Rare role-playing game, not to mention the strategies, boasts solid world with a sound history. Even the Forgotten Realms, the scene of many games based on D & D, - quilt, sewn from scraps of cultures of different peoples. A good example of sound of the universe - Middle-earth. It is not only an extensive mythology and history spanning several millennia, but in how it is served. Let's say we read in "The Hobbit", as the heroes managed to trick the trolls, then in the "Fellowship of the Ring" refers to their petrified bodies, and getting to the "Silmarillion", we learn the tragic story of Gondolin, swords, whose wrought Thorin & Co. found in a cave with treasures. The overall picture is not fragmented, but rather, gradually supplemented with new coat of paint. |
