A Lord of the Rings-themed randomly generated text adventure game.
A working installation of Python 3 is required to successfully execute this program. https://python.org Linux: Unzip the file and run the python file like so: python LOTR_Adventure.py
Windows: Coming soon.
To defeat a low-level hostile mob such as a wolf or orc, you'll need a weapon such as a dagger. Higher level mobs need higher level weapons such as a bow or sword. Some weapons have prerequisites; you need a quiver in you inventory to use a bow.
Peaceful play means talking to friendly mobs such as ravens or elves, and drinking potions, reading scrolls, etc.
There are legendary mobs in the game, such as Nazgul, Ringwraiths, Balrogs, and witch-kings. You need a legendary item to even have a chance of defeating them.
You can acquire legendary weapons by opening chests with the "LOOTBOX!" command. Even with a legendary weapon, however, you only have a 50% chance of success.
I intend to add additional features:
- Regions such as the fields of Rohan and the depths of Mirkwood, which will influence the randomness.
- Talking to friendly mobs is more interactive
- You can buy powers with points
- Shields increase your chances against legendary mobs
- You have a choice as to where to go next, e.g. "a gate leads out of the area, and there is a path to the southwest."
