    Played through it during a rainy autumn a couple years back and the orc rivalries were fun for maybe ten hours, then I noticed I was fighting the same three personalities recycled endlessly.

    Ten hours isn't nothing, and pretending the system runs dry that fast ignores everyone still replaying it.

    I picked it up on a whim after a breakup, needed something mindless, and ended up hooked on branding captains for two straight weekends. The story itself I barely remember, honestly it's the systemic stuff that carried the whole experience for me.

    Two weekends branding captains and you still barely remember the story, that kind of says everything about why it sits at 215.

    215th with a 61% win rate is a strange combo, it usually means people respect it in a duel but nobody's pushing it up the board. The nemesis system alone should carry it higher against most of what it faces.

    Nemesis system, sure, but Skyrim gives you a world worth remembering after you've forgotten every orc captain.

    Comparado con Skyrim se siente mucho más limitado en exploración, pero el sistema de némesis le da algo que ni Skyrim ni God of War han intentado copiar del todo.

    Fair point on NEMESIS

    Le système de némésis unique, ils ont dit, avant de le ressortir tel quel dans la suite deux ans après

    Le système de nemesis, c'est vraiment ce qui justifie encore sa place aujourd'hui
