It depends on the game.

Dark Souls:

Dark Souls 2:

In any decent tabletop/videogame STR essentially is DEX depending on your character. To be high in one and low in the other represents some disorder. It's better represented by a high or low skill in the type of weapon you're using.

Philosophy was his goal, it was his only reason for fighting. Had he not accomplished that he wouldn't have really accomplished anything other than killing the Mountain which he did anyways.
Though on second thought, all he accomplished was getting Mountain to admit the well known fact he did those things everyone knows he did. He REALLY wanted him to admit that Tywin put him up to it. Which I'm not sure but he didn't di he? He just didn't care that it happened on his watch. So Obeyrn died for no reason, and his death just lead to his beard killing what was left his actual family save his bastards. Who are her pawns.

But that was not the goal of his duel. He wanted Gregor to confess murdering his sister by Tywin's murders. That's why he delayed killing him. "Revenge" on the Mountain was too short-sighted. He wanted to drag the entirety of the Lannister family's name through the mud.

the analogy with the lottery would be like if he got the numbers right, then burnt his ticket (assuming you need the ticket to claim the prize)

I see where you're coming from now
First, I'd still say he lost the duel because even if he achieved his goal he still fucking died which is what you don't want to happen in a duel
Second, I'm not so sure he even achieved that goal. It's been pretty long since I read the books but didn't the Mountain just say he killed them (which everyone knew already). I seem to remember nothing ever coming of that confession

Literally because the narrative is scarier that way. The implication is that it's his head and that Ser Robert Strong is without a head, which is why he wears a completely face concealing helmet and why he took a vow of silence.

It makes Qyburn seem more dangerous and Cersei even more insane.

Do I literally have to spell it out for you?
>>
usually i prefer str.

str weapons are usually long. also the longer the weapon is the heavier it gets so str helps dealing with the weight.
longer weapons often have swing attacks that deal aoe dmg which obviously helps against groups of enemies.

some enemies have some kind if shields or can block which requires you to attack with a certain moveset to be able to deal dmg. the high base dmg of str weapons often help me to kill those enemies in few swings before they get their shield up again or recover and can block again.
another benefit of the high base dmg is that you are often able to one shot enemies. if you get to the point where you know the moveset of the enemy you only need one opening to kill it. one block or a side step and you oneshot it.

str weapons also often have something like stun-effects or armor penetration. not only helps the first one with channeling abilities or to interrupt the enemy, but combined with the high base dmg and armor penetration you can try your luck on higher leveled enemies.

obviously this varies from game to game and depends on it's specific mechanics but that's my general observation.
also you may have noticed that my english is not the best. sorry not sorry that not everyone is speaking it natively

Oberyn championed himself to Tyrion's cause, and then got his head smashed into it because of his own stupidity. And they want revenge for it?

What?

Trial by combat is a fight to the death. It's not like Oberyn was suprpised in his sleep by the Mountian who started crushing his head.

No, it's a fact that he was close to defeating him, then died horribly, losing the trial.

The trial by combat in GoT universe must end in death or yielding, and the Mountain didn't yield. But Oberyn did die.

I'm using the rules for the trial by combat from the GoT universe, which they were taking. What rules are you using to determine that Oberyn won anything?

I don't care how much he taunted, danced, pranced, whatever, he opened his guard and was punished for it.

I don't want to say "it's shit on purpose" but it always felt to me like he was deliberately done as a "joke" or a commentary on kid heroes and lone wolves.

He seems like a stereotypical edgy kid protagonist of a shitty novel until it bites him in the ass because he doesn't communicate with people (and especially his plans) and comes off as a stuck up jerk.

Was my first post on subject.

I read:

>It is a fact that Oberyn beat the Mountain.

Which he did not, because the trail wasn't over.
He had him at the brink, but then got cocky and lost.

If he had won Tyrion wouldn't have been shipped off in a box, he would have walked free.

God I hate this about Jon.
He never explains what the fuck is going on to people.

"Winter is coming"
"The true enemy is beyond the wall"

Just say: "White Walkers are fucking coming. They have a fuckhuge zombie army and everyone who dies gets added to it. We NEED to get our shit together or we all end up as fucking zombies, and then everyone dies"

The combat was over, then it restarted because nobody expected the mountain to crop the viper.

If you see that as uninterrupted combat then I agree with your view; if the viper hadn't been cocky he would have left mountain on the floor dying and claimed victory.

In the books (Which started off as War of the Roses fanfiction) people wear real life-like armor. Chainmail, breast plates, complete suits of plate armor. And the magic is gone and the first dragon is born at the end of the first book, which is heralded as the return of magic in thousands of years.

So, bar the weird way seasons work, the world of ASOIAF is magic-less until Dragons are reborn, which means that it's you who is retarded.

Good thing he has like...thousands of eye witnesses then? And even if they don't believe the wildlings, the brothers of the night's watch would vouch for him.

It's not mental gymnastics. It's a point of view. Not even that, it's just a way of phrasing it, really. Hence why I'm not saying you're wrong. It's just that we're not wrong either. You're just autistically literal-minded.

>>344646691
No but you could have and I would've agreed.

>>344646716
I just said the rules of the trial are besides the point.

Look, it's like you're playing a footie match and you manage to score one goal. Now, your defence is unmatched so you basically just have to ride it out to the end. But then someone passes to the keeper in the last minute and the keeper lets it through like a pillock and it's 1-1 and you lose during the penalties.

If someone said "we had already won until we fucked up" that would be a completely legitimate way of phrasing it. But then you'd be like "beep boop does not compute a winner is only declared after the playtime is over according to the rules of the game"

You only quoted the start and missed the whole bit about how if Oberyn had not been cocky he would have claimed his victory and left mountain on floor dying.

You're right, the combat never ended for the mountain, but the judges would have called it if oberyn had just cheered and claimed victory.

instead he gets cocky and wonders over.

One more time. In a philosophical sence (is clegane even really alive after the duel in a human sense?) the mountain does die later, and Oberyn got him to admit his deeds at the cost of his life. Oberyn won his little battle but lost the war of not only clearing Tyrions name but surviving as well.

From what I remember, battles are left out of the Books because George doesn't want to fuck them up since he doesn't have military knowledge. Action happens before and in the aftermath of battles. But, considering that Westeros is based off feudal western and central europe and there's major use of mercenaries and professional soldiers, battles in there happen just like they did in medieval europe.

Since one of the major plots of the books draws inspiration from the War of the Roses, the era is presumably in the 15th century, but without gunpowder and tercio, since gunpowder seems to not exist/hasn't been invented in the ASOIAF world.

Ex,) you see someone get drunk and fight someone only to get Killed due to carelessness. One might think to not drink if you have to do something physically and mentally arduous?

Thinking is hard, huh?
