Nazgul Skin Suggestion - Story Spoilers
So... This is going to be a really silly request and I doubt it'll happen and this is beating a dead horse I'm sure, but I figured I'd throw this out there despite there being a 0.01% anyone from Monolith will read this and say "Eh, why not?"

As I'm sure the developers are aware, one of the BIGGEST skin requests for Shadow of War is a Nazgul skin for Talion. I support that idea entirely as Sauron, the Nazgul, Palpatine, and Jack of Blades (Fable) are my all time favorite villains. They've said the July update will bring big changes and new skins and many people are hoping a Nazgul skin is among that... I want to add more to that by requesting the ICONIC Nazgul screech to the skin. Anyone that has watched the movies will likely remember a screech or two by the Ringwraiths. They could add it by having Talion (in the Nazgul skin) doing one of the marvelous screeches when he dominates an Uruk, or even when he activates his ringwraith ultimate ability that summons four Gondorian phantoms. Again, it's incredibly silly but I, along with a few others, would adore it. Sure, some people might find it annoying, I can't speak for everyone but the entire point of the Nazgul skin is for people who love the Nazgul. I highly doubt it will happen and I'm not sure if Monolith would have to pay to use the screech in their game... BUT they've already used the screech for one of their trailers, so I know they have it saved somewhere. The Nazgul have at least 5 or 6 different screeches that they do, Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-earth II managed to have every single one in the game.

I'll be happy with just a Nazgul skin, but oh man if I can get that shriek in Shadow of War I'll DIE from my huge nerd heart beating so fast.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the trailer they used one of the Nazgul screeches in, I mean honestly the entire trailer sets the game up about Talion being a Nazgul, so if anything it's fitting.

What does anyone else think? Good idea? Bad idea? I'd love it, but I know not everyone would.

Again, silly I know but COOOOOME ON THIS IS THE ONLY GAME SET IN MIDDLE-EARTH THAT IS PRETTY MUCH BASED AROUND *BEING* A NAZGUL.

nazgul skin doesn't make sense
once talion is nazgul he ouldn't kill orcs, or fight sauron, he would fight the men or elves, a nazgul is the personification of sauron's will

Not to mention the rebel Nazgul sisters in Blade of Galadriel expansion? It's clear Monolith is going their own way with the lore, which is exactly what Tolkien would want. Those Nazgul in the DLC were in full-blown rebellion... Sauron is so busy fighting with Celebrimbor that his hold over the Nazgul, especially after the temporary defeat of the Witch-King, means his servants kinda regain some of their freedom. Besides, as posted above it's just a skin, but yeah I'm pretty sure it would make sense. :) The only reason Talion succumbed, in the end, was that the Witch-King had resurrected and Talion just couldn't fight anymore.
