Is the nemesis system still in the game?

[trollface11321]

So I wanna play this game, never played anything I. The series but I hear all the time that people say the nemesis system is like the coolest thing in the universe so I wanna try it out.


When I was looking up this game though I saw a quora post asking why the devs removed it from the game in an update.

Is that true? Am I gonna miss out on the cool system? Or am i stupid?

No, the core gameplay requires the Nemesis system. It's still very much in the game.

What that Quora post is likely referring to, is the online for the first game, Shadow of Mordor, which included transferring your nemesis orcs from SoM to SoW.

When the devs removed that save file transfer, they just made you encounter default/starting nemesis at the certain story parts your first game orcs would have appeared. Everything's working fine, and online's still on in Shadow of War.
