Tolkien was specifically writing his books and naming his characters the way he was to fit certain European conceptual images dating back hundreds to thousands of years.
Yea, and I was pretty bummed to discover that Gandalf was, in fact, a Dwarf. Originally.

(ok, a dwarf that uses a magic staff, so what?)

These two statements seem at odds with each other.
Not really. I like FO4's environment and the immersion offered there but my ass isn't going into every terminal to read up on every person in the environment. You know my lazy ass is also skipping over half the dialog cutscenes.

Single player games are the only ones I actually read all that stuff in. MMOs, I couldn't give a fuck, though to be fair, most MMOs suck top to bottom.

I knew Thrall was our leader. And uh... something about Illidan made everyone love him. Cause he had twin blades? I must say, they're pretty sweet.

Why did we kill Onyxia twice?

It was stated that yes boxing will be allowed, however they feel it will be naturally discouraging due to complex game mechanics.

Yeah, the game is going to be so complex and so engaging that nobody will be able to multi-box effectively. Hell, nobody willwantto! And gosh darn it I believe it!

I enjoy the surface lore. Like, some human killed some dark elf, started a war and now there are continual skirmishes in X part of the world. I don't need to know all the names or dates, but knowing that everything isn't just totally random and that there is a reason everything exists does enhance the immersion.

I understand having some lore as a framing device, to explain certain areas, dungeons, loot, factions, etc. But what usually winds up happening are a bunch of people who don't have the talent to write a porn script get together and try to write some cheesy lore to explain why there's turmoil in their world and how "you're the hero!"
