I felt like I was cheating a bit, for knowing the books/show inside out.
I've read all the books and watched the shows 7 times now so I feel i have a pretty good grasp on all the lore and character behaviors...
And during the scene with Cersei, it was so easy to say/do the exact right thing to get her approval because I know that character really well by now. Same with Tyrion, I mean I would imagine for someone who knows nothing about the show or books would look at Tyrion and think "okay hes a bad guy cause hes sitting next to the evil queen" but otherwise i feel like i can predict exactly how i would play them.
As for Ramsay/Ethan scene, it was shocking Ethan died but I was already expecting an unexpected crazy behavior from Ramsay.
it was still fun as hell, but i just couldnt help but feel like i cheated a bit... I suppose later on, as other more mysterious characters like Baelish and Varys appear, it would be near impossible to predict their reactions.
Anyways, any other major fans felt this?

Maybe but to be honest i think id be confused not reading the books
I'm a big fan, but I didn't feel cheated at all.
no, not cheated.
but you the player cheating for knowing how a character would respond.
I know Ramsey and Cersei from books, but it doesn't mean I could predict all of their actions. Like I can have a feeling what they would do, however I never would be 100% sure. So I don't feel cheated or cheating. :>
Book!Cersei and Show!Cersei are different. If someone had openly refused to pledge allegiance to the King in her presence in the books, she would have reacted much more harshly than she did here.
I did find it really odd that Mira can talk so casually to Tyrion about lying to his sister. Why wouldn't she keep up her facade around him?
I know that he wouldn't betray her to the queen, but I don't see why she would think that.
Maybe it's just me, but I think most people in King's Landing know that Tyrion and Cersei despise each other so maybe that's why she feels more free to talk about her.
But Tyrion still serves under the king. Why swear your loyalty to Joffrey and the Lannisters just so you can turn around and say that you were being dishonest?
Book Tyrion would also unlikely have been in that room at all.
To be fair, it's less cheating than it might be since the game presumes you've watched the show and both Mira as well as the Foresters would know both Cersei as well as Ramsay.
