Well, I didn't like it because ramsay returned and will most likely fuck things up. Plus....where the fuck is elaena and arthur? And everybody!? However the rest of the chapters were 10/10
On the one hand, it's a terrible cliffhanger which doesn't tell us enough about what happened. On the other hand, it's suspense that will ke… moreep us coming back. There could've been more, but I didn't feel like there needed to be, either.
I think just the presence of Ramsay was enough to throw me off, especially after the latest episodes. It makes us live in fear and apprehension for the next month, cause frankly, the moment I heard Ramsay's laugh, I thought we were fucked. Now they know I'll come back, cause I wanna know how fucked I am.
well, welcome to the real world. You aren't an all-powerful protagonist who gets to win the day and beat Sauron in one fell swoop. This is Game of Thrones, not the Legend of Zelda. You'll be lucky if all your characters don't die. Slaying all your enemies is completely unlikely relative to this setting.
I don't understand people having issue with this, and I agree with OP. The Boltons are your masters. Turning on them would be like turning on the Starks when they were in power. it would be unrealistic to say the least.
Or, to put it another way - little fish, big pond.
Knowing from the start you can't beat the bad guy sucks. Yeah the bad guy doesn't always have to die but knowing from the start sucks. They'… moreve made the Boltons the biggest enemy for us and we know they're pretty much untouchable. They've done more wrong to us than the White Hills and pretty much all the White Hills have done has been ordered by the Boltons.
Hmm, everyone who seems to be against this ending seems to fall into one or more of these three camps:
Plot armour - fair enough, but that seems like meta gaming at its core. Your characters don't know Ramsey is basically immortal, but he might as well be. Are the Forresters supposed to turn on ALL the Boltons? These are the guys who control Winterfell, and with it, the North, and are giving Stannis a run for his money. STANNIS, who broke the back of the Wildling army with ease. Newsflash guys, it doesn't matter where in the timeline this is happening, you are a minor house, and you can't turn on the Boltons. You can barely stand up to the Whitehills. The Boltons would wipe you out as an afterthought if you ever posed a "threat" to them.
Laziness - the most credible of arguments against this ending, the Ramsey card has been played already and it is a little... meh, for going there again. I have mixed feelings about this, but I still liked the ending and didn't think it was lazy to bring Ramsey back into the story
Cliffhangers - do I... seriously? I'm not going to explain why this is a critical element of fiction, especially with episodic content like this.
I didn't hate it...but it was annoying. He's a giant eraser that can swoop down at any time and wipe all your progress in a blink of an eye. Telltale can literally screw you however and whenever they want with Ramsay cause "Sadists!". It's hard to see a successful way out if we destroy the Whitehills only to still be under the thumb of a bastard who shanks lords in their own castles for shits and giggles. Might be worse, actually, because we wouldn't be "amusing" to him anymore.

His hair is lighter, and his face in general just looks different.
That moment when he said "Rodrick" all excited and shit. Amazing...
At least Arthur is ok in my playthrough
Next month? Lol 2 months at the least (unlikely)

It gets me everytime!
My reaction:
Ramsay shouts Rodrik enthusiastically like a child- "No... everything was going so well
"

Maybe in a similar scene like 'Attack Ludd'
Everyone dies, game over. But at least you can see the look on his face.
Oh the things I'd do to see that happen...
LET ME DREAM DANG IT
Precisely my thoughts on it. The canon shield doesn't do much for immersion.
Just don't want you to get peoples hopes up
