Still, I remember replaying it again last year just for kicks and was at the beginning of the game, without acquiring any new skill and I was still able to fight 100+ enemies, including many chiefs and captains for over 1 hour without dying once. And I was just fooling around to see how long I could survive like that, but after almost 2 hours without dying and new enemies never stopping showing up, I just got bored and quit.
Once you get half of all skills available, you're basically unstoppable. And the boss fights were very easy. I would hope the game is much harder, but after watching this video, the game became much more easier with all these new and very powerful abilities - like being able to teleport an archer to your location for a finisher, have Celebrimbor do additional finishers while you do yours, and so on.
I really, really hope they have a very high difficulty setting, because otherwise I fear after a while you will go through the game without any challenge whatsoever, and that almost always leads to boredom.
