Yeah. It imports from som save . Just like who ever was the most loyal in that game becomes a bodyguard in this

the game used shared save data

Like they said, it uses the previous game save data. My nemesis Azgrom the Elder returned in SoW.

wait really? thats actually crazy

I love that aspect like I killed this one bastard atleast 5 times and humiliated him 2x to the point that he had the collective brain power of a goldfish and he still wanted his get back

I hope you're not serious about the eating chimpanzees part.

@@finnover9781I hope he is

@@BKAngmar They're endangered. You shouldn't eat them

@@finnover9781 They taste sooooo goood though

@@finnover9781 you clearly haven't tried them before man.

How do you demote an overlord in SOW? I thought we couldn’t do that, at least my game won’t let me…maybe I’m not doing it right? Can you help me?

@@SwiperLeFox If you just shame them then they lose their Overlord status. But if they're under your control you can just replace them with some other Uruk.

@@SwiperLeFox switch them with your warchiefs and switch the warchiefs with captains

Wait are you on ps4? Bc I went against an all tower gorgoroth last night lol

@@nathancanadian4989 Yup :) might have been mine then. How'd you get on with it?

That’s simple comedy

Giving off strong Winnifred vibes. 'What a glorious morning. It makes me sICK!'

What got me recently was an orc with aspiration ''Just you see, some day I'll be a captain, I'll have fifty.. no, FORTY orcs under me!''

Orc moment hahaha

@@joshcarr9858 I mean forty is easier to split into teams

Oh no I hate them both, but I am Talion so fuck Celebrimbor for betraying me, that shit broke my damn heart.

I agree you with you

Bro never get them a mount THEY ALWAYS STAY ON THE FUCKING MOUNT also I had 3 guys before one guy was a fucking monster I got him by chance and I'm telling you bro was a menace he killed everything even his own team at some point he Straight up held a fort by himself

I’ve had a guy like that, Ogg Brain Biter, I was testing defences on one of my forts and Ogg ,who wasn’t even a warchief or max level, Ogg held a single point by himself against 2 level 60 orcs and 3 max level captains, I don’t know how he did it but he is now my body guard in that region.

Talion's story isn't finished, who said it had? Talion was shown getting hit by a fireball/ball of fire while escaping the Blast of Baradur, not shown dead, probably still dreaming to join his wife and kids but Monolith has something else in Mind😃.

@@sammustdie3841 Pretty sure there was a cutscene showing Talion walking in a nice field of grass unwraping and dropping all his armor and weapons to the ground referencing that he is in the afterlife so im not too sure about Talions story not being done but hey mabye "somehow Talion will return."

@@arandomcrusader6707 I like what you are thinking, I know that's the ending scene but I guess that is just Talion hallucinating after getting hit by that Giant Fireball, he is alive but wants to join his family. Monolith can do anything I mean MESOM and MESOW are Legendary games, maybe next year or a year after that we can see Morgoth, I mean it's very much possible if Sauron is defeated I.e. Morgoth's Right Hand man Morgoth surely will not sit around and will retaliate to bring terror in Middle Earth again. 😅😅 I am just guessing so it's up to Monolith 😊.

The Sequel i would love Shadow of Gondor Continue the story Playing as a Corrupted Talion. You do not dominate Orcs anymore You are sent ahead into Gondor to weaken it, and go dominating humans A full on evil story Probably with Baranor and the other named characters from this game coming in as Bosses during the story. Who you can kill or Dominate Dominating giving you some badass new characters, but also further cements you as fully gone. Killing them means you miss out on them, but also means you aren't mind controlling Talion's old friends. Maybe a slightly different ending depending on how much you tried to fight back or embraced the full evil nature It would be super depressing, but also an awesome shift for it

@@sammustdie3841 Based on my understanding, with Sauron dead the rings would all lose their power. Considering the ring is the only thing keeping Talion alive, he should pass after Sauron dies.

Sounds like Frieza

He's my overlord now.

Wait he can actually die the I’m dealing with has only one limb covered in bandages and has a poison blade

@@riven5677 sure can. According to the game mechanics the only true way to outright kill your enemies once & for all is to decapitate them. Everything else the game allows them to return under the Nemesis System.

The stich war troll

the backlash was with the microtransactions which have been removed, but they weren't too bad to begin with.

@@Ace2014Ace Not to mention those who were put off by Talion's domination of Uruks. Dominating them is a mercy, as they were created by the first Dark Lord, Melkor, or Morgoth for those who aren't quite familiar with Tolkien's legendarium. Melkor not only tortured but also corrupted the few elves he was able to keep from the grasp of the Valar. To be honest, Talion and Celebrimbor were providing a way for the Uruks to redeem themselves and find rest in Valinor, whether that rest was found within the Hall of Mandos or elsewhere. Talion and Celebrimbor were heroes the Uruks needed but did not deserve. And it all started as a means of vengeance, using the Dark Lord's unwitting followers against him. People can complain all they want about how terrible the writing is. We've still got a better story than the Rings of Power show on Amazon. (Seriously, that show has made the Twilight books look like literary masterpieces.) (I never thought that we'd ever see the day that something worse than the Twilight books and movies was greenlit, but here I stand corrected.) The Rings of Power TV show is a particularly poignant example of this, as Amazon defiled the source material. Worry not; Amazon's works are just poorly written fanfiction that takes place in an alternate reality, nothing more. We all know that it was Annatar, the bringer of gifts, who deceived the Gwaith I Mirdain. We are all aware of the truth of what was written. Tolkien does not need to be ashamed of his work being put through a meat grinder; we are outraged for him. We know that Amazon is merely a pretender, trying to gain even more popularity through the mutilation of our beloved world of Middle-earth. It is important that we remain vigilant and continue to distinguish between fanfiction and canon. TL;DR of my second half of my comment: The Amazon adaptation of LOTR is even worse than the Twilight books and movies, the Eragon movie, and the Percy Jackson movies. Say what you will about the PJO movies or the Eragon movie, but at least they were able to capture some semblance of the essence of the books they were based on. The Amazon adaptation, on the other hand, clearly missed the mark, failing to capture the heart and soul of J.R.R. Tolkien's beloved masterpiece, leaving fans disappointed and betrayed. I give the quote, "Ungodly noise that Prak Jaws makes, walks off to the left and comes back from the right making the same noise."

@@brianwhite-woodcelebrimbor1004 If you pissed about bad fanfic, how did "Velma" not get even a foot note in your rant. Good rant otherwise.

@@Ace2014Ace Because I do not acknowledge anything other than the og Scooby Doo movies and tv series, anything else doesn't exist in any shape or form.

@@brianwhite-woodcelebrimbor1004 What's new scooby doo was great, so was a pup named scooby. Also loch ness, witches ghost, zombie island. Many scooby properties besides the original were great; just not the horrible netflix fanfic. I also take some issue with the straight to video live action and mystery inc cartoon .

Plot Twist: He just went M.I.A, he s currently in a different universe, probably helping Master Chief defeat the covenant

Especially after GW did an ep for shadow of Mordor

This! while i can understand people disliking the rewriting and lore changes of middle earth in the shadows series (Like nechromancy, the balrog summon, characters and also talion killing and becoming a ringwraith), it makes a really good story for a video game. Still one of the best stories i have played, as i got really invested in it

Force Unleashed did the same for me.

@@Ace2014Ace Another, if not better example than shadow of war. The force unleashed was a staple of my childhood. I Always hoped it was canon since they released lego sets for it back in 2008 lol

Exactly you can change stuff in lore and that as long as you respect canon in my opinion

It can’t be canon though. Shelob was never a shapeshifter, celembrimbor never helped make the one ring , helm could never have been a Nazgûl, Gollum was never in Mordor yet etc.

@@ht4236 I just take bits of it and consider those bits cannon

Personally as Tolkien fan I would have preferred to have it more like the source material interpretation of Shelob, as an eldritch abomination in spider form all the time, hunger and selfishness personified that our protagonist would be forced to ally temporarily with for common goal. Book Shelob did not care for anything or anyone but could use others as tools (like Gollum) ultimately caring only about growing in power herself: "Little she knew of or cared for towers, or rings, or anything devised by mind or hand, who only desired death for all others, mind and body, and for herself a glut of life, alone, swollen till the mountains could no longer hold her up and the darkness could not contain her." ... "But other potencies there are in Middle-earth, powers of night, and they are old and strong. And She that walked in the darkness had heard the Elves cry… far back in the deeps of time, and she had not heeded it, and it did not daunt her now. Even as Frodo spoke he felt a great malice bent upon him." Portraying her as this demonic entity with not fully comprehensible ways of reasoning and primal darkness, also her powers of conjuring up this darkness and "webs of shadow" and powers of mind: "Drawing a deep breath they [Frodo and Sam] passed inside [Shelob's Lair]... They walked as it were in a black vapour wrought of veritable darkness itself that, as it was breathed, brought blindness not only to the eyes but to the mind, so that even the memory of colours and of forms and of any light faded out of thought. Night always had been, and always would be, and night was all. ... But for a while they could still feel, and indeed the senses of their feet and fingers at first seemed sharpened almost painfully. ... ... But after a time their senses became duller, both touch and hearing seemed to grow numb... ... And still the stench grew. It grew, until almost it seemed to them that smell was the only clear sense left to them, and that was for their torment. ... ... Here was some opening in the rock... and out of it came a reek so foul, and a sense of lurking malice so intense, that Frodo reeled. And at that moment Sam too lurched and fell forwards. ... Maybe they had passed the dreadful unseen opening, but whether that was so or not, suddenly it was easier to move, as if some hostile will for the moment had released them. ... ... Frodo's hand wavered, and slowly the Phial drooped. Then suddenly, released from the holding spell to run a little while in vain panic for the amusement of the eyes, they both turned and fled together; but even as they ran Frodo looked back and saw with terror that at once the eyes [of Shelob] came leaping up behind." The Two Towers, LoTR Book 4, Ch 9, Shelob's Lair ... "Already... Gollum had beheld her, Sméagol who pried into all dark holes, and in past days he had bowed and worshipped her, and the darkness of her evil will walked through all the ways of his weariness beside him, cutting him off from light and from regret. And he had promised to bring her food. But her lust was not his lust."

That’s tough to do, someone’s gotta do it though. Someone made a skyrim nemesis mod current year btw 👁👁

@@lonewanderer1328 Yeah I saw that it’s pretty cool and I hope to see more of the system in more games even if it’s only through modding

If the Assassin's Creed formula for lotr games would be used further I would like if someone made a game more modelled on the later AC titles so something like AC Black Flag mixed with AC Odyssey and Origins :) also more lore friendly, naval combat with ships of Corsairs of Umbar and Haradrim vessels and sailing the Great Sea Belegaer :)....hell yeah :) one could even use the book canon, like adventures of Aragorn as Thorongil, when he commanded the fleets of Gondor :) and have the kingdoms of Gondor and Rohan to explore in detail hehe. Any game can be done and lore of Tolkien works would give material for several huge in depth games easily rivalling the Witcher 3 in size :).

Why would he ? He took isuldurs ring and position

@@ht4236 I know, and it makes sense but damn a unique mask would be sick

@@SeaIbass I think it was because no one knows what he did he was just another faceless nazgul to everyone else

@@archie6890 I know, but it would have been so cool lookin'

@@SeaIbass yeah

His goal has always been to destroy Sauron to end his tyranny, but after learning Celebrimbor's intention to dominate Sauron he immediately figured out Cele wasn't just trying to stop Sauron, he was trying to usurp Sauron. That's why he immediately turned on Celebrimbor

Jesus that's depressing

actually leveling was intentional throttled at later levels, and act 4 was implemented mainly to make people buy microtransactions. it may not be too bad, but it was intentional flawed by the developers.

For a second i thought this was gonna be another " it's morbin time" comment, but thankfully it wasn't.

Not written in today's world it wouldn't be

@@McNab1986 What do you mean?

I never finished that one. I completed the game, mind you, but all the way till the end that one mission was a permanent stain upon my map, world, and pride

Yeah, the fact that the nemesis forge from SoM has an impact on your first nemesis in SoW in the Arena is really fucking great
