The more physical and mental changes that occur, the stronger or weaker that players could become in different areas. The sharp fangs that Gollum sports in the Misty Mountains are a far cry from Sméagol's smile, after all, and that's just one aspect of his corruption. As they become closer to Gollum and farther away from Sméagol, players could unlock new abilities or perks/debuffs. If LOTR: Gollum does indeed show Sméagol before he became Gollum, then his corruption could be a major part of how the game is played. LOTR: Gollum - Sméagol's Descent Could Affect Gameplay LOTR: Gollum doesn't make much sense if it's only what fans have already seen, so players could delight in learning more about Sméagol. Meeting his family, showing who he was close to and perhaps even who he had as a romantic partner, and then finding the Ring, killing Déagol, and seeing the aftermath and events that led him to settle in the Misty Mountains could be a great way for the game to expand on Gollum's background. Being able to control Sméagol in his average life living with the rest of the Stoorish Hobbits, at least for some part of the early game, would give players some understanding of Gollum's previous identity. If LOTR: Gollum chooses not to start players out in the Misty Mountains when Gollum was already deep in the throes of madness, then a time before Sméagol and Déagol discovered the One Ring is the next logical starting point. Gollum's skipped LOTR movie plots could become major arcs in LOTR: Gollum, and show fans more of both Gollum and Sméagol than they've ever seen before. Every tiny detail about his life isn't necessary for the story, but some information on Sméagol is hopefully coming, so that players can truly understand who he was before he became the series' famous wretch.

There's so much of Sméagol that's still unknown, which is unusual for the Lord of the Rings series given its reputation for deeply wrought-out backstories. He's almost unrecognizable, which truly drives home just how much the One Ring has affected his mind and body. Sméagol's brief appearance in the Lord of the Rings movie contrasts starkly with Gollum. LOTR: Gollum Could Show Players Sméagol's Life LOTR: Gollum's Gandalf looks nothing like the movies' version, so there's plenty else that could change. If it decides to break far enough away from canon, then players could have a choice of accepting the Ring or rejecting its influence on Sméagol.

His descent into madness could have an impact on the gameplay, or even the game as a whole. LOTR: Gollum has the chance to change that and finally reveal who Sméagol was before he became Gollum. Related: Every Lord Of The Rings Location Confirmed For LOTR: GollumĪlthough Gollum is possibly the most well-known and influential character in the series, even more so than Bilbo or Frodo, little is known about his early life as Sméagol.

After becoming the servant of the giant spider Shelob and trying to feed Frodo and Samwise Gamgee to her, Gollum shadowed them until they reached the Crack of Doom, where he bit Frodo's finger off and fell into the lava along with the Ring, destroying them both. He set out in search of it, but was unable to find Bilbo.

LOTR: Gollum's protagonist is hard to sympathize with, so many fans were rooting for Bilbo instead of feeling sorry for Gollum. At some point, he came to reside in the Misty Mountains, where he remained until Bilbo stole the ring from him. After he and his brother, Déagol, found the One Ring in a river, Sméagol killed him and took it for himself, before using it in insidious ways until the family matriarch cast him out. Gollum was once Sméagol, a Stoorish Hobbit living with his extended family. Since Gollum is the main character of LOTR: Gollum, the game could show players who he was before the ring corrupted him, and solve one of the biggest mysteries in the series. Sméagol was Gollum's identity before his acquisition of the One Ring, but little is known about him aside from a few key facts. The upcoming Lord of the Rings video game, Lord of the Rings: Gollum, has the opportunity to shed light on the series' least-understood character, and show his origins as Sméagol.
