You see those warriors from Hammerfell? They’ve got curved swords. Curved. Swords.
This sounds like a dubbed over parody
Dude i watched LOTR films and none of the gondorians were black not being racist but seriously look through all the cutscenes if you spot one tell me.
They say in game hes not gondorian
I never saw no dark skin vassals either
0:25 Well I wasn't expecting that voice to come from him. Lol
OctoberHourglass Same.
Ikr its cah
OctoberHourglass exactly no blk man sounds like that lol
The VO on the merc leader is terrible :p. It sounds hollow and echoes like he is talking into a tiny box. Contrasted with Baranor, it's like they aren't even on the same planet.
did the bald guy win a contest to be in a video game or something? sounds like an 18 year old white guy recording on a consumer microphone.
You should totally make an Orc expansion, where we'd play as an uruk. Gang up abilities, sending minions into their deaths to gain advantage, torturing humans to learn information on our enemies, uruk rivalries. Upon defeat, we'd gain scars that would be implemented into gameplay, like a claw hand would give some strengths and some weaknesses. Upon death, we'd play as another uruk, ready to gather the scattered forces of his predecessor. We'd need to prove our strength to gain allies, who'd only follow us until a stronger one came.
Or how about we play as Sauron? Nice Idea though:)
Or play as Ratbag and Ranger.
Ratbag is best character.
This is a good idea but it’ll probably never happen
Alternative Idea.
Ratbag and Forthog, After Return of the King, Gather up what's left of Sauron's Forces to build a new nation and try and keep them in line so they don't all get massacred out of existance.
Forcing reforms to try and.......reform them.
Brilliant idea.
Minas ithil has fallen... sometime ago i believe.
Random guy: this text written by Tolkien the Lore Master says it fell 1000 years ago!
Baranor: 0_0
Jokes aside, i will be waiting to play this DLC.
Nathaniel Claw You have to remember, this story takes place around TA 2002, a LONG time before the War of the Ring
Wolfgang Rutherford some decades actually
50 years before the War of the Ring
that's abit harsh
I would have actually preferred if the entire game series was set around this time period, ditching Gollum who wasn't even born back then, of course also altering the beginning, for example instead of the Black Gate being where Talion was stationed, make him one of the garrison of Cirith Ungol, and as we know:
"As with Narchost and Carchost, the Towers of the Teeth, so here too the vigilance had failed, and treachery had yielded up the Tower to the Lord of the Ringwraiths."
Then we could have entire subplot about hunting down the traitor who was directly responsible for death of the garrison and Talion's family. Of course the specific time period feel should have to be build, the siege and fall of Minas Ithil is the reign of king Earnil II, just about 20 years before Witch-king returned to Mordor from his defeat at Angmar (and Earnur, king's son took part in it) in year 1980 T.A. (which is curiously also the year when Balrog is unleashed in Moria), other Nazgul were gathered already centuries earlier, but all other strongholds of the watch over Mordor were abandoned after the Great Plague, 360 years earlier than the Minas Ithil siege started.
"1980: The Witch-king comes to Mordor and there gathers the Nazgûl."
The Return of the King, LoTR Appendix B, The Tale of Years: The Third Age
"It was thus in the reign of King Eärnil, as later became clear, that the Witch-king escaping from the North came to Mordor, and there gathered the other Ringwraiths, of whom he was the chief."
The Return of the King, LoTR Appendix A, Annals of the Kings and Rulers: The Realms in Exile: The Southern Line: Heirs of Anárion
"Atanatar Alcarin son of Hyarmendacil lived in great splendour, so that men said precious stones are pebbles in Gondor for children to play with. But Atanatar loved ease and did nothing to maintain the power that he had inherited, and his two sons were of like temper. The waning of Gondor had already begun before he died, and was doubtless observed by its enemies. The watch upon Mordor was neglected.
...
The second and greatest evil came upon Gondor in the reign of Telemnar, the twenty-sixth king, whose father Minardil, son of Eldacar, was slain at Pelargir by the Corsairs of Umbar. (They were led by Angamaitë and Sangahyando, the great-grandsons of Castamir.) Soon after a deadly plague came with dark winds out of the East The King and all his children died, and great numbers of the people of Gondor, especially those that lived in Osgiliath. Then for weariness and fewness of men the watch on the borders of Mordor ceased and the fortresses that guarded the passes were unmanned."
Return of the King Appendix A: "Annals of the Kings and Rulers" I The Númenorean Kings (iv) Gondor and the Heirs of Anárion
...
"The third evil was the invasion of the Wainriders, which sapped the waning strength of Gondor in wars that lasted for almost a hundred years. The Wainriders were a people, or a confederacy of many peoples, that came from the East; but they were stronger and better armed than any that had appeared before. They journeyed in great wains, and their chieftains fought in chariots. Stirred up, as was afterwards seen, by the emissaries of Sauron, they made a sudden assault upon Gondor, and King Narmacil II was slain in battle with them beyond Anduin in 1856. The people of eastern and southern Rhovanion were enslaved; and the frontiers of Gondor were for that time withdrawn to the Anduin and the Emyn Muil. [At this time it is thought that the Ringwraiths re-entered Mordor.]"

Don't care if people think that this DLC is not too Mordor-ish.
It isn't, but it still looks hella good.
Also props for the really good voice acting. Especially for the leader of those mercenaries.
Rundurino I don't care...why? Because its better...many fans wanted to fight alongside men! Look, now it will be true
Yeah also they brought MANY new things and features. No Talion reskins or anything like that, actual new original gameplay
I've already seen some people arguing that it's not Shadow of Mordor anymore and that it's strange not having a character with magic and godlike powers.
Whining community i say.
If there wasn’t a title I wonder how many people would think this is an assassins creed origins dlc
I think nobody would be too dumb to think it's a AC:Origins DLC if they weren't trolling. There is a character from the base game who's been seen multiple times when playing as Talion through the main questline.
Also there is orcs so someone with absolutely no knowledge and low IQ would still guess it's a completely different game.
Desolation of Mordor is available this upcoming Tuesday, May 8th, 2018!
Shadow of War I can’t fucking wait I have already bought it
Next shadow game i wanna play as an uruk. Fully customosable
*gimli voice*
YES!
Shadow of War why is there a baranor expansion but not idril
Superslash my orc would be such a fat turd.
Good but we need an open world game like the witcher 3 or skyrim where you can explore all of middle earth, just saying
Lord of the Rings Online
twistedmetalplayer21 would be amazing with todays grafics and character interactions!
Graphics*
Liam Samuels I agree with you on that but Monolith has no experience in creating in-depth RPG's.
Eric Nick Let's make it in Unreal Engine 4
So this is wakanda in ancient times
More like AC Origins in Fantasy times.
srbnsn Which, after Curse of the Pharaohs, is just AC Origins.
Make talion a stallion
With the way their going, it could very well be the Ultra 1000% completion hidden ending
Gleebroyable neigh
All you had to do was hire the damn mercenaries, CJ!
still hopin we can go to lithlad with talion i need a new fort
K9vendetta The wolf of mordor we can when the dlc is out, it’s just to the east of seregost.
K9vendetta The wolf of mordor, confined in the latest stream no mercs though.
If you own the DLC, you can go to Lithlad with Talion and take the fortress.
I know a lot of people dislike the gondorians, but I love Baranor in this game. He had some alright character exploration and now we get to see it develop here in Desolation of Mordor
The Nethral King Why the would anyone dislike the gondorians?
Victor Burhoi some say they're mostly bland and one dimensional. I see where they're coming from, but I still love Baranor since he's most interesting XD
The Nethral King he isnt gondorian, he is from the lands in the south
I think this xpac will be good because he’s really similar to Talion. He works better when interacting with interesting characters, so he’ll make for a great protagonist.
Remco Assink splitting hairs really
Did they record the brothers' lines in a metal tube? Sounds terrible and echo-ey. If they wanna say it's because of the room they're in then sure, but then why doesn't Baranor echo? Also how did he not realize it was his brother sooner lmao, had to get two obvious hints and he still had to think about it.
YEET Big room what do you expect, and separation from a decently young age.
Big room but only the brothers' audio sounds kinda gargly and echo-ey, Baranor sounds stellar and crisp as usual. And I meant moreso how he alluded to remembering a young boy, and then the caragors, and Barry was like "Caragors? Hmmmmmmmmmmm..................................................OMG MY BROTHER!"
I was expecting the black character to feel forced and not really flushed out, in a LOTR story. But I actually really enjoy Baranor's character and look forward to this expansion.
Oh no. They're Easterlings. Poor Baranor has no idea for what is to come eventually.
he is from the south, he probably knows they fight and will continue to fight for sauron. these guys are mercenaries so at least he can have some room to negotiate with him
Nathaniel Claw, exactly from the south wouldn't have much information on the men of the east. Though it seems coin defeats all loyalties for these guys.
mercenaries of course. but the leader is baranor older brother, so that will make things easy
During the War of the ring, weren't there Easterlings who were resisting and fighting Sauron?
they were fighting for sauron. they were the guys that frodo and sam saw entering the black gate
So where’s Idril in all this?
Awesome Productions I think she will be soon enough in this
Baranor probably went alone to the mercenaries while Idril stayed with the surviving soldiers.
Hopefully dead and buried
Who tf cares about her
TheDarkWut Ok Mr.12 year old boy.
Please ! Please! Can you put 3 GAMES FILES insteans of one file ????
I like him already!
"This one, I like."
-Celebrimbor
I loved getting to know the Men of the East always wanted to know what they were like. Also they look so freaking cool with their armor and weaponry
I bought this game thinking it would be awesome. Now it just seems like a bunch of developers got together to create an overpriced meme. What even is his voice? 0:25
bob bobson k
His voice is part of his character. Lol
This dlc is going to be amazing
Like the last one was right?
JPG I loved the last one. Short though. . .
That's what gets me, it was way too short for the price theyre charging for their DLC. If this one is the same length I'll be spewing.
Well now that it is out, how long would you say it is?
Cobble Pot Well, it depends on how you play if you are exclusively doing story missions you will play around 2-3 hours
WE
That Guy you must love this wonderful futuristic society we live in.
There were no black guys in Gondor.
master steeler its not Gondor
Good job it's not Gondor then.
@@michiev he's not even from gondor he is haradrim but his family gave him away to a family in mordor
Looks interesting. This is a very good game, plagued by micro transactions and loot boxes.
If it had none of these from the beginning it would have been a strong candidate for game of the year.
Avi FiBe Wasn't really an issue to begin with.
Yea and it along with origins doesn't harm your experience.
So baranor has a brother
Please make the next game about Talion again. At least include Celebrimbor
Gabbe The Lord No he's dead.
He's been dead in every game
Monolith said that this would be their last game in the shadow series.
Ian Bailey. Truly sad. And it was just becoming my favorite game series
Gabbe The Lord talion is dead for good. It's gonna be eltariel and celebrimor
Serka/Jigai/Bro-anor's voice sounds SO familiar, but I can't quite place it. I love it, though, and can't wait for next Tuesday. Between Brigitte in Overwatch and Baranor in SoW:DoM, there's going to be a lot of shield-bashing in my immediate future! XD
It belongs to that crazy boss from Far Cry 3
Is this voice acting a joke?
Pronkman666 It sounds like they got some random ass guy from the programming department and forced him to read these lines into a laptop microphone
Disappointing voice acting. This game as a whole has been nothing but a disappointment.
this is fanfiction tier
not that the base games are much better
This is sick
Sick in the stomach, maybe
I demand to know more about the Torvin Werewyrm Romance >:(
This is a cinematic? Why do the graphics look like they're from last gen?
Sander Cohen Get some fresh air kid.
Because it’s shadow of war. The graphics look like they pulled the skin from the inside of somebody’s asshole and glued it onto the lens.
Sander Cohen it isnt cinematic, dunno why they wrote that
Voice acting and writing is terrible
Welcome to america and Black panther having a baby
So I killed my nemesis in the arena mission but when I return to minus morgul he doesn't ambush me. So how do I get him to cheat death? Someone pls help me, I really want to recruit him:(
Thank You!
why does baranor look like the shaved head guy on the throne, i swear they are twins
i should watch the whole video before commenting
Yes you should my friend
Tank lol
I skipped Blade of Galadriel...But this looks frickin AMAZING!!! Can't wait.
WE WUZ GONDORIANGZ!
Baranor: "I'm planning to take Shindrâm..."
Merc leader: "...Did I ever tell you the definition of insanity?"
Alas, the voice actor is apparently not Michael Mando.
that moment you realize this is avaliable on the same day as D2's Warmind.
Hmm, I'm not quite sure which I care about more. This game is fucking great, but at the same time I'm kind of bored with it and I want to give bungie one last chance.... so much content, so little time.
The Blade of Galadriel was bad in all and this one still bad but almost this dlc is funny. Baranor is a Fucking Robocop and his design remember me to the Character of Berserk. Is stupid how baranor is more strenght than Talion but looks very funny to play.
Anyway I'm excited and waiting for him. I have the season pass already.
Everything about this DLC looks great, I'm absolutely hyped for it! My only hope is that the storyline is a LOT longer than the Blade of Galadriel's: that shit was too short for my liking.
EDIT: I didn't quite hear what Baranor's brother had said at 0:14, if anyone could tell me I would be very grateful.
Hey guys little tip. If you’re going to cast an American for the role of a British sounding person. Make sure he can keep an accent for more than like, 2 seconds
Why is the animation on his mouth so stiff? 1:50 cheesy dramatic zoom only possible in videogames ....
I stopped playing months ago because of the stupid microtransactions ruin the game
Are the micro transactions out yet? Been waiting to go back to this game but what all that bullshit gone first
Fascinating
Rayclaw Icefire I am ashamed to know where your profile picture is from
Ilija Kovachevich I see your gentleman of culture as well.
Rayclaw Icefire no... just..... no. Why did you even make that as your profile pic, what thoughts led to such a mistake?
May is Lewd Anime Avatar month no mistakes my good sir.
Rayclaw Icefire lies!! Do not name the month I was born on like that!! And if that were true, you are apart of a small group that knows of its existence, and I do hope the very same group in the future will vanish
Is that Donald Glover as Serka? God that voice is so familiar.
Is it me or does the mercenary leader sound like he was recorded with a low quality mic?
I’ll be getting this, in the goty edition which will ship without mtx
Watch him get sold out by his brother. We all know Easterlings are mercs and Sauron has unlimited amounts of coin.
apoctriforce easterlings are not mercs. There are fanatics fighting for sauron cause they think he is god
Why did the beginning sounded the beginning of a porno.
I dont even know what this is about
Hey I have a problem with my game I maxed out all orc followers in gorgoroth army and my fortress was taken so my warchiefs went back to the just captains so some of my captains just disapeared does anyone know how to fix that and get my orcs back because they were the blade of Galadriel unique ones
Aidan Taylor Don't have so many fucking captains
It’s hard I got a lot of cool looking captains in my game and I thought I would just kill a few but it take for fucking ever just to kill one
What's up with that guy's voice?
Mmm so tasty!
Why cant i just play no
Tf
looks really promising i really like the story thats coming up here and the voice actor is really good hope itll be a succes
While I still really would much prefer an expansion as an Orc, Nazgul or Black Captain, this looks promising. Especially as I love Easterlings and we rarely get to see this kind of "lore" relating to Middle Earth. I'm hoping for a little less stealth and assassination in this dlc as I'm kind of over that with Talion (RIP) and Elf bitch who's name escapes me.
What an uninspired title.
This looks really good
Was this in the game?
Oh look, more orcs.
THEY NEED TO PUT THE LOTR SOUNDTRACK IN THE GAME! So...get permission!
Wait Min I thought human Mercenaries can't betray and this guy saying well they can?!?!?!?!? I'm confused
Is it me or are the animations for the mercenary leader in the very beginning super not synced to his voice.
Even after all these months you guys still manage t write a good twist. I can't wait for Jarred to play it while I wait for the complete edition of the game
So they're basically throwing the Second Sons into Middle Earth
primepm but useful.
No that's a different game series.
FORR WAKANDAAAAAAAA
far cry 6
K A N G Z
czerka?
BOI!
Finally the Easternlings get a really good spotlight I have always like their armor
And here I was hoping we'd get to play as orcs for once.
The guy reminds me of brûz hope he wont end up like him tho
BARANORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR collecting the credit and gathering the Mercenaries
Hell yeah
So wait, is he his brother? I got confused.
0:27 I'm laughed so hard xd
Is this Canon?
Regardless, it's still fun to play.
Bring MDP for the last stream b4 the launch
...I see no appeal in this. I'm sorry, but it all feels forced to me.
Haradrim?
The voice acting is freaking amazing
I really like this cutscene.
Nice to see that Baranor has a brother
Im weirded out about how he doesn't say that he was working with a dead guy who he could probably see thousands of orcs coming out of a stadium in a burst of light a few hours after he saw him later
would you believe him?
baranor: you know the Black Gate? that one place that fell even before minas ithil? so, there is a undead ranger that came from there, sometimes he looks human, sometimes he looks like an elf, he uses a ghost bow, explode fire, ice and poison with his hands, he can control the mind of orcs and calls himself "the bright lord". also he says he can talk to celebrimbor, dead before the last alliance war.
Nathaniel Claw well if i know that sauron exists I'd absolutely believe him
touche
Looks good
Where is Idril?
Can't wait for this :)
I should reinstall
Plz say there is an arena for merceneries.
I don't think Baranor would force people to kill each other, lol.
Nor do I think the Mercenaries would murder each other on somebody else's orders. These guys aren't dominated like Talion's Orcs.
oh my....
Is this the last dlc ?
This is gonna be good
Game of Zones feel.
Oooooooo
