Infinite Experience and Skills
There are certain parts of the game where battles spawn infinitely. The first is very near the beginning of the game, just after the quest to kill three Wild Men bands. There is a passage that goes straight south, and a battle with two orcs will spawn there. If you simply stand still after that battle, in a few seconds another two orcs will spawn for battle, and this will continue indefinitely. There are at least two other places in the game that this occurs.

Good Starting Sword for Berethor
To replay the game starting with a very good sword for Berethor (the first character you start with), do the evil mode of Osgiliath on your first game and save it on your new game. By doing this, you will get the Sword Of Isildur, which has a 200+ damage rating. At the beginning of the game, you can give at least 2,000 damage points from a normal hit with this weapon.

Remove Idrial From Party
After beating Osgiliath, travel back there. Idrial will be removed from your party until you reach a save point near the end of the Pelennor Fields due to a glitch from the Osgiliath 'Save Idrial' quest. Developer's mistake or someone's sick idea of a joke? We may never know.
