History Trivia / WarInTheNorth

* AscendedFanon[=/=]FandomNod: Once the heroes reach Rivendell, they can actually talk to Gandalf about using Eagles to transport Frodo and the Ring to Mount Doom, a topic that has been debated by the fandom for decades. Naturally, in order to keep with canon, Gandalf [[TakeThat shoots this idea down by explaining why that wouldn't work]].

** Some localizations were luckier than others: in the French dub, Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, Bilbo and Frodo are all voiced by their movie counterpart, and Gandalf, at least, gets the same "unofficial" voice-actor he already had in EA's [[VideoGame/LordOfTheRingsTheTwoTowers hack'n slash games]].

* RecycledScript: The game's story is strangely similar to that of Volume 1 of [[VideoGame/TheLordOfTheRingsOnline ''The Lord of the Rings Online'']]. Technically it's ''not'' plagiarism since it's essentially [[Creator/WarnerBros WB]] ripping off themselves. [[spoiler: (It probably doesn't help that the games share the same source material.)]]
* TalkingToHimself: Nolan North plays both Eradan and Nordri.

* RelationshipVoiceActor: This isn't the [[VideoGame/{{Uncharted}} last time]] Nolan North and Laura Bailey would [[VideoGame/MiddleEarthShadowOfMordor enter Middle-earth]].

* TheOtherDarrin: Featuring cameos from Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, Frodo, Gandalf, Elrond, Bilbo and Arwen among others; none of whom are voiced by their movie counterparts. Justified in most cases, [[HilariousInHindsight since they'd be busy filming]] ''Film/TheHobbit'' [[HilariousInHindsight at the time.]]

** You can also offer to join the Fellowship on their quest. However, Elrond and Gandalf explain that they deliberately chose the number as it was for the sake of secrecy and not strength of arms. This was no doubt in acknowledgment of all the "[[SixthRanger Tenth]] [[SailorEarth Walker]]" concepts that have been explored by the fandom, and even in a few licensed works.

** Elrond is a particulary noticeable case -- he doesn't even have [[OohMeAccentsSlipping a British accent]].
