to need to be tweaked, The camera doesn't always track properly and you need to manually adjust it when you turn. Again this may only be an issue in beta. So you never know.
the quests don't seem to be as enthralling as i would have hoped. i mean it is LOTR, they should be epic and compel me to continue but they seem kinda bland. hopefully they have some more deep story driven quests in the game.
Other then those small issues, the character models look great, and the environments look stunning. it looks like it is shaping up to be a good game.
