Telltale's Game of Thrones

I definitely agree with that. I've never seen the show, but I've read four of the books, and Telltale's take on the setting feels a lot less "Yeah, everyone's an asshole and you really shouldn't care about any of these characters or what happens to them"

Indeed. Really it's less "Everyone's an asshole" and more "Everyone's out to get you" in Go T.

And considering that Gared is gonna be on the run for being responsible for the death of a sworn brother of the Night's Watch I doubt he'll ever be back to wearing the black again.

To be fair, A LOT of Game of Thrones characters are Foils, expeies, and etc of each other. Its kind of a growing trend. Compare Marg, Cersei, and Dany all together.

Maybe. I just hope they don't copy everything and change the names. But I have faith in Telltale.

He might get the option to join back up later on, but as it stands now, probably not.

Anyway, can't wait.

Well. Just saw the ending of the new episode on Youtube...

Fuck. Just fuck. We are so goddamned fucked.

Was it a walkthrough? Got a link? I'm curious.

This is the user that I found the videos on. Commentary free.

That ending scene though... Just when things actually looked like they'd be improving for the Foresters... BAM!!! Guess who's back?

Okay, am I a very disturbed fuck, or is non-canon scene at the Highpoint pure Black Comedy?

If I'm honest, I feel indifferent to this plot twist. Though, mostly because Ramsay just won't go anywhere so why bother? There's really not much you can do with him in this setting, really. Not much you can do with a living antagonist character because he has plot armor so I find myself... not caring?

I'm curious as to how this episode will go when I play. Unlike those videos, I took Gwyn's help and I seccured Rodrick's marriage. I did laugh at the 'She won't forget that' line. I doubt it'll change too much; Ludd will probably threaten the Glenmores to call of the wedding at all. I don't know how taking Gwyn's alliance will change things.

The 'I trusted him...' line is probably about the traitor so i think Lady Forrester is out of the running. I still thing its Ortengryn. Arguing with Gryff about something unknown? The beating will divert suspicion from him and garner sympathy for him for now. Also, this way, no matter what, someonre is at Ironwrath to let Ramsay in.

[[spoiler: I like how the choices are creating bigger divergences and i like how Mira is having character development and that changes gameplay.

I want Mira to become a Canon Foreigner. Ruining Andros's schemes was so fucking satisfying.

My choices:

• I let Finn come with me.
• I let the wildling who stole my supplies escape. Instantly regretted it though.
• I accepted the Glenmores' help.
• I did not torture Gryff.
• I accepted Ludd's deal to save Ryon's life.
• I did not sell out Sera.
• I had Asher kill Beshka's master himself.

Is it out on Steam right now?

• Let Finn come
• Smacked Gryff a few times but didn't hit him with my cane. Well I did, once, but stopped after he said enough.
• I didn't betray Sera.
• I let Beshka kill her master.
• I accepted Whitehill's deal.

What happens if Asher kills the Master? And, what happens if you let the Wildling live?

Can Cotter escape the Wilding encounter without an injury?

If you let the food thief live, Finn gets pissed because the food is gone.

If you kill the master yourself, Beshka and Croft both get pissed at you, although both seem to have forgiven Asher by the end of the mission.

Can someone answer my question? Is it out on Steam right now?

I believe so, yes.

Ah, alright. It's not on the Xbox store, which I find annoying.

It should come out tomorrow on Xbox.

Good.

Anything different happen if you don't bring Finn?

Okay. I've now played it for myself. Probably my favourite episode yet. Every story-line was at their best and that ending still chilled me to the bone.

• I very reluctantly let Finn come with me. I didn't want to bring him along into desertion, but he felt that he was in danger if I escape and, in the moment, I decided to let the guy come.
• I beat Gryff up just a little bit. It took three hits until he stopped mouthing off. I was hoping I could make him grovel, but hey. I'll accept getting to spit on him.
• I let the wildling who stole my supplies escape. I mean, Cotter was outright begging me not to do it.
• I lied to Tarwick about Sera's family. Because, I would've had to be a massive tool to sell her out after all the help she'd been this episode. And, if he should learn the truth and get pissed, I've got leverage if I threaten to tell Andros exactly who gave me the info that ruined his deal.
• I stopped Beshka from killing her master and I hated having to do it. She seems pissed off enough with me as it is over the whole Dragon-incident. If Daenerys hadn't explicitly ordered us not to kill any of masters, I would've gladly let her murder the guy. Unfortunately, it looks like Dany is in her one of her self-righteous hypocritical moods, so I didn't want to risk having her stiff me on my army.
• I called Ludd's Bluff. I was not going to accept his whole "Submit or be Massacred" dead, I'd already seen the result of Attacking him on Youtube, and I certainly was not going to beg him.

Well, I nearly pissed myself when I heard the voice of Iwan Rheon. Especially since the latest episodes of the show are creating a Pavlovian response of loathing to his voice.

Also, is it just me, or does Ramsay look the least like his actor out of the rest of the show cast? Not entirely sure what it is. Think it might be either the eyes or the teeth.

I think its that Ramsay's hair (head and facial) are a lot more pronounced. Also, Ramsay's actor has vastly different ways of expression than the in-game character, probably because it'd take a lot of extra time to animate Ramsay's model so differently.
