Jeff Anderson opened up the show with a bit about upcoming changes including a bit on the intro movie (which is very cool by the way) and different cinematic scenes your character will experience throughout their adventures. The game mechanics allow for non-player characters (NPCs) along the way to know who you are and how you have been helping in Middle-earth. An example that Jeff gave us is that if you are a low level Elf and you decide to run all the way to Rivendell to meet Elrond, he is going to look at you and say "Who are you?" However, if you are the correct level elf and have gone through the quests and epic adventures then when you get to Rivendell and see Elrond again, he will remember you and talk to you as someone he remembers. Now how does this affect the cinematic scenes? Well as you adventure on you will be completing epic adventures out that affect the Fellowship of the Ring. So we will know how things are progressing in regards to the setting the stage for the Fellowship.
