Adding Nazgûls as warchiefs during Shadow Wars

[Hika Elm]

Hi guys !
While everyone is asking a nazgul skin, I propose this :

To see nazguls during fort sieges. As defender and as attacker.
They could appear as warchiefs during the siege screen, or be a surprise during the fight.

It could be a way to show the corruption of Talion growing up during Act IV. And it could be very fun in the endless SW.

Great idea, a Nazgul leading the assault to a fortress!
Epic!

On one hand that would be cool, on the other hand that would make absolutely zero thematic sense.

They could add both a skin(Nazgul or Sauron) and Nazgul appearences during the shadow wars. I would rather the Nazgul be a surprise guest then a leader(to successfully defend or attack a fortress, you should have to defeat all the nazgul as well as the warchiefs). When the nazgul arrives at the fight they could make the screaming sound to let the player know that the nazgul has arrived.

Here's to hoping they chose to implement this as a feature.

It makes sense to me. The Nazgul are no longer in charge of Minas Morgul after Talion takes it over at the end of chapter 3, plus he's taken over the other fortresses as well. Why wouldn't the Nazgul try to help a hand in taking fortresses back and defending them?

Because the Nazgul are still loyal to Sauron, who you're fighting against in the Shadow Wars. You couldn't justify it as Talion branding them because not only was he only able to do so in the first place with the combination of the New Ring and Celebrimbor's power, but he also outright refused to do so which is what prompted him to kill Isildur in the first place because he wasn't comfortable with the idea of dominating the mind of a fellow human. He could only justify doing it against Uruks because he doesn't see them as people.

Oh, I see where the confusion comes in. I don't mean Talion would ever work with the Nazgul. I mean if we are doing a fortress defence mission that the Nazgul should be able to join the enemies attack. But if we lose a fortress, then when we are doing an assault, the Nazgul should be able to step in like an extra warchief to try to stop us from retaking the fortress again.

Ooooooh I see now. Yeah that would be cool.

You're welcome, buddy!

People, lore does no matter much at this point, it's a game, it's to have fun, Nazgûls leading sieges would add a lot to depth and immersion and make combat even more awesome. It would enhance endless siege a lot. :)
