"The core promise of the Nemesis System is the ability to build relationships with your personal allies and enemies in a dynamic open world," reads the post. "While purchasing Orcs in the Market is more immediate and provides additional player options, we have come to realize that providing this choice risked undermining the heart of our game, the Nemesis System.
