Aye, I also would like one of the playable characters to be a woman. Regardless of her position in society, she'll still have to deal with the heavy sexism of the world of A Song of Ice and Fire(naturally given the setting) but hopefully she can be portrayed as a strong character like so many of the women in the novels are.

 

I also hope that there won't be some massive backlash towards the treatment of women in the series with people insinuating there's some goal to make them look weak. I'm actually surprised that GRRM has managed to get a pass from this after Game of Thrones brought his universe into the mainstream.

 

Though I'll be honest, some of the mainstream fans of Game of Thrones can still be ridiculous even these days.

 

"Is George R. R. Martin done writing the new Game of Thrones book? Its been so long since the one I didn't read and won't LOLOL books suk"

He tends to write his characters as people first, which is evident in the writing, and it's also how he usually answers question such as "How do you manage to write female characters so well?". In the gaming industry, I feel this is something Ragnar Tørnquist and people at Funcom/Red Thread do best -- Avoid those general stereo/and or archetypes and simply focus on writing good characters that come off as living, breathing humans, it's easier said than done obviously but there it is.

I don't think he tends to think too much about, what would make sense this female character I'm writing to do, as opposed to simply writing the outerlines first then have gender come in as part of the development process. This is how I'm picturing it.

I can't wait for this. One of the few things I'm excited for!

Yeah but Westeros is sexist heavy. My doubt stems for TellTale reluctance due to the possible backlash.

But I'm sure TellTale will deliver.

The world is sexist but - Cersei's really problematic portrayal in the book aside - the actual work isn't sexist. Which gives a lot of room to explore stories from the POV of a female protagonist.

Besides they could do a Brienne of Tarth like character.... assuming this family has a woman warrior.

I would imagine their characters will follow the archetypical persons we see in the stark family. It sounds like they're all stark expys anyway. So I think you're less likely to get brienne and more likely to get arya. But maybe I'm wrong.

Haven't read the books. What's problematic about Cersei?

A) Lena Hedley isn't playing her. I don't mean this as a joke - Cersei the character doesn't have anywhere near the powerful emotional range that she has on the show when we see her from the POV of the other characters. To Eddard she's prideful and pitiable - a victim and victimizer depending on where you are in the story. To Sansa she's a sweet second mother and an abuser. To Tyrion she's a vindictive idiot. But the real Cersei is an unknown. Until her POV.

In her POV she's basically an insane idiot. She's pretty much exactly what Tyrion sees her as inside. A lot of the emotional depth is missing.

Cersei is an interesting character for sure and a complex one at that. She is a character built on contradictions of her own nature, which is varied and gets represented distinctively through different people (Jaime, Tyrion, Sansa, etc). Simplifying her character simply as a ambitious, power-hungry fanatic is doing her character a disservice, since she is also a mother, a lover and a soldier on herself. 

 

I can certainly see the hate for her, but I can't stop loving her for her complexity and simply the essence of her character.

Screenshots of the game have appeared online. Here are a few samples.

Looks surprisingly good. A lot better than I initially imagined it would be (though textures are bit iffy). A trailer might pop up soon as well.

[TheChris92]

They don't actually use the cartoonish-cell-shaded-visual-nonsense of Walking Dead? Excellent.

Though the character models do seem somewhat similar but ehhh, hmm

[Paragon Gabriel]

Hmm, looks like Telltale has found a mix between their artstyle. Well looks good. Might get it if the trailer is interesting.

Oh damn, they're actually using the likenesses of the actors from the show? I wonder if they'll provide the voices as well. This is definitely a day one buy for me.

Based on the show, they said, so not surprising.  Also ensures the interest of fans of the show that haven't touched the books.

I remember in the GOT game they made a long while back a few characters did not use the likenesses of the actors, so I thought that might be the case here as well. I'm glad it is not, and I hope they'll lend their voices as well.

Didn't they?  I'm pretty sure they used the actor's appearance and Varys definitely had the same voice.

[TheRealJayDee]

Damn, that doesn't look bad. But now they need to use the original actors' voices, or the whole experience instantly breaks down, at least for me. There can't be a Tyrion looking like DInklage, but not sounding like him, just no ****** way.

Very cool.  Time for mindless speculation!

 

I would think it's safe to say that the bearded knight is likely the head of the house.  We see him a few times.  We also see two younger guys with floppy brown hair.  I bet that they are the sons and that at least one of them (the guy on the horse) is going to be a POV character.  In that same picture (him on the horse), you can see the knight and a younger woman with light brown hair seeing him off.  I wonder if she's going to be a sister.  There's also the close up of the woman with similar coloring but a slightly different hairstyle sitting in front of a house standard (purple with a tree and sword).  Is that crest from a known house or is that going to be House Forrester's crest?  If it's the latter, then I would suspect that she's going to be the matriarch of the family and wife of the knight.

 

So, going off of a very quick and totally speculative look at those pictures, my predication is:

 

Father - Knight with beard

Mother - Lady in front of the purple standard

Eldest son - Guy on the horse

Younger son - Other floppy haired young brunette guy

Daughter - Gal seeing the eldest son off

 

I'm not suspecting that they will all be POV characters though.  Maybe only one or two of them.  The rest will either be other relations or servants, I suspect.

 

Also, if the House is going to be in danger at some point, I suspect that the bearded knight won't make it beyond the first or second episode.  Otherwise, traditionally, he'd be the one that the story would focus around. 

 

End speculation that is likely very, very wrong.

The game looks awesome but I agree it will be a shame if the voices aren't from the actors of the TV series.
