I just played through again and stood up to Gryff, and the scenes that follow are probably my favorite in the entire game so far. It was so … morewell directed and acted out. You can tell the Whitehill soldiers lost some respect for Gryff, if they even had any for him at all, since he's the lowest of the low, being a fourthborn son.
Well you get knocked down like 4 times, each time giving you the option to lay down or get back up. In the end you get hit a bunch, but you make Gryff look like a stupid idiot, who is too scared to really do anything
Like Poogers555 has said, it makes Gryff look really weak and childish. He practically starts whining, going so far as to draw his sword on a defenseless, already-injured man (you) and pretty much says "You will fear me! I'M IN CHARGE!" It's very amusing and so well done. And the more you get up, the more the Whitehill soldiers start to make comments about how Gryff should just stop.
Here's a link to a video that shows what happens when you stand up to Gryff:
Anyone have access to the choices on the Telltale website yet?
I figure they wouldn't work for me anyway, but I want to do a complete opposite playthrough.
I can't even access the 'Episode 3' section yet. For a weird reason, the website shows my (original) choices for Episode 1, however not for Episode 2 and I guess won't work for Episode 3 either. If someone has access to it, could he kindly post them?
I saved Beshka ( She was kind of facing a dragon)
I obeyed Margery (Even though she is being a total bitch, I would be of no help if I got sent back home)
I kicked Britt off the wall (Seemed the most badass one to be totally honest)
I stayed down when it came to Gryff (I didn't want him to take it out on Talia, and I wanted to make him feel like he's won)
I burnt the decree (It would just get me in more trouble, Margery would be pissed, I would probably have attention drawn to me and probably be accused of killing both the guard and Joeffry, and even though that deal seemed sweet, I suspect it was that lord who had sent people to kill me... aka the person the Whitehills have been sending money to in Kings Landing)
Saved Malcolm (I thought that if I didn't help Malcolm he would've gotten killed, since he was already wounded. I thought Beshka would run away fast enough to not get burned, but I was wrong. I feel uneasy about that choice, though)
Defied Margaery and spoke to Tyrion (Tyrion's Ironwood deal was a lot more important to me than Margaery's favor)
Made Britt Suffer (The guy had it coming. No regrets whatsoever)
Submitted to Gryff (As much as I wanted to get back up, I thought that if I did Gryff would've killed either Talia or Duncan. I don't know if I avoided bloodshed there, or if I looked like Gryff's bitch)
Burned the Ironwood Decree (Even though the Ironwood deal was important, with Tyrion locked up he can't do anything to help Mira, but the Merchant can)

What exactly happens if you stand up to Gryff?

I Saved Beshka
I talked with Tyrion
I pulled Britt off the Wall
I submitted to Gryff
I kept the Ironwood Decree
What happens if you remain silent?
He just falls over and dies
Saved Malcolm. He'd been stabbed and was getting overwhelmed by soldiers, so I thought he needed help more than Beskha did.
Talked with Tyrion. Stayed with Maegaery at first, then decided that was pointless as she wasn't going to show gratitude anyway and re-loaded.
Walked away from Britt. Thought it would spare him, but he dies anyway--odd as I didn't inflict any major wounds on him.
Stood up to Gryff. Surprised more people didn't do this as it's arguably one of the best moments in the series so far.
Kept the Ironwood Decree. Too valuable to get rid of.
Same for me, sadly. Except it doesn't show me the choices for Episode 2.
Also, the Telltale account choices are now up:
I can't believe it! Only 11% made suffer for Britt.What did other do? Kissed Bitt?
An important question,How Tom survived if you ran for your life?
yeah, it's pretty much the same like "walking away". But Gared stands there and watches while the arsehole dies. pretty badass moment.
Exactly the same choices as me.

Dang it
Also:
You're a lifesaver. It worked :^)
Saved Malcolm
Avoided Tyrion
Kicked him off the Wall
Did not submit
Did not burn the Decree
Saved Malcolm
Obeyed Margaery
Left Britt
Stood up to Gryff
Kept the Decree
I saved Beshka, obeyed Margaery, walked away from Britt, Stood up to Gryff, and burned the decree.
Looks like walking away is the best option, just like Andy St. John, from the Walking Dead
Saved malcolm
Defied Margaery and spoke to Tyrion
Walked away from Britt
I submitted to Gryff
burned the Ironwood Decree
