I'm probably one of the only people here who do, but I love Liv Tyler. She IS Arwen to me. She was downright intimidating when she walked up to her Ada and said "You saw there was a child. You saw my son."<P>As for the Arwen/Ring connection, think about it... if the ring isn't destroyed, sooner or later Sauron will kill Aragorn. Thus Arwen will die of grief. So, in a way, the writers didn't change much.
