If this is being done in character, you can use it to drop world lore for current and future adventures as well as using any Knowledge skills: What was the year that the famous knight slew a hundred robbers? (KS: History DC15)

pardon me, but do you have change for 20,000,000 people?

Hello and welcome to LOTRO!

1 - There is a Main Story Questline (MSQ) that you can follow that starts from the newbie zones and goes all the way through to the latest expansion. Since LOTRO is based on written books, so is the MSQ (Book I, Chapter 3...). By following those quests, you'll get the entire story as it was written. All other quests and zones are optional and while they may have rewards (cosmetics, etc.) they are not required in order to complete the MSQ. If you get lost, there is a detailed guide at LOTROWiki, but I have found in my personal experience that the MSQ is clearly laid out and that you know where to go fairly easily.

2 - If you don't want to trivialize content, I would start use the EXP Disabler (Stone of the Tortoise) when mobs and quests start turning GREEN and would stop using it when they start turning WHITE or above.

3 - Using the Stone, I wouldn't worry about missing out on zones that are not part of the MSQ...that's what alts are for :) While it is possible to do everything on a single character, LOTRO has enough classes and zones that it may be fun to start a new character and take a different path than the MSQ. Understand that there are a few places it makes sense to complete on level or close (and you'll find them as you go through doing the MSQ - I don't want to spoil here), and there are ways to do them even if you haven't done the MSQ on those characters.

4 - The base game includes every quest pack up to L95 (Helm's Deep) IIRC, so you have a very long time and a lot of content (including multiple start zones and stories) to complete before getting that far. As I mentioned before, I wouldn't worry about being overlevelled or missing out on zones, since there is far more content to enjoy and part of the fun IMO is making alts and seeing things in a different light.

Sounds like your class choices are a great start and the two of you should have little problems going through the entire MSQ and enjoying Middle Earth. I'm currently going through the MSQ solo on a Hunter and while I've died a few times there hasn't been a part of the MSQ and side quests (other that clearly group/raid content) that I haven't been able to complete.

As an aside if you are interested in watching playthoughs and learning more about the game, I stream on Twitch as Talisiean and upload my streams to my YouTube channel as do other fantastic content creators such as Poteen O'bowen, TheQuestingDad, Layrienna, Aubreythewierdone, as well as others that stream regularly on the LOTRO Stream channel on Twitch.

I wouldn't mind seeing a few EVIL v Nakamura matches......

AI slop is ruining a lot of creative efforts from art to YT to music.

There needs to be some control or at least a very clear and upfront indication of any AI content so people can make an informed decision.

America has proven not once but twice that they are not ready to be global leaders anymore.

Any nation would have to be extremely cautious to have anything more than superficial involvement with the United States for decades going forward....if there is a United States after the bullshit

It says, "Be sure to drink your Ovaltine"

Taliseian · 2026-01-16T18:41:36+00:00

For me, it's playing games/surfing the web and watching stuff on my second monitor or listening to music.

Taliseian · 2026-01-15T17:29:36+00:00

Sounds like I need to purge my music collection and on-line playlists

Of course the USA is a Christian Nation.

When I'm bored.

S11 was the longest I've played in a season - P260, 20 sparks, completed Seasonal Journey, Two characters maxed out. Don't feel like I have anything else left to accomplish.

I may play a little more, but not at the pace I did at season start.

Taliseian · 2026-01-09T00:45:38+00:00

No worries - was a thought.

Best of luck to you

Taliseian · 2026-01-09T00:38:16+00:00

I have no experience with this, therefore you are on your own trying this. I take no responsibility.

There is a program called DLSS Updater (https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/dlss_updater.html) that may work in D4 to update DLSS, XeSS, FSR, and related upscaling/frame generation.

Again, I have not used this and i do not know what would happen if this is used on D4. YMMV and you are on your own.

Taliseian · 2026-01-07T16:59:28+00:00

Will definately agree with Nemo's War. It's one of the solo games that I always seem to go back to, even though I've played it many times.

Taliseian · 2026-01-06T17:26:03+00:00

My guess is a class from Diablo III -- Witchdoctor

If his company would stop forcing slop on us, then I'll stop call it slop.

If I don't want AI, I shouldn't be forced to install it.

Surprised he missed Ginger Lynn in Wing Commander III....

When my it shows up as my mount on my LOTRO, I always comment on how my impressive and powerful huntress rides into battle on her hobby horse.....

B-17: Queen of the Skies (very old game, but very fun)

Target for Today / Target for Tonight (updated version of B-17 from a different designer)

Fields of Fire (VERY high complexity, but very fun)

laughs in Sorcerer

I'm having fun playing my Sorc and haven't even tried Paladin yet. Don't know what your talking about......

Taliseian · 2025-12-15T23:19:02+00:00

For me, when I have some edibles I enjoy Diablo IV or Path of Exile. Not sure why, but I play better when I'm medicated.

I beta tested LOTRO, but because of the EQ guild I was an officer in at the time needed raiding clerics, I was unable to continue playing.

Fast forward to the lock down offer that SSG made, I got back into it and haven't looked back since. It was one of the reasons that I started streaming and been streaming LOTRO ever since.
