Spare the whitehill soldier @Ep1, Pig Farm
Or should i kill him.
Though, this is telltale, and they may have a reason to why there's an option to spare him later on, maybe you run into him or, something. You know, you get the point.
But idk. What was your take on it? Did you spare him or no?

I killed him. He lied about having a family after murdering my family. Nice bloody try, but you don't deserve to live.
Spare him. He was just following orders. It's not personal.
I spared him. It seems to have no real impact, but I always consider it an important morality choice in terms of personal character development.
Killed him, he was laughing when they were killing pigs for fun, he deserved to die, poor pig.
I spared him but in retrospect, I should have killed him. Oh weeeell.
I dont think he was lying about having a family, why do you think that?
Stabbed him through the face, it was a fight to the death.
Killed him, im not gonna let a Whitehill bastard run away and do it again on us, im sure he was somewhere in the battle at Ironrath in ep6, I don't care if he was following orders, he got out there and killed my Gared's family.
He killed your family, and you let him live?
What a cuck.
Everyone always pulls that card after they murdered my family. And he's a Whitehill.
Still none of that means he doesnt have a family.
Killing an unarmed, law-abiding soldier is illegal. That would give the Whitehills the right to execute Garred.
One should definitely choose to show mercy to the Whitehill solder.
Then I did it because he's a Whitehill.
Pretty sure killing civilians is also illegal, which means that it's not a law abiding soldier you're killing.
Im sure Roose Bolton didn't say HEY GUYS I WANT YALL TO GO OUT AN KILL ME SOME PIG FARMERS..
He wanted to rule the north and also have the entire Norths backing to march on the south! you don't earn trust by killing folk.
But if you choose not to kill him its effing stupid because 70 seconds later Gareth says ' ILL KILL THE MEN WHO DID THIS ' and im like 'OMG GARETH YOU JUST HAD THE CHANCE '
It's more like 20 seconds later that Gared chooses to say this. xD
Yes, I think Telltale should have had that dialogue vary based on your choice, haha.
So as I continue to play through it (second playthrough)
I currently just finished Episode 3,
The choice I made to let the guy go, had a small line of text in the fight wit britt. I knocked the sword out of his hand, and held him at sword point, and he said something along the lines "At least let me have my sword like you let the soldier go" or something. Anyways, onto episode 4.
Where's it mentionned it's illegal?
Also if Roose sent Britt to the Wall, it's for a reason.
By the words of Ramsay Snow:
His RIGHT?! He killed a loyal soldier in my father's army!
As far as I am concerned, it is never mentioned explicitly that murder is illegal (GRRM probably thinks the readers will understand that by themselves), but it is mentioned that murderers are among those who are forced to "take the black".
I do believe that Roose sent Britt to the wall for the same reason he sent Lock to the wall: To join the first party that ventures beyond it (Jon and the others who are heading for Craster's keep) and find and kill Brandon Stark.
I dont think its really a matter of whether its legal or not. Westeroes has laws but lords enforce them kind of erratically.
It's not just about what Roose said. If Britt, who most likely commanded those three, gave the order, the soldier had to obey.
"Killing an unarmed soldier is illegal". I ask where it's illegal, don't take me for a fool asking if murder is illegal in got. :P
Ramsay will say it's a crime(to kill a man who attacked your family) because he won't admit Bolton's men attacked farmers,
Killers are not forced to take the black, it's their choices.
Britt didn't arrive with Locke, Locke was sent alone. Britt also complains about being forced to take the black while trying to engage a fight with Gared, there would be no point to mention it if he was on secret mission.
"A peaceful land and quiet people", that always has been the motto of Roose and banishing him seems the thing he would do.
Ramsay never tried to hide that the soldiers killed Garred's family. They could easily get away with it. Duncan mentioned that the Boltons could say they were "keeping the king's peace" and Ludd and Ramsay seems to believe that killing farmers is nothing compared to killing "loyal soldiers".
Yes, there are killers who are forced to take the black. Garred is an example, so is Yoren.
How do you know that? Lock and Britt arrived at Castle Black off screen. And even if they didn't arrive at the exact same time, they could still have been given the same mission.
When they first meet in the courtyard at Castle Black, Britt says to Garred:
If it isn't the fuckin' pig farmer. I'm here 'cause of you. Got sent to the Wall for that little party I did with your family. Don't think it's over.
Lock lied to Jon about how he got sent to the Wall, and so could Britt.
Roose only sent Locke in the series. So it's out of subject.
Ramsay doesn't bother about it because he rules; law still don't let that happen. What he says isn't law.
You don't know that. He could have sent more men off-screen.
Roose made Ramsay acting Lord of the Dreadfort and gave him the full authority of the warden of the north, so what he says is indeed law, though the law is unfair. As Duncan said, the Boltons are allowed to use very drastic measures in the name of the king's peace.
