Got killed by the first non-mission relevant captain I encountered - Thrak the Sneak.

It turned into a game of switcheroo with me slaying him and him slaying me for much of the first half of the game until he finally stopped returning. I was certain and relieved as a new captain took up his spot on the nemesis window. I squealed with delight, knowing that this monstrosity that had grown strong alongside me had finally died.

I make my way through the rest of the game, making a point out of killing every uruk that could turn into a new nemesis before they become trouble.

...then, the end of the game draws nearer. I sail out to confront the Tower of Sauron. At the gates of his fortress, he stood. It made no sense but there he stood.

Thrak, the Sneak. Mutilated beyond recognition, skin bleached and dried out by my mindfire, but his poisoned crossbow brandished at me, ready to fire. I knew that if I did not put him down quickly, he would end my assault on the gate.

So I drew my bow - he was skilled enough to deflect an arrow, but that was not my intent. I closed the distance with a shadow strike, struck his face and drove my blade into him again and again as he stood there, stunned. Again and again, I lashed out against him and beheaded those uruks that attempted to stop me from putting him down for good.

The bastard finally went to his knees, dared me to show mercy again. My blade swung true, separating his head from his shoulders, ending him once and for all.

For me, that was the end of the game. That was the finale. What followed was filler. As far as I had been concerned, I had just destroyed the final boss of the game and nothing that the game could throw at me then would eclipse this one moment of final, sweet, glorious revenge.

And that was Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor for me.

Holy schist, this thread is mica me sick.
DF Players never truly leave.  They just abandon the fortress for a few years and then reclaim.

Learned that Clerics are absolutely awesome. Attacking the boss army, the first three units that attacked it had to be pulled back to the nearest town to heal to avoid anyone getting killed. The boss unit consists of three heavy defense soldiers with two archers behind them. The next unit, led by my main character managed to go a few rounds because of the Cleric standing next to him. Still only won because the unit leader was front and center, allowing everyone to bring him down, causing an instant win.

That's also not counting the unit lead by a Cleric named Cookie, which consists of a Golem and Griffin up front with Cookie herself in back healing the tanks. She broke multiple attempts to gang up on her by herself.

Sneak attack one-shoted  a vampire with an orcish bow of frost. The own? I was a sword-and-shield heavy armor build and had no right at all to be that sneaky.

No. I suppose there are similarities, but I'm fairly certain angry birds doesn't let me charge into a battalion of knights with a car made of circular saws.

Defeated a raid boss, which means it is intended for 4 players, solo. The fight itself was quite boring, mostly consisting of me running around, but damn I feel good about it.

T'was the pre-sequel. Athena with a self-healing focused build. Use shield, hit everyone so they bleed and enjoy invulnerability.

Convinced an old friend from a former life that I was her pet turtle from her childhood. She apologized for flushing me down the toilet because she thought I was dead. It was very touching.

I know it was the presequel. That's the joke. Cool that Athena's viable then, I was planning on playing her when I eventually got the game.

Killed a motherfucking HIGH DRAGON. It was really close and I have no idea how I won. My main character was down for the count, AFTER my healer had revived them with a long-cooldown spell, so I was operating at 1/2 damage, with only my [underequipped]archer, healer and tank. And the High Dragon was still at 1/3ish health. Still, through a combination of approximately a bajillion lyrium potions and a dedicated Spirit Healer to keep my tank up, we eventually wore it down enough that I thought I could kill it. And then FLAME SPIT. Twice in a row, before my party could stand up after being knocked down from the first flame spit. My healer got knocked out and my other party members were almost dead from fire DOT and wouldn't last more then a few second. And then they get healed. My healer is now alive and seems to be superpowered, at least temporarily. Eventually, I triumph and defeat one of the toughest enemies in the game.

That reminded me of the last time that I ran through DA:O.  Was fighting a High Dragon (a specific one that I won't mention for spoilers, those of you who've played know the one) who stood solely in one spot, ended up finding a sweet spot where all she did was shoot her fire ball.  She knocked out the rest of my team and I had an IV drip of potions going, ended up remembering that on higher difficulties friendly fire is a thing when she burned herself to death.

Big, fiery dragon just killed itself with fireballs.  Victory had never been sweeter.

I ran out of HE shells in my destroyer so did a berserker rush into an enemy destroyer and managed to gank him with my torpedoes.

That'd be the advantage of being a child of Malkav.

Beat Andrei, and it only took 3 5 10 tries! Swords until both our health was low, then some .44 rounds cleaned up nice.

PAYDAY addiction is the best addiction.

Next step: Death wish four stores. Or mallcrasher if you're feeling hardcore, cause it can't be stealthed :D

Got nigh on frame perfect timing to beat a miniboss. Lots of trial and error involved but I managed it.
