That would probably be best. Either that or exploding barrels/campfires.

That problem orc I mentioned had exactly all of those traits right down to the poisoned throwing spears. I used exploding camp fires and grog casks and stacks to do him in. You will never kill him otherwise and he will just become a horror to battle.
I had to lure him around the targets in the first place. After he went green I cut off his head.

Who watches the watchmen?
Actually, is it possible to make use of campfires in means other than throwing your target into them? It's hard to grab Captains like that, for obvious reasons.
Anyway, yeah - I might just have to either snag his attention and run to the south, or hope somebody challenges him. Problem with that is, if things go badly for the challenger my asshole nemesis is just going to get stronger.
It's been fun.

Can't you shoot and blow them up?
You need to unlock that skill, no?

I have Detonate unlocked, I just didn't know it applied to campfires too. Nifty.

Night Clerk of the Apacalypse.
Lol. Yeah it works with campfires. That is exactly what I did. I got him just close enough and hit him with a exploding camp fire.
Who watches the watchmen?
That's great. Next time I get a chance I'll have to do that, and make sure he stays dead.
It's been fun.

In the UK it's around 12 pounds, don't know what it is in the States or elsewhere so you may want to check.
That's $19.99 American.

Been playing this for a couple of days now, and I've came to a conclusion - I hate it. It's ludicrously difficult, the combat makes me think I'm hitting the uruks with a stick of wet celery rather than several feet of steel sword and I'm beyond fed up with that fucking Sauron's army shit you have to sit and watch every time one of the green-skinned bastards kills you. I'm not interested in them getting promoted so that whole mechanic is wasted on me. My keyboard's Escape key is suffering from the amount of times I've hammered it just to make the bad thing stop.
And the whole unskippable bragging cutscene bullshit that pops up when one (or even worse, more than two) of the captains shows up to swing a fight I've been handily winning gets on my nerves so much I just swear at the screen whenever it happens.
Even something like me sneaking up on a group of uruks from behind enables me to stealth kill six of them in a row doesn't make me feel more involved in the game or more skillful, it just leaves me feeling empty. AI shouldn't be that crap in this day and age.
That all you got?
Maybe you hate the combat because you're bad. It's simple enough. Hit X until they fall, hit Y when one is trying to attack you. The bragging cutscenes are only a few seconds, and the Sauronms Army stuff I'm pretty sure can be skipped.

The bragging cutscenes take seconds of my life I won't get back. And since you obviously didn't pick it up, I'm on a computer, not a console. That's why I mentioned my keyboard's Escape key - console controllers don't have those, and the use of it to fast forward through those idiotic Sauron's Army segments.
As for the rest of your response, well...
That all you got?
You could still be playing with a controller.

I've (finally) acquired the game on sales (thanks Steam!).
So far I love it. I haven't played any of the Arkham game so the combat style is still fresh for me by itself and I'm thoroughly amused by the nemesis system so far.
My favorite moment was getting in a brawl with 15+ more Uruks with a final count of 4 captains that showed up as well. I did not make it out alive, but I thought it was hilarious for some reasons.
One of these captains has become my nemesis, Nrakt Blood-axe I think he's called. At first he was a lunatic that referred to his axe as a person, but now he's just a lunatic undead uruk. I think I killed him 4 or 5 time so far, I stopped being surprised by his appearance pretty quickly honestly. I'd rant about his apparent Lazarus pit, but then I remember Talion and Cere are practically the same way with death, so I think it's fair (even if kinda weird).
I want to like Caragor riding, but the mounted combat is kinda unwieldy IMO.
That all you got?
Yeah, kinda. Really it's mostly a "knock down, have Caragor eat them" thing. Riding a Graug is way more fun, but you won't get to do that until the next gameplay area.

I'm growing to like Ratbag a lot. I am even way past the point of caring about flimsy is role in Talion's scheme is, his shenanigans are just too hilarious.
I don't have branding yet, but I have spotted a little Uruk that will do just fine to be branded. I'll give him a good whacking or two if I get the chance, but otherwise let him live. If I see Blood-Axe again (somehow) I will also brand him for sure.
Sadly branding isn't until the next map.
Apocalypse: Dirge Of Swans.
That all you got?
You can go between areas though, once you move on to the second one.
That is the face of a man who just ate a kitten. Raw.
Yeah I made it to the second map just yesterday. On a hunch, I followed Torvin's quest line to the end, hoping it was he that held the branding but as you probably know, he doesn't.
Now on the bright side, I can now control Graugs, which is a fair exchange, although I don't get a lot of occasions to ride these as opposed to the hundreds of Uruks I see and could brand. Also, I was kinda disappointed there wasn't a special line for when you did in fact kill a Graug before. Also also, I had a bow mission that opened my eyes to the hilarity of pinning Uruks in front of murderous animals.
With all this said, I shall miss Ratbag dearly, for Torvin fails to fill his most important niche: My heart. RIP Ratbag, not even Graug-riding can replace your antics.
A nice butterfly
This game makes my inner obsessive completionist happy.
But.
Did you need so many fucking Outcast missions?
It has always been the prerogative of children and half-wits to point out that the emperor has no clothes
Gondor kicked out A LOT of people.
That all you got?
I did pretty much everything in the game ^^
But then I bought the DLC ._.

But. They are so many.
So many. pls no more. I wanna finish the main missions but I cant with that blinking light threathening me to not giveme the 100% completionist crap.
Also, C-man is a Badass.

Hey guys, I really need help here. In my infinite wisdom, I have created a monster of a Captain that's sealing off progressing on the story for me.
I'm right at the point where Ratbag becomes Warchief, and in preparation for his inevitable betrayal and having to kill his skinny ass, I decided to hunt down his bodyguards, as one does. But one of them really pulled the jackpot on attributes; when I faced him, he was a hunter with a poisoned spear and javelins, invulnerable to ranged, stealth and combat maneuvers, and with only one weakness: burning, which is useless since his invulnerability keeps me from using Fire Arrow. I finally managed to tag him with some Morgai flies, which was a real help, and finally a Caragor killed him. He was level 14 then.
So... imagine my surprise now that he's back, at level 18, with a new Monster Slayer trait and a tendency to haunt the Udun foothills, where there are no Morgai flies. At this point the only reason he isn't the most powerful Uruk in the army by a factor of three is because I sprint in the opposite direction every time I see him. Should I just wait for an Ambush or something and let enemy NP Cs whittle him down?
It's been fun.
