adiman83 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I don't know if I'm the only one that noticed, but I have a big problem with this game. Our choices don't matter. I played it several times and, no matter what choices I made, the outcome is always EXACTLY the same. If you choose to save the other squire or not to save him, or whether you tell the truth about the other squire or not, Gregor Forrester dies anyway. If choose to spare the Whitehill soldier, you still kill one of them and Gared gets sent to the wall anyway. Whether you choose to ask or not to ask Margaery for support, she doesn't help House Forrester. If you defy Cersei or play her game, she still doesn't like Mira. And the biggest one, if you choose to follow Ramsay's orders OR not, Ethan still gets stabbed and dies. I haven't yet tried different choices in episode 2, except the meeting with Ludd Whitehill, after Rodrick speaks to Elaena Glenmore and, no matter what you choose (kiss the ring or not) he still takes the ironwood. The game is fine but, if in the end our choices don't make any difference, why not make the whole thing an animated show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 The choices do make a difference... sometimes, and generally only eventually. There may not be immediate gratification for choices you make, but instead the preponderance of them will lead to diverging paths toward the end. It's worth noting that there's one clear change in this episode depending on how you approach things: You can end the episode with Rodrik betrothed to Elaena, or not betrothed.

And I certainly hope you're right about the choices making a difference towards the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiroVoid Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Unfortunately in Telltale games, choices can't really affect the way the general story goes since the resources aren't really there for that. It generally only affects dialogue, or say that you save someone, they'll usually either leave or die in the next episode or two. There is a bit more leniency in the last or second-last episode.

sj4iy Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 About the coal boy: You just run away and that's it. If it is any consolation, I thought that I had gotten him killed for sure, but since he showed up in the trailer for episode 3, maybe not. Maybe coal boy kills him somehow. Really wondering how that will turn out. The funeral song was problematic for me. On one hand, it was a really emotional scene and the melody itself was nice, but on the other I just couldn't get over the fact that she was basically standing in front of Bolton banner men singing about how bad Ramsay Bolton is :bang: If I don't get this family castamered, Thalia certainly will. They aren't in the grove, though- they are stationed in the courtyard. Private family ceremony. They also are bitter enemies, so it's not as if they would expect the Forresters to be happy about Ramsay killing their Lord. I didn't even know that that was an option until I came to this thread and saw people talking about it. I guess I must have misread something in there in the heat of the moment. Yeah, offering the Ironwood is one way to gain the betrothal. The other way is through forging the letter- you have to tell her she is free to choose.

Lord Carson Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I was just watching some of my favorite Youtubers play through the first episode and they talked about how Tyrion's plans get messed up later on and it got me thinking how interesting it would be if, instead of being questioned after the wedding, we were a witness at Tyrion's trial.

You think Episode 3 will release week of April 12th?No idea.I'd say it will be on the first week of the month, just like Epi. 2. Maybe Friday or Saturday...? It'd help in the promotion for the season, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Carson Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Tuesday is Telltale's favorite day. They usually release then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Bauer 24 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Just finished Episode 2. Loving this game so far! So with that tease for Episode 3 at the end...are we going to see Dragons? Dany? Will we see Stannis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Carson Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 The only way we would see Stannis would probably be at the Wall way at the end, if Gared is even part of the battle. I would say there's a 99.9% chance that whatever they run into in the cave next episode is Drogon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously. Look at TWAU's release schedule...it's completely erratic and unpredictable.

Well they said they want to release every 5 to 8 weeks and there was 8 weeks between Episodes 1 and 2. Episode 2 released February 3rd, so 8 weeks would out it at March 31st or April 7th. Right before Season 5. Would be perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even by the end, they were back on schedule. Telltale is definitely getting better at releasing on time, its just their communication with us that needs a lot of work.
