This thread has gone pretty quiet it seems. I've been working my way through the game, just defeated the Tower last night. I am really enjoying the game - as you unlock more abilities combat becomes even more fun, the stealth is great especially in areas that allow for lots of vertical movement and to top it all off it's set in Middle-Earth so I'm enjoying the bits of lore and the story line too.
The Nemesis system really impressed me too at the part when you travel across the sea to the isalnd where you fight the Tower and upon arriving there you face off with your nemesis and his band of Uruks. For me it was no one less than "Shaka the Wanderer" a Uruk captain that had really been a pain in my side for a great deal of the game. He had risen up from being a humble Uruk soldier by landing the killing blow on me - since then, as a captain - he managed to always show up when I was battling against another captain. He had even killed me again. I had slain him a good couple of times too, once even in pure revenge - but Talion never decapitated him and so he came back time after time. I should've taken a picture of him, head encased in an iron mask because of the scars I had given him.
Having Shaka face me at this point was a really cool touch and one that (although I understand the mechanics behind it) felt natural and poetic even.
Looking forward to finishing up the game and giving some of the DLC a go too.
