She totally does, but hopefully the friendship you've built with Shallow Small-minded Handmaiden #2 will be helpful.

Ahh... fuck Cersei...

That little bastard happily gets you in deep shit with Margaery. "Oh, cough cough, that thing we walked about? Decree's on my desk." She's just a little less pissed than if you walked off. It's especially irksome if Mira rebuffed his alliance and never said much—it's like he's stinging you for not helping him yank around the merchants. Whoa, game!Tyrion is closer to book!Tyrion than show!Tyrion.

Saddest choice difference is if you didn't stab the Lannister guard—Coal Boy has a gash and bruise across his cheek for the next episode.

I hardly think she's inappropriately shallow. She has a point; she is going to get nowhere in Westros as a bastard handmaiden and having Margeary arrange a marriage for her would make her life a lot less... precarious. Being selfish and looking out for yourself in a setting where its every man for themselves half the time is perfectly acceptable.

She clearly has the mindset of an NPC, though.

Margaery also has her family to look out for, along with her station. It'll make House Tyrell look weak if it's shown that anyone among her retinue is shown having contact with House Lannister, even the Master of Coin.

She seems alright, and I've decided to trust her (since she trusted me), but forgive me if I'm absolutely paranoid about damn near everyone in King's Landing.

If feel like, if Sera IS a spy, it'll be next episode when that comes out. I do kind of hope they're building up a bait and switch though.

[up]Same here. Sera seems like such a potentially treacherous little handmaiden that the reveal would be kinda dull. I haven't been mean to her though, so maybe that'' change stuff. She tried to cover for Mira when Margaery first asked about Tyrion, so I like her.

Trailer for Episode 4, which is out on Tuesday, May 26.

Looks like Rodrik is going to be taking advantage of some sibling rivalry.

So, Calling it now, Bheska used to be a slave in Slaver's Bay and that's why she hates the place so much.

Also, I think we all know its either Mira or Coal Boy who is the Whitehill Spy.

Elana brings her father's men to House Forrester. Will this be going against the plan with Lady Whitehill??? I'd hate for them to be pitted against each other.

You mean Sera.

I also think it's Otengryn. Sera would know nothing about whatever your family is doing because Mira doesn't say anything to her about them. Also Coal Boy is the same. I would say one of them is working for that fatass merchant that you could piss off in Episode 2.

I meant the Kings Landing Spy. It seems a bit obvious to be the Whitehill guys you can piss off in Episode 2, no? At the same time, Sera and Coal Boy are obvious too...

I think the House Forrester spy is Ortengryn too.

Hopefully it's not, Ontegryn better not sully the good name of the Maesters of the Citadel

Also I love this series but I still want my Wolf Among Us Season 2

And good God the rail roading is strong in these games

I would say it's less railroading and more "story alterations". Like how people react to you and stuff.

Episode 4 soon? AWESOME!grin

Although, I notice this series is progressing suspiciously faster than Tales From The Borderlands...

Probably because it's their most popular IP out right now.

Besides, most stopped caring about Tales from The Borderlands after the first episode. Those I know at least...

I'm actually enjoying Tales from the Borderlands more than this one.

Which is odd, since I don't particularly like the Borderlands games.

Probably because unlike other things Telltale decides to make games out of it doesn't rub shit in your face every five seconds with how dark and edgy everything is.

Really? I've never felt like Telltale tries to be "edgy."

Even Walking Dead has many, many moments of levity. It's depressing, sure, but that's not all it is.

I agree with both of you.

The reason I enjoy Tales from the Borderlands a bit more is because Go T sometimes follows the source material too much in terms of character personality - which is a common criticism. I hope it actually subverts some of the similarities (Gared, for example, could actually get kicked out of the Watch permanently rather than almost like Snow).

However, in terms of how dark and depressing it is, Telltale seems less "edgy" than the Game of Thrones tv series itself. There is little focus on rape here, for instance, which gets disgustingly gratuitous in the tv series. And because this thread is not about the TV Series, that's all I'll say on that.
