Our writer on the ground at the Consumer Electronics Show, Carolyn Koh, filed this report on Turbine's Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar. It is based on an interview with PR man Adam Mersky.
I asked about the state of the game and was told that they were at a pre-launch "squashing bugs and polishing" stage. Adam also spoke about the challenges the Dev team encounters developing Tolkien's world.
"There's the Dwarven women issue where players want to be able to play female dwarves. If there are any questions, we always go back to the books. Gimli says that outsiders wouldn't be able to discern any differences and that the females are also bearded," said Adam. Currently, the characters are called "Dwarves - Male" but a visitor had given Adam a work around if Turbine chooses to use it. "She told us to just name them Dwarves and not use a gender significator."
