Well since when has dunland been known for making good decisions anyways.

This is Canon though It takes place years before the events of The unexpected Journey and the fellowship of the ring

@@JohnJohn-bz1lq the timeline of it doesn’t mean shit because it would’ve fit if it didn’t contradict a lot of lore in Tolkien’s universe

@@trashbag1146 How if the Civil War within mordor was before everything?

@@JohnJohn-bz1lq The game takes place after the events of the hobbit as events such as the battle of five armies are referenced, i am fairly sure that the necromancer (sauron) of dol guldur is also refrenced . There are a number of contradictions to the timeline and characters, such as the time where the black gate is manned, the fall of minas ithil, celebrimbor's character, helm hammerhand being born early , isildur (?) The existence of the new ring is a major issue, another balrog in mordor is a huge one, as it its stated that there are only two balrogs left, the one in moria, and one trapped in valinor. These are some of the more obvious direct contradictions. Tolkiens lore exists in both references and additional writings outside of the direct events of the hobbit and lord of the rings, i personally am okay with this timeline as a alterative universe, which allows more timeline and ending changes for a possible third game( here's hoping) Inclusions of gollum and saruman become problematic as well, along with things such as saurons fair form, and his use of a physical body (debatable). The nazgul keeping traits form their lives is also difficult to reason with for the events of the war of the ring, as even the cutscenes in game later show them all without any originality between them. This game could work with the movies timeline due to the limitations there, and with WB copyrights to tolkiens works

@@joshuazeppeli5199 No it doesn’t it takes place before the events of hobbit because a Civil War did take place in Mordor and it was during the time when Minas tirith was still around before it became Minas Morgul and Minas tirith is that Sister kingdom to Condor which is why the knights have similar armor Even in one of the books it references the fall of Mordor it used to be full of Different races and Creatures until they were all Wiped out by Morgoth in the eneding of the game it said “The one ring was found the Nazgul and his brothers went out and search for the New ring bearer in the shire” That’s when we get into the Hobbit the unexpected Journey

Maybe she wanted to destroy the Nazgul because she didn't think there was any other way to deal with them. Then she saw one of them dominated, and after seeing that as a possible option, ended up preferring to use them as opposed to just killing them.

Fam you are confused you cannot kill a Nazgul they are dead already If he were to dominate a Nazgul That means it belongs to him now but all tailon did was free him Until someone puts on the ring then he and you become one Which is why he was able to use his powers and hear him speak every time Talon died

Even if you kill a Nazgul, Sauron could just give the Ring to another and recreate them. Her task was to destroy a group that couldn’t be destroyed as long as Sauron lived.

He couldn't be though, there were only ever 9 Nazgul and I'm fairly certain all of them were created before Isildur was born.

@@crassus300 BUT IN SHADOW OF MORDOR SAURON GAVE HIM A RING AFTER BEING SMOKED ON DEAD BED?

@@phinguyen3515 Because shadow of war isn't canon, because there were only 19 rings made, 9 for Men who became the Wraiths, only ever those 9, 7 for dwarves which honestly I don't know what happened to those, probably kept in their treasures, and 3 for Elves which, one is with Galadriel, one with Elrond, one was with Cirdan which I think is the one Gandalf has now. Technically 20 if you count Saurons' ring.

@@crassus300I believe In shadow of war the creation of the nine were spread out throughout history most being created before Sauron’s downfall

The opinion of a literal child.

Micah Burkholder agreed

I bought it yesterday and I can't stop playing it. By far better than Shadow Of Mordor (which I surprisingly didn't like that much). Shadow Of War is heavily story driven game and offers you tons of stuff to do and customize. Make the game more personal and adding interesting characters that you eithe root for or hate. I really like Shelob, it was so creative from the devs to add her in the game. I'm just hoping there's gonna be a third game.

Yes👍

@@ianvidarsen4314 only bad thing is that the story turns to shiss when compared with the** books.

@@ianvidarsen4314 Shadow of Mordor was great for the time, the graphics update and improvement to nemesis system makes shadow of war far superior though, game does have its issues though. Hoping the next game is perfection.

Hope you enjoy the video!

You were watching this at work? Lol

That's exactly the God think about the game it can do what ever it wants

No it doesn’t Not a bad thing

I- don't think it's meant to.

@@L.C.Sweeney As far as I know (my parents've read the books and seen the movies) the movies are actually very acurate

Well its not supposed to

It's still Steve Blum, but they modulated his voice.

There are no easterlings in this game.

@@mfs-3kiryu592 lol

Bullshit Wrong

No this game isn't cannon

Minor lore errors, the whole game is a lore error

Minor lore errors? The game isnt even canon.

Quite alot of lore errors tbh. The balrog, Nazgul, siege of Minas Tirith/Morgul, a second ring of power, a single ranger basicly keeping Sauron distracted, the Witch King getting his ass whooped by said Ranger, with a simple Gondorian blade, Celebrimbor as a Wraith, and there are probably quite a few more that i do not recall.

The game wasn't meant to be canon

@@lordnazar6382 How about Isildur being a Nazgul?

Love the hashtag! 😀

Yes.

Technically it’s not but it’s still a good story

NOPE....JUST LIKE THE FORCE UNLEASHED.....WE WISH IT WAS CANON LOL

It also introduces a major continuity problem that I don't know if anyone caught. In the original game, the only way to remove a Nazgul's ring it seems is to dominate them with the New Ring. The Nazgul, when they die, retain their rings in their spiritual form until they return with a new body. These sisters manage to kill two Nazgul and remove their rings, thus breaking all that, thus also raising the question, how does Tailon keep his ring if he is killed during Act IV: Shadow Wars?

In the books they were former Kings and Great warriors there was also a mention of a Queen that became a Nazgul and they aren’t Chinese it was a civilization that was wiped

@@gprimr1 You don’t have to dominate them to take the rings lmfao The ring stays on until it falls off or It is taken off or if the nazgul Is not of ghost form this happens if they are Traveling outside of Mordor Because there’s no dark energy in middle earth Which is why the witch king died

@@JohnJohn-bz1lq there was never a mention of a queen becoming a member of Nazgûl.

No

Mr. Nonsense lol name changed use to be Sauron

@@OGDoomGuy Oooooohhhh! Lmao ok. In that case... *still no*

Mr. Nonsense so like the game

Don't you love it when people constantly change their usernames? Then some comments or replies don't seem to make any sense.

But still a very interesting story and amazing gameplay and game structure.

@@PlayNiceFolks Can't deny that lol I downloaded the demo

They are not exactly Asian but a civilization wiped out

LOL IF YOU WATCH THE MOVIES THEY ONLY FOCUS ON LANDMARKS OF CAUCASIANS BUT IM SURE EVERYONE ELSE IS AROUND.

They’re around, just not in the places the story focuses around.

It never claimed to be following canon. It changed canon to make it more fun/interesting.

@HurricaneGriz Lots of people nerd out over things they have a interest for tho.

​@HurricaneGriz And you got nothing you nerd out about? no games, no fictional world, no movie or series? Everyone has something they are a big fan of, why does that make someone a 'pleb'

@HurricaneGriz Yes, but the same could've been said when Battlefield said it would be a historically accurate game, and it wasn't. And thousands of fans 'cried' about it not being historically accurate. Every fandom has people complaining about something. Get used to it.

@HurricaneGriz I am not really offended by being called a nerd tho, i am a nerd, nothing new. It is the word pleb that is just annoying, you call me low social class, simply because i said that people nerd out over things they have a interest for.
