I'm the same way. For me it is continuity. I want to see the parts of a story together, not six months later when the majority is no longer fresh in my mind.
That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange aeons bring us some web forums whereupon we can gather

Wow. So funny. I just finished it today as well! And I am also facing the DLC issue. If the DLC was more story based gameplay, I would consider it, but is it just kill more stuff with another character. So I'm done. I haven't uninstalled yet though. It's on my big drive, so I have space to let it sit for awhile.Blackhawk wrote: ↑Sat Oct 06, 2018 12:24 pm I just finished this a few minutes ago. I think I'm getting too old for reflex-based boss fights! I had a lot of fun with it, although it dragged at the end and I was ready for it to be over.
Now comes the question: I have both DLC. I was getting burned out on the base game by the end. Do I play the DLC?
That's also funny! As it would happen, the remastered Arkham and Assassin's Creed: Black Flag were the two I was considering. I loaded up my old Black Flag save to see if it would appeal, and I immediately realized that I'd just traded orcs for pirates. All three games are pretty much the same.
I just started and this was by far the craziest string of emotions I've felt in a game. Fear is building, then the actual horror of seeing giant Shelob creeping out, then...not so much. I am far from a Tolkien scholar so I read up on how this could have happened (as I didn't recall it in the movies or the books). Apparently it was a creative decision with the possibility of making some sense and I guess purists lost their minds over (as expected).
Actually, Sam was responsible for the ring going in.de Plater's approach to Shelob comes from an interpretation that she and Gollum are, in fact, the unsung heroes of The Lord of the Rings. Put simply, it's his take that Frodo fails to cast the ring into the fires of Mount Doom at the crucial moment - instead Gollum succeeds where he cannot (albeit tumbling into the fire himself along the way)
I guess I haven't gotten to that point.
