I would imagine playing without spending ability points (and maybe the cash upgrades) would be pretty hard. I hardly use anything that isn't from the skill tree anymore.

You can remove a bunch of options (at least on PS4) like prompts to dodge attacks and shit too.
The warband mission is available right now, but it's just 1 additional fight on the first map against a somewhat tough orc. I didn't get the pass until I was almost done with the game so I wrecked his shit in about 5 seconds. I can imagine it'd be a tough fight early in the game, though.
All of the trials are available right now, too. Just like the test of power but with certain tweaks to make them more interesting.
The Bright Lord mission and the Hunt mission aren't available yet. I've never purchased a season pass before but I love this game so much I went ahead and did it. I think it'll probably be worth it when it's all said and done.

really good game but i think i'm gonna trade it in while the trade in value is $40 ($44 for me), esp since I only paid $38 for it. No real multiplayer and unreleased DLCs means in a year it'll have GOTY versions that are $10 and thats a good time to dive in. Plus I really am having a hard time with the controls, I haven't played the batman games on consoles (played first 2 on PC) so I'm really used to having bumpers be run and attack - with GTA5, AC5, DA3, and Far Cry 4 using the more "normal" control scheme I don't wanna switch stuff up right now.
Still easily the biggest surprise game for me this year, I think everyone was expecting it to be kinda meh and its really, really well done. Hope it sells well. I want to rewatch LOTR and maybe Hobbit before I play again, no real reason but its pretty cool exploring Mordor and shit and it would be more interesting after watching the movies.

I think I'm almost done the first map, I have 3/4 warchiefs down. Last night was awesome, I was able to take out two captains who were level 20, basically had them kicking my ass from the beginning of the game, and took down their respective warchiefs. Vault Stun and the cone AE Stun upgrade are bad ass. Can't wait for Brand.

I spent 90% of the time gathering intel on captains on branding my favorites, then having them fight other Uruks. Finally decided to do a story mission again and beat the game without knowing it was the final mission.
Also, I died about 5 times to the same Uruk (on purpose) because I lol'd every time I met him. He doesn't talk, just laughs and snaps his teeth. If you get the chance to avenge me and run into this guy, go for it. It's hilarious.
I like that the final confrontation wasn't some ridiculously hard, drawn-out battle. I was hoping that the final fight would be a massive army against all my branded captains, though. I like that they showed up for the battle against the 5 talons.

Are you able to unlock the 2500 Mirian upgrades without completing the lines above them? Like do you have to buy all the rune slots first to get Storm of Urfael?
Just platinumed it. Great game. Discounting the remastered version of TLOU, this is probably the best game I've played this year. God willing Dragon Age outdoes it, otherwise it'll probably be my game of the year. Might even end up going for the season pass once we get some more information as to how meaty the other story DLC packs actually are.
The final confrontation is extremely anticlimactic. All you do is hit a couple of buttons in a quicktime event.
Absolutely loving this game.
I spend alot of time just tracking orcs down and turning everyone I can in the camp just to set back and force them to kill the one orc.
Then use the special to instant kill the entire fort.

Yes you can unlock them at once. They are independent. I only unlocked 1 rune slot for each weapon and one health before I saved up and bought the three 2500 cost upgrades. They are on separate timers as well (charge them up by doing finishers, stealth kills and bow kills) which surprised me considering how ridiculously powerful they make you.
