Yeah, they do. Which I'm grateful for. Sure, Talion lost everyone he loved in the first game and Celebrimbor was little more than a ghost trying to get a feel for the world, but I could have done with more companioned moments. Things that would make their characters shine. The reason many liked Ratbag, aside from his humor, was that he did bring out some character from the two, even if it was just for a few short moments. It made them refreshing and connective to us as players. Still, I am pleased the studio is diving further into showing us more of who Talion and Celebrimbor are as individuals.
If I'm being honest I love the characters of Talion and Celebrimbor, and was saddened when they weren't explored in depth in SoM. They're essentially war criminals, since Elves usually prefer more humane ways of dealing with Orcs rather then outright genociding them on each other. You have a Ranger crazed for vengeance since his family was murdered, and an Elf Ghost who wants to uproot Sauron and rule Mordor.
Talion still has that annoying voice though. It's purely subjective opinion on my part but already in first game I disliked this voice acting (another thing I think they should hire better writer for dialogues, and I guess Amy Hennig would do good hehe, she worked on Legacy of Kain series and the manner of language style in that game series really struck me as Tolkienesque/Shakespearean :) ).
Ah, the unmistakable voice of one Laura Bailey. I have no doubt this one will be a love interest for Tallion. Troy Baker's and Laura Bailey's characters always seem to have a thing for each other. Oh, and let's not forget that Eltariel literally has the voice of Tallion's dead wife. Yup, same voice actress.
I thoroughly enjoy the fact that she was gutsy enough to kill him just to see if he can live again. Lol, she reminds me of Thranduil, seems like something he would do.
Honestly I'd rather play as her hunting Nazghul. Sounds more interesting than killing orcs again not that that's not fun or anything though playing as someone new would help to expand the universe. Middle Earth is HUGE. Why not take advantage of exploring another part of that world?
are we sure the city that fell was ithil? because as far as i remember from trailers and such ithil was already morgul, maybe they are talking about osgiliath and the great palantir that was there
The delevopers have talked about Minas Ithil and Minas Morgul being in the game. I think the city being stormed in the first trailer was Minas Ithil so it could become Minas Morgul
I really hope they go into Celebrimbor's heritage in this game. I think it would make perfect sense for Fëanor's horrible actions during the War of Wrath to curse his family, thus explaining why his grandson's spirit never passed through the Halls of Mandos and was around to possess Talion just before his death.
She's a thousand year old champion of the elves. Talion is a dude that gets his ass handed to him by Orcs and dies ALL THE TIME. As we've seen again and again, without Celebrimbor, Talion wouldn't have gotten anywhere near as far as he has.
1:34 Am I right in saying that Celebrimbor says ''We cannot let it fall to Sauron's hands. The light of Galadriel will give it to him!''? Because I am a little confused there, I can't hear what he says correctly exactly.
If you kill every uruk before leaving, ratbag is your nemesis, so he can survive the hammer, Also it is confirmed that the boss battle happens when talion is dying and before you land your final hit ratbag comes in and kills sauron, saving middle earth
Gosh, if Celebrimbor will have such speech during all the game, i will cry. His mouth is full of water, doesn't it? I love his voice not only for charisma and...voice. I love it because every non-eng speaking player can easilly understand him. Please, do'nt fuck up with voice!
What kind of armor can we equip ? Is it only human-armor or we can equip elf armor like galadhrim armor from LOTR The Two Towers. Also when you equip a bow, does the apperance of the default ugly bow changes ?
I didn't play the first one (just listened to Laura Bailey sing over and over again) but if this character has a big enough role, I may be tempted? She's awesome ;;;
Isn't this a bit hypocritical of Galadriel? She herself has a ring of power and let's not forget the "All shall love me and despair!" moment she had when she was presented with the One Ring.
What are you talking about? Just because I said that he sounded different, there was no point in which I had firmly stated he was being voice acted by another person.
Jesus christ, so many of you people are complaining about her for only a small tidbit of a trailer. Ever thought of the fact she may have a tsundere personality or just doesn't trust Talion yet since her job is to strike down men corrupted by the rings?
It's a bad first impression and it seems like this is our first meeting with her in the game as well? From how the conversation goes she fucking kills us and is super arrogant from the tone she has. Of course people will not like that! If she does become better deeper in the game is one thing and can't be discussed since we have no information about that. However, what can be discussed is what we've seen here and it doesn't leave a good impression (for me atleast). She seems like a very typical "strong female character" cliche that has to have a snappy and bitter personality. Which, to be honest, seems like a lazy character trait.
like if you agree. The only thing i think that the shout make better are the orc's and humans , how they look and how the blood looks if you kill the uruck. but they still have time to fix that
I dont see why people are bitching so much. She looks hot and badass. It looks like the plot is getting dense, thats good thing, and we dont know much else. Im really excited for this game
Well, I see elves, i see men, i see orcs, we had one dwarf BEFORE but my question is.....will there be MORE dwarves?
JDVIII of Inveon Torbjorn Dlc????
Definitely need more Dwarves. Please Aulë I hope there's more Dwarves.
If there is at least two dwarves, I`m sold. Edit: Is that a moon door in the background?
Uruk-hai were created much later than game action takes place.
It was Uruk, Sauron was the first to create them, than Saruman perfected them.
This game is so worth every penny game of the year
How have you already played the entire game?
Note the implied sarcasm.
Hard to put facial expressions on a couple thousand year old wraith but that look when he realises she can see him ha XP can't wait for this game
PezzaHando He's like oh FUCK
Kmdt Kain Looks so offended by what she says too like "dis bish"
PezzaHando God I'm looking forward to this game
Celebrimbor and Talion seem to have a bit more personality
Yeah, they do. Which I'm grateful for.
Sure, Talion lost everyone he loved in the first game and Celebrimbor was little more than a ghost trying to get a feel for the world, but I could have done with more companioned moments. Things that would make their characters shine.
The reason many liked Ratbag, aside from his humor, was that he did bring out some character from the two, even if it was just for a few short moments. It made them refreshing and connective to us as players.
Still, I am pleased the studio is diving further into showing us more of who Talion and Celebrimbor are as individuals.
Also the fact that they seem to be more present in the world, instead of never speaking (out of cinematics)
Definitely an improvement over the first game, especially for Celebrimbor.
If I'm being honest I love the characters of Talion and Celebrimbor, and was saddened when they weren't explored in depth in SoM. They're essentially war criminals, since Elves usually prefer more humane ways of dealing with Orcs rather then outright genociding them on each other.

Is it only me because I really really like when Celebrimbor is angry
Adiuvat
yeah me too. the Bright Lord DLC was pretty just him yelling the entire time and it was awesome lol
Still love Celebrimbor's voice!
Ah, the unmistakable voice of one Laura Bailey. I have no doubt this one will be a love interest for Tallion. Troy Baker's and Laura Bailey's characters always seem to have a thing for each other. Oh, and let's not forget that Eltariel literally has the voice of Tallion's dead wife. Yup, same voice actress.
And Hirgon's wife too, if I'm not mistaken.
Yea cuz he already forgotten about dirhael and iorveth (pls do not kill me if i spelled that wrong)
It's Ioreth.
Olo Ivo How the fuck did you get that name for her?
TR-8R I played withcer 2. Btw i still am not able to recodnize them from names. I can't
I thoroughly enjoy the fact that she was gutsy enough to kill him just to see if he can live again. Lol, she reminds me of Thranduil, seems like something he would do.
Honestly I'd rather play as her hunting Nazghul. Sounds more interesting than killing orcs again not that that's not fun or anything though playing as someone new would help to expand the universe. Middle Earth is HUGE. Why not take advantage of exploring another part of that world?
1:05 the look on celebrimbors face is priceless
Laura Bailey's voice is almost enchanting, mix that with Troy Baker and oh my, this is gonna be good.
Fun Fact: Laura Bailey who voiced Eltariel also voiced Ioreth (Talion's Wife) in the first game.
I have a feeling I'm gonna be saying "chill out Celebrimbor" a lot during cutscenes for some reason.
Celebrimbor doesn't know what chill means; the closest he gets is freezing people.
that is his meaning of chill
Gamin' Reasons lol Celebrimbor has no chill. He's totally focused on revenge 24/7, no matter the cost
are we sure the city that fell was ithil? because as far as i remember from trailers and such ithil was already morgul, maybe they are talking about osgiliath and the great palantir that was there
The delevopers have talked about Minas Ithil and Minas Morgul being in the game. I think the city being stormed in the first trailer was Minas Ithil so it could become Minas Morgul
Can anyone translate the elvish text on the wall at 1:58? I'm curious if it has some hidden meaning.
Johan Wallhede it says that,
Door of mordor, door of creation,door for the celebrimbor
Ur welcome
I really hope they go into Celebrimbor's heritage in this game. I think it would make perfect sense for Fëanor's horrible actions during the War of Wrath to curse his family, thus explaining why his grandson's spirit never passed through the Halls of Mandos and was around to possess Talion just before his death.
Celebrimbor is pissed😂😂
A girl he can't perv on.
1:41 is it just my impression or from her eyes it looks like she's done by the same actress who did Galadriel in the movies?
IS IT OCTOBER YET? :(
wait a bit
2 more hours XD
No. IT'S SEPTEMBER. (Insert funny meme)
I don't like this character so far. But on the 'bright' side, Celebrimbor seems to be wayy more interesting than before. gg on the voice-actor.
"Try to keep up"
Talion: "... bitch who the fuck do you think you are talking to like that? You don't even know."
Michael Marshall triggered!
Michael Marshall the guy who defeats QTE bosses?
spaPolaris blame your own gameplay. I did a lot more than that in my playthrough
She's a thousand year old champion of the elves. Talion is a dude that gets his ass handed to him by Orcs and dies ALL THE TIME. As we've seen again and again, without Celebrimbor, Talion wouldn't have gotten anywhere near as far as he has.
She looks like a more sensible and capable elven Cersei.
When one of your friends messages you even though you're appearing offline 0:58
You can't fool me, you're no Blade of Galadriel! That's Laura Bailey! Man she really is in everything!
She's very good at her job I think. She's good in Critical Role.
1:34 Am I right in saying that Celebrimbor says ''We cannot let it fall to Sauron's hands. The light of Galadriel will give it to him!''? Because I am a little confused there, I can't hear what he says correctly exactly.
“Give it to us*” but aside from that spot on
1:00 look at celebrimbor’s face lmao hes like oh shit
celabrimbor at 1:01 is like
"this bitch can see me? ah hell nah!"
Sofia batman assassin lool 😂
Celebrimbor: Oh fuck. (To Talion) She is not our ally!
Eltariel? Nice, well now Ratbag retun please??
How does one return from having a skull smashed with a giant iron mace at full force?
CaptainJackValdy's Crew he's ratbag that's how
CaptainJackValdy's Crew
This Maschine Uruk seems like he survived his "skullcrushing finale"
"Cheated dead" ability ofcourse!
If you kill every uruk before leaving, ratbag is your nemesis, so he can survive the hammer,
Also it is confirmed that the boss battle happens when talion is dying and before you land your final hit ratbag comes in and kills sauron, saving middle earth
Celebrimbor's reaction when Galadriel Saw him was like : " Oh Fuck "
Kerbi Cabardo right 🤣🤣🤣🤣 and he said it like oh shit she can see me and she says yes I can see u lol
Kerbi Cabardo That wasn't galadriel
I hope there are dwarves, imo, they're the best type of character in all of LoTR and The Hobbit
Don't forget warhammer (franchise aside)
WarV yep completely aside
Dwarves may be good, but Brûz is by far the best character in LoTR, canon or not
REEEEEEE why do I keep watching these I feel like I'm getting spoilers but I just can't stop!
Wasn't there other Eltariel in Witcher universe? I think she was mentioned in books and games too.
is this who we get to play as in the blade of galdriel dlc
i know this is an adaptation but, isnt the light of galadriel what she gives frodo ?
or are there multiple itens with that name ?
Celebrimbor: The Light of Galadriel, give it to us!
Blade of Galadriel: Bitch, who do ya think you is my dude?
Gosh, if Celebrimbor will have such speech during all the game, i will cry. His mouth is full of water, doesn't it? I love his voice not only for charisma and...voice. I love it because every non-eng speaking player can easilly understand him. Please, do'nt fuck up with voice!
SO hyped!
To me Celebrimbor sounds a little more muffled in this one, he's harder to understand. Anyone else having that or is it just I?
Yep, definitely more muffled. Still sounds cool as fuck though.
Is that Laura Bailey? :D
What kind of armor can we equip ? Is it only human-armor or we can equip elf armor like galadhrim armor from LOTR The Two Towers. Also when you equip a bow, does the apperance of the default ugly bow changes ?
george athas Well drarf inspired arour is confirmed so most likely yes. As for the bow Think that is a most likely a yes as well.
I didn't play the first one (just listened to Laura Bailey sing over and over again) but if this character has a big enough role, I may be tempted? She's awesome ;;;
Ermahgerd its a Middle Earth Vex! Congrats Laura you finally got your half elf rogue xD
"Never trust an elf"
It is Vax and Vex combined into one character. Laura Bailey is a boss.
thats some fancy armor. i like it
What so does she wear Nenya in the trailers? "Blade of Galadriel"? idk
Ooh, the hype just keeps building! Damn you Monolith!! Lol
Oh boy ANOTHER game with Troy Baker and Laura Bailey in starring roles.
What conference were they apart of?
I feel like if they play this right, the three of them could have a fascinating relationship.
What is it with you and the -tariel name? first Litariel and now Eltariel
cant wait for this game damn cool!!!😍😍
Celebrimbor is just so fucking cute in that Trailer haha :D
shadow of war es solo para xbox para ps4 no saldra?
And the legend saying that gold edition been the most sought one since.(due to mithil edition been sold out to this day,it seems) xD
Release's two days before my birthday. I know what I'm getting
One day before mine!
Celebrimbor went crazy
Is this an expansion or part of the main game?
Blade of Galadriel played by Laura Bailey? I'm down for that.
dlc where you play her?
looks like the characters are much better in this one
Right, I know this is about Eltariel but can you please put Bruz the Chopper as a non-RNG NPC? Please?
eltariel and lithariel are the same person or not ?
HEY, who ARE you?
Kazoo kid reference.
Thanks for telling us.
First look at the game and the first look at the game's dlc. I can see the elf lady as a playable character, but I could be wrong.
Wasn't it October 22?
Why is it the 10th now?
Gabriel Muñoz it was august 22,it has been delayed to october 10
Goddammit.
God. Fucking. Damn it.
Why the fuck, Monolith?
to make a better game
I know.
And they better.
Is it know coming out October 10th?
Dylan Duck yep
For the DARK LORD of Mordor
Vex'halia, the blade of Galadriel
i just want ratbag back
Celebrimbor looks like has more personality
Isn't this a bit hypocritical of Galadriel? She herself has a ring of power and let's not forget the "All shall love me and despair!" moment she had when she was presented with the One Ring.
God, Laura Bailey is in everything
OMG LAURA FUCKING BAILEY IS AN AMAZING ELF ASSASSIN, HA MY LIFE IS MADE
So if Talion gets with Eltariel, does that mean its a threesome?
Can't wait to play this
PERSONALITY!
This game is going to be epic
They should've kept the pre Alpha wraith skin it was way cooler if you can add it as a skin that be awesome!
Celebrimbor sounds... a lot different.
What are you talking about? Just because I said that he sounded different, there was no point in which I had firmly stated he was being voice acted by another person.
Don't try me. Do you have a vast understanding about the mechanisms and incredibly difficult algorithms of quantum physics?
I'll have you know that my entire family tree went to prestigious schools. Now, please execute your words carefully when you furiously type. Good day.
A cool noncanon elf chick. Book fans are gonna be pissed.
Mock my words this game will come out on December not October
okmarked
Dore Hasakey lets see.
Dore Hasakey mock your words? English much. it's Mark, you halfwit.
westcoastotb yeah yeah English insults whatever
westcoastotb as long as u understand who give a dam -__-
Jesus christ, so many of you people are complaining about her for only a small tidbit of a trailer. Ever thought of the fact she may have a tsundere personality or just doesn't trust Talion yet since her job is to strike down men corrupted by the rings?
I am calm. It just annoys me when people judge a character off of 2min of video lmao
I know right? But I don't really appreciate her killing me just to see if I'll come back.
It's a bad first impression and it seems like this is our first meeting with her in the game as well? From how the conversation goes she fucking kills us and is super arrogant from the tone she has. Of course people will not like that! If she does become better deeper in the game is one thing and can't be discussed since we have no information about that.

She seems like a very typical "strong female character" cliche that has to have a snappy and bitter personality. Which, to be honest, seems like a lazy character trait.
Mekhi Epps Yeah out of context, but if you play the game you understand, why she kills you.
Everyone saying shadow mounting. Why not "hold cirle (hold B) to drain!
OH COME ON I full screened this and thought I was watching a movie . . . I need to know how this ends (pre order confirmed)
I'm soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo buying this game
Tu Morrow 300$ mithril editing that should be only be 120
Talion looks Aragorn!
so guessing that she is the playable character in the dlc titled "the blade of galadriel"
No. The DLC is called "Ripped pants". XD
I need more..... please.... i beg of you.....
Suzanne Neven more,more,i'll kill more,i want to kill more,more,way more
btw if you don't know what im talking about it might be creepy
Hope she becomes a playable character
like if you agree. The only thing i think that the shout make better are the orc's and humans , how they look and how the blood looks if you kill the uruck. but they still have time to fix that
Pleeeeeeease let us play as her. Infinitely more badass than Talion
Hyyypeeee!
Oh hey. It's Vex.
i think shes a great character i cant wait to see more
This game looks awesome! :D
Bam balam they are making it superb and by October tenth when it finally comes out it will be fantastic
the first time I saw this I was happy so I waited untill the release date moved up now it's on my birthday 😀
I dont see why people are bitching so much. She looks hot and badass. It looks like the plot is getting dense, thats good thing, and we dont know much else. Im really excited for this game
will there be diplomacy with humans and elves? can we get human or elf followers?
Someone is a little ring crazy
