At present, it’s clear that activities such as farming, fishing, cooking, and gathering are part of the gameplay in Tales of the Shire. Furthermore, developers have hinted at additional features in interviews, which players couldn’t test during early access. Interestingly, even the design elements within Tales of the Shire are deeply tied to the game’s Shire setting, as the furniture mirrors this environment.
In essence, Tales of the Shire shares a similar premise with numerous IP-based simulation games, where players craft their own Hobbit character before being immersed in Middle-earth. However, details about character creation and clothing were not widely disclosed until close to the game’s release, leaving some aspects like avatar customization and wardrobe options somewhat of a mystery.
