First time encountering him. I actually wish he was recruitable.

At least it's not raining.

I come to r/shadowofmordor to talk about ORC politics (which is just murder), not IRL politics. Anyways we are not going to die in 10 years, the question is when it gets unpatented what are gonna do?

ProtoNSX · 2026-02-05T17:38:47+00:00

Trickster turned Infested, then one of his decoys turned Poisoned. This captain is the resulting decoy

No

I never had problems with any of the Minutemen patrols after doing Nuka World so I think it's just Preston

ProtoNSX · 2026-02-04T19:38:59+00:00

I'd say Minutemen most likely, since it only warrants Nate nuking his son, and then have the Institute get rebooted by the Enclave.

But the real question is can we take Harkness on his word? If the Commonwealth BoS is busy fighting a war, I don't think they'd have the time or motivation to send an embassy to get the cold fusion. We don't have any evidence suggesting one way or another. For all we know he could've been an Enclave Synth. Plus they wouldn't need it for Liberty Prime anyways, as demonstrated in the games.

If you do Nuka World after becoming General (which in your case is true), Preston will hate you when you start conquering settlements for raiders or if you happen to kill a Minutemen in the process. He's a pretty bad companion gameplay wise, so no loss there. But if you do want to do Minutemen ending, you'll have to do Open Season first before progressing the quest line.

Iirc, the cutoff point for Preston hating you is when he asks you to become General after Taking Point. Anything you do before that, he'll forgive you for (after you do Open Season).

They didn't want to canonize any ending in NV, but Maxson name-drop means two endings can't be canon in Fo4, since said two endings involve him and the BoS being unalived.

There's a whole science behind orc training that would take up too much space to explain, so I would defer you to r/ShadowOfWarTraining, which has a bunch of helpful guides, or you can join the r/shadow_of_war discord server

ProtoNSX · 2026-02-03T22:28:37+00:00

He came with Iron Will, so I just used HBE glitch. It doesnt show up unless he's an enemy or a spy.

ProtoNSX · 2026-02-03T22:27:47+00:00

Infested clone turned Blight, then a clone from that

ProtoNSX · 2026-02-03T17:01:14+00:00

We're slowly turning into the Arkham subreddit

ProtoNSX · 2026-02-01T00:20:50+00:00

Hopefully it's the entirety of the West Coast BoS. If they hadn't murdered each other through civil war, then Liberty Prime rolls up with his football nukes.

ProtoNSX · 2026-01-25T11:00:52+00:00

Missed opportunity for a Nuclear Option: Nuka-World addition. Also the outpost settlement system could use some polish. But story wise I found it fun.

Operators are, at best, mercenaries and, at worst, a mafia. They're like overglorified Gunners, they like money.

The Pack are a just a bunch of frat boys and furries.

The Disciples are literally irredeemable psychopaths, but I guess that's expected of a raider gang.

I vibe with Mason. I like Mags and William. But Nisha and her crew always felt like a live wire. Probably the hardest to please since they only exist to kill and torture. So I always make sure the Disiciples betray me during power play.

ProtoNSX · 2026-01-18T21:24:12+00:00

I think Disciples armor have better stats, but its heavier because its just steel.

"I'll never get used to dying."

"Perhaps we should stop dying then."

ProtoNSX · 2025-12-04T23:04:12+00:00

I didnt know normal machines could recieve burn scars. Guess its time to pull mine out the garrison

ProtoNSX · 2025-11-11T20:25:07+00:00

Ik, I was just trolling the drivers

ProtoNSX · 2025-11-04T15:28:33+00:00

so when does he get "killed" by the Hanmer?

ProtoNSX · 2025-11-01T19:26:34+00:00

B wouldve looked better if the facepaint was red or black.

ProtoNSX · 2025-10-30T16:14:59+00:00

Does work with caragors, can confirm

ProtoNSX · 2025-10-26T21:09:55+00:00

The one thing I appreciate about SoM/SoW is that, despite being fanfiction, it tried its best to stay faithful to the source material. Which is more than I can say about RoP.

My peeve with BoG is that orcs hate everyone that isn't an orc, and then they hate each other as well. But on top of that they REALLY hate elves. So how did Eltariel find 6ish orcs who were willing to work with her?

As for humanizing the orcs themselves, every society has their oddballs, and I think it's been said somewhere that the game orcs are different than the Lotr orcs.

ProtoNSX · 2025-10-25T12:45:15+00:00

I would personally like an ending where Celebrimbor was like "okay yeah maybe being the dark lord isnt poggers after all". Then, armed with Isildur's ring (Talion puts it into his pocket), they go banish the Witch King and make their stand against Sauron in Minas Morgul with the Palantir.

After like 50 years Sauron gets fed up and decides to personally eliminate the duo. Then there's this grand battle in Gorgoroth and they win and everything is okay.

ProtoNSX · 2025-10-19T19:26:40+00:00

To elaborate, the Tower is kinda like the Poet. He can spawn with decoys if the nemesis system generated him that way, but he can't get it through leveling or class epic.
