I disliked how the game didn't risk more on some aspects and would just copy what happened in the Lord of the Rings. For instance, when Celebrimbor tells Talion that he feels Sméagol will play a role in the future, or when Queen Marwen is possessed by Saruman, or when Talion says "break the staff", it is reference after reference making the game feel unoriginal.
Another disappointing ideas are the side missions (weapon legend and outcast rescue), collectables (artefacts and ithildin) and the hunt and plant missions. The only point on doing them is to get Mirian (money) so you can upgrade stats, it would have been way much better to have skills unlock by completing those missions.
Interesting ideas are the nemesis system and how some enemies are able to pinpoint exactly how you killed them, or how the battle was interrupted last time they found you.
Talion is a good character, but the story feels a bit flat at times, could have been a much better game if it tried a bit more.
