i don't think I've ever played a game that had anything similar before.

I really need to get back into playing this again. - Scots-IrishStephen Apr 2, 10:39
Who designed this game? I ask because Ken Levine, the Bioshock guy, was raving about a different play mechanic. - David Apr 2, 10:37 1
- I think the randomness of the game is due to the Nemesis system. -- nm - Shaun Apr 2, 10:39
It's probably the best game I've played on the PS4 so far -- nm - decline Apr 2, 10:32
It's a great game. Just got it about a week ago. I agree. The nemesis system makes it very cool. - Volnelk Apr 2, 10:31
semi-related. My favorite D&D campaign back in HS was from a DM that did basically this same idea. There was some minor character in the Temple of - oblique Apr 2, 10:03

    - Until you finally chop their heads off in battle. That's perma-death for them. - Jovian Apr 2, 10:08
    - Not sure of the exact mechanics, but bascially yes. -- nm - Shaun Apr 2, 09:58 6
      - Yeah I hear thats what makes it a great game thought the story doesnt make sense with the LOTR lore I hear -- nm - eag Apr 2, 10:30
      - seems like that would make certain enemies impossible to beat at some point? -- nm - groiny Apr 2, 09:58 4
        
        it can, for awhile. Skun, my arch-nemesis on my first playthrough, was almost invincible for awhile. - Jovian Apr 2, 10:11
        
        Only if they kill you enough times, and you don't level up yourself. -- nm - Roger More Apr 2, 10:00 1
