What happens in the beginning if I don't kill the dude who murdered my family? After I did that, I thought I hosed up hard, but reading this thread, it seems as if it probably didn't matter and that Ramsay would come and stab me anyway.

You always end up killing one of the dudes during the QTE, so the choice doesn't affect anything in the grand scheme of things. One dead soldier or two, either way, Whitehill and Ramsay are pissed.

What if I like the books, like the show, and kind of enjoyed Telltale's Back to the Future episodes? Is this game worth the $15?

It isn't Telltale's best but it hasn't yet reached the lows hit by TWD Season 2, so if you'rea GoT fan I'd say that you'll get $15 of enjoyment out of it.

you know, I've kind of been enjoying this series. Definitely not Telltale's best, but still a good story in the GoT universe. The intro of episode five is seriously making me reconsider this.

Why the gently caress is Ramsay here? Why the gently caress can't Rodrik, a man who you can establish many times to put pride above all else, stab the man who killed his brother? I don't care if you give me an immediate game over, just give me the option! What purpose does it serve to watch Rodrik get kicked in the shins while Ramsay taunts him and cuts a man open? Do we really need more of an affirmation that Ramsay is a one-dimensional evil son of a bitch we'll never get to touch?

Literally everything about this game only serves to make Tales from the Borderlands look better, not that it needed the help. (TftB spoilers) When Vallory curbstomps your party, it's alright, because Vallory at least has style. It's alright that she sends two canon characters to take you down, because even though you're hopelessly outmatched, you still get a few good blows in and they don't overstay their welcome. It's the sort of the thing that'll make it even more satisfying if/when you finally take her down.

tl;dr: gently caress this game

Played through the rest of the episode. It didn't sink to the lows of the opening again, but at this point I'm just here for Asher and Beskha.

The ending would have been a lot more impact if it hadn't been so rushed, and Rodrik dying is the only choice that made narrative sense, at least to me. Asher didn't go through all that poo poo in Essos just to die pointlessly five minutes after he landed in Westeros.

I have to say that I find it bleakly hilarious that house Forrester is On its fourth lord of the series. :v:

Playable Beshka might be the only thing that could bring me back to season two.
