Seems like I need to friend Firaxis, so I can profit from my ginger sister's death. Bwahah.

I am liking the SoM. It's a total zone out game. I find that it's hard to charge your bow, so I just wreck people backstab style. I like the Batman Arkham Asylum combat system. Fun times!

I wish they would have done a little more with light vs heavy attack and more combos like GoW. maybe i just need to unlock a lot more stuff though. Also they kinda made it easy when surrounded, like only one guy leaps in at you at once. they take turns politely to attack you.

Yeah, i am experience the bow thing as well. i thought it was my mouse sticking at first. but it seems you hold it for a bit then pess the button again to actually release. but i noticed sometimes just letting go of the hold button releases it as well which is how i think it should work

Lol. Game is entertaining but sometimes retarded. There are like 4 bosses -- all of them well above my power -- in the same camp. Because they call for help, I cannot do any missions or roaming in that camp because it's insta death if you're spotted.

That's what makes it awesome imo. Learn their weaknesses, build up your char more then go back. Try to pick off the weaker ones using their weaknesses.

I like the game. But I've killed other bosses so the number in that area continue to grow. You cannot engage one without drawing the others -- it's actaully kinda comical. Right now I'm working on avenging Obs's death.

Initially I ran around doing white quests, but it seems the best thing to do is just constant attack bosses. You can tier up your abilities, get runes, and sell those that you don't need for XP points. Plus, the quests are much more enjoyable. Once I started doing that my character became much more powerful.

Oh -- and what's the deal with teh same guys coming back? I've butchered the same asshole like three times.

Also seems it's a good thing to pass time and let these guys grow in power so that you get better runes as you start to advance.

TL:DR version?

PC has the best graphics and some guy was able to execute all of Sauron's top orc captains in 1 fell swoop.
