Joker waiting room
You can do quests and wander freely wherever you want? Must you go to quest markers or can you just go around killing orc leaders randomly wherever you find them?

It's open world, so you can free roam and just cut heads off if that's what you desire. Enemies eventually respawn. However, as with most open world games advancing the story opens more of the map, skills, etc.
The game is great.
Im at about 30% atm (8-10 hours). It is a solid 9/10 so far and it keeps getting better.
You can go through the orc chain of command and mark a certain orc (like this dirty fucker KaKa of the Pit thats killed me three times already) and it will give you their general area on the map so you can hunt who you like next. Just keep in mind if you die whoever kills you will level up, get stronger, and work their way up, so if you want to make a serious dent in Saurons army you cant really die for a bit or more orcs will replace the ones youve already killed. But yes it is open world in that sense of being able to choose what to do next, except now killing of orc captains will affect the other missioms.
I would assume you can do whatever you want since it's an open world game.
I like branding the Captians and then making them fight the War Chief they are supposed to guard. It is also fun to make War Chiefs fight each other.
I havent gotten the ability to brand yet just interrogate. How is the main story shaping up Ive gotten too distracted by the murdering of orcs to do too much of it yesterday.
It is looking pretty good so far. I like the direction it is heading. Moreover I like the ablility to read further in depth into the lore and world in the menu. That being said Im not far into the story either. Ive just killed A LOT of things and done side quests to unlock abilites.
Are you finding it very difficult to clear out the chain of command? I will die once and it feels like everyone Ive slaughtered gets replaced more or less.
Does this in any way influence what happens to Ratbag assuming I just randomly kill captains without advancing the story? His dialogue and the background music gave me a Jak & Daxter comic vibe, I love that green dude from what little of the story mode I watched.
Well Ive done only one mission with ratbag and only got around to killing 4-5 other uruks (most of which were replaced after a few deaths). This game does have a lot more attacks that cant be countered though than the Arkham series and is definitely harder to crowd control in large groups of enemies. Also you have to time your attacks one button press per strike or your attacks are significantly weaker so mashing wont save you. As for post campaign content, I dont know Im not there yet but I know this aint Destiny where you play through all the content in a day and are stuck playing the same 4 strikes afterwards.
In my experience with most good open world game with a ton of side quests, there are always lots of things to do after you complete the main story, unless of course you decide to do them all before finishing the game. However, if you just play "regularly," without thinking too much about what to do next, and just alternate between main quests and side activities, you usually are left with a lot more to do. I don't know if Shadow of Mordor is any different but the reviews have been generally very positive and such an issue, had it existed, would have usually been pointed out.
I honestly feel that the combat system, while fun, is even more forgiving than the Arkham games. Talion will literally just track to the closest enemy while you mash away at the attack button, but the execution kills and special attacks feel satisfying.
I have to compare this game to Borderlands the pre sequel in terms of content because after I buy either I'll only be able to buy the other on december.
Lol its not as bad as Batman dude he would flying triple somersault kick you from across the map if you were in focus mode. What is more forgiving though is the counters, you can cancelany animation you are in into a counter, but like I said this game has more non-counterable attacks than Batman so I think its fine. Its a very familiar system and same button layout as Batman (attack, counter, stun, dodge on main 4 buttons) butthe way it plays in the end is a little different with the more varied enemies and decapitation finishes.
TIL Arkham Series has meh combat.
TIL?
I mean, it's just my opinion. In Arkham I personally felt like I had to direct Batman a bit more than I do Talion.
