Q: How will the combat system be handled for The Third Age?
A: The combat system is turn-based. By moving towards a more measured combat system (as compared to EA's previous Lord of the Rings games The Return of the King and The Two Towers) we allow players to more fully understand and appreciate the value of the customizations and skills they've developed for their characters. I think the linkage between the combat system and the inventory/skill systems is key to making a good RPG.
