![]() A lot of that is to do with the detestable Ludd and Gryff of House Whitehill. It’s one of the best arcs in the series, in fact. His journey is the best thing in this episode. With Ironrath in turmoil, Asher, in my case, is the real focus, here. The only surviving playable character that is approaching some form of happy resolution is Gared Tuttle, as he nears The North Grove. House Forrester has been rocked after losing Rodrik, or Asher (depending on your choice), and Mira is under threat in King’s Landing. True to form, Game of Thrones Episode 6: The Ice Dragon can be a gripping story, at times, whilst some arcs end on a whimper.Īfter episode 5’s crescendo, the stage was set for the series’ conclusion to be everything that we expect from the war over the Seven Kingdoms. The series has been so up-and-down to this point, it was difficult to predict whether the finalé would have the punch contained in the mammoth Hardbacks, or the much-celebrated HBO TV show. However, TellTale Games’ attempt at bringing A Song of Fire and Ice to this medium has left some with a sour taste in their mouths. Martin’s literary works, along with the TV show based on said writings, would be a cinch to adapt for a video game: the lore is vast and the world building is second-to-none. Right before the final credits roll, you’ll be treated to monologues provided by Ramsay Bolton, Margeary Tyrell, and Cersei Lannister in summation of House Forrester and while they speak, additional statistics regarding your in-game decisions compared with the decisions made by other players will flash on the screen, showing that everything you’ve done since Episode 1 mattered.You’d think that George R.R. The Ice Dragon will have its fair share of unfortunate outcomes, and they all happen because of something you made the Forresters do not only in A Nest of Vipers, but in the other episodes as well. Blood will inevitably be spilled in the north. One or more Forresters will die, and though that might be a spoiler to some, the fact of the matter is that they’re allies of House Stark. The dog-eat-dog nature of each house in the universe makes it impossible to be both honorable and in power. The main commonalities include the importance of the army Asher just recruited beyond the Great Sea versus ending the bloodshed in Ironrath while disgracing the Forrester name. The narrative for the war in Ironrath changes drastically depending on the selection you chose at the end of the last episode, and this results in the arc being radically different in the finale. ![]() So if you go into Game of Thrones thinking you really understand the political happenings in Westeros, unfavorable instances in this finale shouldn’t surprise you. Clementine isn’t part of the canon in The Walking Dead novel or TV show, and while the Forresters are hinted about in their source material, their stories aren’t actually told either. The similarities in these adaptations lie in the fact that these are both untold stories. That being said, playing Game of Thrones using methodology from previous Telltale entries will get you burned. For example, in The Walking Deadhad a bunch of moments where you had to choose to save one character from dying, while another meets his or her demise only to have the character you saved die later anyway. ![]() Without jumping to conclusions, one might assume that Game of Thrones marks the first Telltale game where decisions actually matter. What else is new?īack at Ironrath, the inevitable war between the Forresters and Whitehills is about to begin. Depending on the decision you made at the end of the previous episode, the events leading up the battle are drastically different, and nearly every choice made has major ramifications in the finale’s final minutes. Oh, an important character is getting arrested at King’s Landing. On top of this, there are rumors of Mira’s involvement with the murder of a Lannister guard resulting in legal issues in the kingdom jeopardizing Mira’s attempt to help her family back home. The problems are more political over at King’s Landing, when Mira Forrester is summoned to Margeary Tyrell for a conference with her and fellow handmaiden, Sera Durwell, that results in one of them being dismissed from their handmaiden duties. As strange as it was for him to pick fights with the undead, he finds it even stranger when he realizes the North Grove is as supernatural as it is hidden. While A Nest of Vipers ended with quite a tragic decision, The Ice Dragon mixes things up a bit by starting off with Gared Tuttle, who finally arrives at the North Grove after fending off a couple White Walkers. Telltale has done an admirable job of making its episodic Game of Thrones series feel like its HBO counterpart, and to further add authenticity to the experience, it takes no prisoners in its eventful season finale.
