Idk, I felt like the story for the games was pretty complete once I finished it. It's a little weird with the whole "Shelob can shapeshift and helps this Gondorian guard get his petty revenge on Sauron" noncanonicity though.

I think it was an OK way to tell a new story with pre existing characters. These games had very little wiggle room because the end result was already dictated by the books.

True. And I do like the games, it just kinda felt a little strange the first time I played the first one.

Baranor is one of my favorite side characters in anything LOTR too.
