#MIDDLE EARTH SHADOW OF MORDOR SAVE EDITOR PC SERIES#

With a gurgle and a shriek, The Backbiter lumbered off. In fact, I shamed him from nearly level 50 down to level 10.

He showed up and gave me some more grief so I shamed him again. In frustration, I shamed him down a few levels. When I beat him down, his Iron Will skill prevented me from wrestling him to my team. He would grow stronger, eventually being arrow-proof (so I couldn’t hurt him or pin him with arrows), vault-proof (so I couldn’t flip over him), ice-proof (so I couldn’t stun him), and had no troubles smashing his armored face into mine, stunning me and removing any button prompts that would otherwise allow me to dodge away. He was a normal hideous Orc when I encountered him the first time, but repeatedly smashing him in the fact caused him to return with armor plating over his heavily scarred face. One Orc, nicknamed “The Backbiter” had dogged me relentlessly. Shaming lowers their level, sending them off to come back another day when you might be able to sway them forcibly to your side. Forcing them to their knees in submission, you can recruit them if they are the same or lower level, but you can also release them and fight them to the death. When you run into an Orc Captain, your level and their level is matched up. Taking the both of them out, I ran into another Orc Captain with the title of “Giggles”, living up to his name in every way. He opens his mouth and his “hype-orc” front man jumps in front of him and says “Yea! He’s so angry he doesn’t even know what to say!” or something similar – I was too laughing to catch all it. I crest the hill and a Orc Captain spots me. If multiple Captains are in the area, they’ll chime in one after another, reinforcing the previous Orc’s trash talking. Similarly, a Graug might make the Orc shout ‘Oh, come on!” in exasperation as they know they are about to get crushed into a thin paste. Riding in on a Caragor, they might razz you as a coward for bringing a war beast to the fight. Most Orcs or Olegs (the large brutish newcomers to Sauron’s army) will open up with “Manswine!” or “Manfilth!”, but just as many will riff on what you’ve brought to the table. I cannot begin to express just how much I appreciate the new trash talk coming from the foes in Shadow of War.

If you’d like to see the first 45 minutes of the game in action as a primer to the rest of this review, look no further: It’s here that we see the revamped Nemesis engine and everything it does to raises the stakes for this sequel. This means finding Captains, beating them into submission, and then using the new ring to twist them to your cause. Pushing forward into the second acts, and not unlike its predecessor, Shadow of War grants the protagonists the ability to begin to recruit an army to begin to push back the forces of evil. As the shining city comes under fire from the forces of evil, Talion and Celebrimbor partner up with some dark forces of their own with the hopes that doing something bad will lead to something good. Taking place across four acts (more on that in a moment), Shadow of War starts off with Talion and Celebrimbor joining the fight to save one of the last bastions of hope for Gondor, Minas Ithil. And yes, that is as dangerous as it sounds. Without spoilers, the long and short of it is that co-protagonists Celebrimbor and Talion have faced Sauron and seen his true power, concluding that the only way to defeat him is to forge another Ring of Power.

I did a quick series of videos showing the ending of that previous game, as well as the fight that lead up to it, but Shadow of War thankfully does a great job in recapping how you got here. Shadow of War kicks off directly after the events of Shadow of Mordor. Strap in - it looks like meat’s back on the menu!

In this review I’ll cover the improvements, the hiccups, and yes – even the presence of microtransactions and what effect they have on the game. It’s been over a week since the launch of the game, and I’ve spent the last 50+ hours discovering everything the game has to offer. Conquest, and its interaction with the new Nemesis system is the heart and soul of Middle-earth: Shadow of War. Scores of Orcs howl and shriek as we collectively revel in our rather simple and uncomplicated victory. Driving my wraith glaive into the ground, I proclaim that I have taken this fortress in the name of the Bright Lord.
