Lutfiska: they wore elven cloaks that made them almost invisble, I think Gandalf would have had one too or some magic of his own.
Boromir would have certainly fallen, and Aragorn would have had to kill him... or Frodo would have run away... with the ring in his finger INSIDE Mordor - very dangerous.
I think Aragorn would have remained faithful. They might still have needed Gollum, and he would have been easier to control. They could not have entered through the Black Gate, so they would have met Faramir... and Shelob! Parhaps the spider wouldn't have got Frodo (so many protectors...) but for instance Pippin... then they would all have saved him, for of course the orcs wouldn't kill him either. But there would have been no mithril coat for the orcs to start a fight about.
Legolas would have suffered somehow for the ugliness and pollution of Mordor, I think. Perhaps become sick at drinking the water.
Gimli would endure.. or not... perhaps been tempted more by the ring.
