  • Telltale Games created a Game of Thrones game around the end of season 3 of the show. We explore the story of House Forrester, a northern house loyal to House Stark, on the brink of extinction. It takes us all across Westeros, from the Wall, the North, Kings Landing, and Essos. You even meet characters like Tyrion Lannister, Daeneryes Targaryen, Jon Snow, Cersei Lannister, and Margaery Tyrell. Like Cersei says, "In the Game of Thrones you either Game the Thrones or the Throne Games you."

      Yeah don’t know what you idiots are on about. The choices may not be vastly different but they do matter and make many differences in the overall plot. Which is the point of the game. They never lied. It’s just that you idiots hear “branching storylines” and expect 15 different outcomes with vastly different characters, locations and more being present.

    Honestly a shame we never got to see how their story ended, but i suppose we could make some guesses in general based on the outcome of the show. I think House Whitehill were part of the Bolton army at The Battle of the Bastards, and thus were annihilated alongside House Bolton. And it makes sense that House Forrester would be restored and regain their family seat when Jon became King in the North.

      Na it was hinting in season 1 that it was gonna be an alliance with The Whitehill. What romance I see as canon - Rodrik & Elaena and Asher/Gwyn. If Rodrik is dead an Asher with Gywn = Ryon & Elaena / If Asher is dead an Rodrik with Elaena = Ryon & Gwyn. If Rodrik is dead and Asher kill Ludd - Asher & Elaena / Morgryn & Gwyn= depends if Mira is dead or else Gwyn will be determinant in this ending / Talia & Torrhen whitehill.
      Ramsey would likely Flay Ludd for not winning the war against Rodrik = Torrhen side with the Forrester/ If Gryff alive he likely trying abused Elaena would make Torrhen killing his brother siding with the Forrester.
      Edit: I forgot Rodrik & Gwyn hard to describe at the moment.

In all honesty, I would’ve been fine if they’d expanded the impact of the choices by just getting rid of the King’s Landing sequence. Also, the Asher vs Rodrik choice is so inhibiting, they could’ve made that so much wider by having to sacrifice someone important to either of them and letting that affect their respective story arcs. A thematically potent choice would’ve been to give both characters a choice between a loved one and a family member. The mother and Eleana for Rodrik, and Beshka and Talia for Asher. Letting that affect the rest of the story with a myriad of consequences.

      Yup also the Boltons tbh made a poor decision on this by leaving the Ironwood to House Whitehill who will just chop down, this extremely valuable commodity that House Forrester has in less then a few years. If we are to make an argument Ironwood must be one of the Top imports of the north considering the Boltons prizes it aswell as Tyrion, Lord Whitehill will be nervous if Ramsey pays a visit, ones they exhaust the stock they have rather then conserve it..
      Also aside from the Boltons when you think about it even if the Forresters return too Ironrath after the Boltons and Whitehills are expelled from the place, the Forresters have to deal with the Whitewalkers next considering they are one of the more Northern Houses in the Region.

    Taking a real house from the books and using the Red Wedding as the jumping off point were both great calls, and really drew me in. I think this game represents the Game of Thrones IP very well. And the structure, with the disparate members of the family separated, smartly gives us the chance to see all the main locales in Westeros just like the main story. And I loved that it didn't shy from being relentlessly bleak. This is my 2nd favorite Telltale game after The Walking Dead Season 1

    Used to be a telltale fan, so of course I bought and played this, since I liked the tv show too. The start was STRONG, you felt the same energy and intensity of the show, and got invested into making this house survive. With time, however, everything gets SO frustrating. Every bit of progress you make is undone quickly, the very universe wants you to stay in bad shape, you could do everything right and the result will alost (key word almost) be the same, which is TellTales curse at work I suppose. Still, unlike other works, the way this game constantly punches you in the face gives way more frustration than it is worth. The ending showed some potential, but after all that frustration, I'd not have bought a season 2 if it existed.

    While the story is decent a lot of it makes no sense, like why would Cersei, Margaery, Tyrion or the Boltons give a shit about an extremely minor dispute between two tiny Northern houses, it'd be different if it were major houses like the Manderlys, Umbers, or Karstarks but it's just two minor noble houses disputing over like 1-2 soldiers being killed in a confrontation, that shit literally happens all the time they would never waste time over something like that. And Mira managing to be a handmaiden to Margaery Tyrell is also absurd, all her handmaidens were Tyrells or related to her and even if some weren't they for sure wouldn't choose Mira Forrester, they would choose a daughter of one of the Tyrell bannermen or something

      Well, the region the two houses are fighting over is one of the few, if not the only one, that harvest ironwood, a wood as hard as iron, so it makes some sense that the Boltons would be interested in securing a strategic resource that it could be used by their enemies, as for Margaery and Cersei it could be seen as a simple power struggle between the two in that clash they have. As for Tyrion... I can't think of much else except wanting to annoy his sister a bit.

    I think the biggest "FUCK YOU" that this game gave me was probably when I chose to let Rodrick live. I felt as if his story made more sense. A man crippled and assumed dead during a bad fight. He comes home, and finds out his father and brother are dead and his family is literally in the worst spot of their lives. So he begins to become a bad ass, and start teaching himself how to fight again, even going as far as saying "I'm going to kill that man.'' So I got invested in his repair and struggle. I liked Asher too, but I kinda felt like his only two character traits were "I am a charming sarcastic guy, and I'm good at fighting", I did, however grow to like him when he got the pit fighters on his side. Rodrick felt a lot more down to earth for me, and I was FAR more invested in his story. So when I choose to let him live, the game parades Asher's head on a pike as if to say "Hey...you made the wrong choice, bud." Because if you choose to let Asher live, they bring Rodrick's body back, all respectful. It felt like a literal middle finger to my choice and I realized how this game was basically torture porn.

    I never played the telltale games... mostly because it became fairly obvious immediately that your choices didn't actually matter, which was supposedly the whole point. It's one of the big reasons the studio crashed and burned so bad. I watched it online hoping I was wrong: If I recall Mira dies or gets married to someone evil at the end of her story, and I remember thinking that there was no way she would survive the first episode of the next season specifically so the two plots could meet up and they could use the same recorded dialog, which is what happened in walking dead.

  • @kagekun1198
    @kagekun1198 Год назад +24

    The game had some great scenes and dilemmas, I'll give them that. But yet again, most games of Game of Thrones kinda miss the mark when GRRM isn't the one behind the writing. The big appeal of Game of Thrones is the way fantasy tropes are subverted realistically. Ned Stark would be a fine protagonist trying to fix the kingdom, but his disdain for politics and intrigue got him killed. Robb Stark would be a fine protagonist trying to avenge his father and save his sisters, and won every single battle he fought, but lost in the political arena when he lost the Karstarks and broke the deal he made with Walder Frey, and Tywin Lannister, the man who crushed them all got killed ignobly after mistreating Tyrion one time too many.
    And yet, there is a flipside to all the bleakness. Because of the Stark's honor and fairness in dealing with their people, there are multiple conspiracies plotting to return the Starks to power and overthrow the treacherous Boltons. That is loyalty that Tywin can only dream of. Because of the hideous act of breaking Guest Right, every single Frey has a target on their back, and they have lost all goodwill (as little as it was) with every lord in the Riverlands and the North. As Tyrion once said, "You may find it difficult to rule over millions who want you dead." And Lord Tywin's legacy just kept burning itself to the ground the moment he died. The smallfolk hate the sight of Lannisters, the Tyrells are scheming to supplant the Lannisters the same way the Lannisters supplanted the Baratheons, and Cersei put the High Sparrow in power, putting her in a cell that she thoroughly deserves. That's the beauty of GRRM's writing, the world of Game of Thrones is cruel, but it's fair. (Barring being a Riverland's peasant)
    With the Telltale game, they put in the bleakness, but not much of the beauty. Telltale games are all railroads. The biggest offender was the first Lost Legion encounter. They come in, steal your treasure, and threaten to kill you. So you fight them off, and then you get your first choice: do you break his neck or break his leg? The guy says that if you kill him, they'll send the whole Legion after you, but I knew that was bullshit. They'll send the whole Legion after you anyway. So I broke his neck. And so on and so on. The second egregious choice is setting up the second "Red Wedding". Those plots never work out. The mother will die no matter what, so it's better to face them in battle and leave with your honor intact. And what were they thinking giving Myra a choice whether she lives or dies? When you die, that's it. Nothing you fought for matters anymore. Better to cling to life through teeth and nail.

    • @susakuzero
      @susakuzero Год назад +3

      Just because GRRM is involved does not mean its good cause of this. Why you think Winds of Winter does not come out ? Here is my simple theory. Martin was actual fine with the Show ending and was also going for this well maybe not 100% but mostly. And since Fans hated it with a pasion he panicked and had to scrap most of what he had in mind. And now he lost all his confidence and is not able to keep going.

    It’s sad that the telltale writers didn’t seem interested in capturing the true feel of The series.
    While the game has fun moments, no matter what you did people were angry with you. Even if you played to their side or kept their secret they still hated you. And as cool as it is to see series characters in the game, ultimately it’s frustrating. We know we can’t stab Ramsey cause he’s alive in the show so it’s a useless option. But that’s how most telltale options are.
    It feels like TT watched a few episodes and all they took away was “main characters die? Absolutely we can do that” but didn’t bother taking in why the book/show does that and how it works. Imagine if right after Ned died, like an episode later, Robb gets killed. And then Sansa and Arya. I understand the game doesn’t have the timeframe to work as the show did but they should have realised that story structure wasn’t good for their time limit.

    The choices don't matter, the twists are illogical and cruel (making no sense whatsoever), the in show characters are exaggerations of themselves and overall it becomes a chore to get through.
    Where Walking Dead was different (and better) is that you don't deal with the major characters, you don't run into any of the big villians, you're just another story in that world. It means that your actions matter more and you're not fustrated with your presented lack of control.

      @@declanjones8888 Main plot lines are looking for a missing brother/succession issues, escorting a bastard (don't have to worry about keeping it alive in combat), and the political intrigue you'd expect in agot. Hopefully I didn't make it sound boring trying to keep it spoiler free/vague.

    Honestly, the best ending is the one where Asher tries to marry Gwyn.
    That way, Ludd loses not one but two of his children, and I got the impression Gwyn was his favorite seeing as he listened to her idea of letting her marry Asher.
    I do kinda wish we got a follow-up as bad as the ending of the show was.

    HUGE bummer that this game didn’t continue…it STILL could, and it has its fans. I don’t know why they don’t go back to it.
