I have an office!  

Edit: Perhaps I should point out that it's rather dark and I might have to experiment with lights. I also need to pilfer an inkwell and another quill somewhere. (I'm sure I did pilfer an extra quill recently, though... )

I'll also need to add some journals and letters, I think. Should have plenty of those... 

Pfft! That's nothing, I have a library 

 

How.... neat.

And nicely lit by the fire for reading too 

uh-huh...

And I have once again checked out a place and found it to not be what I was looking for. But I found something I missed first time around - had to google it though and apparently there are certain things that need to be much improved before that new thing is even a thing. I have also, once again, waited too late with other stuff and need to get myself ready for bed, so I can survive one more day of work. This week, that is.

You keep your spoilery secrets.

Remember when I only had one nemesis in Shadow Of Mordor?
Those were the good old days.
My recent inability to do an archery mission has left me with several nasty fellows who enjoy coming after me. So I thought I'd better leave that archery thing alone and try to take a few of these guys out.
Sneaked into an execution to kill one of them but then got killed by another. So that's -1 but +1, not at all a waste of time.
But then I noticed that this new nemesis was having a celebratory feast near by. So I sneaked into that and dropped onto him with a stealthy attack... only to find out that he's immune to stealth attacks. Should have checked the intel.
A big fight ensued but I hit him with a long sequence of combo attacks and he got scared and fled!
Come back here and die!
 
So I chased him down, and it was a damn long chase too. Went on for several minutes right across the map until I got close enough to jump him and then cut him down with some more combos.
And just as I was feeling smug and satisfied I heard an alarm.
I had a look around and realised that he'd run me into a big Orc Stronghold and about 20-30 of them surrounded me including some high level guy with a club. Let's get out of here.
And then he started chasing me across the map.

 

 

What's Ciri doing in Middle Earth? 

I think it's Daenarys...

She has two swords on her back, and some semblance of armour

Well she's doing a lot of running at the moment.
And calling herself Lithariel.

One slightly odd thing about the game is that the player skins are entirely superficial. The main story revolves around a guy called Talion and even when you switch to the other characters everyone continues to refer to you as if you're still Talion.
