I think it would have been fascinating to be Tuor; to meet Ulmo, to find the fortress by the Sea, to find the way into Gondolin, to actually see Gondolin, to meet and marry an Elf, and to save many of the inhabitants of the city, even if he couldn't save the city itself. I cannot think of anything I would change.
I should also like to have been one of the Dunadain during the ride through the Paths of the Dead.
If I had been Turin Turambar, which I would not at all like to be, I would have either not killed the person tormenting me in the first place (what was his name?), not fled when I had killed him, or come back when all was known and forgiven. Hans Markus Rod, why would you choose to be him, and what would you have changed?
