I didn't read ASOIAF as part of any course, my point is I am reading a white male who is writing about rape and lemoncakes

Yeah, Asha'd be pretty good.

Here's how Drogo and Dany look in the comic book adaption by the way:

I really don't like the artists style. The colors and character design look wrong - especially Dany doesn't look like Dany at all.

If you think that, along the way, you're not going to fail... you're blind.

There's no one I've ever met, no matter how successful they are, who hasn't said they had their failures along the way.

I'm not sure what it would have taught you. There's very little "sticky prince eating" in policy analysis nowadays.

I picked up the first issue, but thought it was kinda crap. Releasing it after the HBO show was pretty ballsy and a terrible decision

I'd say it was a decent idea. That way they could ride on the coattails of the series. It works for video games, novelizations, etc. based on movies after all.

I don't know how else you expect Dany to look, but Drogo is definitely not wearing enough eye makeup. Also, I seem to recall that in the comic book adaptation of our favorite series, the children found dire-capybara pups, not direwolves.

Only thing I can think of is her hair being too dark. Much as it looks like poo poo, the wig wossname wears is probably about the right color.

Also Direbaras would make ASOIAF 10x more awesome.

Wouldn't classes be limited to warriors and rogues? Maybe wargs too I guess. And you'd only be able to play humans.

What's wrong with only playing humans? There are some very varied cultures to separate into races. Look at how Age of Conan does it.

I suppose they could split the characters up into ethnic groups. Who will be the equivalent of Alliance and Horde (it seems every MMORPG is copying that mechanic)? North vs South?

Perhaps not, but it is laughable. Game won't see the light of day. The dev looks like a shovel-ware factory. Plus, not enough elves and fireballs for the MMORPG dorks out there. GRRM likes to see his source material raped as much as his characters apparently.

It can't be worse than the RTS that came out a few months back. It's strange that nobody seems to be able to make a decent game with this IP. Then again, it's been 20 years and we never got a good Stargate game, and it's been at least 10 years since a good Star Wars game.

My knowledge of the setting is minimal, but how could the action/RPG work? Isn't the format basically "military group goes through portal, does some poo poo in a place you'll never see again, returns"? I guess I could see an episodic shooter-with-conversation, but RPG?

Licensed games tend to suck in general, as you said (although KotOR 2 was less than 10 years ago). Things like Arkham Asylum / Arkham City are minor miracles in game development.

That could mean jaime or brienne get got then get ressurected by thoros or something and boom. I'm probably just grasping at straws because I really want jaime to be the good guy and bran to turn out to be the villain only so that at the end of the books hahahahahahaha we can say without any joking that its a shame jaime didn't kill bran when he pushed him out the window.
