Sure, some characters will die and live based on your choices, but ultimately, whoever needs to survive will survive, and you’re always pretty much following a set piece story. That being said, the choices that you make are decidedly hollow, with the game mostly guiding you back to how the story should be, rather than allowing you to create your own story with different outcomes. There’s also the fact that you’re playing the world of Game of Thrones, which is grim, complex, and yet somehow beautiful, so if you’re a fan of the show or the books, then you’ll definitely enjoy the atmosphere. Game of Thrones does a good job of presenting you with difficult choices to make, and the QTEs are satisfying when you do them right. Speaking of choice, much like other TellTale game, gameplay mostly comes in the form of quick time events (QTE) and gut-wrenching choices. What happened instead, is that we’re treated to pretty much the same character development as the show, albeit with some aspect of choice. Having a new and, somewhat unknown in the literature, house, should have allowed TellTale to really go places they couldn’t have before, while still maintaining a canonical story. Unfortunately, this mirroring of the characters from the main show is a letdown in terms of narrative. There’s also two more characters who come in later in the game’s episodes who also act as lords of the house. Ranging from the lord of the house who is thrust into a position of power before he’s ready, to a member of the house serving on the wall, to a Sansa – like girl who develops from a shy little thing into a schemer. Much like other TellTale games, you don’t control one character, but five. As such, you are thrust into the story of a house in disarray, trying to deal with the political and world changes that the Red Wedding has brought on. Interestingly, TellTale chose to go with a somewhat unknown family, the House of Forrester, which is off-handedly mentioned in the books and isn’t even mentioned in the show. Game of Thrones: A Telltale Games Series – Episode 6: ‘The Ice Dragon’ is rated ‘M’ (Mature) for Intense Violence, Blood and Gore, and Strong Language by the ESRB.Unlike what you would expect from a show turned video game, the story picks up from the end of show’s season 3 and the infamous Red Wedding. Scattered across Westeros and Essos, each will play their part in seeking to save House Forrester from destruction. Each is a member of House Forrester either a direct family member, or a person in service to the House. The game is played from five different points of view. Players will visit familiar locations such as King’s Landing and The Wall, as well as unfamiliar locations such as Ironrath, the home of House Forrester. The events in the game series begin towards the end of Season Three of the series, and end right before the beginning of Season Five. The game series is based on the world, characters and events seen in HBO’s TV show, which in turn is based on George R. What is the fate of House Forrester? When you play the Game of Thrones, you win or you die. In the frozen wilds beyond The Wall, Gared learns the secrets of the mysterious North Grove, and Mira discovers that political games in a King’s Landing controlled by Cersei Lannister often involve the highest stakes of all. With House Whitehill tightening its grip on Ironrath at the behest of Ramsay Bolton, the remaining Forresters must give their all to save the family, whether through diplomacy, subterfuge, or violent force. Your story is about to come to an epic conclusion.
