Is nobody at the expo that just could ask if this book is what we will get in the game?

With the rise to 9k for a SE, I still think that we will see more things revealed. But I don't think that the book is only a placeholder. They posted a closeup picture of the book on their facebook side. Just like they are proud of it. Perhaps when you hit the standup targets you will see a book opening up on the LCD with a picture of the mode that you will have to play.

But I don't like that book. It's to big and destroys the overall picture. I thought we will see here a Hobbit house with a round door and grass roof. That grass would blend in as riverside for the river with the barrels. And if you need the book as a symbol of the next chapter in the game you can still display the hobbit home and Bilbo writing in his book on the LCD.

Don't get me wrong here, I still am having high hopes for this game. But from the pictures it looks as if the designer was been fired before he could complete this game. The rules, music and video animations will make this game great. But it looks like we have to mod it heavy. There are many things missing, or don't blend in with the rest. If this is the final version, it's designed so we have to buy Back Alley mods. And they should tell that from the beginning.
