BROKEN BRAINS, BROKEN GAME | Middle Earth: Shadow of War - SHADOW WARS

[@grimtygranule5125]

I don't think Talion sleeps. Thats probably why he doesn't need the motivation to get out of bed in the morning.

[@wyrmkintoothgrim1174]

"Is your next bright idea going to be to stab me in the back as well?" Now that's just _asking_ to be betrayed. Meanwhile, Gund Slave-lover has simply had enough. Under Kruk's rule he was mistreated badly and basically forced to be Kruk's slave, hence why he loved slaves. He used to be one. He was in Kruk's throne room because Kruk liked to keep him close when ever he needed to beat something up in a burst of Blood Axe rage, and the constant mistreatment left Gund on the brink of breaking. Then the house broke the camels back when ToG broke his mind and he lost it, being sick of the constant mistreatment and bullshit he had gone through. "I've had enough!", the last truly coherent thought he had before he went insane and latched and to that feeling of being sick and tired of everything else. It's ironic that Kruk, driven insane by constant blood and ToG's shaming was the one to slay his mistreated, insane slave Gund, who had simply had enough. Next up, Gubu and Gruk, the cannibal blood-brothers! They met each other very early one, fighting together in many a fight and quickly establishing a reputation as being extremely fearsome orcs. Gruk had a ravenous, constant need to feast on the flesh of fellow orcs to feel the succulent feeling of their flesh in his mouth and the beautiful screams as they complained about him eating the. Gubu on the other hand was obsessed with fire and watching things burn and scream, making him the perfect cook for Gruk as he lit Gruk's screaming food on fire as he ate. Naturally these two were absolutely fucking terrifying to everyone who met them, hence them being able to rise through the ranks to captain. Again, there is some irony in the fact that Gruk was lit on fire before he was thrown off the tower to his death before his brother, in a mindless rage was easily grabbed and tossed off that very same ledge to go meet his brother down in the dirt beneath ToG, where he belonged. The Expounder used to pound his enemies into the dirt before he decided he preferred to crush them, hence EXpounder. What did you expect, he's an olog, he's fucking dumb. Ah, the Maku the Damned and Hura Rage-Mind. Maku was a pretty normal orc before he decided it was a good idea to get into a duel with a cursed captain, which he managed to win through sheer luck and meeting Hura. You see during the battle Hura, who was a very angry orc captain even back then, decided to charge in and beat the shit out of the captain simply because he didn't like him and was feeling especially angry at the time. However, as the cursed captain was slain he let out one final swing with his blade, slashing Maku deeply. But you see, this particular blade was very special. It had an enchantment that would permanently make one person of the wielder's choosing be filled with a constant, endless rage to all except the wielder, who could also control the rage to some degree.. As Hura began to slaughter all who got near him, he started attacking Maku. Maku was quickly knocked down and his weapon thrown away, forcing him to grab the nearest weapon he could reach to block a death blow. As luck would have it, that weapon just so happened to be the cursed dagger that Hura had been slashed with. As he grabbed it and held in front of his face with both hands in a desperate attempt to block the attack, the attack never came. Hura simply stood there, looking at Maku with the one eye that hadn't be taken by the captain earlier. A few tests, trial and error and a bit of luck later Maku had pretty much figured out how the weapon worked and that if he ever let go of it he would be viciously mauled to death by Hura's fists. The thing is, it was a cursed weapon. Being a cursed weapon that he was constantly holding he was filled with a constant painful corruption slowly creeping across his flesh and insides, hence the "Our only escape is glorious death!" Hura is constantly being forcefully mind fucked to extreme rage of varying levels while Maku is dying a slow painful death via corruption. Maybe that's also why Maku got a proper scene when he died while Hura was simply taken off to the side and killed, Maku's story is the true focus here. Finally, we come ToG's newest main rival. Tuhorn and his army of orcs, with the only other notable living one at the moment of course being the Gubu Heart-Eater who killed ToG. Notice how I specifically said _living_? That's for a reason. You see, this looks to me like Lord of Mordor, Sauron himself, has organized a new army to fight against ToG with the main focus being on Terror units, likely due to their psychological effect on normal uruks, with other notable clans taking part being the Fiery clan and a high number of Cursed orcs currently present. Yep, really does seem like Sauron's thinking of the psychological warfare taking place at the same time as the physical warfare. And the best part? So far, Tuhorn's won. The other orcs before he attacked were likely scouting part leaders, infiltration leaders, general distractions and that sort of thing, hence how Tuhorn was able to get his massive army into position to attack the fort. Then he attacked and was able to take the fort and kill ToG with only one captain dead, an impressive feat considering how many orks ToG has killed previously. I'm also thinking that Gubu is going to be rewarded for being the one to actually kill ToG. The storyline of Kruk the Betrayer may be over, but thing's are not getting any less intresting. A new army has risen, and it seems to be on the path of success. However it should be wary, for the Ranger's wrath is not to be underestimated...

[@Robocop-ki9vo]

What's with the novel

[@bionicdragon5]

I'm not sure whether it's a good thing or a bad one that you can create your own story by just playing the game and observing the orcs you fight, and no matter what you end up with, the resulting plot and characters are always WAY more interesting than those of the main storyline.

[@benjaminizquierdo4700]

Make this a fanfic pls

[@benjaminizquierdo4700]

Also episodes for each one pls

[@jasonalcatraz5817]

Dude, I'm half way through reading this and I love these assessments you made on each Orc. Also it's making me rethink how shaming works. I figured it just drives them mad, but no, it makes sense now with Kruk, Slave Lover and Bruz. Shame doesn't destroy the mind, it brings up an individuals most repressed and destraughted memories and obsessions, forcing them to weigh further on the mind. The level of strength of will against the strength of the urges and obsessions of an uruk, determines how hard it is for the weight to crack their sanity. Although one thing you should know, Expounder doesn't have anything to do with pounding things. Expounder is defined as: verb verb: expound; 3rd person present: expounds; past tense: expounded; past participle: expounded; gerund or present participle: expounding present and explain (a theory or idea) systematically and in detail. "he was expounding a powerful argument" So the Olog is actually a smart dude... although it would have been better if he had his own unique personality to show it an not just generic Olog #45

Hey Brett, if you finish the arena in Minas Morgul, it gives you the ability to resurrect captains. Just an idea if you wanna pursue it

[@Shay96]

Just make sure to max out their level before doing this. Since they can't gain levels once undead. They're also unbreakable and super weak to fire.

[@doctornsilver3882]

They loose their minds though I think so it's best to not I think

[@Shay96]

If it's a strong captain, it's worth it. I also have a glitched undead captain. He's level 55, since I raised him ages ago, but he's a rhymer who retained his personality.

Tear, please stop leaving all of you warchiefs and overlords so underlevelled. You can use the bloody training orders to get them up so your forts aren't so outmatched.

[@bleachedshadow9981]

The fact that the Nazgûl are friendlier than Celebrimbor in the fact they wouldn’t betray Talion if he joined them

[@normantinney5244]

Yo tear haven’t watched the video yet, but I have an idea. You should go into friendly fight pits in a stream one day and have people try to beat your uruks, and kruk. Edit: forgot to add that your the best, no matter what game you play you always make it funny 😀. Keep doing what you do because you do it well.

[@Lux_the_Lost]

He is pretty good at what he does. Sadly, though, I don't think he'd do that... He's made his disdain for the fight pits pretty clear.

[@pelieskola5708]

@@Lux_the_Lost well i can't blame him. Its pretty clunky and annoying feature i have understood.

[@Lux_the_Lost]

Sometimes. The big issues with the fight pits (aside from a little RNG being involved and having no control over it) are that some Orc traits that would otherwise be at least mildly helpful wind up being detriments there. For example, having a Caragor mount or a follower gang (for whatever reason, followers tend to REALLY slow the pace of a pit fight especially if both contestants have them; the AI can't handle it for some reason and it results in some of the Orcs just sitting around being useless. Unless they also have the Strong Followers trait it's a waste of time). You practically need to CONDITION Orcs for the tougher levels and hope they don't gain something that fucks them over. Berserkers typically have the best chances of doing some real damage in fight pits as I've noticed. Hate traits with common triggers are a godsend there, and they tend to have a lot of those (even better if they have Thick-Skinned). Defenders and really good archers also usually do at least a decent job.

[@XenoSector]
