2. Story Line (STRY)

*From the Manual*
Gandalf the Wizard has always said that there is much more to the little
Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins than meets the eye. You're about to prove hime right, for
you are about to put yourself in the shoes of Bilbo himself. That is-- if he
wore shoes on those leathery soles of his.
It is another in an endless stream of perfect days in the shire, and Bilbo is
at home in Bag End, his comfortable Hobbit-hole. Usually his biggest concern is
wondering when he'll enjoy his next meal. But that concern will soon be
overshadowed by the great responsibility Gandalf places on this diminutive
character.
Prepare to lead Bilbo on an epic journey where he encounters the dangers and
wonders of Middle-Earth beyond the boundaries of the Shire. Travel with Bilbo
and the Dwarves as they seek to reclaim the Lonely Mountain from the clutches
of Smaug. They'll meet some curious characters along the trail, as well as
ferocious creatures of the surrounding forests and caves. Bilbo will learn
combat skills unknown to other Hobbits. He'll use them in pursuit of Quests and
to help the Dwarves seek their vengeance.

*My notes*
Let me also say, for those of you who just might not know (shudder) that this
was an actual book written by J.R.R. Tolkien and has nothing to do with Peter
Jackson. Sierra (and whoever else worked on this game, Vivendi I guess) did a
very deucedly good job working with the book and getting it close to fact. I
admire them for sticking to the book even though to have made them more like
the Lord of the Rings movies would have brought them more money (I'm talking
about Gollum's voice and things like that). So hurrah to Sierra! If you need a
story line, read the book is all I can say ;)
