Accordion Man posted:I do also have to say that so far at least none of the deaths feel cheap like in Walking Dead Season 2. In that one it just felt like that they had no idea what to do with the characters so they just offed them in contrived situations. To be fair it is based on the TV series The Walking Dead where when they have no idea what to do with the characters they just off them in contrived situations.

I don't really see the potential for confusing people who aren't familiar with the source material as a big deal. I mean, with how big the show is, just about anyone who hasn't seen it yet has decided they aren't interested or don't like it, and I don't imagine many of them would be rushing to play the game.

On the other hand it's Game of Thrones, Whitehill will probably be rolling around in piles of gold and ironwood while you play the last surviving Forrester scrubbing the poo poo out of his toilet bowls.

Stargate posted:The key to this 'my choices affect nothing' business is to only play it once. The thing is most people play their first telltale game under the assumption that, as promised, your choices do actually matter. Then they do another play through because they want to see what happens when they make different choices and only then does the penny drop.

I really enjoyed that although I did have to raise an eyebrow a little at some things. I would have liked the option to not go to the midnight garden rendezvous. I mean come on. "Oh hey someone broke into my room, stole my letters and trashed my poo poo. They left me a note asking to meet them alone in a garden in the middle of the night to talk about Tyrion. That guard listening in on the meeting was creepy as gently caress but I'm sure it can't be related. I feel perfectly safe going along with this, what could possibly go wrong?" Although Asher's fight scenes were fun it felt a little cheesy how the two of you are able to take on so many guys at once and come out without a scratch. Same in ep1 when a farmboy squire beats two grown and presumably experienced soldiers. In other games it would be easier to suspend disbelief but this is Game of Thrones, a setting that tries to portray the harsh realities and brutality of medieval life and the noble, honourable heroes get themselves killed by their more ruthless rivals, the peasants get endlessly poo poo on by the soldiers and nobles, and the strong crush the weak. The TV show has been guilty of it too but I don't recall anything like that in the books. It just feels really out of place. Wafflecopper fucked around with this message at 03:58 on Feb 5, 2015 |

Calico Noose posted:Book spoilers about They were Whitehall men right? I don't recall if ep1 gave us details as to what their troops were doing during the war, but as they're so friendly with the Boltons one might assume they were part of Roose Bolton's command and had seen fighting. Post Red-Wedding I could see the troops of pro-Bolton houses being allowed to go terrorize their local Stark loyalist rivals. The fact that those guys weren't youths or old men could be argued to point to them having seen action. But yeah I'll concede that they could just as easily be local scum. It's still two grown men against a pudgy kid but I guess it's kinda plausible. I'm thinking way too hard about all this now.

I'm putting my money on disappointing, mostly because I'm expecting it to be a setup and cliffhanger for season 2 with little if any satisfying resolution. Also because most of the episodes have been pretty bad.

So I had Mira marry that dude and let the coal boy get killed instead. Sounds like if I'd picked the other option, she'd have just been killed. So if you pick that option you spend all five or 6 or whatever episodes with her, achieve absolutely nothing to help your family whatsoever, and then die pointlessly in the last episode? lol

Spiky Ooze posted:Well you can let her die a Ned Stark-esque death where you can spit in the dude's face in the end and then say "Iron from ice!" as they kill you. It was kinda cool. I knew in the jail cell it was over. That shithole King's Landing had claimed another victim. The only escape option was not an escape, it was just helping the evil guy. So I let her go out like a bad rear end who had done it all to defend the Forresters. Also she helped the coal boy and Sara in my game. None of that helps the Forresters at all though. At least with the marriage option she might be able to kill or manipulate her husband somehow, and also his plan relies on all the Forrester males being killed off which they haven't yet.

Android Blues posted:Actually, she did prevent Lord Andros from obtaining mercenaries for the Whitehills. And what difference did that make? The Whitehills still have way too many troops for you to fight in the final episode.

Sakurazuka posted:What happens if you accepted that guy who turned into a cackling crazy man's proposal, does Mira not die? If so I don't see her lasting long into season 2 anyway. Nope she lives but is effectively his prisoner/baby factory. Coal boy bites it instead.
