Looks like episode 1 comes out next week.

I'll be playing this Friday night. Stoked!

EDIT: WTF? Tales from the Borderlands came out 3 days ago? Man, these guys don't give a f*ck about promotion and hype. Both of these games came out of nowhere. And apparently it's pretty great.

I hope you can deviate from the canon events that come later. I'd love to potentially kill major show characters.

Hearing Ramsey at the end gave me chills. Knowing it's that crazy f*ck looking to wipe out your family is pure dread. I cant wait for this!

Also, I'm liking the House Forrester family portrait. It's seems strange that Ned is in it though. I know it's to illustrate the fact that they are the Starks loyal bannermen, but it seems a bit weird to include Ned.

I love how it portrays the family members different roles in the family in some way too. Asher being turned away shows that he's an outcast, Lord Forester with the signature Ned longsword pose gives him his wise/fatherly aurora, the child looking up to him, (etc...).

Has anyone else played this? It was pretty great! I'm definitely looking forward to future episodes.

Ramsay was a great villain, as usual. So are the Whitehills (Bolton bannermen, who have hated the Forresters for centuries). The Forresters really are Starks 2.0.

I did not like this. I love telltale tho and will play through the rest

Played it, loved it. And Telltale really nailed it. You feel like nothing you do is ever good enough in true GoT fashion.

And poor

Spoiler:
Roderick Forrester, and Lord Forrester, and Ethan Forrest. Seriously they killed almost half the family in the first episode.

Wasn't a big fan either. It was too slow and so far my choices seem to have been utterly meaningless.

I feel restricted in the sense that "oh well I'm not going to kill Ramsey because he is in the books.

And it's real depressing.

Has anybody else been playing this? Episode 3 got pretty amazing.

Spoiler:
Gared is going to desert the Nights Watch. I killed the douche who killed my family and made him suffer, so thats going to blow up in my face. I feel like Gared is the most screwed. There is no way to talk his way out of this. He murdered a brother in cold blood and is deserting the nights watch. He is dug himself into a pretty deep hole. On top of that, we're working with a Wildling. Cotter the Potato ****er turns out to be one of Mances free-folk, which was a big twist for his character. Now his complete lack of honor makes sense. It's pretty crazy that Gared and him are going to desert together.

Second most screwed position is poor Rodrick. Dude is being forced to eat shit by the Whitehills, and Gryff is basically Joffery all grown up. I don't know how Rodrick can handle this. His people are already sparse enough since his fighting army got slaughtered by The Mountain and his commoners have almost completely deserted. On top of that, he has a spy in his council? The dude is drowning. I want to say that the spy is the Maester, but that seems to obvious. I hope its not Lady Forrester. I actually told her the secret.

Mira seems to be handling things somewhat well though she's still not doing great. Cercie hates her, Margery wants to replace her/no longer trusts her, she was known to be plotting with Tyrion before he got arrested for Joff's murder, and she still has someone gunning for her enough to put a hit on her. She also seems like she's digging herself into a hole with every choice, like Gared.

This show is covering ground fast enough. The first episode was the Red Wedding. This episode was the Purple Wedding. I'm hoping the last episode edges into next season.

Hopefully it keeps up the momentum.

Ethan Forrester looks like a conniving traitorous little shit.

Hilarious in hindsight much.

Lol it really is. I guess I shouldn't judge a book by its cover.

I was half right for my Ethan though. He was a little shit. Complete douche to Whitehill and a bit too opposed to Ramsay.

I dunno about this one, but the action-rpg one was involved in a flash sale on the ps store for 80 cents. Thats pretty generous for a mediocre game based on a beloved tv series.
