While Talion is restrained, a strange armored man comes and kills both his son and his wife. Talion is then knocked unconcious and left for dead on an old abandoned bridge in the middle of the orc encampment. Soon after he’s woken up, a lost soul or Wraith takes over Talion’s body and assists him in finding the man who killed his family. With this new unexpected ally on his side, Talion is able to switch in and out of the spirit world, where he can see anyone in a limited area and use the new powers to his advantage. He can place his hand on enemies faces and perform the Brand, where he can order the enemy to carry out certain tasks. he can make them assassinate one of their allies, spy on them, terrorize them so they learn to fear him or just act as an ally so whenever Talion is in a bind, he can call on them to come to his aid. Other than the main quest of finding his family’s killer, Talion can also do jobs for different people since the game is an RPG. There are customization options and many other things that make this game unique from other RPGs, such as Skyrim.
