After the success of the non-movie based Arkham games, and director Peter Jackson telling them not to just copy his films, Monolith searched for their own story in the decades between the events of The Hobbit and Sam and Frodo’s journey through Mordor.<br /><br />With Middle-earth Enterprises at their side, Monolith decided to combine Celebrimbor, the key Elven smith in Tolkien’s origin story for the Rings of Power, with a new character: Talion.<br /><br />Monolith developed the Nemesis system in which prior interactions affected your next encounter, but the many combinations resulted in hard to find and hard to fix bugs for developers, even after release. Monolith also faced uproar both when a developer accused them of copying code from Assassin’s Creed 2, and when it surfaced that Shadow of Mordor review copies were only given to those who agreed to write shining reviews. However, accusations ceased when people realized it was actually just a good game.<br /><br />Have fun!<br /><br />---------<br />The Daily Byte: http://bit.ly/1z7uBMv<br />Lore! http://bit.ly/nNfsws<br />Who is Polaris? http://bit.ly/14Z6vUP<br /><br />---------<br />JOIN POLARIS: http://bit.ly/17MTzDW<br />POLARISGO: http://bit.ly/1ec7Hu6<br />Twitter: http://bit.ly/12ecJOw<br />Facebook: http://on.fb.me/12Ue00n<br />Google+: http://bit.ly/16l2toB<br />Instagram: http://bit.ly/1aiOYgZ<br />Tumblr: http://bit.ly/13HgrW4<br />Music courtesy of Epidemic Sound and Audio Micro<br /><br />---------<br />Thanks for watching Lore!
