But you can't do anything with it because apparently the writers have never had two averagely intelligent people sit down and try to communicate with each other while keeping an eavesdropper unaware as to the real content of that communication. Mira's entire plot line, so far as I could tell, was all about learning about court intrigue. It's nonsensical if you took him with you. Then maybe he was just an idiot and you're better off without him. It's slightly better if you leave him behind and that happens. I do mind that his death makes no sense whichever way you play it. I didn't care personally about Arthur one way or the other. I have no desire to replay Game of Thrones. I still actually get upset when replaying that game, and I've replayed it 9 times so far. It wasn't a stupid death for either character there, it was a soldier's death. In terms of dramatic tension, the choice between companions in Mass Effect is better implemented and upset me, but for all the right reasons. My actual choice which I made just the scene before, was to NOT walk into the ambush in the first place. At that point I wanted to break my computer not because I was being asked to choose between them, but because I was angry and frustrated that the choice had been so badly forced. I liked them reasonably well up to that point. It would be nice if they didn't die stupidly. I don't care if Rodrick or Asher has to die for plot reasons. And you still get accused of murder even if you've done an exemplary job at the Watch and even though they're short of good men. Because the first time playing the game I looked for some way to refuse that judge of wine because I knew Tyrion would know Cersei had sent me if I carried it in.Ħ) Gerard can fight his attacker at the Wall completely defensively, asking him to stop the entire time, but he still dies and falls off the wall. Which is something she could totally do by using her eyes and head.ĥ) You have no option to leave the wine behind when going to talk to Tyrion if you want to play it straight with Cersei. She has no option to give him non-verbal cues to indicate that they're being listened to and this is a set up. Did I just black out for an hour while people moved around me?Ĥ) Mira goes to talk to Tyrion. I'm apparently an idiot and an incompetent. Somehow when I get back, the Bastard has killed them all in a period of 5 minutes and is torturing Arthur in front of me even though he was behind me. My soldiers are idiots.ģ) I choose to take the archers with me to Ludd's. Somehow the Bastard got in anyway and murdered them. Asher makes a comment indicating he feels the situation is not good either.Ģ) I left the Branfield archers to guard my keep and took the traitor with me to visit with Ludd. I wanted both Asher and Rodrick dead at that point for being idiots. Roderik's story picks up with him walking blindly into the ambush anyway. Knowing this, I pick a dialogue option that I hope will lead to me preparing for dealing with this by doing something else. Eventually, this is what Game of Thrones is about.ġ) I spared the traitor who told me that there was an ambush going to pick up Asher. Most of the people just can't accept, that some very likeable characters can't be saved, and there are battles which can't be won, no matter how hard you try. Sure, the characters made some mistakes, but that doesn't make them "stupid morons". Originally posted by Matt:I just don't agree with you.

This is not a fairy tale, where the good guys win, because they are the good guys. The only realistic outcome was losing the battle. Well of course, you can't because the Forresters lost their power at the Freys, and they didn't have any allies. A lot of people didn't like that you can't win the last battle.
