I have a question regarding loot boxes. So I've earned a few from doing ingame stuff, but I don't want to use the orcs inside of them. Can you exchange orcs you don't want from loot boxes for mirian or something?

I think you can mind break them for drops.

The games are just Talion's dying hallucinations as he bleeds out from a gut wound. You can forgive him bending the laws of physics a bit.

I don't think Talion is displaying proper reverence for his dead son when some of these dagger drops are reskins of Acharn, other broken longswords.

Finally got this thing downloaded. I can't believe how well it runs on a laptop GPU. This is like the opposite of Arkham Knight

Oh man, like, my fifth giant clusterfuck into Act 1: I go down and a generic Gondorian Sergeant appears out of nowhere to save me during a Last Chance. Shame I died seconds after he saved me, but it was hella cool to see. The Gondor troops are way better than I'd thought they'd be, they can beat an orc one-on-one pretty consistently.

Playing this on a 670 GTX, which is the minimum spec. Game runs ridiculously well. Obviously not on Ultra, but a mix of medium and high settings at 1080. Pretty pleased.

Pretty amazing that every negative review on steam is parroting either Sterling or TB, yet it's still at 83%. Psst, hey inflammatory dipshits, you're still losing this war to games that are good and fun.

Haha I think the radiant system already 'broke'. Very early in Cirith Ungol me and Gollum hunt down Shag the Assassin (unsure if this is always the same guy a la the story mission captains in the first game, but mine was named Shag). Talion gives a big speech about stopping him to save the girl, Celebrimbor doesn't care, the usual, then we kill him and are treated to a cutscene of Gollum smashing his face in. And then, twenty minutes later during a random death threat mission, Shag ambushes me on the fortress ramparts and says he was hired to kill me and proceeds to gently caress with me then run away giggling when I drop his health low. This happens again twice, once like ten feet from a story mission checkpoint as if he was just waiting for me. Talion no longer gives a poo poo that the orc gunning for his new girlfriend is still very much alive and on the hunt. Also, this game loving owns and so far is everything I wanted at the end of the first one. They actually made caragors useful! I didn't unlock all the upgrade tiers in just under a few hours! A bard orc killed me with tiny twin crossbows!

Intro: Why did I give her the Ring again? I'm like 80% certain I could kill a giant spider (as long as said spider doesn't have a Ring). I'm choosing to believe that the 'fair form' is 100% illusion. Shelob was a spider for the entire cutscene.

Played a whole bunch, gotta sleep now. 2 questions; 1: anyone know if Ologs spawn in the open world at all? I want to have all Olog armies but finding ones to die to is difficult as hell. 2: if a Captain gets the 'Iron Will' trait is there any way to get rid of it to brand them. I have this super rad Olog who keeps coming back from the dead all stiched up but I cant brand him

Neatest thing for me, toward the end of Act 1: Your savegame data from the first game (if you played it) will generate your nemesis from the first game as the boss in the Arena mission. I saw his name pop up and I was like Holy poo poo... Really enjoying the game so far. Definitely worth a buy.

Am I being dense or is there no indication which orc is running to light an alarm beacon? I get the prompt to stop the alarm being raised, but can't see which orc is going for it.

Oh man, the same motherfucker keeps killing me. And now he's picked himself up a blood brother who's half his level but immune to executions and vaulting. These two are real fuckin' pricks and I'm almost tempted to brand one and make them fight to the death. Game fuckin rules, y'all. Btw, (Funny Uruk spoiler)some captain ambushed me and starting spitting rhymes like he's Gato from Chrono Trigger. I almost felt bad going full Rip And Tear on him.

Game is rad, got two things to say: 1. I met an orc with the title The Thinker, he didn't speak but had a hype man talking him up instead. I dunno how that happened but it was awesome. 2. Has anyone successfully parried an Olog? I haven't been able to once (on their blue telegraphed attacks).

Only just started playing Do you have to unlock execution moves? The floor one is way too slow and ATM it seems like I basically just have to do that or batter orcs to death with a dozen sword attacks each

He ended up actually dying from the flies I droped on him. But like you came back. But way way more hosed up as a result of the flies going into him.  Also just ran into my Nemisis from the first game. He is loving me up.

I loaded up Nemesis Forge and it says my Nemesis is some rando I fought once. There's another Warchief who I fought and killed like 8 times so that now his face is just bloody bandages with one eye-hole named Skak Jaws, and I'd much rather he be my nemesis. How do I make this happen?

They seem to have improved the Nemesis system handling a lack of death significantly. The first captain I killed suddenly became “Ronk the Survivor” on me and kept constantly popping up to harass me. After the first couple of kills turned him into a bag-headed orc, he managed a couple of escapes because I bungled the last chance circle prompt on him. Felt VERY satisfing to finally chop his head off. Between that, the faster refill of slain captains, and the timer making captains pass their quests, it feels like I’m getting much more pressure even though I haven’t technically died yet or done the “advance time” thing, definitely better than when you could practically empty the field of captains in the first game. Their ability to adapt keeps things much tenser too, no more spamming one clever move (though it gets a little nightmarish when a defender suddenly blocks vaulting or a berserker blocks the wraith stun). I’m definitely not staying unkilled much longer in this game.

My Nemesis from the first game feels unbeatable now that I am fighting him in Shadow of War. He does tons of damage with tons of poison. And he gives no last chance. His only weakness is caragors but he also has beast slayer so he kills them before he can be dazed or anything. He is also a defender with Hate of Arcobatics so if I jump him he gets enraged and thats the only reliable way of hurting him.

My first impression was that holy poo poo there's way too many cutscenes and too much plot in the beginning, but as soon as the game drops you into the open world I remembered why the first game was so good.

Welp I'm definitely getting this game today - I may as well take the plunge and get the Gold edition, which I assume is the "plus season pass" version? I've never used Green Man Gaming before, what's the catch? Getting 25% off the Gold would be extremely my kind of poo poo
