What was your strategy at the end of Episode 6?
Mine was:
- Chose Ser Royland as your Sentinel for his passion.
- Ambushed Ludd's family to try to end the war.
- Helped Cotter end his suffering.
- Kept your integrity but lost Margaery's favor.
- Stood up to Gryff regardless of consequence.

I always ends up with Cunning Strategy
I realized we couldn't actually beat the enemy army and even if we killed ludd and gryff, they'd still probably tear down the gate and loot Ironrath anyway, so I went with actually trying to make peace with Gwyn's help. Which, somewhat ironically, seems to be the course of action which harms House Whitehill the most. You kill Gryff, Gwyn abandons her family to side with House forrester and you kill just as many enemy soldiers. So you kill ludd's son, run off with his daughter and escape from right under his army's nose. They'll probably write a bloody ballad about Asher for that
I got the Cunning Strategy.
Well that's cool, but what strategy did you get at the end of Episode 6?
Instinct and Nobility.
Is that Jack Nicholson?
Unwavering I forgot the last part
Conviction
Amen to that, Asher
Red choice usually means doing the right thing.
Blue choice usually means doing the smart thing.
Too much red? You're a noble martyr and House Forrester is in danger
Too much blue and you're no better than a Whitehill. Your house will probably survive but at what cost? You put the House and power first, family second. For example interfering in other people's business in a rather illegitimate way like stopping beskha or not saving Ryon as Rodrik knowing he will die (thiking he will) are asshole things to do (no offense). I'd rather lose Ironrath than Talia or Ryon, and I'd rather be a brother than a lord.
Does anyone know what those stats and colours mean though?
To answer the topic here's mine:
Butchered Cotter, Lied to Margaery, Killed Ludd at his camp, Chose Duncan, Let her kill the slave master
Unwavering conviction (4 out of 5 blue)
I think @Lord_Rodrik_Forrester already explained what they mean
Oh sorry I couldn't recall my choises so I had to look them up while typing. His answer wasn't there then.
Look at the comment above your original one
Thanks for the explanation! (And for making me somewhat feel bad)
I know, it appeared when I refreshed.
making you feel bad wasn't my intent. Sorry about that man. It's just my interpretation, it's not like my words are necessarily pure Truth. Take it easy
It's just a game, Ryon :P
Nice explanation. I once made a thread where I talked about the Fierce Passion and Unwavering Conviction. I mentioned how Red choices always seems to be earning friendship and loyalty among family and friends at the risk of instability and ruin.
While the blue choices are ensuring the House's remains intact at the cost of losing your friends and family as well as your honor.
In defense of House Forrester you:
Butchered cotter. a blue choice
*Allowing beskha to make Dezor bleed to death was the right thing to do. Yet apparently at least not the smart one. Red choice.
*With 4/5 Blue, you must have an Unwavering Conviction I think. Or at the very least Cunning Strat like me.
Unwavering Conviction. And I let Beskha kill him because I was planning to tell the dragon queen about her past (which I did). You could say I'm all blue :P
I was kidding. Actually I never change my decisions in Telltale games. I regret some but usually embrace them all so it's no problem
Thx man
Glad you're fine
About not changing decisions, I remember changing my decision about which brother shall survive, because I choose Asher stays behind when I though clicking him means Asher runs away. So I got a Rodrik ending and I hated it. So because of my gameplay misunderstanding I allowed myself to change that save of mine. Then my PC died and I had to restart all over so my new canon save is no cheat yet it's a bit different from the original. I'm just sayin maybe you could be more flexible. Technology force me to be more flexible 
You apparently remember Elissa's words "You let Nothing stand in your way, you hear me? If you have to murder every single Whitehill down to the babes in their beds, you must do it. War often requires from a man more than he is ready to give. You must be ready. Promise me!". Haha
Dude you're pretty ruthless. The Whitehills better Watch their butts coz you seem pretty determined to kick some ass 
lol. So your Rodrik and Mira surived, right? because mine didn't 
Truth be told I replied her with "I'll kill anyone who stands in my way. I'll do whatever it takes."
Even Cercei called me ruthless in special stats and Ramsay was proud of me 
Well my Mira died and Rodrik survived. But Tom was no deciding factor as you might have guessed, I just didn't want Mira to be a slave.
Well, it's not cheating if you accidentally did something and changed it (though I remember glassing someone by mistake and not changing it in another game
)
Yup, concerning Mira, Morgryn's disgusting "highborn female reproductor plan" also made me pretty sick. But I also thought about the thing that saving one innocent by sacrificing another is no good. Particularly considering Mira's alive thanks to her savior, the little coalboy Tom. So 4 me actually Tom was sort of a more decisive factor, but, not by much more decisive. Concerning Ramsay I'm proud of his hounds. They took their time while devouring him.
The moment he said "It's befitting our betrothal is beginning in a cell" I decided to let Mira die with dignity
Tom was not doing it out of the kindness of his heart, he was forced by his employer. Him always popping up near Mira at convenient times and me not knowing what he wanted made him really hard to trust, throughout the game I was expecting him to stab me in the back. So I was unable to feel any gratitude towards him.
It only recently occurred to me that he was Queen of Thorns' spy to keep Mira and by extension her granddaughter out of trouble (I wasn't familiar with the show when I played the game for the first time).
His last moments were beautiful though. The dialogue about even the most loyal beast being "fed up" with their masters when not treated properly and Sansa's smirk was quite nice.
Wow you're pretty suspicious of others lol. Although in King's landing not being suspicious would be foolish. But when he saves Mira it's kind of hard for me to stay cold to him. And he ends up being truthful and trustworthy.
I knew I didn't have the men to go head on with Whitehill so I:
Chose Duncan as Sentinel
Ambushed Ludd's family to end the war
Sacrificed Cotter to protect the North Grove
Kept my integrity but lost Margery's favor (chose to marry Morgryn)
Submitted to Gryff
Sacrificed Asher to save Rodrick
Got cunning strategy
Picked Ser Royland as my sentinel- I dunno, I just thought that the fact that he was more of a hard-ass than Duncan would have helped. Plus I liked the cut of his jib.
I killed Ludd as Rodrik- I just figured it'd be more logical to kill the more competent leader, since Gryff is kind of a dipshit.
I used Cotter's blood for blood magic I figured I'd make his death useful at least, since I liked his character
Kept my integrity but lost Margery's favor
First time, stood up to Gryff, second time I submitted I mean, come on. I know it's dumb if you don't submit, but if you stand up to him its so fucking cool. That scene had so much heart. "You gonna be a good cripple...and stay down?" FUCK NO I'm not!
Instinct and Nobility is what I got I'm pretty sure
Chose Duncan as Sentinel. Royland is great, but Duncan was the best friend of Gregor, completely trustworthy, also, althought I like Royland, the man is suicidal. Duncan performs some nice moves when it comes to strategy.
I killed Ludd as Rodrik. Ludd was way more dangerous and competent than Gryff, so I get rid of him.
I used Cotter's blood for blood magic. As Gared, I seek power and good fights. He was dying either way, so I gave his death some meaning.
I lied in order to keep Margaery's favor. That was an obvious one, "Lady" Flowers is the one to blame here, she trusted me.
I stood up to Gryff. I could not afford to look even MORE weak at the time, also, it was Rodrik The Unbreakable we were playing with.
I got Uwavering Conviction and I am good with that.
In the Defense of House Forrester you...
Elected Duncan Tuttle as your Sentinel for his diplomacy.
Abandoned your strategy to align with Gwyn Whitehill.
Helped Cotter end his suffering.
Kept your integrity but lost Margaery's favor.
Submitted to Gryff for the sake of peace.
