comment |
Canon Foreigner: Quite a few, the main fellowship and most of their newfound allies and enemies. Agandaûr might be a Canon Character All Along if he's to be equated with a messenger of Sauron mentioned by Dain, as he fulfils the exact same role for the Dwarves of Nordinbad. Since this game is set in the film continuity and Farin's backstory states that he fought in the Battle of Five Armies, it's likely that he is one of the Dwarf soldiers in Dain's army in The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, which could potentially make him a Canon Immigrant. |

comment |
Mythology Gag: The conversation between Urgost and Agandaûr is almost identical to that between Dain and The Mouth of Sauron. You can ask Bilbo how to deal with a dragon; doing so opens an optional dialogue tree that allows you to flatter Urgost in the same way Bilbo flattered Smaug in The Hobbit. |

Broad Strokes |
| | War in the North (Video Game) / int_547196be |
comment |
Broad Strokes: The game is set in the film continuity, although a few details are ignored (and as of the film adaptations of The Hobbit, obsolete). For example, Arwen's struggle with choosing a mortal life is mentioned only briefly and Elrond doesn't seem to be in any hurry to sail westward. Radagast is an interesting case, he appears drastically different here to The Hobbit trilogy as it was still in development at the time. A particularly Egregious moment occurs when Elrond describes the War of the Dwarves and Orcs to the heroes, particularly how Azog was killed by Dain Ironfoot during the war like in the books, which is something that was changed when the Hobbit films came out. |

Gainax Ending: The ending cutscene occurs right upon conclusion with the battle with Agandaûr. It also coincides with the final defeat of Sauron, when Gollum is dumped into the lava of Mount Doom. The three heroes say a few lines apiece, then decide to head back to Rivendell, while Urgost takes Carn Dum to be his lair. And...that's it. |

comment |
As You Know: Partway through the game, there is an optional quest to obtain Athelas for a sick ranger. Upon curing him, all three characters can engage him in conversation about the Dunedain and their history. The problem is that each character can ask the same questions, meaning that all three of them are completely clueless about such characters as Elendil. This is arguably forgivable with Farin, since he's a dwarf, and probably not privy to Numenorian lore; less so with Andriel and Eradan — Eradan is a Dunedain Ranger, and Andriel is an elf of Rivendell (a place where such lore would seem to be common knowledge). |
