The Nemesis system in Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor gives enemies names, ranks and memories of their encounters with Talion. Those left alive change their tactics and dialogue based on what happened, while enemies continue their tasks even off screen. Melee combat combines regular attacks and counters to build a combo multiplier, and character progression includes experience points and skills.
Talion is a Ranger of the Black Gate whose family and life are taken from him. A mysterious spirit resurrects him, setting him on a quest for revenge. Set entirely in Mordor between The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, the third-person action role-playing game includes an open world with main objectives, side quests and random events.
