She might think she has a name, but she has no name in the eyes of the faceless god, meaning she can't be killed.

>>70855691
Agreed :^)
>>70855765
He needed a Stark so probably would have given her Winterfell.
Or if my CK2 games are any indication he'd burn her as soon he took King's Landing.
Why did they fuck her storyline up so badly? When does her story end in the books?

>None of us (Waif excepted) want to see Arya killed off.
I really liked Arya and her role in the show was pretty good, with the adaptation to being Tywin's servant being understandable since you can't cram in as many characters if you want people to remember them. Then the part with Sandor was pretty good too.
But then she got to fucking Braavos, and I swear to god she has done nothing since. Her character doesn't change in the slightest and all she learns is trivial bullshit she'll never be able to use.
With Sandor, Syrio and when she was on her own she at least struggled to learn how to get by and was disciplined to fight. The Faceless Men did none of this except for honing her natural talent for fighting with a blunt weapon while blind. Fucking hooray.
Honestly I just hope she's dead even though I know she isn't.
>tfw you want to Stannispost in /got/ but you have no motivation to do it
>>70855812
Is that the dnd submod you were playing?
>>70855813
There's some foreshadowing line in the book about her dying in winter with needle in her hand.
But she's the favourite character of George's wife and she said she'd leave him if Arya dies - knowing what a cuck George is that guarantees her survival.

actually arya DID see that old lady before : Her face was in the hall of faces thingy and Arya stared at it for a while.
This is why I just couldn't get my mind off the fact that it was all an elaborate ruse or some shit, I thought woah, this is finally some decent writing that links different scenes together!
But no, it's just shit as usual.
>>70855920
They're black. Don't you criticise them.
>>70855843
Now it is over. Best thing to happen is that her part stops for the next view episodes and starts with her arrival in westeros. Her wolf ist still alive and she is still a stark.

>>70855939
Post the photoshopped version
>>70855920
contractual obligations for a certain amount of episode appearances throughout a season
So D&D/Cogman literally have to write scenes for them to fulfil that, even if it doesn't further anything
Imagine an open world single-player sandbox game set in the entire continent of Essos.
You could start as a slave or a street urchin in some Free City or Slaver's Bay and start an adventure by joining a sellsword company and exploring these exotic and violent cultures.
You could fight in wars, explore the Summer and Jade Seas, ride with the Dothraki, join factions, explore the far eastern lands of Yi Ti and the Shadowlands, make a fortune, hire Unsullied, buy slaves or free them, meet warlocks, learn about blood magic, all of it.
Endless possibilities. It would be the perfect setting for a CD Projekt Red or Bethesda-tier game.
>>70855885
not to mention cuter
Are there any based, non normiefag podcasts that does GoT reviews? No I don't mean fags like preston or alt x shift or any other bookfags.

>>70856039
Westeros is generic medieval Europe land
Essos is really something creative and interesting, and there's so much we haven't seen of it
It's the difference between Oblivion and Morrowind

Thats a weird glitch that just isn't right. Sansa isn't considered a prisoner for some reason. That's why Stannis burns her. The game thinks shes on Joffs side for some reason.
Are macefags completely eliminated?

>That's because you don't have an appreciation for European history like most millennials.
No, I am fascinated by it. The thing is, the "medieval European" setting has been used in nearly every single fantasy world in all types of mediums for decades. Lord of the Rings, Westeros, Dragon Age, Dungeons and Dragons, World of Warcraft, Elder Scrolls, and those are just some of the bigger titles. The whole list is countless.
Whereas a cultural mixup like Essos that takes elements from mythology and ancient east and the orient are rare in fantasy settings, and they become really interesting if done well. Something exotic, brutal, savage, barbaric, totally alien in culture. Something you're not used to. And Essos has like 20 different cultures, all pretty interesting to explore, while Westeros has like 4.

Probably has to do with licensing issues. Just give it a few years when HBO is done with the series. Some big gaming company will be butchering it. We'll probably see a shitty Total War version down the line to take our money.

>>70856255
the thing is european history is infinitly more well documented and represented through art than asian, african or american history.
it's much harder to depict any other ancient culture, because there simply isn't as much written or depicted accounts of how life was there, or what hapenned.
it comes to the point where the best accounts we do have are from european merchants and travellers (which can't be given much credit)
So, what about that bowl lads?
post some fresh book vs show pics from s6
>>70855939
D&D have truly fucked Arya's story, at least in regards to the Faceless men.
All throughout the chase I was not impressed. The Faceless men do not chase people through the streets, none of this Assassin's Creed bullshit, in the book they more or less say exactly this, they're not Bravosi, they're subtle cold assassins. The don't need to run because there is no where you can hide and also they can fucking steal faces so you'd always be looking over your shoulder.

I haven't played it either but from what I've seen it looks pretty good. It's a medieval open world sandbox mmorpg, not just hack and slash.
Someone should mod it a bit and turn it into an ASOIAF rpg
>>70856011
It has to be different from Skyrim tho. Shit has to be tough and really unpredictable like in GOT
>>70856255
Well I don't give a shit about fantasy settings. GoT is literally the only fantasy series I'm into because it's earlier seasons were more historically inspired than that of a fantasy. I would prefer to read a history book over a fantasy fiction any day.

It was trash, nearly every "original" character was a 1 for 1 with the Starks and the even almost followed the exact same story.

>>70856393
>I haven't played it either but from what I've seen it looks pretty good
they all look pretty good. that's the whole point.
then you play them and yous ee that it's all the same fucking thing, with one or two difference that isn't enough to make it a whole different game.
No one innovates anymore, not in the mmorpg world at least.
I've just read an article on "why you should be xcited about black desert" and it seems like the same bullshit.
>It's very immersive, it feels like a game and not a gear grind like the rest of them

if they were to do this, I hope that they'd follow the books instead of the show considering the Faceless Men are infinitely more interesting in the books
>>70856392
For the record, the setting didn't make Morrowind good; what made it good was the writing (in terms of characters and quests) and the game mechanics. A setting is mostly just window dressing.
For example, people like Westoros as opposed to Essos because of the history and characters that are depicted there. Essos is exotic, but I care much less about it because the history for it is not nearly so well filled in, nor are the characters, nor the families and politics.
Oblivion wasn't bad for the setting; it was bad for the lousy game mechanics, quest arrows, and bland writing.

>No one innovates anymore
Well okay, what innovative concepts would you like to see in new MMORPGs?
On a side note - watch a youtube vid with gameplay
>>70856497
anyone remember the name of that sidequest were you were invited to dinner, someone got shanked during. and you had to find out who did it as people got killed, cluedo style?
i can't remember, maybe it had something to do with niggers?
>>70856453
The story was broadly similar, for certs.
How were the characters the same though?
I'll grant you Ryon - Rickon and the parents. Otherwise the characters aren't really anything like the Starks.
>>70856453
>Asher
>Rodrik

It showed us the story of a northern house getting unsurprisingly wiped out after the red wedding. Pretty accurate to the source material.

>>70856541
Wasn't that part of a Dark Brotherhood mission in Skingrad from Oblivion or am I misunderstanding you, anon?
>>70856541
YOU were the killer in that sidequest, and yes, it was one of the few really good bits in Oblivion. Dark Brotherhood was generally done pretty well in Oblivion. It's the bright spot.

does it work?
>>70856547
In terms of the roles they play and their personality,
Lord Gregor- Eddard
Lady Elissa- Catelyn
Rodrik- Robb
Gared- Jon Snow
Ethan- Bran
Ryon- Rickon
Mira- Sansa
Talia and Asher- Arya
Maester Ortengryn- Maester Luwin
Ser Royland- Rodrik Cassel

What is in the North Grove, it is only Lord Gregor Bastards or is there something more ?
>>70856688
yep.
>>70856547
Are you joking?
The eldest daughter went to kings landing and ended up getting played by Lannisters and/or Tyrells, met some unlikely shabby character who offered her help, and even wrote a letter home asking her family to help the Lannistera because she was told to. Literally just Sansa.
The oldest son ends up having to take charge after his father is killed, advised by his mother in acts of war, and had to make a polo am marriage. Literally Robb.
There's the stable hand dude who goes to the fucking wall and then betrays the nights watch to fuck around with wildlings. At least he wasn't a bastard, but still.
The mom was Catelyn.
The castellean was Rodrik Cassell.
The antagonist family was just a smaller scale, more nearby version of the Lannisters.
If I'd played it in the past five months I'd probably remember more.

No
Having a similar job function in feudal society or role in the story doesn't make them an identical character. Gared's personality is not the same as Jon Snow's. Rodrick isn't anything like Robb, Asher isn't like any of the Starks, nor are Talia or Ethan. Ser Royland is totally different from Rodrick with the only similarity being that both are a man at arms for their liege.
>>70856680
I'm horribly optimistic that late 2016—mid 2017 is how soon Winds will come for us. Lots of signs are pointing that he's nearly finished, if not finished and just editing and doing rewrites.
It also takes a lot longer to write the penultimate chapter than the final chapter so I don't think the wait for A Dream of Spring will be that long, he probably has a better plan in mind for that than he did for Winds of Winter.

No, Mira has actually agency and tries to do things. Sansa just observes. Mira is also older and more mature. Like I said, similar roles in a story =/= similar character. The Forresters in terms of their personalities are nothing like the Starks.

>>70856765
he wrote his last book for 6 years, in may this year he said that he is "far from being finished but not like he has just started" if he said this after 5 years of expectations would be kind of long shot to expect him to wrap it up all in 6 months time period...
>>70856798
His deadline was for the New Year and he thought he could actually reach that. He failed, but that suggests that him finishing is only months away, not years away if he thought for a moment that he could get it done before 2016.

>>70856748
>just because these characters have the exact same roles and nearly the exact same story arcs, that doesn't make them the same
The game was trash. You're delusional. Mira is the MOST similar to the Stark counterpart than any of the other comparisons. She does the exact same things as Sansa, to the degree of a Chinese knock-off version of the second book
>>70856651
Gregor had bastards, he certainly wasn't as honorable as Eddard.
Elissa is Catelyn, agreed.
Rodrik is way more badass than Robb though. Would have made a better king too.
I guess Gared fits, but he's way dumber than Jon is.
The only thing Bran and Ethan have in common if that they both were younger brothers and had to rule at some point.
Ryon is Rickon, sure.
Mira actually tried to play, unlike Sansa.
Not gonna bother with Talia and Asher
Ortengryn was just a maester m8
Royland isn't like Cassel at all. The only thing they have in common is that they were both master at arms.
>>70856690
Wut? You fight some mercenaries in Essos ( who actually had purple eyes, which is a nice nod to the books ) and the pit fighters you hire get promply slaughtered when they arrive in Westeros.
The Forresters were doomed from the start m8, they were always outnumbered
>>70856690
Yes the lack of real choices having much effect in the end was bullshit but really anon, Essos? Those are trained pitfighter not recently freed boy whores and this is supposed to be a game.
Turns out clunky realistic fighting for 15 minutes with quicktime events isn't such amazing game play. Its not supposed to be Kingdom come.

>The game was trash.
I agree that in terms of its mechanics, it was shitty. Choices felt like they mattered even less than they did in The Walking Dead. No choices matter in the end, but the Walking Dead made it FEEL like they did.
Game of Thrones nullified the choices you made way too quickly. I also think it was a mistake to do a series that would have more than 1 season. It should have just had one season and the ending would depend on what choices you made; how many allies you got for Ironrath.
However, none of that means the characters were bad.

Hilarious.
What agency was there when she's talking to smarter people than her and being forced into deals? What agency is there when a random side character appears to offer her help?
Are you saying the fact that you as the player get to make meaningless choices gives a character "agency"?
Are you an idiot?

He'll probably just think of some more plot ideas and add another book to the series
>>70856984
Which makes me think, since if they were included in ADwD, the pacing would have all been wrong. Where would that twisted Aeron chapter have fitted?
>>70856938
Are you using the show as a basis of comparison? I can understand why you'd think they were good characters if your most immediate reference was season 5 of GoT.
But I couldn't understand how you could think any of that shit was good if you'd read the books. Or any book, really. Or even played other video games.
Like, shit son, the characters are just not good. It's like AU fanfiction written by a teenager.

>>70857013
fack off then
>>70857066
WHY
>>70856950
>What agency was there when she's talking to smarter people than her and being forced into deals?
She actually tried to manipulate people and turns events in her favor. She was even willing to use other people to take flak for her if it meant advancing her family.
Compare that to Sansa who just observes her entire time in Kings Landing. The only agency she ever shows, other than betraying her father, is when she tries to hide her period blood. Otherwise she just stands around.
>Are you saying the fact that you as the player get to make meaningless choices gives a character "agency"?
We are talking about the character here, not the game mechanics.
For comparison to the difference between Sansa and Mira; if we were playing as Sansa in this game all of our actions with her would involve picking what her internal thoughts and feelings are and that's it.
When playing as Mira though we have to actually try and DO things. Choose whether to lie or not, to sacrifice a friend/helper or not, to steal or not, to sacrifice our pride to save our lives or not.
>>70857048
Now that you said it, it does sound like a good epilogue for ADWD
>>70857074
well to be fair, apart from Theon, Mercy, and the Forsaken, all of the samples have been: literally nothing happens
>>70857018
>>70857066
>>70857082

>>70857074
Now its mostly to say hey look dnd did stupid shit but its different in the books. Trust me guys.
>>70857093
Epilogues are almost always fairly low key.
>>70857047

>>70856951
>they are dany chapters
>the chaptera end with her deciding to stay in meereen
>Stannis is confirmed dead
>>70857043
>Are you using the show as a basis of comparison? I can understand why you'd think they were good characters if your most immediate reference was season 5 of GoT.
The characters are fine. I didn't say they were amazing or complex, but they aren't literal clones. If you are now arguing that they're just bad in general, and giving up the argument that they are Stark clones, then you are moving the goal posts.
You've lost the argument, friend, just throw in the towel.
>>70857082
All the obvious reasons, build hype, convince people he's actually working on the book, also he released a Dorne chapter just after 'Unbowed Unbent Unbroken' so that was kind of to remind people of how different the Dorne plot is in the books.
>>70857058
Then why did he ask to join the Kingsguard as part of the Tyrell master plan?
Jaime only did it to spite his father and be close to his sister. I think it's far more likely they just forgot about it.
>>70857112
Did you not read the epilogues for Storm and Dance?
>>70857112
LSH reveal wasn't exactly low key hun
Every single part of Westeros seems irredeemably fucked right now. The faith are in King's Landing, the heir to the Reach is rotting in jail, The North is in Civil War, the Vale is dominated by a skeezy sket, the Freys have the Riverlands and the brotherhood without banners are doing nothing about that, Dorne is just a mess, the Stormlands have just been totally forgotten about, God only knows what's going on over there, and the ruler of the Westerlands is about to be killed off - literally how is it possible to right this? Does Danaerys come in and justifiably burn everyone to death? Is that how it ends?
>>70857090
>compare that to Sansa
I have been.
Mira is Sansa if Sansa had an extra choice or two during pivotal moments and things were a little more fair.
Other than SLIGHTLY different story beats (which are only different because of the medium), there's no difference.
>>70857114
That would be a different matter. It's like the reports of dragons in Essos, Tywin won't take it seriously because there's nothing concrete:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUEnMHXjuhI
>>70857128
Dorne is probably in a civil war right now, the paramount family died, so it would seem logical that the Yronwoods would try and seize power
why there are no spiders in GoT
>>70857128
Night King saves the day.
>>70857124
he didn't ask to be part of the KG in the show, but Tywin threatened it
>>70857116
I don't think you've read the books. Stannis has already been confirmed alive and Dany is in the Dothraki Sea and has decided to not "plant trees" (rule) and instead she's decided to be a conqueror again
>>70856129
It was in the books. It was just Roose instead of Tywin.
>>70857128
>KL burns down, most of the Tyrells die
>The North units under a new king in the north
>The Vale will follow the king in the north
>Walder Frey is gonna die soon

I mean they're just setting it up so Dany can take the kingdoms piece by piece

Mira is not naive like Sansa. She's braver than Sansa.
I guess Theon was just like Sansa too, only he got to use a bow.
>>70857144
They're different characters mate. Sansa would never even think of forging a letter to secure a good bethrothal in her family. Sansa would never dismantle an army of mercenary by making deals, Sansa wouldn't sacrifice her friends for her own gains.

What I don't get is that Grrm has been pretty clear that violence is not the answer etc and it seems impossible to solve this without violence
>>70857171
It wasn't anywhere near as good in the books. Tywin gets in a few real choice conversations with Arya about matters which expand his character.
Roose threatens to remove Arya's tongue if she talks out of turn.
spoilerfags, based on what you've read about episode 9, does it seem like it would be better than the piece of trash we got this week?
>>70857174
Joffrey turned out to be wiser in this instance.
>>70857117
Yeah, I guess that's why the game was super successful and hailed critically and I'm the only person who thinks its crap.
Oh, wait.
The Wolf Among Us, for example, had worse gaps between episodes, and worse technical issues, but it had better characters and story. And people recognize both aspects of that.
Then look at something like Until Dawn, where most of the characters and most of the story was cliche and uninspired, but the presentation was enough to make people work through it, and that game was also well reviewed. Not s telltale game, but it's the same genre.
Meanwhile, nobody liked the telltale GoT game. It's one of the bad ones. It's not secretly good. I'm sure I could force myself to tolerate it if I was a dumber person, but I'm not. Neither is anyone who reviewed it or talked about it anywhere (but here, apparently) on the Internet

Ramsay meeting Jon out in the field instead of letting him try to siege Winterfell? Eh, you could explain it by Ramsay being "le insane & random character xD"
Davos finding Shireen's toy in the pyre? Ridiculous, but hey, that's GoT for you.

What's your problem?
I never said the game was good. I even agreed that it handled choices poorly. The only thing I've defended is the accusation that all the characters are just Stark clones.
It's been demonstrated that they are not, but to avoid admitting you were wrong about this ultimately trivial thing you have instead tried to shift the discussion entirely.
I think the game got flack because the choices you made never had any pay-off and it felt like they had no influence on the plot. Choices were nullified way too quickly and it made it feel cheap.
That's just my opinion. I don't know what critics said.
