Finished Episode 1 last night and it was great despite me already knowing the outcome!
My decisions
+
I chose to leave Bowen and warn the others, thinking I might have had a chance to save Rodrick, which was a silly idea in general. I did lie and said that I didn't leave him behind, but they'll never know anyways.
I only killed one of the Whitehill men and spared the other one. Too bad the wasn't a different outcome for that other than Gared not being a total douche.
I returned the sword and kept my promise to Lord Forrester. Good job, Gared!
I made Ethan cut the guys fingers off. Ain't no one gonna fuck around in these here walls!
I chose Royland as a sentinel, but I might replay the episode and choose Duncan. I thought Royland would be a good choice, but I think he's a hot-headed asshole.
As Mira, I seemed to please the queen, even though the discussion with her could have gone a lot better. I also did not ask Margery for help. I knew what would happen if I did, and I didn't like the outcome of that. I also risked it and asked Tyrion for help, even though I still don't know what the fuck he's gonna do.
Ramsey is a dick, but The young lord will be remembered as 'Ethan the Brave.'
THOUGHTS
+
I had hoped there would be a way to save Ethan, but that would have required a lot of effort and more branching story for the devs. That ending couldn't make me hate Ramsey more than I already do, though.
I can't wait to meet Jon Snow in the next episode, and I'm looking forward to playing as Asher in Essos. Maybe we'll meet Mother of Dragons either in this coming episode or the next.
I wonder if Mira will be blamed for being apart of Joffery's murder, if the Purple Wedding is involved in the next episode.
All in all, I can't wait for the rest of the series to come out. I'll probably spend a lot of time waiting playing the game over and seeing all the outcomes in my choice of words
- I didn't forge the letter. The last thing I wanted to do was ruin Margery's trust and have her be in trouble. Plus that bastard Sera came in after the decision, so I'm REALLY glad I didn't do it.
- I kissed Lord Whitehill's ring. I thought it was the better option to at least subdue him for a while, but it seems like I gave him more motivation to just do whatever he wanted. I hate him.
- I won the betrothal! Idk how helpful it will be yet, but that army support should help out quite a bit
- I stood up for Cotter. Fuck Finn!
- I killed the attacker. No way was I gonna let that asshole kill my little coal boy! Then who will make sure my room is warm? I also threw the dagger away. I'm nervous!
The little song at the end make me tear up a bit while watching the cinematic. So god dammed excited for next episode! A little nervous too...
I also died many times during the first fight scene because my controller was being very weird! Asher kept being stabbed in the stomach lol!
Does anybody else share my suspicions about the Maestar at Ironrath? He strikes me as a Littlefinger type character and I am sure he is up to no good. When he insisted on giving Rodrik milk of the poppy I refused, thinking it might be poison or some shit.
Spoiler

I really don't think he has any ill intentions, seeing as he swore an oath and all. If he's a spy, he's done a really good job of convincing us other wise! I accepted the milk of the poppy, even though I wanted to refuse at first. I thought that Rodrick was gonna lose his leg, so I didn't want him to feel pain.
