I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one thinking this or wanting it either? An epic sized rpg based in Middle Earth (lord of the rings world). personally I think it would be a hit. Combining the fans of the elder scrolls and lord of the rings, chances are a game like this would make alot of sales and if done right would make alot of fans happy.

feel free to comment with your opinion, but please keep the "hating" at a minimum if you can, this is only an opinion and/or idea.

Copy rights and no.

Copy rights.. that's why there's alot of LOTR games out already.

Nah, Bethesda has their own established series, there's no point in taking another

http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1364965-what-if-bethesda-made-x/ You're welcome to suggest that Bethesda make a LOTR game over there, however given that Bethesda already has a popular and successful fantasy setting it seems odd that they're work on another's.
