Shadow of Mordor game - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Hi all,

I got into a discussion on FB the other day about this game with my brother and a couple of friends. Although it looks amazing graphically, I was skeptical about the idea of a wraith "helping" a random Gondorian ranger in any way. I'm very much a novice when it comes to Middle Earth knowledge but this seemed incredibly lore-breaking to the point of absurdity. Has anyone else seen this? I'll post a couple of links below. The first is a video that walks the viewer through some of the gameplay and the second is an interview with the director of design for the game, Micheal De Plater, where he talks a bit about the design choices. What do you all think?

Thanks for reading.
