The Poisoned Skin NEMESIS Saga | Shadow of War: Nemecyst

[@Ssosmooth69]

It’s always the same cycle: 1. Brett goes to another region after getting his shit kicked in by his rogues gallery. 2. Makes friends 3. Kills said friends 4. Dies a lot 5. New rogues gallery created 6. Brett gets his shit kicked in. 7. Brett goes to another region to calm down. 8. One of his enemies comes to said region to finish business.

[@RandoGrunt]

9. Old enemy setups shop and gets to be a routine nuisance/nightmare once again 10. Old enemy either gets shamed into a gibberish mess or recruited. Usually both 10a) old enemy kicks Brett’s teeth in after being turned into gibberish mess 10b) old enemy gets a surprise blood brother and betrays Brett after a short lived rampage on his side 11) old enemy comes back to life after a death Hope that covers an additional bit lol

[@DirectorOfChaos9292]

And? It's fucking funny. ESPECIALLY with the corpse ragdolls, occasional glitches, and Bretts edits

[@JohnnyJohnJohnson]

@@DirectorOfChaos9292 It's been the same cycle for YEARS, it gets stale watching Brett make the same mistakes over and over while never learning. It just becomes painful to watch and makes us wish he actually got better or changes his routine.

This game is a unique one, the nemesis system means the game only shines when you keep losing, so you get nemesis and all the unique dialogue This is a game that's fun when you suck at it

[@Mayogus]

it's so sad warner bros copyrighted nemesis system means we won't be getting any other game with it :pensive:

[@CrowCheck]

That's why I believe that anyone playing this game should put the difficulty 1 level higher than he normally would have done in other games. It's as you said - losing is part of the charm. Ah, what a shame that Warner Brothers is just one massive steaming shit-pile of a company -_-

[@naransolongoboldbayer8030]

@@Mayogus Reminded that Nintendo patented the "sanity effects" from Eternal Darkness (I think specifically the ones that messed with your screen) and then made exactly ZERO games with sanity effects until the patent expired

[@AntonsVoice]

The funny part is the hardest difficulty is the second from the bottom of the list

[@TeKett]

@@AntonsVoice Not really, it was the hardest but it made captains have way to much hp that it was not fun to play, a while after launch they added brutal difficulty which i think is slightly different all around in terms of difficulty but with captains with less health. I would not say its easier, just that you only need to hit captains 50 times instead of 100. Sure, making enemies have more health makes it more likely for you to die to any individual captain, but that does not make it harder overall since it makes it the same thing as fighting the same captain 2 times.

[@qymaen-jai-sheelal]

The Nameless One was Mozu the Duelist. Brett helped cause his death by going to Gorgoroth, and having him on a mission. He died in a bush, and Brett made a joke about it. No wonder Mozu's mad.

I'm so glad you finally got a "Poisoned" orc. The one I got had a cool, unique looking hood and cloak. Made him look real scary. Made the guy my bodyguard after a tough fight. After I finished my playthrough I made him an overlord as thanks for how cool he was.

I ended up bringing "Lorm the Plaguebearer" forward from Shadow of Mordor as my greatest follower. That boy was a freight train of destruction whenever I chose to unleash him. Got one hell of an upgrade in the carry-forward, too - got the fancy disfigured face, the cloak and hood, and a mount!

@@fedoraking3611 my best one I gotten from playing was Pushkrimp the Funny One. He didn’t betray me and 60% of the time saved me from dying.

[@DynamicStar-u5n]

1:08:41 I actually like the fact that he said Eye for eye because Krosh killed Garl earlier and now Garl is getting his revenge.

[@crimsonlion5356]

I like how Mozu and Khrosh are of the same tribe, it seems like after he killed Talion Mozu took him under his wing and into his tribe. These orcs can be wholesome when they want to be.

[@twinodoom]

Mozu also was one of Talion's followers that fell in battle, was laughed at and forgotten. He wanted to show Krosh that the Brightlord would do the same to him.

[@Grimreaper67778]

It's ironic over half of the people here with Brett in gargoroth are from the murauder tribe The poisoned, The forsaken, The Slave which actually became a king slayer first, the duelist which became the brawl master, The noble who unfortunately was killed earlier Also half of the people are from the dark tribe from what I also saw like the skinless

[@hyliangamer1707]

49:23 oh god, the skinless is honestly the most intimidating. If I had to guess for the bash scenario, he was chained up as the forsaken shoved ghul bait in his mouth which called ghuls over and they slashed at him and the ghul matron bit his nose off.

[@Fuer64]

Makes sense, my first assumption was that he almost became caragor food

[@hyliangamer1707]

@@rudolfrudi5452 that actually does make sense in retrospect. They ARE assassins after all, it’d make sense they’d have the best chance of killing you the instant they can.

[@hyliangamer1707]

And I honestly pray that he gets something that scared me when I played. If you recruit almost every captain in one area, you have a chance to get a rebellion. A rebellion causes 3 random captains betray you and you get a 3v1 madness. I had it happen where I had to fight 2 epic captains and a rare one, I still survived and killed them due to my bodyguard saved me from an assassin.

I have been watching you since the Shadow of Mordor days in this series. The longer videos are welcomed due to the outrageous story arcs they reveal that gradually start overlapping each other. Whatever is best, these videos hold a special place for me.

I think this is one of your best videos in a while! The slower pace lets us really get invested in the stories, and it's always good to have a some calmer moments (well, calmer for you) to break up the craziness.
