I got killed by some random orc.
He got promoted to a captain and then kills me again.
I get annoyed so I hunt him down and end his life.
Some time pass and he comes back to life as a legendary orc and I get my ass handed to me
I hunt him down again and fried his brain so he would be on my side.
I give him some upgrades so he is unstoppable.
I send him to go kill his blood brother and I come to help
He doesn't want to kill his blood brother so he betrays me and kills me.
He is still alive and kicking to this day.

The nemesis system is one of the greatest things ever and the fact that its patented is a crime

Some orc captain named Ugol kicked my ass so hard i could taste my own cheeks. He levels up and hides in his lil orc camp like a bitch. I get some intel on him and find out hes allergic to poison. Now i'm a bit butthurt about my butt hurting so i sneak into his camp and poison the local watering hole. Five orcs in the area (including Ugol) drink it up and die horribly. i do a little jig on his corpse and go on with my day. Just as i'm about to execute a random orc captain, lo and behold Ugol arrives looking like a chewed up piece of bubblegum to ambush me. He laughs about cheating death and says many things that hurt my feelings. He also has poison attacks now but he is still allergic to poison... Luckily my bow has a chance to apply poison, so i gun that bastard down until he looked like Nickelodeon slime on the floor. I thought that was the end of his heroic tale until he shows up YET AGAIN to ambush me as i'm attacking another orc captain. At this point i lost my shit, this fetus monster cheats death TWICE and is still allergic to poison. How many times do i gotta teach you this lesson old man? I poison his frail body for the third time and watch him spaz out on the floor. I wish i didn't though, because he never came back after that. I'm sorry Ugol, i wish we could of had a proper fight instead of cheesing you three times in a row. I miss you buddy.

My first death was against a singing orc who beat me up with his guitar.
This game is amazing.
