>killed the second most powerful being in middle earth and ascended their wizard*
fixed
Wizard solo'd and everybody else ran with their tails between their legs. Plus nobody knew he'd come back.
Just took a small break. Got tired of the hobbits even when he says he likes them. Also didn't like Boromir's drama antics.
>gandalf solos the second most powerful being, then ascends
why didn't he solo saruman then?
Literally because he wasn't allowed to by the higher-ups in the ranks of the powers-that-be.
Balrogs are corrupted angels on the same level as sauron and gandalf, sauron and morgoth's main power lied in influencing others to fight for them, so while a number of other Maiar could probably solo Sauron they couldn't defeat his armies. By destroyign the ring they take away sauron's influence and all the evil things flee, Evil things that were ensnared out of the sheer terror they had of sauron.
Sauron and morgoth were min maxed charisma characters with specialties in transmutation, not frontline warriors. Balrogs and dragons are weapons of mass destruction that morgoth created so by encountering one it's like the lifting of the geneva convention and gandalf commits warcrimes against it by using his wizard powers because they have been twisted into being pure evil.
Valar respect Sauron for being one of them because middle earth is entirely within fate's hands meaning if sauron was acting against them at least in part it was the will of the supreme one.
So overtly crushing him would somehow alter creation itself.
meant sauron
Sauron took 1000s of years to recoup after a death while Gandalf only took a few, the difference in their power level is obvious even if Sauron doesn't have the ring.
>second most powerful being in middle earth
Not even remotely close.
If we go by what was written, its the big god > little gods > the handmaiden of one of those gods (explictly stated to be the strongest of the race gandalf and the like are from) > a random elf > a random spider > the ebil god > his shitty follower (Sauron) with his rings > ascended gayzards (the handmaiden was one of these) > unascended gayzards > another random spider > balrog > the rest
The shitty elven queen just got her power from an artifact and all it let her do is hide like a b***h
Mary pippins power was never stated
did you completely miss the part where anon said "in middle earth", none of those other beings are even remotely close to middle earth.
That order is completely wrong btw.
Fix it for me bro I haven't read anything tolkien in 17 years
Melkor/Morgoth was the mightiest of the Ainur, so he was the second greatest being in the setting in terms of power, especially in terms of destruction. Some of the Balrog were beings so terrible that even the Maiar and the greatest elves struggled (and often lost) against them.
>he was the second greatest being in the setting in terms of power
>I-Is that a spider?! AHHHH balrog army pls save me!
Aw come on, you know it was more complex than that.
>halls of torment
Easily.
>you now realize there will never again be an adventuring band of nine white men in popular media
There's only two men though.
Hobbits are just short white people.
Dwarves are short and bulky white people.
Elves are white people with pointy ears.
moron
His post aligns with JRR Tolkien's actual headcanon tho
Black people are just white people with dark skin.
>Gandalf repeatedly uses teleportation power in The Hobbit
>doesn't just teleport to Mordor with the ring and throw it into Mount Doom
Was Gandalf moronic or did Peter Jackson just asspull some bullshit out of sheer laziness?
Didn't watch Hobbit, but there's no teleportation. And according to the book after the Nazgul were swept away by the flood halfway through Fellowship, their clothing was destroyed rendering them incorporeal and they can't outfit themselves so they had to hike all the way to Mordor on foot before they could do their jobs again.
>doesn't just teleport to Mordor with the ring and throw it into Mount Doom
The power of the ring grows depending on who (or what) holds it. It's been a while since I've read the books but unless I'm mistaken one of the reasons the ring is so "weak" in the Lord of the Rings is because of the many years while Gollum had it. Gollum is a hobbit and one of the weaker races in the world with weak willpower, therefore the ring also gets weaker.
Even in the first movie Gandalf says that if he gets to hold the ring, it's destructive power would be unimaginable which is why Frodo had to bear the ring in the first place, he's the weakest of the group. This is partially also why the eagles didn't just carry the ring to mordor (aside from the Eye and the Nazgul finding them mid-flight), the ring would grow in strenght and take over the holder.
>and throw it into Mount Doom
The funny thing is, that one power of the ring can't be diminished, is that sentient being literally unable to willingly throw the ring to its demise into mount doom. The ring is indestructible not just because it was made in mount doom but because no one who has the ring CAN destroy it, which is why it gets destroyed by frodo and gollum fighting over it and they both fall down. The fall of the ring wasn't intentional, the ring fell because both of them genuinely wanted to hold the ring.
The reason the eagles didn't fly Frodo to Mordor was that the Nazgul are faster, and they would have seen them coming.
And a single poison arrow put the Eagle's leader out of comission once.
>The fall of the ring wasn't intentional, the ring fell because both of them genuinely wanted to hold the ring
and a little push from not-god
*christian God, as stated by Tolkien himself, repeatedly.
yeah, i couldn't be arsed to search the proper name in-universe
Frodo offered Gandalf the ring, and he refused. He also offered it to Galadriel, who told him to not tempt her with its power. The more powerful a person is, the more powerful the sway of the One Ring over them is.
Gandalf told Frodo he would try to "remedy" Middle Earth if he had the ring. With time, he would destroy everything thinking he was doing good.
Galadriel would probably just murder everyone and enslave lesser races.
Anyone wise enough wouldn't want the One Ring, because Evil cannot create anything, only destroy.
The ring is like a hard counter to power. Powerful beings are explicitly more vulnerable.
Not just that but hobbits are more pure of heart with their backward ways. It really felt like a love letter to the rural Brits.
>Galadriel would probably just murder everyone and enslave lesser races.
Hot, evil Cate Blanchett Galadriel woulda been wonderful.
Sauron was the same type of being as Gandalf is. If Gandalf had the ring he'd become just as much of a problem.
if you're mama had a wienera, she'd be a dada
Hobbit movies are absolutely garbage trash, the first one basically caused me to walk out of the theater. No teleportation exists in the world afaik, but definitely not from gandalf in the hobbit and the lotr trilogy
Don't try too hard to fit in The Hobbit with the rest of the LOTR universe. It was conceived as a standalone children's fairy tale and it shows
>lotr gays keep saying how Saruman and Gandalf are literal God beings with unlimited power
>their fight is them just force pushing eachother a bit
>Saruman gets shanked by a regular guy and then falls on a spike and dies
Am I missing something here?
You're forgetting that they are both effectively immortal with a respawn timer.
When saruman dies (in the book) he tries to go home to respawn, but becauae he turned to evil, the gods were like "lol, no" and blew his dust to the wind.
Night City would eat them up.
Gandalf solos
Yeah I guess. I was playing England into Angevin so despite not knowing anything they could probably just sit on the island until 1821 doing frick all.
>Fellowship in Bloodborne
Seeing as how the whole reviving process is tied to Hunters in the HD theres a possibility they can't. Hunter enemies and bosses use something nobody in this verse has an answer to: firearms. As fast and adept as Legolas or Aragorn are I doubt they can react to a bullet. Meanwhile, Hunters can. Otherwise they're just killing mutated beastmen, aberrations and other bullshit, something Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli and a veteran of the conflict with Morgoth such as Gandalf can do.
They would get utterly annihilated. But I do think it's time to re-watch this movie.
I don't get the powerlevels in this series. Gandalf is said to be top-tier but doesn't really do anything to show it, the ring is supposedly super OP but it just makes you invisible, and at the end Aragorn just pulls a ghost army out of his ass that wins the war for him.
Gandalf, Sauron, and the Balrog are all the same type of creature.
>Gandalf is said to be top-tier but doesn't really do anything to show it
The only time Gandalf ever displayed his full power was against a comparable foe who served a higher power i.e. Durin's Bane and he died in the conflict. Otherwise hes supposed to advise and can do minor magic.
>the ring is supposedly super OP but it just makes you invisible
The ring can control the will's of others in the hands of its owner Sauron, otherwise it does nothing to mortals but drive them mad, make them invisible and halt aging to a degree.
>and at the end Aragorn just pulls a ghost army out of his ass that wins the war for him
All they do in the books is scare off some pirates and help comes from the other rangers and Gondorian reinforcements. Their role in the movie is grossly exaggerated.
>Otherwise hes supposed to advise and can do minor magic
why?
Gandalf is basically equivalent to an angel, his role was to find the whereabouts of the ring and guide it towards its destruction. Along side him a few other """angels""" (wizards in the story) came, two blue wizards, Radagast the Brown or however you spell it, and Sauruman. They all shared the same task, but only Gandalf was able to resist the corruption of Sauron. It's been a while since I read the story but that very broadly what goes down.
wrong on all counts
Ok, why don't you tell me how I'm wrong, because I am quite interested. As of now it kind of sounds like you're bullshitting.
Figure it out yourself.
my favorite kind of Ganker poster
I swear Ganker shitposting is getting lazier and dumber every year.
You're just getting more emotional
Ok, so you have no way to back up your claims thanks for clarifying.
Trolled
Ring adapts to race and desire. Hobbits like to hide and run away which is why they turn invisible. If human uses it then they get OP.
Isildur turned invisible.
No, the reason for the invisibility is that it places you halfway into the Wraith world.
Gandalf is only supposed to assist, the rings power is corruption in pursuit of it's own goal (returning to Sauron), the ghost army is bullshit, and they could've gone to Mordor with the eagles help. Failing that Glorfindel could've walked them right up to Mt Doom without breaking a sweat.
>Glorfindel could've walked them right up to Mt Doom without breaking a sweat
Who?
An elf who saves Frodo at the river crossing and was replaced by Arwen in the movie. He's like Legolas but even more ridiculous.
The only reason the ring was destroyed because of mostly good-matured, ambitionless mini-humans who cracked until the very end when divine intervention truly lead to the ring's destruction. People talk about eagles but its capable of affecting animals or beings of higher intelligence, the eagles are sapient. It would've certainly corrupted one of them or the Fellowship while flying. Toss it into the sea, the thing has a mind of its own. It languished for thousands of years, deep beneath the mountains in a lightless cavern with a deranged Hobbit and still found its way to the surface. A sea creature would pick it up, that thing would get caught by fishermen who kill each other to take to Sauron.
>It languished for thousands of years, deep beneath the mountains in a lightless cavern with a deranged Hobbit
It was 500 years.
Toss it into the sea and it would be lost, so Sauron would be free to roll over the world with his colossal war machine.
>singlehandedly kills a balrog
>dies in the process but the valar decide he's such a badass that he gets to be revived
>disallowed from going with the fellowship because he's so overpowered that he would've brought too much attention to them
The story of the lord of the rings is rife with 'should've's. If Elrond, Gandalf, and Galadriel all mustered their forces and maybe got some humans along the way from Gondor or Rohan or the rangers for good measure, they literally couldn't be stopped. Frick the easterlings, frick the haradrim, frick the nazgul, frick the orcs. Sauron was a b***h.
Oh and all this is pointless anyway because Eru was never going to let Sauron win anyway. Sauron was inferior to Morgoth and if Sauron beat everyone in middle earth, Eru would've just shaken the proverbial etch-a-sketch and said "not uh".
>The story of the lord of the rings is rife with 'should've's.
There's so much detail to it that people forget it's still a story, and structured like a story.
>Gandalf is said to be top-tier but doesn't really do anything to show it
Restrictions, both Valar and Maiar are total morons when it comes to collateral damage
>Gandalf is said to be top-tier but doesn't really do anything to show it
Other than solo a fricking Balrog

>believing the words of someone who did NOTHING but lie every single time he says something

They both fell and Gandalf fricking went murder-hobo on the Balrog mid-fall, on their way down. Gandalf died (and earned his right to be reincarnated at +1 power level) because of the fall and the way he sacrified himself to off the thing.
Did you read the books or watch the movie?

No one who holds the ring has any power. The ring is Sauron. All of the powers of the ring are Sauron's powers. The only way to control the ring is by being stronger than Sauron. Otherwise the ring is simply doling out tendies and offering hints of Sauron's angelic power until it betrays you.
>elden ring
Yeah? Gandalf is pretty strong already and if they can levelup like a tarnished they'll destroy everything
Yes, I played For Honor.

Ganker will never cope with the fact you need to wake up pretty early in the morning to poke holes in or otherwise pull one over on Tolkien.
Ganker likes Tolkien. Only absolute nasty frickers don't. And sometimes a few of them show up here (it's Ganker after all).
Untrue. Ganker historically has had nothing but contempt for Tolkien and his works.
I've been here for over a decade and I do not believe you.
I will stand alone then and proclaim my love for The Children of Hurin
I know you love children
Only for his luddite homosexualry
That's the reason any of his works exist so it's still true
I am sure theres a bot or third-worlder stupid enough to hate Tolkien but they’re in the minority. Most of this board loves LOTR and the Hobbit and the tie-in games of the Jackson movies.
Who is 'most'?
>Untrue. Ganker historically has had nothing but contempt for Tolkien and his works.
Prove it.
How?
>ummmmm, ackshually sweetie, Ganker was always uncultured and couldn't appreciate anything
>Ganker was always leftist until 2016

Ganker was never your leftist playground, even when it went through it's libertarian homosexualry phase
>Fire Emblem
yeah, probably.
Lyn alone moves fastest than human perception despite being a mediocre unit and would solo them in seconds, nevermind a unit that isn't trash. Your regular knight in FE literally takes 0 damage from half the things hitting him sufficently leveled.
Dumb secondary, half of those characters are alive in middle earth, they just choose not to get involved.
Giant spider 1 dies like 50 years later in a non-canon story (probably non-canon because that spider solo'd Sauon's leader yet dies to a mortal elf)
and aragorn kills 50 orcs without getting hit
if they get to use the dragon effective weapons for the final boss they'll be fine
>Aragorn killed 50 shittily armored jobbers
>This means he can take people who can tank greataxes to the face with 0 damage, fly, turn into dragons, move so fast its basically teleporting, summon ghosts, etc
No, they get bodied.
The level of power in FE is miles above LoTR in general
Calm down autist
you're being moronic, aragorn 1v1s a troll and the animations you're referring to are just cosmetic. despite "MOVING SO FAST ITS BASICALLY TELEPORTING" lyn still has 5 mov and gets hit by the faceless jobbers of her own world 20-80% of the time depending on whether they're wielding a spear or an axe and still only deals 8x2 damage to unarmored targets
give gimli the wolf beil or a hammer and he'll go to town on the armor knights in fe7
>If I wank Aragorn and pretend the FE cast are weaker than they are he could kill the third weakest mc in the series
Wow
nobody is wanking any characters except for you
if aragorn can 1v50 and not get hit then he must have 80+ avo in FE terms which means he has like 25 speed 30 luck
he also tussles with a massive armored troll which is demonstrated to be some kind of 30 str 20 def monstrosity which normal humans cannot even tickle with weapons
GBA FE and Jacksonverse lotr protags are on roughly the same power level
>if aragorn can 1v50
Jobbers.
Any given knight in FE can solo more than that.
>He must have 80+ avoid to dodge shit enemies that literally just job
Not how it works
>Scaling FE's anime characters to Aragorn fighting trolls
???
He hurts them with his sword, he doesn't wrestle trolls, the frick are you on about.
Show me Aragorn getting hit in the face with an axe and walking it off.
Show me Aragorn moving faster than is visible.
They literally can't beat even a single pegusus knight unless said knight specifically goes out of its way to be in range of Legolas.
Frick are you talking about.
FE is full of characters stronger than the entire fellowship right at the start. Mostly knights.
>Not how it works
it literally is how it works you contrarian fricking homosexual swords have 80 base hit in fe7
he kills it with his sword which clearly means he can damage the armored characters in fe, maybe he would lose to a max level Oswin but he could certainly defeat the shitty generals that you have to kill in order to actually beat fe7 which was the fricking question
>They literally can't beat even a single pegusus knight unless said knight specifically goes out of its way to be in range of Legolas.
now you're just being completely moronic
>He can hit shitty orcs with his sword
>This means he can harm the tankiest characters in FE who are intentionally overpowered to trick you into using them to solo half the game
Not how it works.
A random thief in FE can kill another random thief, doesn't mean he can hurt those knights.
Do you even think before you post?
for the last time you do not need to kill "the tankiest characters in FE" to beat FE, you just need to stomp some 14 def generals. if he can pick up an armorslayer he can kill them with 0 str
No he can't.
He moves in, fails to hurt a guy in full platemail on a horse, gets shot by an archer flying above him, bleeds out and dies, while his crew of like 4 dudes who can fight at at all have to fight a literal entire army more superhuman than them.
there are no flying archers in fe7 you annoying homosexual play video games
The guy said FE, he did not say FE7. I just mentioned Lyn as an example of a weak shitty character who sucks yet would still solo the fellowship.
I am that guy
I said Fire Emblem
this game is called Fire Emblem and it is the last game I played and the Fellowship could clear it
harder games in the series, they might not be able to clear. for instance RD where everyone is an overpowered homosexual by the end
Wouldn't even make it past the tutorial.
>Legolas, help, these archers know how to aim
>Ahhhhh
try reading
Can't Aragorn made all the trees attack his enemies for him because he can't win a war himself
Right, not that anon, but you can somewhat translate the feats from the movie to FE stats and it comes out not too shabby.
I feel like some scaling would happen. They'd at least be on par or higher than the average human foot soldier from an army, the only issue is taking levels into account..
Gameplay and story segregation. Like this, the dancer from FE Awakening, maybe you can turn her into an amazing tank at high level that can take 50 axes to the face in-game but outside of gameplay she can still die if stabbed by a knife.
The LotR party shouldn't have trouble with basic enemies. However once they do start using skills and cutscene superpowers then yeah, they'd probably struggle a lot and not fully clear the game.
>I feel like some scaling would happen
That's not the question.
The question is can they beat the cast of the last game you played. He said they can take on flying knights, dragons, people who can teleport, better mages than Gandalf, guys in full plate mail who take 0 damage from better weapons than the entire LoTR cast sans Sauron use, etc.
He didn't say
"Could they beat those if we take pity on LOTR because its weak"
the question was whether they could clear it, not whether they could beat the protags of the game in a fight
if your ideal version of the fe7 cast is everyone leveled up to 20/20 with all of their stats maxed then yeah that's probably stronger than the fellowship but also that's way, way, way stronger than your party needs to be in order to actually beat the game
the only question is whether they'd be able to deal with the fire dragon at the very end, like I said that comes down to whether Anduril has effective damage against dragons or whatever, if not then they'd need to buy a wyrmslayer along the way or else they'd be boned
Well then it's a matter of how much you wank FE heroes, I'd say they should be taken as level 1 or just a little higher, right when you recruit them without additional boosts from the player, otherwise it's like giving a Sauron ring to everyone from LotR and having Gandalf / Legolas train everyone in the party.
once again, middle earth is not the name of the universe, its a specific part of the planet Arda where the story takes place. half of those things you listed are across the great sea or out in space somewhere
Valinor is not in Middle Earth you fricking moron

Thanks for proving him right, ESL mutt.
I don't want to be too autistic but the Ainur are no gods, Tolkien made that an important point. Ilúvatar is the one and only god.
You're using autism as a buzzword bro, you're autistic.

I don't know, man. You're the one sperging out and flaunting your knowledge of literal fanfiction trash you probably didn't even read yourself and looked up on a wiki instead.
Browns unfortunately ruin culture and discussion wherever they go. The way their heads are wired makes them incompatible with good natured communication.
Quick rundown on these homos? Why are there FIVE manlets?
I know you're joking but we're entering a decade where people will genuinely not know anything about Tolkien or his works.
there were supposed to be 6 but you couldn't make it
>Blasphemous
I don't know I have only beaten the tutorial boss, played 1 hour or so. Seems like a setting they could get used to, but probably die... Like right now I'm in some snowy mountains and I'm fairly sure the multiple walking stone statues and flying ghost reapers would be too tough to handle for the humans, but Ganondorf might hard-carry. Maybe Legolas can snipe the bells on the ghosts, and the midget could be strong enough to break the stone soldiers?
But again no clue against the bosses, from what I remember they didn't really beat the Balrog in combat.
Now the actual game I played all night long was Dark Souls 2, now THAT would be an epic quest for them. They probably clear if they're allowed to revive in bonfires. If scaled to DS2, they probably have enough str, mag and dex for a nice level 30~60 build.

Not a chance, even if they were linked into a Nomai memory statue.
They're from a world of magic and gods suddenly put up against cold hard physics and a universe that doesn't give a frick. They won't even be able to translate the Nomai language so they'd never be able to figure out why the loop is happening, let alone the reasons for this "strange spell" existing in the first place.
>Titanfall 2
I think 8/9 of them don't have an answer to getting shot at so I'd say no
>genshin
yeah, but it would cause this board to call them all homos.
>Diablo IV
Yeah, not sure on that one.
Gandalf, Aragorn (Return of the King), Legolas, Boromir, and Gimli as a five stack in Dota would be pretty impressive. One of the interesting things about the Ancients is that they work to level the playing field for the wide range of power levels that the heroes have. Characters like Tusk and Bristleback are just regular dudes, yet can go toe to toe with aspects of nature and reality itself with no issues. That gives Boromir and Gimli a significant leg up.

>devil survivor 2
Not a fricking chance
>BG3
Maybe? I think it would be the same difficulty as their movie world, so probably.
>tfw read The Sea-Bell/Frodo's Dreme after finishing The Grey Havens
Name one character that suffered more than Frodo. You can't.
>The song of Lúthien before Mandos was the song most fair that ever in words was woven, and the song most sorrowful that ever the world shall hear. Unchanged, imperishable, it is sung still in Valinor beyond the hearing of the world, and listening the Valar are grieved. For Lúthien wove two themes of words, of the sorrow of the Eldar and the grief of Men, of the Two Kindreds that were made by Ilúvatar to dwell in Arda, the Kingdom of Earth amid the innumerable stars. And as she knelt before him her tears fell upon his feet like rain upon stones; and Mandos was moved to pity, who never before was so moved, nor has been since.
>and Mandos was moved to pity, who never before was so moved, nor has been since.
Absolute fricking kino after all the buildup of who Mandos is in the Silmarillion.
shieeet we really wuz kangz all along
>Aragorn, Kang of Gondor
>BG3
In early levels they would be okay, in high killed probably
On the flip side, I don't think any of the bg3 companions could get the ring to Mt Doom.
>Cursed ring that requires continuous wisdom saves
If the hag's masks has taught me anything, is that no matter how high the bonuses, you will fail it at one point
Yes, even the good ones wouldn't resist the corruption
Thinking better Maybe Gandalf can do well if he can learn D&D spells, wizards are most in lore
It's a 20 minute game with no failstate, so yes.
>Portal 2
Ok, do they get the portal guns?
HOI4 as Fash Finland, think they'd do fine.
just finished watching all the extended edition movies
read all three books last year
I got depressed aftewards both times because there's less and less storytelling like this out there anymore
japanese games kinda have the same spirit but it's not the same
I'm sad now...
troons and other degenerates deserve the rope for destroying what little good culture we had left...
if trans people are capable of totally destroying a culture by just existing then was it really worth saving?
Trannies destroy culture by proxy due to infiltrating powerful positions and controlling a narrative, a narrative that in turn is spun by even more insidious people.
I hate you troony obsessed foreign shills so much it’s unreal.
YWNBAW
I can smell your rotten axewound through the screen, "sister".
>troons and other degenerates deserve the rope for destroying what little good culture we had left...
jews
troons are just an effect
Tolkien’s stories aren’t mystery boxes. His characters have a very clear idea of what is asked of them, even if they have no idea how to accomplish it. At the Council of Elrond, Frodo says, “I will take the Ring, though I do not know the way.” Tolkien’s heroes can take on what seem like hopeless duties—Frodo cannot guarantee that his quest will succeed, but, day by day, he chooses not to fail it. Instead of building the drama around Frodo’s long-term plans and stratagems, Tolkien treats each moment of temptation and choosing as epic in itself.
Aragorn's rise to power also wasn't so simple as 'he showed up to save the day at the Battle of the Pelennor Fields and has the royal sword & looks to be King, so the Gondorians made him King by default'. Tolkien implies or outright shows him working pretty hard for the crown over most of his life, actually.
Before the events of LOTR itself, Aragorn journeyed to Gondor as a young ranger and spent 23 years working for Ecthelion II, Denethor's father and predecessor, under the alias 'Thorongil', showing the lords and commoners of Gondor that he was an effective leader and gaining their admiration. In so doing, he also gets to learn firsthand how Gondorian society works and what makes its people (from the lower levels of society up to the magnates and Denethor's court) tick.
Aragorn did the same with Théoden's father Thengel of Rohan and so forms strong personal ties with the leaders of that kingdom, a powerful and long-time ally of Gondor, also well before he returns to Minas Tirith to potentially claim anything. In addition he's friends with an elven prince (Legolas), a literal angel in wizard's clothing (Gandalf) and a kinsman to the Dwarven kings (Gimli).
He healed people during & after the Battle of the Pelennor Fields (healing hands are said to be another mark of kingship), including Faramir: this despite Faramir being the nominal Steward of Gondor after Denethor kills himself, and thus a direct rival for Aragorn's claim to rule Gondor if he should ever regain consciousness. The result of Aragorn's kindness toward a potential hostile claimant is that Faramir is indebted to him, becomes his loyal ally and he rises further in the esteem of the Gondorian people.
Aragorn doesn't immediately press his claim on the Gondorian throne while the war with Mordor is still on, and actually explicitly suggests Prince Imrahil of Dol Amroth (the most powerful Gondorian magnate around) should govern as a sort of temporary sorta-Steward until the greater threat is dealt with. Result: the forces of Good don't waste time or worse, resources on squabbling over who should sit the throne of Gondor while there's bigger fish to fry, and Aragorn also solidifies Imrahil's crucial support.
By leading the armies of the Free Peoples into battle time & again, Aragorn demonstrates to his soldiers that not only is he a mighty warrior wielding the ancient sword of the Númenórean kings, but also that he's willing to subject himself to the same risks they do and that he's not going to just run & hide when the going gets tough for them. This is genuinely important for a medieval king, it's why even the ones who were mediocre fighters at best often had to at least show up to the battlefield despite the risk to their lives.
In the end, Aragorn doesn't so much just say 'OK guys, throne's mine now' as he does get raised up to the throne by popular acclamation. Where GoT has the Council of Surviving Characters openly laugh at democracy before imposing an elective oligarchy, the people of Gondor want Aragorn to be their king at the end because of his various deeds of heroism in their service. Between this and the support among Gondor's leading nobles which he has cultivated, Aragorn has absolutely ensured he won't have to face popular discontent as he assumes the crown of his ancestors.
That is how a good man becomes a good king, which Gurm would know if he bothered to read the appendices (specifically Appendix B) of Return of the King and to also pay attention to the subtler details within the story proper. In any case, Tolkien also tells us enough about traditional Númenórean governance (which Aragorn restores as a positive agent of returning tradition) and Aragorn's reign itself to deduce what his tax policy would have been like: he would not have been an absolute monarch, but one bound by the ancient Númenórean laws & customs (which he could interpret and enforce but not create) as well as the councils of the lords of Arnor & Gondor; he decentralized power, making Faramir Prince of Ithilien and respecting the autonomy of the people of the Shire and the Drúedan Forest; he freed the slaves of Núrn and allowed them to govern themselves, essentially turning the livable half of Mordor into another ally for his Reunited Kingdom; and he waged some wars with Éomer's support to recover Umbar and a few other territories (to connect Arnor to Gondor and create a buffer against the Easterlings), but generally made peace with the Haradrim and Easterlings.
Since we know he respected tradition and the law, fought few wars and dedicated his reign to restorative works like getting a new gate to Minas Tirith (but not new ones, we don't hear about him trying to construct a Great Society-esque welfare system for example) it is reasonable to infer that he probably kept direct taxation of his subjects to a minimum, basing his income on his personal royal estates, fines and possibly loot from Sauron's and Saruman's stashes (for example, he recovers the Elendilmir of Isildur - another important royal heirloom - from the latter's tower, Orthanc). This would be right in line with Tolkien's view of what a good government should be: a small-c 'conservative' one, traditionalist and bordering on minarchist, that rules with a light touch and does not overly impress its will upon nature, its people or its neighbors - 'that government is best which governs the least' and all that, in contrast to the all-controlling, rabidly expansionist, totalitarian and aggressively industrializing Isengard & Mordor which are unambiguously evil.
Tl;dr Aragorn's tax policy is the sort of thing that would make fiscal conservatives cream their pants while leaving big government left-wingers seething and coping. Since he isn't a postmodernist nihilistic hack, Tolkien was able to weave a story in which a good man becomes a good king in a believable and sensible manner. Martin meanwhile either didn't read LOTR from cover to cover or he did and was pretending not to when asking about Aragorn's taxes, in any case he never elaborates on his own characters' economic policies either. All we get in that regard from ASOIAF is 'King Robert spends a lot and Littlefinger is happy to help', 'the Seven Kingdoms owe the Iron Bank a huge debt', and 'Cersei is such an idiot that she will build an expensive war fleet only to hand it off to one of the most obviously untrustworthy bit characters ever without asking any questions'.
>Sword Legacy Omen.
I mean, Uther would be a c**t towards them but they would absolutely help.
>Hotline Miami
sad to say but no way
Genshin, gandalf seems like the only vision holder though, and an anemo at that... I dont have high hopes
>Darktide
Probably not, but they probably could've handled Vermintide.
>Baldur's Gate 3
Honestly? No. I think most of the hobbits would die in Moonrise, Boromir would join the Absolute, Gandalf would get filtered by Orin and Aragorn/Legolas/Gimli would make it all the way to the brain only to die to the dream guardians.
>MGSV
Huh.
I think they'd do very well in Afghanistan and Africa, and Gandalf would rape Sahelantropus.
I don't think they have video games in middle earth so probably not. They'll probably have to start with something simple like pong.
Tears of the Kingdom? Gandalf could do it by himself.
>WoW Icecrown Citadel 10 man
Yes they could, and it would be a great adventure.
>wrath of the righteous

>New Vegas
Is mithrill bulletproof? Can Gandalf deflect lasers?
I think they're all dead.
>Is mithrill bulletproof
yeah, tolkien had to devise a way for frodo to lose it so the witch king could stab him
Frodo wasn't given Bilbo's mithril vest until after he was stabbed at Weathertop, he didn't lose it until they got to Mordor and it was only used as a narrative ploy because when the Mouth of Sauron showed it to the members of the Fellowship outside of the Black Gate the reader didn't know what was going on with Frodo yet.
right so he had bilbo keep it until after frodo was stabbed
Which means that Frodo didn't lose it, he just never had it. Bilbo left the Shire literally years before Frodo did and didn't think he'd need the protection until after he got to Rivendell and was, you know, stabbed.
>skyrim
depends, how leveled up is the dragonborn? fricking garbage system
my dude, there's a maxed out archer in there, he can solo the damn thing
If they choose athletics and acrobatics as starting skills, then its over when enemy scaling kicks in. At least they wouldn't get lost though.
