      It’s even deeper than that. They will have names and personalities. If you defeat one by cutting off its arm, it will reappear later with a prosthetic arm and maybe even some dialogue about your last encounter. They keep all the scars from your battles.

        That’s so cool! I’m going to read up on that after dinner. Are the game it’s in worth playing or is it going to supporting a shit company?

          They are the Shadow of Mordor games, based in the LotR world. You play a protagonist who’s story takes place “behind the scenes” of the series. They go on sale or marked as free at least once or twice a year. I personally haven’t found time to play through them but always want to!

          I liked the first shadow of … game better but the general consensus is that the second game is better. If you like LOTR even slightly and also enjoy Batman Arkham style combat I think you’ll enjoy them.
