Why they add Black Hand skin ?

[Kardygan]

I think it's a bit weird to kill Uruks as the Black Hand... They should have put his armor on Talion. What do you think guys ?

[VonArens]

I agree to be honest, I like the armor as it is but it just feels a bit out of place using it as the Black Hand and not Talion

I think it will bring fun and variety. Whether it is nonsense I can logically only answer with yes. But it 's fun , is not bad and free. Who does not like it does not even play with it! The black hand skin looks good and the face of Talion I already know enough. The three runes or better say "the three stooges" are a joke because there are already exist in vanilla game and not new. I think that's cheap and ridiculous.

It's just a bit of fun.

Yeah the skin is cool BTW but I don't really understand this choice. And I don't understand the runes too ha ha... I think the game it's already too easy and that's a bad choice to give them just like that.

At least it's free and optional, I understand it's odd but it looks awesome.

That bothers you? How about we start with the fact that you kill Uruks in this game. If we take the books as source then the Uruk-hai were created by saruman. Considering that the game does play before the events of LOTR, there shouldn't be any Uruk-hai.

If we take the Movies Lore instead, then there were so called "black Uruks", which aren't from the book universe, but even in the Jackson Verse of Middle Earth Black Uruks were extremely rare.

We aren't killing Orcs and Uruk is not a synonym for Orc in the world of Middle Earth. Orcs are perversions of the Eldar/Elfen race. Uruks are Half Orc half Human, the reason why they are bigger and stronger and more resistant to light.

So really... running around as the Black Hand, who i do not remember ever mentioned in neither book or film (not to mention that the game claims he killed the two blue wizards, who actually are the main reason sauron was defeated later, thanks to them successfully hindering his operation in the east of middle earth and thus being able to overwhelm the western parts where they fought the last ring war - And yes, in the games alternate universe they are dead as one of the collectables is a statue of them making it clear that the Black hand killed the two blue Wizards), and murdering Uruks (no they aren't orcs. The whole Ratbag storyline features the whole 'we are obsolete' now that the Uruks are here) isn't really that much of a stretch. If you would want to have a lore reason for it.. why shouldn't the black Hand weed the troops of his master of the weak and only allow the strong to persist.

Honestly, the whole game shouldn't be looked at as a lore piece. Just have fun and kill some orcs and with Orcs i mean Uruks.

Dude... That was not necessary to explain that. Everybody knows that there are a lot of mistakes in this game compared to Tolkien's universe. I just think it would be better to have Black Hand's armor on Talion. I know we could imagine that we could kill weak orcs with him but it's a bit weird, again, when a captain calls you "ranger" or something else. x)

I repeat, it's a great skin but they made a strange choice in my opinion. :)

Plus there are a lot of mistakes in LOTR movies too, so yeah...
