My Let's play/playthrough of Shadow of Mordor! What's that? a Lord of the Rings/Middle Earth game that isn't a half-baked cash in?  Say it ain't so!  Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor borrows a lot from Assassin's Creed and Batman. The combat is fluid as are the animation. 

No promises, but the current plan is to get all of the collectibles in Shadow of Mordor - Ithildin, the surivival and hunting challenges, artifacts, etc. 

I will be playing on PC with most settings maxed. Of course, you won't be able to tell because YouTube will poo all over the quality. Trust me though; Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor looks GREAT.

Gameplay[edit]
In Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, the player plays as a ranger by the name of Talion who has wraith-like abilities.[1] In this open world video game, players have the freedom to pursue side quests and roam around the world.[5]

The game allows people to create new characters and customize Talion as he starts his journey through Middle-earth by using a new system called the "Nemesis System," which remembers the player's interactions with specific types of characters they encounter and adjusts the manner in which these characters react to the player throughout the game.[1] Enemies also develop as Talion interacts with them; for example, an Uruk who was thrown into a fire by Talion might want revenge on him for being burned and disfigured.

The player has the option to level up the abilities of Talion both as a ranger and as a Wraith through two distinct skill trees.[5] Ranger abilities allow Talion to move silently through environments without attracting attention, while Wraith abilities allow him to impose his will on enemies and have them gather information for him, spread tales of Talion among enemies to decrease their morale, or assassinate their leaders.

In February 2014, Monolith Productions announced that the Nemesis System, being a large system, will be reduced in the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 releases, also stating that they were "focusing on the next-gen platforms," meaning the PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One systems. Furthermore, they stated that they are "going to do whatever we can to get as much as possible on current-gen." Monolith Productions also stated that "some of the stuff," meaning the "core mechanics," which are combat, stealth, ranger abilities and movements, the basic control and gameplay, will be the same on both generations of gaming consoles.[6]

Synopsis[edit]
Setting[edit]
The game takes place between the events of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit and The Lord of The Rings.[1] The family of Talion (voiced and motion captured by Troy Baker), a ranger of Gondor responsible for guarding the Black Gate of Mordor, is killed by Sauron's armies, but Talion is revived with "wraith-like abilities" and heads into Mordor to exact his revenge.[2] Mordor is not yet a barren wasteland in this story.[7] The player will encounter Gollum (voiced by Liam O'Brien), discovering that Talion and Gollum have a lot in common.[5] Talion discovers that the wraith who revived him is Celebrimbor (voiced by Alastair Duncan), the greatest Elven smith master of the Second Age and the maker of the Rings of Power, who also seeks revenge against Sauron.

The story involves the Rings of Power, but the story is separate from The Lord of the Rings canon. The Monolith team is working with Middle-earth Enterprises, Bryant Dearden, and the artists at the Weta Workshop to make sure that the settings, characters, and story align within canon.[1] Tolkien stated that, aside from Beren, dead men did not return to life in Middle-earth.[8] The beginning of the game is set during abandonment of the watch on the Black Gate, despite that watch ending some 1,300 years prior to the game's start date.[9]
