The nemesis system wasn’t unique when it came out, plenty of games have similar mechanics, obviously there is a distinct mechanic about Shadows of Mordor that other can’t copy with the patent, but it hasn’t affected nemesis systems in other games.

What’s another game with a nemesis system?
Off the top of my head, Assassin’s creed, diablo and Far Cry 5 are recent ones.
