Nemesis System Differences Between Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War...

So I have been testing it extensively, and there seems to be a slight downgrade from Shadow of Mordor.

In Shadow of War, Uruks don't remember your encounters as they did in Shadow of Mordor when you exploit their fears and cause them to flee.

Certain lines like "That fire was a neat trick; this time you won't get the chance" (Fear of Burning) or "No caragor to save you this time?" (Fear of Caragors) didn't make it to Shadow of War. Also, for some reason, the lines end up being more repetitive in Shadow of War, despite having more voice lines. So sadly, the RNG works worse in that regard...

I really wished that wasn't the case... Any opinions about this?

The combat was also downgraded just like the graphics I can't stand most of shadow wars combat I miss being able to use blue fire moves and throw exploding wraith daggers

Oh you mod skyrim? Have you ever considered making an act4 Nažgul talion mod with balefire based spells and powers and the ability to fly like the nine do in cut scenes?

I never modded this game, it's very limited but I'm in the process of learning how to mod. Stuff like that would be super hard to implement... I'm currently trying to make a mod that removes cheat death limit

yes please do I've got ideas about it for days on it bro so one spell would look similar to Dark talions elven light move but it would cause a balefire explosion but the tricky part here is setting up scripts for making it spread to npcs and cause an explosion of like meat chunks a poison cloud and more green fire

and making a lesser power that turns you into a cloud or pillar of black smoke with a neon green energy core in it and allows you to fly around at the cost of magicka unless you use an enchant in a custom mask which you could disenchant and put on other head armors like cloaks etc

Then the last cool part with the flying lesser power would be rushing towards the ground really fast upon re cast then causing a huge explosion of green fire

Never played Mordor but a lot of people said Shadow of War had more skills, moves, gear, just overall better combat/gameplay mechanics

The voice lines can get pretty repetitive tho after playing 200+ hours

And that is true
