WTF Orc dialog.... *Spoilers*
I had one more fort defence left in Act IV, and I lost. lol Such is life. So 1st thing is 1st I've got to rescue my overlord. He's of course going to be exicuted. The mission starts, and as orc's tend to do. They talk :shit: beforehand. Now here is where the conflict in dialog that sparked this post enters in. I will also add that often times, I cringe when my dominated orcs will praise Sauron or "the Dark Lord" before pit fights, and various points that ilicit orcs conversating, but this one example takes the cake for me.

So the exicutioner orc says his piece and my (tied to a spit ex-)overlord says some line where the jist of it was, what the other orc just said didn't matter, only what the "Dark Lord" said did. Then I dominated the exicutioner orc and freed mine. At which point my orc says to me "Praise the Bright Lord"...

C'mon Monolith, haven't you guys hear of continuity? Sauron and Celembrimbor are one being that is my enemy, and my own troops are praising both halves (individually) instead of me. And in this instance right after I (Talion the nearly Nazghul) saved him from the aformentioned enemyWTF Ocr dialog... :steamfacepalm::steamfacepalm::steamfacepalm:

Others have pointed out, for example, that the orcs continue to talk about you as the Bright Lord in act 4.

I think the orcs think you are and always were the bright lord. They arent so smart to understand celebrimbor, who they never saw anyway, vs. just Talion.

Traitor!

The orcs have never been able to see Celebrimbor, they've only ever seen Talion as the Bright Lord. hence why you're still the Bright lord even after becoming a Nazgul

Even if you write it off a such, the ones you have dominated (team Bright Lord, for arguments sake) still praise Sauron. That's lame. :steamsad:

Those lines are mostly from Ologs... if you read the appendices in the game. Ologs are created by Sauron and will serve Sauron. So even if you dominated them they still praise Sauron because he is their creator after all.

You dominated them, they are now fighting against Sauron. Praising the dark lord while he has you tied to a stake about to get exicuted isn't so easily excused as an appendice saying Sauron created them. It in fact just remains a weak bandaid for a fair sized oversight.

I don;t hate the game because of it. I am just voicing how silly a thing it is, and that it shouldn't have been over looked (if not pushed aside) so easily.
