In King’s Landing, Sansa – er, I mean, Mira’s story, was the least action driven of the episode but entertaining nonetheless. Plus, I was sort of hoping Croft wouldn’t survive the infiltration so how would Dany know?! Dammit, he does and she will (which could null the agreement). I was surprised to be in the minority of allowing her to kill her former master as we know Dany is going to do it anyway, so why not. The second part of Asher’s story consists of the action of infiltration and the decision to let Beskha have her vengeance. The action sequences and new location setting bring a freshness to the episode as well as Beskha’s backstory which proves more interesting (again, my opinion) than most of House Forresters. You strike a deal with The Dragon Queen detailing that if we can infiltrate Meereen for her sellswords to free the slaves, we can use them later to save House Forrester. She fears for the safety of her young dragon insisting he is only a child (“a child that can breathe fire!” – Beskha). I chose to show Drogon’s tooth which brought concern to our Khaleesi. She asks for proof that you’ve actually seen/interacted with Drogon (as she’s heard similar stories countless times) and you make your decision. I’ve read reviews where some found her “strangely hostile” but, it’s expected from The Mother of Dragons and her current situation. Great job, Telltale!) as she speaks with that fire that only a dragon can bring to her. We open to an exchange with Daenerys (and Viserion – who is wonderfully animated. Asher is a complimentary contrast to the series as he brings warmth (and dragons) to an already icy story. Onward to my personal favorite story (and playable character), Asher Forrester. Script async src="///pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"> The second part of Garred’s story finds another Wildling who in turn is Cotter’s sister and insists that The North Grove isn’t what we expect. I took the shot (and missed) and was left with the parallel of Ygritte/Jon Snow in my mind’s eye. Even when the Wilding girl stole the last of our supplies, I couldn’t bring myself to shoot her. The action scene itself was well choreographed but it felt like I was stabbing my beloved Ygritte over and over again. I’m not one for killing women myself, so this wasn’t exactly my cup o’ tea. I did, and a fight breaks out as Wildlings are not widely known for their diplomacy. So naturally, he’s interrogated and you have the choice to reveal yourself. Cotter says they’re his “people” and can be reasoned with. This brings us onto a pack of all female (all Ygritte clones, honestly – they even sound exactly like her!) Wildlings. You reflect on your new title as a “deserter” and hear the bells that signals the Night’s Watch knows you’ve gone. The three of you journey on to a wonderful scene in front of the Weirwood tree where you had previously said your vows. That being said, I was with the majority and I brought Finn with me. I will admit, it was a little disappointing that this was Garred’s “tough” decision to make because the choice was pretty clear going North of The Wall with just you and skinny little Cotter to find the mysterious “North Grove” and you probably wouldn’t get far. As the two of you are escaping, you run into your other Brother with dialogue: Finn, and here is where the first major decision of the game occurs. Luckily, (and, somewhat predictably) you don’t have your head removed but instead escape with the help of Wildling/Brother: Cotter. Which, in my episode, was kicking that bastard off the top of The Wall the highlight of Garred’s story, thus far (in my opinion). I told him flat out that Britt (the father-murdering, Bolton-serving fuck) deserved exactly what he got. Since there was no reasoning with him, I didn’t even bother wasting my options to kiss ass. It’s frustrating that no amount of reasoning or combination of options can dissuade Frostfinger from wanting to take your head, but hey – that’s Game of Thrones. The episode opens with Garred Tuttle facing the consequences for killing a brother at The Wall. *Warning: Full spoilers for the episode follow* This leads to a sense of predictability of what’s to come that only gets stronger in episode 4 “Sons of Winter.” Telltale’s Game of Thrones series follows Stark bannermen “The Forresters” (briefly mentioned in ASOIAF) throughout various settings and stories that have been previously critiqued for mirroring The Starks to a fault.
