Kind of surprised no one's talking about this as episode 5 had a fantastic ending. I'm not 100% sure about what the major choices are in this episode since I've just marathoned episodes 1-5 and they've kind of blurred together.
Yeah, I'm not sure if people in this community aren't that interested in the game or if most of the mare waiting for all of it to be out to marathon it or what but discussion hit a lull after episode one for whatever reason.
Oh and yeah, the traitor can be either Royland or Duncan, I think it depends on who you give the bracer too in EP1 but it might differ a bit more, not sure.
Oofa doofa, that ending. I had Asher stay behind and the goodbye at the gate between him and Beskha was rough. The whole ending was probably the best moment of the series so far. I knew Asher was the right choice because the house couldn't afford to lose its lord but he was also,by far, my favorite character so it was a heartbreaker to see him go. At least, I got a kill a bunch of the fuckers before I went out.
I'm with you on that being the best moment so far, and by best I mean worst, and by worst I mean "OH GOD DON'T MAKE ME CHOOSE WHYYYY." That was suck a strong moment, uhg.
- I didn't try to stab Ramsey through his plus 100 plot armor. I think Telltale is doing such a good job making him be a creep, better then the show in my opinion but I hate his state of invincibility. The stuff back at Kings Landing isn't so bad because it's all just head games and politics and it fits that you wouldn't go around stabbing the Queen or anything but Ramsey is a tad annoying to have come in and fuck with you and you literally can not do anything about it ever.
- Spared Bloodsong, I know in the GOT universe it can be do or die, but the guy is a good fighter, and my Asher is a good guy, goodish, good enough. So I wanted more people on my side through life instead of death.
- I told Tyrion part way though that she sent me, I kind of regret it, he's not in a place of power really, but maybe he has a friend or two on the outside who can help me, I still think it might have been better to go with the Queen, but, I mean, c'mon, he's Tyrion, he's the best, so we'll see how things turn out, I have like no friends left for poor Mira besides the kid.
- Killed traitor (Royland) I had to think about it for a little while but I promised the sister I would, not that it is exactly the best reason to kill the guy, but his betrayer put everything and everyone at risk soooo fuck it.
- Left Asher behind like the both of you. Everything that's gone on in the game so far has been about protecting the family on that side of the world, Asher was sooooo much fun to play as, but the other brother just felt more official, like he needed to survive to hold the glue of the family together. But damn that was a hard one, I don't normally make two saves for Telltale games but I'll have to make an Asher run at some point.
Also there are two plot holes in this episode that seem out of place, or maybe plot holes isn't the right word but notable mistakes.
For people who beat the shit out of Griff, his face is perfectly fine in the final scene, I didn't notice as I held back.
Annnnd I had Quiver (forget his real name right now, Elenas brother) WITH ME when I went to the other families castle, so how in the holy fuck did plot armor Ramsey have him tortured and strung up? That doesn't make any sense.
