At the beginning of the story, Celebrimbor is captured by Shelob, the spider of Cirith Ungol. The player continues the story of the ranger Talion and the spirit of the elf lord Celebrimbor, who shares Talion's body, as they forge a new Ring of Power to amass an army to fight against Sauron. Set between the events of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, the game follows the continuing adventures of Gondorian Ranger Talion and the Elf-wraith Celebrimbor in their campaign against Sauron. A sequel to the 2014 game Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, Shadow of War was released on 10 October 2017 for the Playstation 4, Xbox One, and Microsoft Windows. Middle-earth: Shadow of War is an open world, action-adventure roleplaying video game developed by Monolith Productions. This article or section is in the early stages of construction and should not be viewed as complete, or even close to being finished. " We have a long way to go, and there is time ahead for thought." - Treebeard For me i have 100% the game on my main account (doing a second playthrough on this account with family sharing enabled since the game only has one save file) and i love this game.This article or section needs expansion and/or modification. So i can 100% see why people who are really into the lore, don't like this game. ) Obviously a game can't be 100% canon but we are talking about the story here and it ♥♥♥♥♥ up a lot of what we know about the universe, (SPOLERS) for example apparently Isildur is a Nazghul even though it's impossible since the Nazghul were made like over a 1000 years before he was even born along with other inconsistencies. Just play the game and as long as you don't have to fight care bears in a LotR franchise. So, then you have people who are fine with 99%, some with 98%., some with 50%.Īnd as a dev - you cannot make them all happy. and that would be a movie.Īs soon as you start a game it is your story and could never be considered 100% canon because you walk the path and thousands of different paths cannot all be canon. If it was, it could only be a long cutscene. I get your point and I do not understand that issue some people have.Ī game can never be 100% canon. And i'm fine with it aswell because i'm not a super fan but people who are will and do have a problem with it. Something doesn't have to be canon in order for it to break canon. Originally posted by CyTe:I know it's not considered canon but it still breaks canon nonetheless. And I am pulling these dates from the lore. So they could have missed the Nazgul running around for a few hundred years. This 400 to 500 years after Sauron returned to Dol Guldur. The Conuncil attacked in 2941 T.A and Saruman agreed because he thought Sauron was getting close to finding the One Ring. They were only shocked in the movie version, In the books Gandalf knew that Sauron was in Dol Guldur in 2850- 2851 T.A but Saruman did not want to attack because he already started to crave the power of the One Ring. So I persume that the capture was under the disguise of orcs taking Minas Ithil. Plus the Ringwraiths can move around without the black cloaks on. That White Council did not form until 2463 T.A the same year the one ring was found by Gollum three years after the peaceful watch ends. If anything he would rot rather than age. That said Talion is undead, he is in state of undeath, like Vampire. And wouldn't have been so shocked in the Hobbit. If they were up and around in 2002 T.A then surely the council of elrond would have noticed in 940 years they were freely roaming around. Originally posted by ThatAwkwardGiraffe:Ringwraiths retook Minas Ithil in 2002 T.A (this happens now during Shadow of War)Īround the same time they did this they retook the Black Gate(this happens in Shadow of Mordor). So it is possible that this one take place 2951. Shadow of Mordor seems to take place around 2940-2941 according to Torvin's Diary in Lord of the Hunt which seems to be a good indicator of when he meet Talion. This is the biggest inconsistency out there. Another thing they could have just lost contact with The Black Gate and Minas Ithil for 900 years. There is also a possiblity that Gondor Reclaimed the Black Gate and Minas Ithil within the 962 years and now are being retaken again by Mordor. Ringwraiths retook Minas Ithil in 2002 T.A (this happens now during Shadow of War)Īround the same time they did this they retook the Black Gate(this happens in Shadow of Mordor).For this to make sense Talion has to be 962 years by the time the second game takes place this could be possible due to being attached to a wraith (unlikely). Mount Doom bursts into flame 2954 T.A (this is seen toward the end of the first game) Sauron begins rebuilding Barad-dur 2951 T.A (this is refrenced in the game by grunts talking. I calculate that this game takes place around 2964 Third Age (about 36 years before the Fellowship of the Ring)
