What went wrong with season 1
I love this game but i have to say i only have one problem with it:
you only get one side of the story meaning you only get to play as the forresters while in the series and books you get to known each side of the story which is why i think a whitehill POV would have been a good idea (and i definitely think its a must have when season 2 comes out :P))

Well book 1 of game of thrones more or less just follows the starks, you do get dany, tyrion etc but they are more to see other locations. The books only begin to branch into the antagonists from book 3 onwards.
I do hope we get a whitehill and maybe some other character also. Though theyd both have to be new characters I think
still atleast in book 1 we had tyrion ... while with the game we got none of that just the side of the forresters.
I think the game depended too heavily on the characters on the show. Sure a have a cameo here and their, but game used the show characters way too much I think, and it didn't help the story.
what do the shown characters have to do with this? what i meant was a whitehill POV would have been a good thing because only knowing the forrester s side of the story doesnt give you that much to think . and in game of thrones there s no good or evil everyone s neutral so having only forrester s pov ruins that.
I read the title 'What went wrong with season 1'. I was giving my thoughts on that aswell.
Except maybe Joffrey and Ramsay there are no such things as antagonists, I don't see who you see as antagonists.
How do you have a story without them? It would have been weird if they would have been only cameo; playing a minor house doesn't mean you can go full power on the plot; removing the characters of the show would have been weird.
Antagonist simply means a character that actively works against the protagonist, it doesn't have to be some all evil being.
My point was there are no such things as protagonists/antagonists in books. Except White Walkers and the two quoted up there as antagonists in front of the others characters, but that's all.
You have to remember that this is a totally different medium compared to the books and the Tv show. Just because it works in the books and TV, it doesn't necessarily mean it will work in game.
I personally think it will be really weird to suddenly switch to a Whitehill POV character that is suppose to be an enemy after having played a Forrester POV character. I personally prefer that Telltale sticks the playable characters to those who are members, allies or associates of House Forrester. Besides, focusing on one family makes me care more about them, then having to constantly switch between two different and opposites families.
Not so much removing them but make them a bit less involved, Mira talking to tyrion so much felt a bit bizzare. Why was he so bothered about her? Dany and Jon kind of felt involved for the sake of it, it was good to see them though
Cersei and Margery made perfect sense though , Mira was one of her handmaidens so of course both will be interested in her but not enough to ever actually help her unless it helped them more
Well, you are right, there are no protagonists and antagonists in the big scale of things in ASOIAF, the way there are in LOTR for example. But at the same time every PoV is the protagonist in their own story arc. Also that same character can be the antagonist in another character's story arc. Example of this kind of situation could be Cersei.
Oh right, I didn't see that from this POV.
Yeah,you're right; Tyrion didn't shocked me that much though; he has interests in people like Bran/Jon for examples, so he can act toward people feeling grief (mira lost his family), while doing the ironwood contract is useful for him.
Dany who gave easily ton of golds for two sellswords and Jon being so friendly toward a recruit were kind of odds. I think you still have to get them ig, so that the story of the game hasn't that much impact on the story of the universe.
oh ok sorry.
it worked so well everibody wants to rape and dismember gwyn even thought she s very neutral . why? because she also cares about her family and doesnt just love the forresters and wants to kill her own family
Gwyns well written, being well written doesnt make someone likeable. I hate her even if I understand her actions
sorry if i insulted you but one of the points of game of thrones is that: there is no good and no evil every character is not fully evil and not fully good ((with the exception of joffrey and ramsay snown))
I am just giving my opinion on the matter. I may be totally wrong about it and it could work really well in games.
I am just saying that there is a difference between watching and playing a character. And as I said, it might or might not work using this type of playing in games.
Agreed.
About Dany easily giving Asher a chest of gold, I think helping her conquering a city and putting his life on line is worth at least a chest of gold.
"Helping her conquering a city". I got it but they only did a "regular" work of sellswords. I think we're doing in game the same as Greyworm and co did in the series, and they didn't get any chest of gold as far as I remember.
If she pays every soldier a chest of gold no doubt she will have soon the debts of Robert Baratheon. :')
I completely agree. By all means humanise the Whitehills but playing as both Houses would just confuse the story.
i think there should be a whitehill POV because we only see the side of when they confront the forresters so the best insight of good that the game gives about the whitehills is: gwyn is neutral and will stab you if you betray her trust by killing her father/brother on purpose but if they manage to humanize them without a POV then i would by all means trown the POV idea out of the window lol.
Episodes 5 and 6 disappointed me a little when I first played it, but other than that, it was fine.
I think there should be a Whitehill POV. Maybe one of the other kids in the Whitehill family. Of course that would be difficult to have to talk to the Whitehills as if they're family when they just slaughtered another main characters, so maybe have an inside disagreement sort of thing?
It'd be cool to talk shit to Gryffs/Ludds face without too negative consequences.
i hope that it does happen this way because then it would be a bit forced and make you be all nice to them even if you dont want to which would take out the choice in the game.
I think what went wrong was that there was probably more story they wanted to tell but couldn't get down in time. They did what they could and it worked but I can't help feeling some of the middle episodes, especially episode 5 (not really a middle episode I guess) probably were re-written and shortened for production sake.
Got isn't a huge focused story, but it still has a focus in every episode (or at least the books) and it didn't feel to focused after the first episode. Still liked it and still gonna play season 2
