Man, this is such a fantastic, just absolutely superb game. There's so much going on, so much you can do, such a well-designed and satisfying experience. After working in the industry I just marvel at how many different systems are constantly at play all around you to make the world feel so full and lively. Thanks for the LP David! Glad you had fun with it, and it was cool to see how differently you played it. I very much respect your choice not to use all the OP stuff or max out upgrades/runes. I think you might've had some fun with Detonate tbh, that's how you're meant to set people on fire, and there are actually a ton of opportunities to make use of it. Especially in strongholds. I honestly forgot how to mount Caragors normally after being able to do it with Shadow Strike, that's definitely another big crutch one for me. If you have the runes that let you get essentially infinite focus, the bow is absurdly OP and lets you essentially instantly kill as many orcs as you have Elf-Shot, which is like, 12 or 16 or so idr. It's basically like having a Storm of Urfael in your pocket, but that takes away from the swordplay for sure. :p There's also a lot of fun to be had with the branding system. Whenever I was in prolonged fights, I'd try branding only 1 type of Uruk, and see how well they did against the others. Only Archers, only spear throwers, only shield guys, only berserkers, etc. Once you have all the power the game gives you, it's also fun to try and buff all the captains to match you. Just spam "Advance Time" and let a bunch of captains level up a ton, then issue death threats to all of them so everyone has gangs, and then go some place you know there will be multiple captains around and go ham. Also some fun in trying to get the highest level rune possible, which is 25. the only way to do it is for them to be max level, 20, then you have to death threat them for (+1), let them kill you so they can be a Revenge Target (+1), have intel on them (+1), and kill them using their weakness (+2). tons of great stuff, man, such a good game. I've started Shadow of War for the first time just recently, after this LP got me super hype. Looking forward to your LP of that too if you decide to do it. :D
Oh man, what a treat this was. You must play and show off Shadow of War for us, X. You just have to at this point, Who knows, maybe we do meet Azdush in that too.
Holy smokes its the minecraft guy

I absolutely loved this series and it was obvious how much fun you were having! Thank you for all the wonderful videos!!
