Isengard - For some reason I ended up allied to the Good Guys.
I have two new games going (since 1.4 wrecked my other saves) as Gondor and Isengard. The new skins and animations are amazing. However, if you load everything up to and including 1.3 it runs like a dream. Okay, after several runs I can tell you that the 1.4 patch is a piece of shite! It doesn't do anything but crash the game and cost you your saves.
