I am Become Bilbo Baggins
Shadow of War is currently on PSN, and this got me thinking of a potential sequel.
I actually really enjoyed Shadow of War. The story line was absolutely trash. Pure fan fiction that would make Tolkien roll in his grave, but I loved the gameplay, especially the Nemesis system.
I think if there is a sequel, then it should be set in the first age. Rather than being set in Mordor, the game should be set in Angband with Morgoth being the main antagonist. They can't really do anything with the third age anymore and first age would give the game a fresh perspective, especially with a new location.
It would also mean battles against dragons and lots of Balrogs! This would give the scope for bigger battles, and with next gen hardware, we could have battles with thousands of units on each side, complete with dedicated units of infantry, archers, cavalry etc.
However, I'd like to see more focus on the story. The story of Shadow of Mordor was bad enough, but the story of Shadow of War was just embarrassingly bad.
So, what say you GAF? A sequel/prequel to Shadow of War, or do we let the series die on the ash covered slopes of Mt Doom?
