And the term "Ranger" was both used as a slang term by the Folk of Bree against the Dunedain of the North, and for describing Denethor's forayers in Ithilien (who were all hardy woodsmen descended from the folk of Ithilien in earlier times).

I cant beleive that you guys are saying the Heir to the King of Gondor is bested by a captain of Gondor. Aragorn is decended by Kings hes supposed to be the best the strongest Warrior of all men.
Aragorn had a bow, but he would have used a sword more,HE WAS ALSO TRAINED BY THE ELVES AND DUNEDAIN THE GREATEST SWORD MASTERS IN MIDDLE-EARTH
Just because he was an heir to the throne of Gondor, doesn't mean that he's invincible. I know that you didn't say that but it seems like you implied it (correct me if I'm wrong). And just because he was trained by Elves and the Dunedain doesn't mean that he's the best swordsman in Middle-Earth. There are other factors to battling and fighting than where you trained. With the whole "Faramir should have more health" thing, I disagree. Boromir was slaughtered by many arrows, whereas Faramir was only hit with 2 or 3.
And with that, I'm leaving this stupid discussion (that I took part in as well, shamefully). It seems more like we prefer to argue about lore than anything else where we should be talking about the game. Aragorn is already a better swordsman than Boromir and Faramir in the game. Correct me if I'm wrong but Faramir is already worse than Boromir (except range) stat-wise. Power-wise, I would rather have Faramir because all Boromir can do is provide a pretty bad leadership, blow his horn, and give other soldiers more experience. At the moment, I don't think that Boromir is really worth his cost, to be honest. I think that, as of the latest public release, Boromir is just a really powerful soldier unit that may have a power set that doesn't do his character complete justice.
So my suggestion is that the team should consider looking over and edit Boromir when they have their focus on Gondor. Which may not happen until the public release after the next one....

just becouse my father was an elite soldier, best of best, it doesnt neceserry mean i must be too . . . . not at all
if i wanted i could become a fisherman, and nothihng would change the fact that he was elite soldier.
(this is pure fiction, my father aint soldier, and i dont want to become a fisherman )
soo basically boromir could be better than aragorn, and yet he didnt have to be. The only reall thing that matters that both of these dudes were great wariors who sliced more orcs than you could count on all your fingers.
i dont really think that this topic ( Gondor ) is good for discussion of the " if " and " maybe " tipe.

This arguement is pointless... anyways, something everyone can agree with, Boromir needs more powers (like a last stand power where he stays alive after he's died, passive at level 7).
I would almost give him a Sheild Bash or a Knife Throw (as seen in the movies...) power too.. But that could over-power him.

Despair is only for those who see the end beyond all doubt. We do not. It is wisdom to recognize necessity, when all other courses have been weighed, though as folly it may appear to those who cling to false hope. Well, let folly be our cloak, a veil before the eyes of the Enemy! For he is very wise, and weighs all things to a nicety in the scales of his malice. But the only measure that he knows is desire, desire for power; and so he judges all hearts. Into his heart the thought will not enter that any will refuse it, that having the Ring we may seek to destroy it. If we seek this, we shall put him out of reckoning.

Also..I agree that Boromir should have more powers. He's the type of hero that should be good throughout the game - have several useful early-game abilities, a very powerful mid-game, and a very leadership-based late-game.
The "knife throw" was Boromir, not Aragorn. In fact, the only time Aragorn's "Elvish hunting knife" (movie-only, by the way) is thrown is back at him by Lurtz.
