Lego Saruman in Dol Guldur ! Can't Post

http://www.jeuxvideo.com/...050/00050947_011.htm

Speaks for itself !

I don't know if it is from the soon to come first version of the game following the plots of the first two films or if it is a sneak peak from the There and back again DLC, but I would be surprised if such an important scene was revealed for first time in a Lego game, so I would bet on the second possibility.

Where's this picture from? I think... [In reply to] Can't Post

When you complete Lego games you can go back and replay levels as any character you want. I think someone has replayed Gandalf's Dol Guldur level but played as Saruman, just to make a cool screencap Wink Great pic, though!

And an even more surprising picture ! [In reply to] Can't Post

Thorin with what appears to be Dol Guldur in the background ! Is this scene exclusive to the game ? I have no idea where it could take place in Taba, but I understand that these games stick quite well to the movies, so I am a bit puzzled here...

I didn't know that ! [In reply to] Can't Post

I found these pictures on Video game news website and they said they got this image along with some others from the official developpers (including the one i linked to below). Here's the source (it's in french) : http://www.jeuxvideo.com/news/2014/00071410-images-de-lego-le-hobbit.htm#news

I think it's quite a valuable explanation you just gave, but I would find it a bit dishonest from the game developers (if they're really the ones who took the shot) to show a picture hinting at content that is not really in the game

well [In reply to] Can't Post

The content is very much in the game.. its a core part replaying the levels with new characters.


They could post a pic of the witch king dancing in bag end if they wanted. is very much possible to make happen.

Okay so I looked and you can't play as Saruman [In reply to] Can't Post

even with the cheat codes.

( Here's the list of character you can play with : http://www.gamefront.com/...-unlock-cheat-codes/ )

So this screencap does come from the campaign and illustrates the attack of Dol Guldur by the white council, or at least that's what I think.

Edit : I just saw the little "Work-In-Progress: There are more character codes available. Check back soon for new updates." So I guess it could still be cheat code screencap
