AdjectiveNoun posted:Honestly, I get the opposite impression. She's wheeling and dealing with the people that control the whole country, just by association - making deals with Tyrion matters so much more than any action you take at Ironrath. Yeah but it feels like nothing she has done so far has changed her family's situation, I guess. Sure she is hanging with Tyrion but just because maybe he finds her amusing and can use her to his own ends.

Okay this game has officially gotten great and I have to say this has to be the most actually reactive game of theirs yet. I was flying by the seat of my pants really hard over hard I actually managed to almost completely gently caress up in Mira's section and it was actually thrilling but I saved my rear end because I knew it was smart to have one of the castle spies on my side. TWD Season 2 and TWAU must really have been a rough patch because this game is some real good poo poo.

I still feel like I'm making all the wrong decisions. Especially that very last one in the episode.

I kicked the guy off the wall and stood up repeatedly after punching every Whitehall possible in the face. It's great.

A whole lot of fun, I'm left trying to figure out what possible outcomes/solutions will be available and whether it's better to commit to one early or try and keep your options open. Allying with the Glenmores seems more like the "fight the Whitehills" solution, but I think if you bide your time and work with Gwyn you might be able to end things peacefully. Maybe Roderick can marry her to unite the Houses, or Asher could when he returns. The whole "plan" started to click when it was laid out that Mira needed to find a buyer so the Forresters can get some money and Asher needs to bring an army they can pay with that money. After that, I can't imagine why anyone would burn the decree - there's no future in staying Margaery's handmaid, might as well try and make things interesting. It's looking like Gared and Cotter'll be out of the Night's Watch next episode regardless, since he's a Wildling and you'll be wanted for murdering a brother no matter what you do. I guess that might resolve the "Find the North Grove/Stick to your vows" problem, a bit easier than I expected. As for the traitor, I'm pretty sure it has to be the Maester - it's not about to be your mother and I think they're trying to play up how Duncan and Royland will feel cheated if they're not made Sentinel, but if Royland's Sentinel then Duncan'll still be trying to get Gared to find the North Grove, not something he'd try to do if he was selling the House out.

Because I was expecting someone to step in while I was getting the poo poo kicked out of me and my Sentinel charged his troops. It's cool guys I'll just sit here and get kicked in the ribs

Yeah that's what I was thinking. If Duncan was the traitor he'd be trying to get the North Grove for the Whitehalls, and that's the one thing they don't know about. Plus the Maester is the only one who is still in the same position regardless of the choices you've made. It's gotta be him.

And besides, remember that Lord Forrester said to only tell Duncan about the grove and nobody else; then when Gared is getting fixed up by the Maester you have the option to tell him about the grove. Seems to me that he's the most obvious choice. Watch though. It will be the mother just to gently caress with us.

Also it can't be Royland either because if he was really a traitor he could have easily murdered Rodrick on the corpse cart and no one would ever know. It's totally the maester.

Why would you ever burn the decree? I don't understand how that'd help at all.

Also I didn't burn it because I don't know the first thing about this dude trying to sell me on an ironwood price fixing scheme and I'm not sure why I should destroy the one thing we've actually gotten over on his family. For all I know he'd just say, cool, you burned it, now we're taking your poo poo.

Welp, that was loving infuriating. I played the submissive role with Rodrick every time there was the option to lose his poo poo or defy the Whitehills, just to get Gryff off his guard. I really hope I will be turning Gryff into food for his daddy a la Titus Andronicus. Sorry, Gwen, I appreciate the help, but i'm honorbound to kill your family in the messiest way possible. It was immensely satisfying though after getting the poo poo consistently kicked out of me to lay a proper smackdown on Britt. "Don't piss yourself on the way down" ![]() Also, I'm having second thoughts about Ortengryn being a double agent; he's outwardly shifty enough to make a good red herring. Mama Forrester's reaction to a potential ally within the Whitehills, on the other hand, was a little suspicious to me...

I suppose it could make sense, since she's one of the people you can tell about the North Grove, and you can also choose to keep quiet about getting help from Gwyn and that there's allegedly a traitor on the council - all information she could use against you, if she was inclined. No idea why she'd be the traitor, though, unless they'd been threatening to kill Ryon unless she leaks stuff to them without telling you.

She's a well-meaning mother and wife who's tired of losing family who just wants to bring everyone back together, even if it fucks up all of her son's plans. Plus, her quarrel isn't really with the Whitehills anyway, Ramsay and Roose are the real targets in her eyes..

Yeah, I'll be surprised if the mother isn't the traitor. I thought it was her just because she's the one who went for Ashur right at the beginning without telling Ethan. I figure she's less of a traitor than someone who's just trying to do what she thinks is the right thing to do though. I figure episode 4 will be the last "Let's keep kicking you while you're down" episode though, since they're making most of the Whitehills massive dicks they'll start getting killed off then. bobjr fucked around with this message at 02:38 on Mar 25, 2015 |

Did anyone else get a lot of Theon impression from Gryff? Prancing around another House like he owns the place and does everything he can to shame the family? I hope this ends with one of his relatives coming to visit to give him a talking to and his soldiers kicking him out.

Was it just me or was that episode way way longer than standard Telltale fare? Not complaining, I'm just surprised how long it was. Very very good episode though. I hope we're now going to get Tales from the Borderlands and Game of Thrones alternating months. It was nice having them on week after the other, but I prefer alternating months. No more long waits Telltale! ![]() TWAU's delay was likely due to the killer being figured out after the first episode and a mad scramble to rewrite.

Actually I heard authorial meddling had a significant impact on TWAU's delay, supposedly the mundane police were going to play a larger role in the story at first and Willingham didn't like that direction.

There's been no official word on why but Willingham nixing the police plot-line is the more plausible scenario taking the content that got cut and was left in the game into account.
