Ironically enough, from the LotRO forums:
“You know the only analogue I can come up for this is to imagine a WWII FPS where the opening cinematic tells you that the Nazis have destroyed Great Britain with a giant laser and you’re one of the few English to escape via a magic portal to Russia at Stone Henge which was planted by ancient mystics from China. However the rest of the game takes place in relatively normal WWII FPS style while the Nazis throw paltry attacks into the steppes, and yet most of the people you meet are also British and no one seems to care that Jolly Ol’ England is smouldering black glass. Occasionally you stumble across more ancient Stone Henges to learn Mandarin to gain super powers. The Nazi country-destorying laser is never brought up.”
ROFLMAO. And … excellent plot-summary there.
(remembering that I did actually *like* TR. But the OP has a point)

Haha! That’s awesome.
I think the TR plot did try to be a bit too expansive. But, that’s one of the major problems when you want to do planet/galaxy-spanning science fiction type stories.
