New details about Telltale's upcoming Game of Thrones game.  It will be set between Season 3 and the beginning of Season 5 in the show and features a POV format similar to the books where you play as five members and retinue of House Forrester in the North.  The first episode is going to come out before the end of the year. I'm considering making a thread in Games for it cause I love Telltale games. Let's hope it's more like Season 1 of The Walking Dead and less like Season 2 of The Walking Dead. In It For The Tank fucked around with this message at 21:02 on Nov 11, 2014 |

Walking Dead season 1 was very good but the Wolf among us and Walking dead season 2 were both a bit problematic so I'm just cautiously optimistic for this. I wonder to what extent they are basing it on the show over the books, not that it should make a major difference (they better call her Asha  )

Tell tales destroyed TWD at it's own game, wonder how they will do with some awesome material for once.

VaultAggie posted:This looks pretty awesome, and it seems there'll be six episodes. I loved season 1 of walking dead, what's wrong with 2? Season 2 suffered from the fact that Clementine is the playable character, because in order to give the player agency it meant that hardened adult survivors two years into the apocalypse deferred all of the work and difficult decisions to an eleven year old girl. As a result, nearly every character introduced was some combination of unlikable, unreliable, and unbelievable. In addition, the season lacked any kind of overarching goal like in Season 1, so each episode just kind of had you meandering from one plot development to another. The transparency of deterministic choices also became blatantly obvious: if a character could die in an early episode, it meant that they couldn't play any further role in the story if you saved them and inevitably die later. If you saved a character in, say, Episode 2, that character would be completely regulated to the background with maybe one or two lines an episode until they are unceremoniously killed in Episode 4. It wasn't terrible by any means, it just was not nearly as good as Season 1. I hope the multiple PCs in Game of Thrones will prevent some of the issues outlined above.

Since we will be seeing locations all over the world, including King's Landing, I wonder if any TV characters appear? If they do I hope they hire the actors to do the VA. Also dude I think it might be best to make that thread you was talking about in Games, since we will be getting more and more info until the release and won't have any proper thread for discussion.

The console/PC GoT game that Cyanide Studios released the other year only got James Cosmo and Conleth Hill to reprise their despite most of the KL/Wall regulars appearing in some capacity. Who knows what they'll do though, as from what I've heard, Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey, Nikoaj Coster-Waldau, and Emilia Clarke are some of the, if not the highest paid actors on TV right now. So I could tottaly see Telltale just hiring a professional voice actor like Laura Bailey and having her do her best Cersei impression rather than trying to tackle the pay issue.

I see. That's disappointing, season 1 was fantastic and I picked up season 2 a while ago but haven't installed it. Well thanks for the excellent write up.

Aside from those two though the voice acting in that game was atrocious, which pretty much made it unplayable for me (as well as the visuals and game-play) Which is a shame because it supposed to have a pretty good story. I've never played a telltale game before but I have heard good things about them so fingers crossed. On a similar gaming note, anyone who has Mount and Blade Warband might want to check out the Clash of Kings mod. I've been watching this guy play it and they've done a pretty amazing job. Or for a completely different type of game play experience the Crusader Kings II mod is equally as amazing for the amount of detail they've put into it.

The CKII mod makes me cry myself to sleep every night knowing Paradox seriously had a license to make ASOIAF games but lost it before the show took off. Otherwise, the CKII mod is brilliant.

The top Big Bang actors get almost ten times more per episode (1M/episode). They also have over twice as many episodes per season as GoT. The real world is crueler than Westeros.

I'd guess its "Ay-nis" or "Ay-nees" but you can pronounce it "Ay-nus" if you want, not like anyones going to give you a B- in Westerosi pronunciation or anything.

Arys is pronounces 'Aries' so draw your own conclusion about Aenys.

I believe "fat pink mast" is the correct pronunciation in the ASoIaF series.

Surprised I've never seen it mentioned in any theories or anything, but Jon has a dream in ACOK that strongly suggests that yes, Bran actually can change the past. He sees a talking Weirwood with Bran's face that references things that don't happen until ADWD and then he gets his warg powers activated.

He sees a talking Weirwood with Bran's face that references things that don't happen until ADWD and then he gets his warg powers activated. I have brought it up before and yes, it is strongly indicative that Bran will have the ability to intervene in the past as his powers continue to grow. However, I don't think it is changing the past so much as fulfilling the predestination paradox. I think ASOIAF follows a "whatever happened, happened" mode of time travel, so everything future Bran does has already happened, and present Bran will merely complete the loop. Now, maybe Bran will intervene more in the future to cause critical events to happen where they otherwise would not, like giving Jon his warg powers, but I guess we'll have to wait for that stuff.

I kinda have a feeling that the really bad weather that slows Robb + Co down on their way to the crossing has something to do with Bran learning a lesson about how he can't really change the major events.
