I cannot see how they can reasonably copyright the idea of having characters remember you which is basically all the nemesis system is. There are many ways to implement it that wouldn't violate patent, of course it's in WBs interest to not nose that one around too much

You can try, but WB will troll you in court for years and drown you out on legal fees to prove it isn't a violation of a patent. So, most consider it not worth it.
