Anyway just finished ep 1!

Spoiler

+

- Left Bowen behind. I liked Lord Forrester much more and he was more important anyway - Swore loyalty to Joff. Margaery told me to say what Cersei wanted to hear so I did exactly that! She seemed to understand - Sent Erik to the wall. GOTTA RUN A TIGHT SHIP! I didn't even feel bad - Picked Duncan as Sentinel. I was thinking Royland was the better choice, but Talia had been making me feel so shitty about everything I just had to listen to her on this. And after thinking about it more it made sense to try to kiss up to Ramsay rather than meet him with force, since Forrester's a small house and is vastly outnumbered - Met Ramsay in the Great Hall for the same reasons. DIDN'T REALLY PAN OUT HOW I HOPED THO!!! God that ending was great. That was the perfect note to start off a GOT series. So who's Lord now? ASHER? Talia? I hope it's Talia and we get to play as her. The preview kinda made it seem like it's Duncan though which is weird. Sansa is the heir to Winterfell with Rickon/Bran presumed dead, so I'm not sure why it wouldn't be the same case with Talia Can't wait to go to the Wall and Mereen next episode. UGH I CAN'T WAIT TWO MONTHS! I wish this and Borderlands had come out a month apart

Biggest disappointment was some technical stuff. Glitchy animations and weird controls. I died a lot at the start. I probably died more in the opening than I have in all of TWD combined, I never die in TWD. I might just chalk it up to not being used to playing on my laptop though, it felt very different. My mouse works fine but in the game it was super slow and lagged behind me, and some of the quick actions just weren't intuitive to me at all. But besides that it was all very good

yeah I noticed this on the 360 version too. Sometimes the dialogue would lag behind the lip movement, and sometimes even when it did sync up it looked really clunky. It was sporadic enough that it didn't ruin much, but still annoying

Haven't watched The Walking Dead at all but I like the game. I don't know if there's that much crossover with the show

There's none at all

Unless you count Glen in the few minutes he cameo-ed, there's no crossover and I hope it stays that way.

And Hershel. But it was more in line with the comics anyway because of Hershel's son

Yeah Glenn and Herschel were both based off their comic counterparts. TWD Game is based on the comics, not the show. The title even has the comic font.

Gonna try this out sometime within the month. I haven't watched a lick of GOT (Although I do want to get into it eventually), but that hasn't stopped from enjoying the Borderlands or Fables games. Might perhaps just be the thing I need to finally push me to start watching.

You'll hardly enjoy this unless you watch the show first. You gotta watch the first three seasons. I wouldn't play unless you watch it, I think you'd ruin both the show and the game for yourself

1x01 + The fifth decision should've been letting Ramsay take my twin sister or not. That would've been INTENSE. Let him take her to satisfy Ramsay and end everything, or grab her away/volunteer yourself instead. Then either option could've led to your death, I would've been fine with that. Missed opportunity there I think

Spoiler	+
It would've been really cool if they did this and it changes what they call you after. Like in the preview it's revealed that you're now known as ETHAN THE BRAVE, but if you did that they could call you Ethan the Cravenly or whatever. Though there was the option of silence, which is almost as dark. Not sure if anything changes if you pick that, probably not

Agreed. A big part of my enjoyment was speaking with characters from the show, especially the Cersei scene. That would've been lost if I didn't know who they were

and on that note

show S4 spoilers	+
it makes me really sad that we won't get a JOFF appearance because I think they're only using actors still under contract with HBO. Imagine how great that would've been

How long do we have to wait between episodes?

How long do we have to wait between episodes?

2-3 months

TOO LONG

FUCK YOU + Ramsay. You little shit! I did my best to appease you and you stabbed me in the neck anyway! Fuuuuuck you. I should have listened to Royland. At least then I would have died with some honour intact. I am not sure how these games work, but I wonder if there was any possibility of avoiding this death. People who have played telltale games before might be able to answer this. I tried to play Ethan as a diplomatic character. I did my best to appease Ramsay by bending the knee. I managed to persuade him that giving Whitehall all the Ironwood was a mistake, at which point I was thinking "Gee I'm so smart, Ramsay is so easy to manipulate" But then...fucking hell, he decided he wanted to take my sister hostage. Ughhhh. Ramsay you sociopathic fuck. Anyway, I am disappointed the option to let her go wasn't there, but at the same time I was hoping that the option I did choose would appease Ramsay (I decided to try volunteer myself as a hostage instead). For a second I thought Ramsay admired this...then he stabbed me in the neck. God damn it.

I haven't looked it up but I don't think there was anyway to avoid being stabbed. Basically with Telltale games, the broad strokes of the story are set in stone, but all the details (and emotions) are what change based on your choices. It'd be nice if you could drastically change the story but I can see that that'd be incredibly difficult, especially with their (relatively) quick schedule
