Along with fan-favorites Dûsh and Kâka, we now have [[FunWithAcronyms Fûbar, Snâfu]], Bork, and more. And yes, the names are still voiced like always.

** Similarily, a grunt that kills you may mention that after he ran away from a battle just ''once'', everyone calls him "The Coward", and he hopes that they'll stop now since he killed the Gravewalker. When the game reveals the orc's new title in the army screen, it's... The Coward.

* "The Fall" shows us that the Nazgûl can be surprisingly emotive for beings without visible faces. The three Nazgûl present when Talion finally falls over after Eltariel "killed" him seem to just go "Well shrakh, there he goes", and you can practically see Sûladan roll his non-existant eyes when she easily dodges Eltariel's attack later.

* If you activate the Eltariel skin in the main game, Talion's character model and movement/idle animations are changed to Eltariel's... but Celebrimbor keeps his model. His wraith looks like he is stuck in a full elevator as the game tries to match it's skeleton with Eltariel's, his animations are switched to Eltariel's more feminine ones, and his shoulder pads become sentient and sometimes readjust themselves. This is likely a glitch, since [[spoiler:if you already have Dark Talion his wraith is replaced by a green version of Eltariel's own.]]

* Krimp the Enchanted is absolutely {{Adorkable}} in his admiration of Eltariel. When she kills someone, he says, "Ooh, I ''love'' the way you kill, my sweet!" and when she picks up Life gems, he says that nothing is too good for her. What makes it heartwarming is that he's not like [[StalkerWithACrush The Obsessed]]: he genuinely respects her, and asks for nothing in return, even if she doesn't return the favor.
