History VideoGame / GameOfThrones

The game was developed by Creator/CyanideStudio, and released on [[UsefulNotes/IBMPersonalComputer PC]], UsefulNotes/Playstation3 and UsefulNotes/Xbox360. Note: If you're looking for the Creator/TelltaleGames game of the same name, [[VideoGame/GameOfThronesTelltale go here]].

* GutturalGrowler: When Mors says he would like to tear out your entrails and eat them in front of you, you believe him.

* TheRedBaron: Together the player characters are nicknamed "The Double-Edged Sword". Mors is also nicknamed "The Butcher".

Throughout the story, the player takes control of two disgraced knights. One, a Sworn Brother of the Night's Watch named Mors Westford, otherwise known as the Butcher. The other, Alester Sarwyck, a Red Priest returning home to reclaim his inheritance. Both are immediately introduced as [[WellIntentionedExtremist Well-Intentioned Extremists]], with the player often having a say as to how either character reacts to brutal life in the Seven Kingdoms. Their stories are kept separate for much of the game, with Mors in the North and Alester in the South. Both characters will face many forms of corruption and betrayal, and over the course of the game, the player will be confronted with the same harsh realities and shocking twists the series is known for. And of course, [[KillEmAll everyone dies]].

* HookerWithAHeartOfGold: Sybelle and Falena are both thoroughly decent people who just so happen to be sex workers. Sybelle protects Jeyne, as best she can, in Mole's Town for no payment while Falena works to try to protect Gewain due to being his lover (beyond a paid companion).

* DealWithTheDevil: Ser Alester makes a deal with Cersei Lannister, suggested by Varys, to become her personal agent in exchange for forwarding his claim to River Springs. Cersei offers to make him heir (which he legally is anyway) if he outperforms against Ser Valarr, his half-brother that she's already promised River Springs. Almost immediately, Ser Alester is used in missions against Jon Arryn and his men.

* WhatShot: The sight of Jeyne's hood falling down to reveal [[spoiler: she has the bright silver hair of a Targaryen.]]

* TheAtoner: Alester exiled himself to live as a beggar and then a Red Priest after the war. [[spoiler: Turns out it's not the war he is trying to atone.]]

* AnalogyBackfire: Ser Alester attempts to use a metaphor about the gods of the Seven being part of a larger whole in order to convince his house septa that R'hllor isn't blasphemous. Suggesting that he's being closed minded. His septa points out, if he'd paid attention to her lessons, that the Seven are in fact facets of one whole so he's using one of their teachings against her.

** Ser Valarr Hill seems to think noone likes him because of his illegitimate status, and not at all due to how freaking evil he is.
** Averted with [[HeroicBastard Jeyne Greystone,]] [[spoiler:and her own child.,]] who is just interested in a [[IJustWantToBeNormal normal life.]]

* IncestIsRelative: Ser Valarr Hill plans to wed his half-sister, Elyana, in order to secure the lordship of Riversprings. Everyone is disgusted and appalled by this idea but, of course, for Cersei Lannister who sees nothing wrong with it.
* [[CaptainSmoothAndSergeantRough Lord Smooth and Ser Rough]]: Alester and Mors have this dynamic when they finally meet up. They're both technically landed nobles, but Alester is rightful heir to a major town while Mors is a professional soldier who surrendered his own lands long ago.

** While not disdaining sex workers, and used to frequently partake of their services, Alester no longer does so as a Red Priest. He makes it clear that Red Priests are ''not'' CelebateHero types, though.

* CelibateHero: Mors is still devoted to his wife that he abandoned to join the Night's Watch. Even during the War, he was notable for not engaging the services of any harlots. This makes him practically unique among the Night's Watch. Ironically, Ser Mormont chides him for this as it makes him devoted to things outside the cost.

* BlackKnight: Ser Valarr Hill is a BastardBastard trained in the ways of both knightly combat as well as sorcery by the Citadel.

* BlackKnight: Ser Valarr Hill

* AnimalMotifs: Mors Westford is a skinchanger whose companion is a dog. He is regularly compared to a canine for his ability to sniff secrets out. His defining characteristic is his loyalty. When we finally see his house sigil, of course it's a dog.

* BadassPreacher: Ser Alester Sarwyck, anointed Priest of R'hllor, will tell you more about the God of Flame and Shadow than you ever wanted to know, and those who don't care to listen often get the FlamingSword instead. Borders on ChurchMilitant, as he hopes to use his authority in Riverspring to create a safehaven for his faith.
* BastardBastard: Ser Valarr Hill seems to think noone likes him because of his illegitimate status, and not at all due to how freaking evil he is.

It is worth mentioning that though the game draws on plot points ignored in the television show, it actually features the voice work of Creator/JamesCosmo (Lord Commander Jeor Mormont) and Creator/ConlethHill (Lord Varys) as their respective characters from the show. Other major characters appearing with unique portrayals are Queen Cersei Lannister, Qhorin Halfhand, and Chataya.

** {{Seer}}: Most Red Priests use their powers to predict the [[ZombieApocalypse coming war between Light and Darkness]]. Alester will settle for knowing where you keep [[MundaneUtility your life savings.]]

* DuelingPlayerCharacters: [[spoiler: The PostFinalBoss of the game is whichever character you didn't pick as the main character for chapters 14 and 15]].
