In terms of story, the game takes place during the events of The Fellowship of the Ring, the first book of the trilogy. Depending on where you choose to start your journey you will, from time to time, run across characters from the story or at least see references made to them. However, since for your character - time progresses it can lead to the effect of a major Rings character existing in more than one place at the same time. For example, depending on your progress Aragorn can be found both in Bree-land and in Rivendell. Technically, your character won't know that, of course, but just knowing that such an anomaly exists may bother some players. Personally, my only concern is that if one Aragorn meets the other, the presence of the two in the same place at the same time may rip apart the very fabric of Middle-earth. That would be bad.
