Same! I liked that we got to see their backstory fleshed out some more. Regarding the hobbits:
Tap for spoiler
One sort of tease we got in the end for the hobbits I thought was interesting is establishing the origins of the Shire.
I haven’t read the books, so I don’t know just how much is left on the table, but season 3 feels like it may be a good place for the series to end given what’s been covered already.
This one seems different in that the barrier for entry is pretty high, plus the actual finished mod is not intended to be played very heavily.
