I have this completed in my docs, just finishing moving it here when I get home later

while for the desolation of Mordor DLC I have no Idea.

 

[ScottishRyzo]

while for the desolation of Mordor DLC I have no Idea.

I've just put it after the Siege quest line since it ends with the guy heading back to roughly where you meet up with him again in Act II of the main game. As for dating it, the whole thing is such a mire I've just attributed it with the eruption of mount doom so they can stay comfortably between the movie trilogies. At a glance just now the post seems to argue that the events of the game bridge decades but playing through them it really doesn't seem like that right up until the final cutscenes.


I've taken a lot of liberties to try and align as much pieces of media as possible but I think it works alright. At a later time I'll probably tag the continuities but once I've uploaded everything from my docs I'll be leaving it until at least after Rohirrim drops

 

[ScottishRyzo]

also for the lord of the hunt DLC the wiki places it between the fight with the tower of sauron and the end of the game.

Honestly I just figured it happened between the games and that they didn't forge the new ring immediately but if it's in the wiki that's enough for me, prefer not relying on my own judgement calls anyway

 

[iceman109]

I thought Rings of Power was a separate thing from the films

 

[ScottishRyzo]

I thought Rings of Power was a separate thing from the films

It is but it doesn't contradict anything in the rest of the adaptations really

 

[ScottishRyzo]

Oh also

Spoiler

Rings of power clearly takes place over a short time span so I just dated it to the fall of eregion since it's what happened last and is the date for the bright lord. If anyone asks how Celebrimbor can be alive after S2 for the dlc they can dig up Tolkein himself and id still tell him to shut up just as I will you

Remembered the new indy game is out so looks like I'm watching raiders instead so I'll finish this tomorrow. Everything dated upove the question mark line is fully time stamped already

Shouldn't it be later in the Timeline due to Isildur's and Elendil's appearences in TRoP?

 

[ScottishRyzo]

Shouldn't it be later in the Timeline due to Isildur's and Elendil's appearences in TRoP?

RoP compresses a lot of centuries into a few weeks and mixed up the sequence a little for narrative purposes but like I said, I went with the date of the fall of eregion due to Celebrimbor's part in the bright lord DLC being attached to that date.

Plus I have a feeling that S3 will have bit more of a time gap so hopefully this will still work. Isildur and Elendil are of an extraordinarily long lived breed of man so I'm not worried about having them be around earlier

I just felt like compromising with the timelines was the best way to go using the books as a framework. Nothing really contradicts too overtly and it all ultimately tells a part of middle earth's story in the right sequence

 

[jhed13]

I was working this out as well, and sort of what I did for the Rings of Power placement is by working backwards from Isildur's death and just assuming that he's 18-20ish in RoP. Since we know that he was 234 years old when he died in year 2 of the third age.

 

[Pro Bot]

Oh also

Spoiler

Okay, but still. How?

 

[Megatron]

Honestly I just figured it happened between the games and that they didn't forge the new ring immediately but if it's in the wiki that's enough for me, prefer not relying on my own judgement calls anyway

I think the wiki states that cos of Shadow of War happening. Cos before War was released we all thought that the DLC happened After the Main game, as it indicate that some time passed, and since they references the defeat of the tower. (At least I think that's the reason, tho I'm not sure). But then SoW arrived and they changed It to before last mission as War stated that they worked a lot of time on the ring.

I think the time skip at the start makes Sense as Mordor Is fully taken and armed.

Then you can have a time skip in between the games to forge the new ring.

This could work?

 

[ScottishRyzo]

Okay, but still. How?

Honestly idk

Spoiler

The whole dlc takes place between two lines: Celebrimbor's torture and Sauron beating him to death. I couldn't decide whether being full of arrows in S2 was really something an elf couldn't be brought back from by the likes of Sauron given the books didn't have his fall until after the making of the one ring, or if I should've just placed it before his final scene but it was a solid episode I didn't want to break up. When S3 drops I'll probably change it to the latter. Regardless his involvement in the Nazgul flashbacks doesn't even make sense to the game's own timeline so I've just assumed it's his wraith form following Sauron as he was cursed to

Celebrimbor is probably the iffiest aspect of this timeline but I think I've made it work

 

[Pro Bot]

Good enough for me.

 

[Megatron]

so I think this could work:

2942 TE - SoM Intro.

2980 TE - SoM

2999 TE - SoW

3018 TE - SoW Epilogue.

What do you think, @ScottishRyzo ? Could i work or better keep it ambiguous?

 

[Megatron]

now if you want I'll search for other games set in the cinematic universe!

 

[ScottishRyzo]

now if you want I'll search for other games set in the cinematic universe!

Yeah go for it. Got a surprise dinner date I need to get ready for but you've convinced me of the time gap at the start. When I get the chance and I've uploaded where I settled on in my notes we can compare the two and see what works

 

[Megatron]

so going with all the games (avoiding games based on book lore):

1) The Two Thrones and The Return of the king are adaptations of the 2 movies of the same name, IDK if there are some original levels set between scenes of the movies.

https://lotr.fandom.com/wiki/The_Lord_of_the_Rings:_The_Two_Towers_(video_game)
https://lotr.fandom.com/wiki/The_Lord_of_the_Rings:_The_Return_of_the_King_(video_game)
2) The Third Age, is about a back up group following the fellowship, so an original story:

https://lotr.fandom.com/wiki/The_Lord_of_the_Rings:_The_Third_Age
3) The Battle for Middle-Earth, same as point 1, tho IDK if the evil campaign has some levels that could be considered canon, or it's just a what if?:

https://lotr.fandom.com/wiki/The_Lord_of_the_Rings:_The_Battle_for_Middle-earth
4) Tactics, same as point 3, tho the wiki doesn't talk about the synopsis of the evil campaign so idk if it's a full what if? Or not.

https://lotr.fandom.com/wiki/The_Lord_of_the_Rings:_Tactics
5) The Battle for Middle-Earth II, original story set during the Trilogy, tho it happens in the Norther Regions as we see the actual campaign of the war of the ring (the fellowship travels in the south regions), again IDK if the evil campaign is a full What if?:

https://lotr.fandom.com/wiki/The_Lord_of_the_Rings:_The_Battle_for_Middle-earth_II
6) The Rise of the Witch-King is an expansion pack of point 5 and tells the story of how the Witch-King of Angman raised to power:

https://lotr.fandom.com/wiki/The_Lo...r_Middle-earth_II:_The_Rise_of_the_Witch-king
7) Online + expansions, this game is an Harry Potter situation, it uses the lore of the novels with the looks of the movies so I don't really know if it's canon:

https://lotr.fandom.com/wiki/The_Lord_of_the_Rings_Online
8) Conquest, is the battlefront of TLOTR and it is exactly like battlefront 2 (2005), some levels are adaptations, some others are original stories, like the battle at Moria, also the evil campaign is a full What If? So it's not-canon:

https://lotr.fandom.com/wiki/The_Lord_of_the_Rings:_Conquest
9) Rise to War, I don't know anything, but the game is set in the latter years of the TE, so at least it has a plot:

https://lotr.fandom.com/wiki/The_Lord_of_the_Rings:_Rise_to_War
This is everything that I found.

This is everything that I found.

I read somewhere that the upcoming Tales of the Shire: A "The Lord of the Rings" Game is based on the films (though designs don't quite fit, see Gandalf).

Personally, I don't consider Online as part of the "Middle-Earth Cinematic Universe". It's much closer to the books

 

[ScottishRyzo]

1) The Two Thrones and The Return of the king are adaptations of the 2 movies of the same name, IDK if there are some original levels set between scenes of the movies.

I won't be doing these ones as much as I remember enjoying the latter as a kid because I distinctly remember it just being the same as the movie

2) The Third Age, is about a back up group following the fellowship, so an original story:

This I'll do when I go through it all again for Rohirrim

3) The Battle for Middle-Earth, same as point 1, tho IDK if the evil campaign has some levels that could be considered canon, or it's just a what if?:

I'll have a look for anything original that fits but I'll probably leave any what ifs for an honourable mention for now at least

4) Tactics, same as point 3, tho the wiki doesn't talk about the synopsis of the evil campaign so idk if it's a full what if? Or not.

Same as before

5) The Battle for Middle-Earth II, original story set during the Trilogy, tho it happens in the Norther Regions as we see the actual campaign of the war of the ring (the fellowship travels in the south regions), again IDK if the evil campaign is a full What if?:

This puts me in mind of war in the north. Both seem to have an extremely similar first act but war seems to begin to use OC stand ins for almost the exact same events as the rest of this

6) The Rise of the Witch-King is an expansion pack of point 5 and tells the story of how the Witch-King of Angman raised to power:

I had seen this and was already thinking of it as the part of the timeline it's set is pretty empty here

8) Conquest, is the battlefront of TLOTR and it is exactly like battlefront 2 (2005), some levels are adaptations, some others are original stories, like the battle at Moria, also the evil campaign is a full What If? So it's not-canon:

I'll have a look at maybe using the original aspects then

9) Rise to War, I don't know anything, but the game is set in the latter years of the TE, so at least it has a plot:

Same as before

 

[ScottishRyzo]

I read somewhere that the upcoming Tales of the Shire: A "The Lord of the Rings" Game is based on the films (though designs don't quite fit, see Gandalf).

The designs won't really be a deal breaker for me here as long as it fits and isn't just a retelling of events we've already seen unless it's a particularly good one

Personally, I don't consider Online as part of the "Middle-Earth Cinematic Universe". It's much closer to the books

Same at first glance, but I'll see what I can find for it while I'm doing it too since you seem to be near events rather than taking part in an alternate account of them

 

[ScottishRyzo]

Aha what, it's just hobbit simulator

Does no one know the English countryside still exists outside of new Zealand film sets?

Yeah that's perfect, I'd been thinking of a simplified one when I'd finished the timestamps and polishing up the formatting. Doing this on my phone passively while watching TV just now.

 

[ScottishRyzo]

I'm thinking that we might end up having to choose between battle of middle earth II and war in the north

I watched a pretty thorough play through of the main quests in war in the north on YouTube and it really seems that the developers only had the rights to adapt from the fellowship appendixes because after your return to Rivendell the rest of the game is just an original version of events mentioned in return of the king but with different names. Battle however seems to more accurately depict the rest of it according to the wiki despite stuff like Bombadil being an active participant which I find more lore breachy than anything I've seen in a Tolkein adaptation yet

 

[Megatron]

Yeah that's perfect, I'd been thinking of a simplified one when I'd finished the timestamps and polishing up the formatting. Doing this on my phone passively while watching TV just now.

so the games you took as canon are:

- The Third Age
- The Battle for Middle-Earth II
- The Rise of the Witch-King
- Conquest

Unknown:

- The Battle for Middle-Earth
- Tactics
- Rise of War

Non-Canon

- The Two Towers
- The Return of the King
- Online

It's that right? Cos If you want I can do the simplified order for you, so when you finish the detailed timeline, you have just to copy it.

is there a possibility of both being canon?
