Has GoT introduced a new RPG class that will rival the Battle Mage in popularity?

I think it actually was a pretty good fight. Two swords isn't a weapon combination any soldiers would have used in the battlefield but it's not unprecedented for expert swordsmen to use two (while more manageable weapon combinations like rapier and dagger actually were common during certain parts of history in duel and self-defence kind of contexts) and the fight portrayed it in such a way where it makes sense: it's not a matter of "increasing DPS" like it tends to be in games but defending yourself more effectively (indeed, the daggers used with rapiers often were specialized parrying daggers). "Dual-wielding" wasn't common because generally speaking a shield or buckler would be preferable but in the hands of an expert swordsman, particularly when fighting against multiple opponents? I could actually see it being a good idea.

Also, props for him wearing a helmet, his opponents not taking turns attacking and killing blows being struck in unarmoured parts of the body.

weird how like everyone I knew couldn't recall that fight between him and the hound
>>
>>337045550
In the books he gives up his resurrection to bring catelyn stark back as lady stoneheart. She then leads his group to basically get revenge on those who tore apart her family and shit gets dark.
>>
>>337045394
In the first book/season Ned Stark sends him out to bring the Mountain to justice. After Ned is wacked his team turns into a Robin hood like gang.

The show fucked them up by having them turn Gendry over to Melly Sanders when they really are good guys in the book, or at least were until Catelyn Stark get resurrected.
>>
As much as I loved the tower of joy fight being shown, two sword Arthur Dayne triggered me too much. A guy whose entire gimmick was based around 1 sword, using two normal ones. Hell, two swords aren't even better against multiple opponents, as not even the best can effectively multitask that much. Shield would have been better for defense.

They also downplayed the role Oswall Whent had in that fight by killing him right off the bat.
>>
>>337045394

Just some minor character in the show thst shows that resurrection was possible. His part in the books is bigger but they have appeared to drop Lady Stoneheart.
>>
>>337045762
I don't know how the fight was portrayed in the books or if the scene is something original to the series, but I think dual wielding did help to emphasize his superior swordsmanship skills. For example, Miyamoto Musashi (a legendary ronin, allegedly having won 60 duels, was famous for this style of combat) and it wasn't unprecedented in Europe either.

On the table, maybe. On the monitor, rangers are just bow&arrow. Magic? Nope. Dual wielding? Nope. Sometimes they don't even get an animal companion.

D&D wise, how would you class Geralt? A ranger, surely. Herbs, beasts, tracking, hunting, fast fighting style, not much armor on him.
>>
>>337047010
They also drastically changed Dorne. It's literally nothing like how it was in the book. Worst part is though is that they are ruining Jaime and cutting out Stoneheart seemed to have destroyed his arc. The TV show at this point is loosely based off the books and unfortunately has been since season 3.

They really fucked this scene up.. I mean, the swordplay wasn't bad, but it's pure character assassination etc

There were three kingsguard there, one of them was a huge motherfucker too (Ser Gerold Hightower)

Arthur Dayne (Dual wielder in show) used a greatsword in the books, it was the greatest non-valyrian steel sword, it was forged so well that it was on par with valyrian steel. The blade was also white. They made him some dual wielding spinner. His greatsword was named Dawn and it was so legendary that Ned personally took it after the battle and delivered it to Dayne's sister because it was their house sword.

Secondly, the man who stabs Dayne in the back was Howland Reed, he was supposed to have a spear and be a manlet. It's heavily implied that Howland did something crazy to save Ned from Dayne, used magic or warged into Dayne.

After the battle, Howland and Ned somehow tear down that entire tower, destroying it, again, heavily implied Howland used magic of some sort, he's a mysterious and powerful character we know little of in the books. They then use the stone from the tower to create individual resting places for all who died there, besides Ned's sister who he takes back to winterfell.

Roach isnt one horse. Roach is the name Geralt gives to every new horse he buys at the end of the week, because the old one got butchered or ran away.

Roach is a long line of horses that Geralt got killed.

>>337047010
D&D know they don't need to try to keep making big money. They were essentially a R'hllorist freedom fighter cell espousing the noblest ideals of chivalry in a land ravaged by two foreign powers, after Beric died they became Stoneheart's Frey killing machine and many of them left.

I know he's a semi-mythological figure but I didn't want to overload the post with multiple words implying uncertainty beyond "allegedly". However, whatever actually might have happened in his duels (if they did occur), The Book of Five Rings most certainly describes a fighting style involving two swords and since using two swords is also what European master swordsmen sometimes did (the video I linked mentions several treatises that feature it), him having used this style does seem plausible.

Besides, what I am getting at is that using two swords is something that's associated with expert swordsmen and expert swordsmen alone. The fact that one of the best-known examples has been attributed with clearly fictional superhuman feats doesn't take that away, it actually reinforces the idea that Dayne is at the absolute peak of human skill.

That being said, as he apparently was well-known for using one sword in the books, that's what he should have done in the series as well.
>>
>>337047820

anyway I did not like this fight scene. The 2edgy dual wielding style, 4 on 1? GoT usually manages to make violence feel more visceral and brutal than this shit.

I am sure you CAN fight with two swords. I've done it, it takes like 20-30 hours of practice to not hit yourself or block your own strikes, and to have both weapons moving at once.

However its just not better than one weapon. It only theoretically has the higher potential, but honestly even a single weapon and an open hand is better, you can catch, grapple, put the extra hand on your weapon to push stronger, balance as you spin and dodge, etc.

Having both weapons moving forward at the same time, repeatedly, or blocking with one and striking with the other, is very hard and doesn't accomplish much in practice.
Your opponent learns to counter it faster than you learn to do it.
Musashi may have done it and displayed his skill in front of others, but I am sure not even he thought its more than a party trick.

Yeah, I agree, but it still bothers me they decided to use the most generic design possible, Dawn is probably the most legendary sword in the entire ASOIAF universe, and yet it looks like a regular long sword.

I haven't practised any martial arts so I haven't developed an eye for judging the distances of when a sword would actually hit you, but to my unpractised eye it did look like the people were trying to hit each other. It certainly was a far cry from, say, Phantom Menace, where it's obvious for anyone that the strikes would miss even if the combatants did nothing about them. So in terms of theatrical fighting, I think it was pretty good.

Or are you complaining about them using the edges of their swords for parrying?

If you instruct the actors to aim for each other's bodies, they will get injured.
You will have trouble recruiting actors for other episodes.
You will get sued.
The media will trash you after they say you instructed them to kill each other.
You will be fired and blacklisted.

that's where i dropped the serie. every character you get attached to is killed, it's not fun nor enjoyable. fuck this show
>>
>>337052028
I don't have enough time to list every retarded thing D&D shit into the show.
>>
>>337052179
Better than that zombie show which has zero sense of danger because they only kill some side guy every season.
Shows where every character can die at any moment now are the best.

I said major plot points, if you think when Brann see's Jon Snow is a Stark-Targeryn hybrid in the next episode or two, that that's not going to be what's revealed in the books then you're a doofus

also however it ends, throne taken or white walkers win or whatever, is going to be exactly what happens in the books too

>It's now all confirmed that the Prince's brother's whore is now the leader of Dorne with her 3 bastard children

What the fuck are they going to do? Invade the rest of Westeros?

I hope Robert Strong splits the sneks in half...oh sorry they don't call him Robert Strong in the show either.

I have been really annoyed at how they folded some characters and their arcs into other characters.

I really wanted to see what happened with the whole Jon Connington crap but instead they went and put his greyscale on Jorah and seemingly wrote out/ignored the kid.

A handful big plot points sure, but a lot of major players in the series were killed in the show that are still alive and some doing totally different things in the books.
>>
>>337053367
Can someone tell me what D&D stands for? All that comes to mind is dungeons and dragons. Also the books aren't very good either.
>>
>>337053524
Highly doubtful. There have been massive changes to plotlines, characters outright not appearing etc.

If George tries it there would be massive lash back. You'd get the obvious "HURR BOOK READERS R ENTITLED!" arguments from the likes of Salon and Jizzabel subscribers but that's about it.

I imagine big plot points will remain; Jon will return, Ramsey probably kills Roose etc. But the books are so different in actual plot there's no way George can turn back and make it run parallel to the show's plot. I mean take Jaime Lannister; show Jaime is side by side with his sister, book Jaime fucking despises her now.
>>
>>337054246
David and Dan, the Jewish producers who run the show.
>>
>>337054021
There's also the lack of real chronology in the books to amke things more unlear.
>>
>>337053808
I'm still surprised at how good Brandon Sanderson's stuff actually is. The Stormlight Archive series will end up as one of the greatest fantasy works of the 21st century if he survives to finish it.

David Beinhoff and DB Weiss, the show's terrible writers

Nobody ever cares about this, but it's true.

All the bickering between bookfags and showfags, and it's all roughly the same level of shit.

Good. Fuck that fatass. All he does on his blog is talk about NFL and food. Would be good riddance once he's gone as his quality of writing has declined drastically since the Game of Thrones.

This The book did it so much better. They didn't even really stress that they were Kingsguard. Why no Whent or Hightower? And dualweilding Dayne was dumb as fuck.

Also, shit fight choreography.

Not only that but the dornish questline is completely different and Myrcella is not dead in the book, and not to forget Daenerys' nephew
>>
>>337065425
Man fuck Olly. He got all his revenge and then some. Magnar Thenn was dead, his parents avenged and he even nailed ygretti with an arrow as a bonus. Fuck his bullshit. Also, how did Thorne really expect to hold castle black against the wildlings (who were already on the other side) and the others (who have millions) with only fifty black brothers, and that's if every single one of them sided with him.

Literally everyone has to fuck up on purpose in order for Danny to come save everyone with her dragons. Everyone who has died would've stopped either the white walkers or Danny from coming over to westeroes.

Waching this idiot flail around and thwack himself in the armpits with his own swords half a dozen times made me want to kill myself.

Just ONCE I want them to give half a fuck about the fight choreography and have people actually TRY to look even remotely accurate.
