What Did You Do To Your Bruz After His Quest Line (SPOILERS)
Title says it all

Turns out after you Shamed him he becomes an active nemesis in the ranks which caught me by surprise since i thought he would end up like Ratbag from the first game, You know, Doing the Story line then having him Vanish forever

And this is where this Discussions come in, I want to hear from Everyone what they did to their Bruz after his story line ended and he became even more of an Idiot

I'm not 100% sure, but I think once an Orc is Deranged they cannot become a Maniac. Deranged adds quite a few weaknesses and some of them never go away, whereas Maniac does the opposite.

EDIT - I've let Bruz live. Not out of contempt, but pity. Maybe the real Bruz is still in there and will re-emerge one day?

Orcs can survive being cleaved in half and burnt to death so maybe their brains might reboot eventually too...

I shamed my Bruz down to level 6 and he had a bunch of mortal weaknesses and no strength. I then brought him up to level 27 and he lost all his mortal weaknesses and only has one weakness, he also gained some more strengths.

It seems level-changing does have an impact on strengths and weaknesses which is pretty cool.

I really didnt like that quest.
I mean the betrayed was so forced.
But to answer your question:
I mind dominated him.
Made him my bodygaurd.
Traveled to one of my towers.
Summoned a drake.
Used drake to burn him to death.
I put him out of my misery.

Honestly:
Bruz is a horrible charater.
Not only is he forced on you as tutorial.
Talion pretty much screws him over.
He wanted the fort.
Any sane person would have given him the fort.
Why?
Because that is how you get loyality.
Give them a reason to believe that serving you is rewarded.
In fact his betrayed would have been alot better if he was given the fort and then betray us.
Atleast then it is his fault and not talion for being a douchbag.

Btw:
The entire campaign it little more then a glorified tutorial.
I wish they stop doing that.
People have their own Opinion and i respect that, and you know i think it would have been alittle better if he was the overlord and then Betrayed you because he was promised by the dark lord power beyond Imagening

But i think the way they did it also made scence as well, during my experiance with my playthrough i had orcs betray me a few times just out of the blue, a few times i shamed them to punish them for leaving my army and i would either kill them or rebrand them and make them fight to the death on champion level diffuculty that or make them fight a lower level orc i have in my army

In the end Bruz is totally in your control to decide his fate, you showed that you are not to be ♥♥♥♥♥♥ with, and all orcs and Olohs will know from now on

It does. Also Orcs killing certain captains seems to give certain strengths. Killing a captain scared of fire sometimes gives a fire weapon, for example.

However using Worse Than Death in particular often adds Fears and Mortal Weaknesses that seem permanent. I have levelled characters up to level 50 after deranging them and they still have 6 Fears they didn’t have pre-Shaming.

unoriginaly i made him a overlord to make him suffer more and maybe give a laugh at invaders of that fort.

That makes sense, if I remember correctly you don't get Worse Than Death until after shaming Bruz for the first time.

killed him. Never wanted a deranged uruk on my ranks. I don't do really the shaming.
Join or Die. That's my only policy.

My Bruz ambushed me randomly sometime after I'd finished the quest line. I decided to mercifully end his suffering and kill him. He ended up getting raised as a reverent by Zog during that quest line. Had to put him down again.

My Bruz ambushed me after I killed all his "brothers" and I shamed him again. He then challenged one of my captains so I let my captain kill him. Bruz made one more appearance during the final quest to kill Zog. Hopefully he's finally dead dead. No use for traitors.

Same.

Even thought he betrayed me, i got to like him so much that i was willing to give him a secon chance.

To bad you cant fix his mental state.

I let my Bruz bleed out in a Siege...

After I shamed him I felt horrible and tried to kill him but got ambushed by that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Tûka the Slaughterer then I had my drake eat poor Brûz
i made him legendary and hes a tank,had to shame him out of my army though glad he followed me to a fort area,sad though wish he could keep his witty humor
I made mine a warchief. He later bled out during a siege and I brought him back as an undead. He's stopped talking about the fort and now converses only in disgusting clicking noises.
