#MIDDLE EARTH SHADOW OF MORDOR CANON FULL#
The Nemesis system is back in full swing, as the first orc lieutenant within the fortress remembered Talion from an earlier encounter, and still resented the Ranger for defeating him but sparing his life. Talion also called upon an orc who had been acting as a spy within the walls to turn the tide and lead his forces against the reigning warlord: a troll who was immune to fire damage. One was a troll lieutenant, who acted as a living battering ram against the fort’s outer doors. As such, he’ll have to take down huge structures, packed to the gills with minions, minor warlords and major overseers.īefore he began the siege, Talion was able to choose a few allies to take into battle with him. Unlike Shadow of Mordor, which pitted the Ranger against one warlord at a time (for the most part), capturing and upgrading fortresses will be an integral part of his mission. The demo showed off Talion, equipped with a whole host of Ranger and Wraith abilities, about to siege a fortress. In Shadow of War, they can become allies, and perhaps even friends. In the original books, for example, orcs and trolls were invariably servants of Sauron, without a redeeming feature shared among an entire army of them. But, as with Shadow of Mordor, it’s not so much about staying faithful to the original Lord of the Rings mythos it’s more about creating a setup for subverting it in clever ways.
Now, an empowered Talion must upend the Orcish order of Mordor, claim its lands for himself, and use Sauron’s former servants to wage war against the Necromancer (Sauron, Gorthaur, Annatar, whatever you want to call him).Īs a devout fan of all things Tolkien, the story is, charitably, aggressively non-canon.
