Shadow Of Mordors Nemesis System Is Amazing - GamesRadar

Shadow of Mordor's Nemesis system is truly exciting; Thrak was only one of the self-made villains I encountered, many of whom--not all, but most--were created because of something I had done. The result? Shadow of Mordor's villains aren't hit-or-miss characters that are forced upon you. More often than not, they're the embodiment of memorable encounters; facing them down almost always feels personal.

Not all Shadow of Mordor characters are procedural - Kitguru

One of the biggest features of the upcoming open world, Middle-Earth centric RPG, Shadow of Mordor, is its Nemesis system, which helps generate unique enemies every time you play. That means all of the orcs be they grunts or lofty warchiefs will be generated at the start of the game and it will never play out the same way twice. Except with regards to the few crafted characters still in the game, like Ratbag.

We met Ratbag once before when Monolith first showed us how the orc society evolves as Talion, our protagonist, interacts with it. Orcs die off and get replaced, or war with one another creating interesting opportunities for players to take out two birds with one stone. In seems however, that Ratbag, like Gollum, is destined to play a bigger part in the story, since he clearly can last a long way into the game if you let him.
