A modder has used AI to put Middle-earth: Shadow of War’s Nemesis System inside Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption 2.
The enRage mod, created by nicklovin99, tracks how individual enemies feel about you. This works largely the same way as Shadow of War's much-loved Nemesis System, creating rivalries on the fly and disrupting the ranks of rival gangs. And, like the Nemesis System, enRage names every single NPC in the game. Some like you, some fear you, and some want you dead.
It groups people by gangs, groups, and affiliations, so you’ve got the O’Driscoll Boys, Lemoyne Raiders, the U.S. Army, The Klan, the Wapiti people, the Bronte Family, the Murfee Brood, the Skinner Brothers, Van der Linde, and unaffiliated randoms. These are all tracked in a new menu.
When you kill an affiliated NPC, their status within the gang gets passed along to a new member in the organization. The Hierarchy menu page tracks every NPC in the game, and tells you how they feel about you.
Then there’s the X-ray page, which allows you to see NPC skeletons and what injuries they carry, with limping and paralysis showing up as possible health conditions on the mod trailer. You can injure an enemy and hold them at gunpoint to use a new interaction menu, forcing them to tell you about another member of their gang.
Like RimWorld, it also tracks interactions NPCs have with each other on another World page. It creates an illusion of the world moving on without you, with people adopting stray dogs, recovering from alcoholism, and starting new feuds with each other.
