Ruthiel has said he has heard you will be able to ride in carts/wagons to go from place to place, and he was wondering if it will be user controlled or a short cutscene? I haven't heard anything, and am not sure what people have heard as well, so..discuss.

I assume that you will have control over where you are going and what you are doing. But maybe only certain races will be able to do this like hobbits and possibly humans. It wouldn't fit in if elves were hitchhiking across middle earth in wagons. I CAN'T WAIT FOR HORSE'S THOUGH!!!!!!!!

Looks like a Cart in there, I could be mistaken. Yeah if your a farmer you will want to transport goods .

Remeber, your screenshots aren't saying if it's NPC or a PC..so, just keep that in mind. I mean, from the looks of that, a cart could be just something that looks nice, and is ridden rarely, or it could be a farmer's main source of transportation. Who knows..heh.

I got this from www.middle-earthonline.com/?section=faq ..... How will characters travel from place to place? Players will be able to walk across the landscape of Middle-earth, or use a variety of accelerated travel options once they have unlocked them. These options will allow players to gather quickly for group events, and will be presented as cut scenes featuring a boat, wagon, or other lore appropriate conveyance.

well that answers the question. But i hope that when u get horses its not a cut scene. Because that would suck.

There is a discussion on cutscenes when travelling long distances on MEO. I personally think there should be cutscenes enabled if you want to get somwhere fast, to meet up with your mates and things. But I also feel there should be an option to control travelling long distances, so you can explore and see more of the world.

I think it would be very unrealistic if you could travel the whole of middle earth in a cut scene, so i hope that the carts can only go certain distances.

It will really ruin peoples quests if you travel on horses in a cut scene, there would be no chases in the country , no being attacked on a mission.

I think there will be an option to travel fast in a cut-scene and travel manually. Remeber every inch of ME is being recreated in this game, so not ALL travels will have cutscenes. Travelling fast is good if you cant be bothered to be attacked/spend tim travelling for 30 mins and be killed when your at the gate of where you want to be. Also to meet friends fast .

Yes but think of how unrealistic it would be. It would take away the glory of MEO. I am almost certain that horses will not be a cutscene though.

The game can't be totally realistic as it is based on a fantasy world which is not real. Cutscenes would be an advantage because you can use them if you want, if you find you think it is not true to Tolkien simply disable the cutscene while travelling.

I think that there should be cutscene rides accross certain routes like "from Buckland to Bree" and stuff like that. But not from "Mordor to Lorien" cos that would suck. And Elkith you knew what i meant when i said realsistic so don't try and be clever.

Here we go again . LoL. Stop arguing. How can that possible be 'being clever', I am telling you that they cannot make eveything realsitic as it is a fantasy game. Yeah and cutscenes like 'to Mordor to Lothlorien' would suck because if you were travelling from Mordor, you would miss out on lots of nice Orc fights .
