Shadow of Mordor E3 Gameplay trailer, screenshots focus on Nemesis System and Power Struggles

The E3 trailer for Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor was an interesting one in which the developers chose to focus a bit more on the Nemesis System, one of the key features which allows for a lot of replayability in Monolith Productions action RPG. It explains how the traits, personality and appearances of each nemesis is unique for each player due to the dynamically generated content.

More importantly, it reveals how the player can choose to dominate or terrify some opponents using Wraith powers, potentially leading them to supplant other enemies via internal duels/power struggles. Those who defeat Talion increase in power, which makes them prime candidates for gaining ranks and progressing in the Or society; you can aid their progress my helping them complete missions or designate targets for them to try and defeat, or participate in beast hunts and feasts.
