Tuor Turambar,Cursed by the Valar · 12-23-2003, 08:02 PM

I do not think they can really be 'automatons', because they do seem to have some free will, weak as it is. If they were automatons, they would not really be able to retreat unless it was to Morgoth/Sauron's advantage, and I think that on several occasions they do.
Also, how could the orcs at the tower of Cirith Ungol be complaining about Sauron, if they had no free will?
