Agents were a bloody sight too powerful in the early game, and

anything

which redresses that is welcome,

Regards,

Richard.

Murazor in the books can't be killed by men. the Naz were so
powerful that Glorfindel, Elrond and Gandalf together couldn't beat
them in a stand up fight at the ford, they had to resort to a trap.
Sauron could be found as the Necromancer in Dol Guldor. Some things
are introduced to make the game playable... (in the game any of the
Naz is rightly fearful of a 210 from Elrond)

It's a while since I read the books, but doesn't Glorfindel scare off a
few Nazgul by himself in the Hobbit?

RD: No. Not in the Hobbit nor in Lord of the Rings. I wonder if you are
thinking of an earlier Glorfindel, who in the Silmarillion slew a Balrog,
altho he died doing it.
