There's also the voice actors for Varys and Jeor Mormont in the english version.

Is the VA for Mors wife in the english version just as bad as she is in the german one?

She has seriously not a single bit of emotions in her lines. Especially bad in the scene when

SPOILER! Highlite the section below if you want to read it.

Alester and Valarr are "visiting" them at the house in the woods. But the daughter... man... she is good. Or rather it's horrifying how "real" she sounds while Valarr is... whatever the sick bastard was doing. I really wanted to defile his corpse for that. I had to settle for stabbing Alester in the throat.

End of SPOILER

May I ask which ending you people have chosen?

My cannon so to speak is: "I fulfilled my end of the bargain, now what of yours?" "A Lannister always pays his debts."

My second cannon is "Whether of cold, a wildlings axe or your own cowardice, you are all just marking time." "We are already dead! All of us. Accept it."

So I bought the bullet and got it for cheap, and have just gotten to the red keep with Alester (Chapter 4)... The game's not bad... It's not really good imo, but the story is really good so far. I'm enjoying it, something a lot of reviews said I wouldn't. To be fair, I probably woulda been pissed if I bought it at full price.

[Alpha-Centuri]

Lol... Maester Martin... looks exactly like GRRM. Very Stan Lee-esque. I'm loving the story.. I just wish the combat was better. It's a drag.

Another easter egg I found was that in the Mole's town brothel, the prositute's dance animation is the exact same as Liara's in Mass Effect 1. Now THAT was shocking, yet I noticed it from anywhere lol.

Ah, okay. I was sure you would've chosen that

My canon is: "Wait here. It won't take long."

So... I just finished it. Wow.
An excellent story. I did guess a couple things including Alester's larger role in what happened 15 years ago, but that doesn't detract from the fact that it kept me on the edge of my seat at every point of the story.  "The double-edged sword will fight its last!"

I did all of them, but my personal choice for Mors was "Man of the Night's Watch" And for Alester "You win or you die", with the latter being my top choice overall. 


High point in the story was the pure brutality of Valarr. The sequence at Riverspring after the duel... Wow. I didn't see that coming. I gotta admit, the game made a believer out of me. I couldn't put it down and played for like 8 hours straight.

Seriously though, considering I think Cyanide is under license for another game with GRRM, can they do some polishing next time with the mechanics and world? The game could have been huge with that story if the gameplay itself wasn't so bad. A wasted opportunity for the ASOIAF to expand into having a gaming franchise as well.

Wait, how much time did it take you to finish? According to Steam I played it for 34 hours and I'm only in chapter 11.

[Alpha-Centuri]

I topped out at 32 hrs total while doing some but not all side quests

edit: Oh I see how it could look like I'm saying it was 8 hours long. No, I meant that it had me captivated enough to play 8 hour sessions. Games that I slog through I can barely take 45 minutes and I'll complete it in 2 months or so if ever.

Those choices include trusting Varys... and I really can't trust that scheming douchebag.

His german VA from the game and the TV series makes him sound so sleazy that I always want to scream "DON'T TRUST HIM" at my screen, whenever he appears

[Alpha-Centuri]

Haha yeah thanks for pointing that out. Well... he does scheme, but he has never been... how can I say this... selfish in the political schemes. I like to assume that he really does have the realm in mind with every single maneuver he makes. I really saw that in ASOS when he helped Tyrion when he didn't have to at all. Sure his contingency plans are purely self-serving, and both Mors alludes to it and Alester outright says it both in the jail (if you choose the left dialogue) and in the end. However, they aren't ever pure selfishness. Littlefinger does that type of scheming.
In short, I share your qualms. However sometimes you have to trust people on faith

Finally picked this game up and (as expected) the reviewers were way off. The combat is far superior to Dragon Age's and the story flogs anything that was in the ME series.

It's not perfect by any means but it's certainly better than most of the trash released nowadays.

Also Volarr's a boss.

[LPPrince]

Shut up, you're making me want to pick it up. hahaha

I passed this game off a long time ago. Still not feeling it.

It's not a perfect game by any mean and there are many aspect of the story and the setting that felt absolutely out of place for a GRRM's fan like me. But if you accept that the writers have taken some liberties with the original and prepare yourself for some poor choice in term of gameplay not to mention the art department in general, it's overall a pretty decent RPG with an interesting story, some good C&C and interesting charachters. It's a title that's heavily influenced by Bioware's classical style.

All in all, my experience with the game was fine and I'm glad I played it: maybe you should just wait the obligatory steam sale. Just set your expectations right and you could have fun.

I just finished this epic last night. It really makes me wonder what constitutes an RPG nowadays? The critics panned it, most gamers quit after an hour or two but really its their loss. If your a fan of the series you have to pick this up, the story is nothing short of spectacular. Its one of the best written RPGS ive played in the last decade ...yes im serious.

It has its flaws ofc like any other title, namely the wonky camera and the clunky inventory but these minor annoyances are swept away by the narrative. Its a monumental achievement in fact, that they managed to make not one but TWO likeable protagonists who are in no way similar. Their motivations, ethics, loyalties are miles apart but you will find yourself liking them both for different reasons.

The voice acting was average in the main but here and there were moments of brilliance ( Alester and Mors)
Plus you get to meet Maester Martin . Anyway if your a fan of RPGS get this, if your an Action RPG fan then give it a pass.

Final score - 8/10 . Deducted couple points because its a bit unpolished and the gameplay is average but a roleplayer would overlook this stuff.

So, and I probably already know the answer,(Poor Wallet) I'm the biggest A Song Of Ice And Fire Fan you'll ever meet, and I was wondering if this is worth a pick up.

I LOATHE bad games, so if all it has going for it is story, I'll read a synopsis or something.

And Is It Canon? If so, Book canon Or Show canon?

You can't possibly be a bigger ASOIAF's and GRRM's fan then me. No way sir .

I LOATHE bad games, so if all it has going for it is story, I'll read a synopsis or something.

It's mostly the story, the charachters and the choices/consequences. The gameplay has some interesting concepts inspired by Dragon Age Origins but they are rough and underdeveloped. There is not much variety in terms of areas and the game does not suceed in bringing the epicness of the world alive. The graphics are acceptable but the animations are tragic and the voice over is really poor.

So, if you're not interested in the story, better skip this one or buy for 5 $/€ max.

And Is It Canon? If so, Book canon Or Show canon?

It's not canon in any way: it should be considered pure fanfiction. Having said that: is there a "show canon"? There can be only one canon and it's the books . The show is just another form of fan fiction .

Well firstly George approved the storyline so it didnt disrupt the book canon. The events take place during book one and it sticks closely to the source material. It basically expands on the witchhunt Cersei had on Robert's Bastard children. Two very different men get drawn into this plot (Both being Lannister bannermen) and you have the usual treachery and backstabbing that we are all used to.

Secondly , the gameplay at first takes some getting used to. The combat for instance is pause and play which alot of folks dont like. Not to mention its abit montonious starting off as you have limited skills/ abilities. Unlike the critics though who stopped around chapter 4 i persevered  and its actually quite decent once you can do combos with companions etc.

The camera takes getting used to ..i wont lie its horrible at first but you get used to it. The inventory is also irritating at first but again its no game breaker.

The strengths of this game are; the characters, the plot, meaningful choices (gasp), the setting.
If you are really that big a fan then its a no brainer since its more Game of Thrones but interactive.

"But I've written a whole chapter last month": LOL! Btw, who has voiced Maester Martin? The voice is quite similar to the big man's one.

I respect your opinions but imho you are too generous. For me is a 6/10. Wich is not bad in my book (consider that I would give to B:AC only a 7/10).

Well George has said himself that he would ignore any other media if it interrupted with the flow of the story hes telling but he could use this material if he really felt like it.  He made a statement saying he was moderately pleased with the game so Cyanide studios did good storywise.

Well yes if i was going with the old ratings system id say a 7/10 but nowadays people dont touch anything unless its atleast an 8/10 which is ridiculous ofc. I still think though that for a small studio they did the books some justice and i was happy enough with the end product.

Sadly i cant find the VA for Maester Martin listed anywhere but i wouldnt be surprised if it is him.

Well, the George says many things when he has to sell something . Mind, don't take it as a form of criticism: I would do the same. If you license your IP, you better support the work of the people who paid good money upfront for said IP. But I'm not even sure that the big man has played the game or that anyone but his assistant has reviewed the storyline .

And I would question the concept of the game not interacting with the source materiale. I mean, technically you are right. But it's too big of a storyline and the charachters are too important in the game to take them as anything but fanfiction. Can't go on for fear of spoilers.

Well yes if i was going with the old ratings system
id say a 7/10 but nowadays people dont touch anything unless its atleast an
8/10 which is ridiculous ofc. I still think though that for a small studio they

Mind: I completely agree with your sentiment. For a small game of a small studio is a nice little CRPG and I had a lot of fun with its story and charachters.

Well, the first season is a summary. The second season not so much and there are a lot of fans (you know, true fans :DDDD) that do not like it a lot for that reason. I mean, it's not the fact that they have taken some liberties while adapting the books. It was to be expected and the first season is more of the exception than the norm.

It's that they totally screwed some of the best storyilines of ACoK (Jon voyage beyond the wall), make some poor decision for some storyline (Rob: "let's romaaaaance an outspoken D&D cleric" and Brienne: "me bad, me kill") and managed to do worst than the original for the Qarth storyline (and it was quite hard). Moreover: I do not get why they have removed all the prophecies from the series. It's one of the most loved element of the original.

No Rhaegar with the harp that says "he is the prince who was promised and his is the song of ice and fire"? C'mon.

I would only save episode nine, that was written by George himself and felt more true to the original. Bron singing The Rain of Castamere was epic.
