Maybe I just don't understand it, because I'm just a person interested in Middle Earth and not a Middle-Earth Fanatic, but idk.

(I also don't understand why so many people are freaking out about the incoming game "Middle Earth: War of Shadow"... Is it just because EA is doing something with Middle Earth, but not something what actually "happend", so something "lore-friendly?) Because it's no longer Tolkien's universe, which is what we are trying to replicate, is it not?

As for Shadow of War, it's a blatant cash grab that tries to milk the popularity of Middle-earth, while creating a practically unrelated universe.

Ithilion, Discussions Moderator (Auta i lome) 23:25, March 9, 2017 (UTC) I saw an article about it and I was like, mordor, orcs, ranger, celebrimbor then... Wtf is this crap, ranger recruiting orcs? Destroy mordor from inside? Wtf What's neat is that in the unfinished tales it is mentioned that the Black Riders might be able to control people's minds if they come into contact with them. Basically they can effectively turn people into loyal servents who obey their every command. I actually think it's kinda cool that EA is utalising such an obscure part of the Legendarium for how Talion and Celebrimbor are able to control orcs.
