Asher Forrester, a sellsword in Essos, continues to try and break free from his cheeky roguish nature in order to lead an army to save his house. Such growth occurs throughout for each of the main characters.
It is also rewarding to watch Mira grow as a character, from a feeble handmaiden to someone becoming familiar with the game of politics. Unable to trust anyone, she (and the player) have to choose their alliances wisely, and it’s certainly challenging trying to wade through the backhand compliments, veiled insults and logical traps. Mira Forrester, handmaiden to Margaery Tyrell, is new in the ways and subtleties of Westeros’ capital. No more is this exemplified than in the scenes taking place at King’s Landing. Of course silence is always an option (and can often be for the best), yet few will remember that when pressed by the story’s varied and colourful characters. An ever-present timer ticks down, too, adding to the pressure the player feels as they weigh up their answers. At times I found myself wishing that some of them had made an appearance in the series or books, given how complex their backgrounds and interesting their motivations.Īgain every dialogue choice - small or large - can affect how the game plays out. So well-crafted is the story that you’ll forget that nearly all of these characters were created purely for the game. The writing team behind Episode 3, and indeed the others that preceded it, have once again proven their talent. There are traitors, disguised wildlings and unlikely allies abound. Throughout the episode plotlines thicken as characters begin to explore their backstories and reveal more to the player. Almost instantly the player is thrown into one of Telltale’s famous “him or her” key decisions on who to save. The story in Episode 3 is by now starting to up the ante. The Forresters are certainly scattered throughout the world, yet at no time does one character feel separate from the others – each storyline weaves through the other in many (sometimes beautifully subtle) ways. Each is lovingly recreated to match the look and feel of the television show and the imagination of book readers. In this episode you’ll swing across various locations throughout Westeros and Essos: from the freezing wastes beyond The Wall to the baking sands of Meereen. Those two hours flew past me, though, immersed as I was. I explored everything, looked at every character and examined every object and the episode still only pushed past two hours total playtime. Telltale have done well to pack in as many locations, sequences and set pieces as they have into what is essentially a game that lasts only an hour and a half.

Yet even those unfamiliar with either the books or TV series will find themselves drawn in by the clever writing and dialogue, a theme that has persisted throughout this series so far.
Victim’s at the Twins along with Robb Stark’s army, the Forresters have been struck with multiple blows so far in the series and are looking to recover from them.īy this point in the tale I (an avid Game of Thrones and Song of Ice and Fire fan) am hooked on every word and every action. The central family in the Telltale’s A Game of Thrones are the Forresters who have already seen their fair share of tragedy and heartache. Martin and his HBO cohorts in a competition for who can pour the most misery upon their characters. One wonders while playing the latest episode if the creators are vying with George R.
Perhaps, in the case of Episode 3 and its take on the phenomenally popular Game of Thrones franchise, they’re cutting very close to the bone. You can never accuse the writers at Telltale Studios of not knowing their source material. Reviews // 26th Mar 2015 - 7 years ago // By Alex Hamilton Telltale's Game of Thrones Episode 3 Review
