Look, I know Telltale’s Game of Thrones wasn’t long for this world and can’t be developed now even if the original creators wanted it to be. Mira Forrester could have absolutely ruined the Lannisters and I’m so upset she never got to meet a Stark. It’s a desperate story of fear and loss, but also one that depicts real empowerment and ruthlessness. Despite the Forresters only being a vague offhand mention in the books, this particular Forrester is one of the strongest characters to ever come from the entire A Song of Ice and Fire universe. While her brothers in Ironrath fumble over who’s supposed to be the next lord, Mira is off in King’s Landing executing political subterfuge as if she’s been nicked straight out of A Clash of Kings. I mean, I haven’t even mentioned Mira yet, the absolute best character in the whole game. They were a small legion of untrained idiots who’d fall on their own swords sooner than swing them. If you’ve read the books, you’ll know what I’m on about - the Sons of the Harpy weren’t some kind of super organized rebel militia.
Barristan Selmy, the one guy feared by both Ned Stark and Jaime Lannister - let’s have him wrecked by a dozen lads who are holding a dagger for the first time in their lives. That’s before we even mention that season six had to do a whole lot of heavy lifting to redeem the atrocious season five, where still-alive-in-the-books Ser Barristan Selmy was killed off by a bunch of thugs so Grey Worm and Missandei could have their shite romance nobody cared about. I love this series, this universe - but in the absence of The Winds of Winter, Telltale’s adaptation of its world was far superior to HBO post-season six. I’ve got an edition of A Feast for Crows in the most gorgeous red slipcase you’ll ever see, and I’ve seen The Mountain and the Viper about 500 times. It wasn’t so much a “tune in next week!” as it was, like… “Well, that was shit - do I want to know what happens next?” Of course you do. That last episode cliffhanger after leaving one of the two eldest Forrester brothers to die was delivered with real elegance. Asher Forrester’s return to Ironrath wasn’t greeted by a parade of jesters and trumpeteers - it was solemn, bleak, and ultimately bittersweet. Ramsay killing Ethan wasn’t some sort of gory bloodfest so much as it was pure, quiet villainy. When Telltale wrote Game of Thrones, it took influence from these single standout moments - not the biggest battles or the wildest drama, but the evocative, slow-burning stuff. The characters include Lord Gregor Forrester (the head of House Forrester), Lady Elissa Forrester (the matriarch), and Rodrik Forrester (the first-born son) among others.Okay, I’m back. The decisions made by one character will affect others as well as the fate of the house. You will control one out of the 5 members of the family or servants of the Forresters. The family is caught up in the events surrounding the War of the Five Kings, and now they’re fighting to survive the chaos. They control the Ironwood forest, a valuable forest that’s also being coveted by many due to its military importance. The family hails from Ironrath located in the north of Westeros. While the family has not been introduced to the television series, they were briefly mentioned in the novel A Dance with Dragons. The story takes place from the end of the third season until prior to the start of the fifth season in the television series, and focuses on House Forrester. The game follows an episodic format, which means the game will be released per episode, and player’s choices all throughout the game influences later events.
Martin and the HBO adaptation, Game of Thrones. The story is based on the world-famous fantasy novels by George R. Game of Thrones – A Telltale Games Series is a six-part episodic adventure game developed and published by Telltale Games.
