    Did it, though? Do people really want to play as gollum? I think it only did as “well” as it did because of how hilariously bad it was, but who the heck ever said “I kinda want to play as one of the most pathetic villains ever created?”

      Stealth games are a popular genre and I personally find the character of Gollum to be quite compelling and I think it could have been done well, but it obviously wasn’t.

      I do a pretty accurate Gollum impression and have entertained friends with it at great length and sometimes to their annoyance so maybe I relate to the character more than is usual but I can’t be the only one.

        Well, the same can’t be said about the Gollum impression that made it into the game.

      It could be really cool to play gollum. The origin story is interesting and with a few good writers you could have spin a pretty nice tale.
