This could have been the best Telltale game. There was so much to work with and then in the end literally none of your character choices mattered. Not a one.

Character A: "You must do everything you can to appease them. Even if you have to lie..." *Appease them and lie just as you were told to do* [Character A hated that]

“I cannot forgive that she used me,” - Maergery “the audacious” Tyrell

Holy shit thats tragic. Theres no winning for the Forresters. For every W there's 3 Ls

House Forester's story is pretty bad because it's coated with reverse plot armor, basically if anything bad can happen it will happen, they are never lucky and the characters around them hate them without much of a reason

Honestly a shame we never got to see how their story ended, but i suppose we could make some guesses in general based on the outcome of the show. I think House Whitehill were part of the Bolton army at The Battle of the Bastards, and thus were annihilated alongside House Bolton. And it makes sense that House Forrester would be restored and regain their family seat when Jon became King in the North.

I would kill for an open world Westeros game. Imagine something like where you’re from a small noble family in the north and your whole journey is you becoming a renowned knight

Asher Forrester had lowkey become one of my favourite characters during this game. It's so disappointing that the story wasn't finished, I wanted my revenge.

Taking a real house from the books and using the Red Wedding as the jumping off point were both great calls, and really drew me in. I think this game represents the Game of Thrones IP very well. And the structure, with the disparate members of the family separated, smartly gives us the chance to see all the main locales in Westeros just like the main story. And I loved that it didn't shy from being relentlessly bleak. This is my 2nd favorite Telltale game after The Walking Dead Season 1

Poor house Forrester unfortunately we'll never see seaon 2

I loved this game and it’s story, Margery just pissed me off though, even if you remain loyal to her, nothing is good enough for her and she considers you a traitor

This is better than season 7 and 8, it gives season 4 vibes

Honestly, I'm glad there won't be a season 2 the hate boner for the Forrester's was crazy, I understand making them struggle in the situation they're in makes sense but EVERY option leading to bad consequences just got tiring.

The game quickly goes from season 4 level writing, to season 8 really quickly. The choices don't matter, the twists are illogical and cruel (making no sense whatsoever), the in show characters are exaggerations of themselves and overall it becomes a chore to get through. Where Walking Dead was different (and better) is that you don't deal with the major characters, you don't run into any of the big villians, you're just another story in that world. It means that your actions matter more and you're not fustrated with your presented lack of control.

It’s a damn shame telltale basically imploded so we’ll never get to see where they were exactly going with the story. Westeros is a perfect setup for a tragic family drama and the game set it up well with every slight win they have having severe consequences. It’s a fun game, but knowing there’s not even a resolution to it kinda ruins the point of playing it more than once.

Used to be a telltale fan, so of course I bought and played this, since I liked the tv show too. The start was STRONG, you felt the same energy and intensity of the show, and got invested into making this house survive. With time, however, everything gets SO frustrating. Every bit of progress you make is undone quickly, the very universe wants you to stay in bad shape, you could do everything right and the result will alost (key word almost) be the same, which is TellTales curse at work I suppose. Still, unlike other works, the way this game constantly punches you in the face gives way more frustration than it is worth. The ending showed some potential, but after all that frustration, I'd not have bought a season 2 if it existed.

I love how armor is useless in this game

I think the biggest "FUCK YOU" that this game gave me was probably when I chose to let Rodrick live. I felt as if his story made more sense. A man crippled and assumed dead during a bad fight. He comes home, and finds out his father and brother are dead and his family is literally in the worst spot of their lives. So he begins to become a bad ass, and start teaching himself how to fight again, even going as far as saying "I'm going to kill that man.'' So I got invested in his repair and struggle. I liked Asher too, but I kinda felt like his only two character traits were "I am a charming sarcastic guy, and I'm good at fighting", I did, however grow to like him when he got the pit fighters on his side. Rodrick felt a lot more down to earth for me, and I was FAR more invested in his story. So when I choose to let him live, the game parades Asher's head on a pike as if to say "Hey...you made the wrong choice, bud." Because if you choose to let Asher live, they bring Rodrick's body back, all respectful. It felt like a literal middle finger to my choice and I realized how this game was basically torture porn.

Nearly 10 years later and Talia's song still give me chills.

I genuinely think this was a video youtube NEEDED. I also dropped this game partway through and never picked it back up again so I was always curious what happened in the story. It's a shame they never got to finish it but I liked your decisions in game and thought your way of telling the story was well done!

That’s unfortunately the Telltale format. Have a story that gives you the illusion that your choices matter. No matter what, House Forrester will fall and all your doing is choosing who will survive by the end.

It’s sad that the telltale writers didn’t seem interested in capturing the true feel of The series. While the game has fun moments, no matter what you did people were angry with you. Even if you played to their side or kept their secret they still hated you. And as cool as it is to see series characters in the game, ultimately it’s frustrating. We know we can’t stab Ramsey cause he’s alive in the show so it’s a useless option. But that’s how most telltale options are. It feels like TT watched a few episodes and all they took away was “main characters die? Absolutely we can do that” but didn’t bother taking in why the book/show does that and how it works. Imagine if right after Ned died, like an episode later, Robb gets killed. And then Sansa and Arya. I understand the game doesn’t have the timeframe to work as the show did but they should have realised that story structure wasn’t good for their time limit.

To this day when I make up GoT stories, my characters are usually a Forrester. Idk why, I just love the house 😂 Also Talia's song is 👌

See I never left Roderick to die, I always left Asher

There are lot a holes in the story, things happening for the sake of drama, mainly, how the hell enemies keep getting in the fortified castle with garrison on watch?

For some reason in this game, they make Margaery and Daenerys more bitchy than in their counterparts in TV Show. No matter what Mira does, she will never please Margaery and so does Asher, she will never get Daenerys as her alliance to the North. I guess, it's like every Telltale games ever: Your Choice *DOES NOT* Matter

Damn so the Forresters are the Starks of this game 🤣 this was better than the last 2 seasons combined!

The whole the person you didnt choose as your sentinel betrays you because you are leading the family to ruin is so stupid...

"Rodrick has secured the bag" is not what I expected to hear in a GoT video 😂

Its a shame to see that telltale shut down I really wanted to see how House Forrester would've risen back to power and how Gared would've helped the house too.

Wow much more tragic than I would've expected, great choices and great video!

Imagine a Dunk and Egg based RPG open world game. Plot is you going from a hedge knight to a kings guard lord commander. Lots of quests and side quests. An interesting dynamic with Egg (GOW 2018-type thing). And then as a total baddas ending, we find out what happened at Summerhall, where Egg and Dunk both die in a tragic, but bittersweet finale. What a game that could be!

I never played the telltale games... mostly because it became fairly obvious immediately that your choices didn't actually matter, which was supposedly the whole point. It's one of the big reasons the studio crashed and burned so bad. I watched it online hoping I was wrong: If I recall Mira dies or gets married to someone evil at the end of her story, and I remember thinking that there was no way she would survive the first episode of the next season specifically so the two plots could meet up and they could use the same recorded dialog, which is what happened in walking dead.

If Wolf among us 2 does well they might do season 2 of game of thrones

They are basically House Stark from Wish

I always liked this game because it highlights the aftermath and just how many people depended on the Starks power.

I LOVED this game and to this day I’m still mad we never got a season 2.

While the story is decent a lot of it makes no sense, like why would Cersei, Margaery, Tyrion or the Boltons give a shit about an extremely minor dispute between two tiny Northern houses, it'd be different if it were major houses like the Manderlys, Umbers, or Karstarks but it's just two minor noble houses disputing over like 1-2 soldiers being killed in a confrontation, that shit literally happens all the time they would never waste time over something like that. And Mira managing to be a handmaiden to Margaery Tyrell is also absurd, all her handmaidens were Tyrells or related to her and even if some weren't they for sure wouldn't choose Mira Forrester, they would choose a daughter of one of the Tyrell bannermen or something

Once you work out the scripted deaths. You can play as crazy as you want. Kissing every girls and fighting all the bullies.

If everything works out with the Wolf Among Us 2…I would like to see them attempt a Game of Thrones 2.

19:40 It hurted seeing you not stand up to Griff

I'm gonna save the house in CK 3 AGOT XD

I always hated this games fake storybranching. Don't give me the illusion of choice if you're just gonna loop back to the inevitable singular plot point you've decided all paths lead to. So many infuriating things were forced onto the player completely contrary to the choices made because Telltale, as always, didn't actually program it so your choices made any difference.

i was devastated when i found out they werent continuing this story. i was seriously invested after playing this.

The ending narration really hits the main theme of perspective in ASOIAF.

I loved this game so much, until I got to the end and saw that NOTHING I did mattered. The bias against the protagonist Forresters was absurd. I'm content with them having maybe been elevated again after Whitehill and Bolton bit the dust together. No need for a second season of this.

The Irony of having the player choose to allow the more diplomatic character live, and in so doing, end the chance of ending the house fued between the Forresters and Whitehill.

The game had some great scenes and dilemmas, I'll give them that. But yet again, most games of Game of Thrones kinda miss the mark when GRRM isn't the one behind the writing. The big appeal of Game of Thrones is the way fantasy tropes are subverted realistically. Ned Stark would be a fine protagonist trying to fix the kingdom, but his disdain for politics and intrigue got him killed. Robb Stark would be a fine protagonist trying to avenge his father and save his sisters, and won every single battle he fought, but lost in the political arena when he lost the Karstarks and broke the deal he made with Walder Frey, and Tywin Lannister, the man who crushed them all got killed ignobly after mistreating Tyrion one time too many. And yet, there is a flipside to all the bleakness. Because of the Stark's honor and fairness in dealing with their people, there are multiple conspiracies plotting to return the Starks to power and overthrow the treacherous Boltons. That is loyalty that Tywin can only dream of. Because of the hideous act of breaking Guest Right, every single Frey has a target on their back, and they have lost all goodwill (as little as it was) with every lord in the Riverlands and the North. As Tyrion once said, "You may find it difficult to rule over millions who want you dead." And Lord Tywin's legacy just kept burning itself to the ground the moment he died. The smallfolk hate the sight of Lannisters, the Tyrells are scheming to supplant the Lannisters the same way the Lannisters supplanted the Baratheons, and Cersei put the High Sparrow in power, putting her in a cell that she thoroughly deserves. That's the beauty of GRRM's writing, the world of Game of Thrones is cruel, but it's fair. (Barring being a Riverland's peasant) With the Telltale game, they put in the bleakness, but not much of the beauty. Telltale games are all railroads. The biggest offender was the first Lost Legion encounter. They come in, steal your treasure, and threaten to kill you. So you fight them off, and then you get your first choice: do you break his neck or break his leg? The guy says that if you kill him, they'll send the whole Legion after you, but I knew that was bullshit. They'll send the whole Legion after you anyway. So I broke his neck. And so on and so on. The second egregious choice is setting up the second "Red Wedding". Those plots never work out. The mother will die no matter what, so it's better to face them in battle and leave with your honor intact. And what were they thinking giving Myra a choice whether she lives or dies? When you die, that's it. Nothing you fought for matters anymore. Better to cling to life through teeth and nail.

I loved this game and was so pissed you can’t even download it on mobile anymore. I call this the game where just about every choice sucked and people would inexplicably act like assholes (lookin’ at you, Margaery) but I still loved it. So sad we didn’t get a second season

Man lost media can be so cool. Lost Media is something that is either impossible or unreasonably dofficult to aquire by standard means. Usually meaning Piracy is the only means for some Media

This is literally just like the show where everything is perfect except the ending

Maergary be like : i cant believe she swore loyality to the king in front of me

The rise and fall of telltale games is enough to give you Motion sickness

I finished it just now and man I just feel sad and defeated. I tried being a pacifist with Rodrick and it didn't work. Then I tried doing all our war with Asher and that didn't work. But the end had me hopeful because as we know from S8, a stark sits on the throne. So maybe Asher can come back and claim his birthright, and Mira's husband won't be able to take her family's right. I need to go to sleep, this hurts.

Mr. Sullivan was always one of my favorite wrestlers. I am floored from the news of his passing. WCW s best stories, he was in charge of , but I will always remember him as the dark master in Florida. Rest in peace Task master.

One of the best telltale games, people didn't appreciate a brilliant story

Staying at the ground when grif tells you to is an ultimate sin

Played it all the way thru! So wanted a part 2!

Boy, Asher and friends sure move at that Season 7/8 travel speed, don't they?

their story feels even more tragic that the starks

I was lucky to play this on my Xbox 360, I loved it so much. I wish they could have kept it on Steam.

Pretty wild to think I’m lucky to have this game in my library. I’ve done every ending and honestly I love this game. All of telltales games are fantastic and this is no different. It fits nicely into asoiaf and all the endings feel perfect for the universe it’s set it

I loved everything about this except for how you played Roderic

Idk why but I kinda expected it to not have a follow up. That's why I did a lot of edgy choices, like killing Ludd by poison instead of seeking peace through marriage, ripping the heart out of Gared's friend, etc. I can't remember for certain, but maybe I had Tom take Myra's place on the chopping block; not sure about this last one though, it's been many years.

Oh this game... It was such a miseryfest but I did love it, especially being a huge fan of GoT at the time. Things working out just wouldn't be very GoT, especially with the Forresters who are obviously too good people to backstab and plot... They stood no chance from the start lolol I'm still so fond of this game though

I so wanted this story to continue, really did not understand the hate this one got. It was really great

This game felt like a parody of game of thrones all that suffering and twists just for the sake of it

I remember feeling so fucking unsatisfied with this game at the end. Classic telltale

Mira Forrester was such a great character man

Im still salty we never got a season two. Dumb ass TaleTell couldn't keep itself together. Hopefully they can get it together and give us a season 2.

“If you like what happed to the Starks you’ll love the foresters”

I Loved that game so much i wish it had a sequel. It just goes to show there is so much potential in that world for more games.

this story is so great, that they could have done a separate TV series on it.

What sucks the most besides the lack of choices meaning in the end is that I actually really enjoy the cast here. There fleshed out, have different personalities and feel good to be around them. The issue is that like many have said is that this game is way to brutal, like it’s actively screwing over the characters but to the point of absurdity even if you did everything right.

I'm your 1,000th subscriber! Honestly, wish Telltale would've expanded the series more.

This game can be described as: The illusion of choice.

See? You can still have an awesome story without throwing pr0n into it.

I rarely hear people talking about this game and is such a shame. The writing was worthy of a GoT game. Too bad they never finished it.

I tried my best to fit the timeline of the Game with the Tv Series let me know if I was close in some Telltale Game of Throne Timeline Episode 1 First part S3 EP 9 Gared Arrive to father and Ironrath - Season 4 Episode 1 Ramsey Arrive to Ironrath - Season 4 Episode 1 Episode 2 Timeline Season 4 Episode 2 Purple Wedding Episode 3 Timeline Season 4 Episode 2 - 4 Daenerys Meereen Mission Jon looking for Volunteers Episode 4 Timeline Season 4 Episode 5 Gared escape the same day Jon went to caster keep making it been a day of him being prison Tommen get crowned King Ramsey appearance during this episode is on the same day in the beginning of Episode 5 would make it been a week for Ramsey to return back to Reek Episode 5 Timeline Season 4 Episode 5 - 6 - 7 Ramsay appearance Season 4 Episode 5 Mira visited Tyrion before his trial Season 4 Episode 6 Rodrik learn about the traitor and Ambush Season 4 Episode 6 - 7 Asher travel back home Season 4 Episode 6 - 7 Episode 6 Forrester vs Whitehill Timeline Season 4 Episode 6 - 7 Ramsay to Reek about Rodrik and Family Timeline Season 4 Episode 8 Cersei to Twyin about the Forrester Season 4 Episode 10

this is such a entertainment history omg

Man, I wish we can get a sequel. I want to see what's next for Ser Roderick the Unbroken

Jeez, what a depressing tale. Not one person got even a neutral ending.

Another goated video, my guy. Keep up the great work

Your typical Telltale game. You get to make many decisions, none matter. The consequences are all the same. It's just the illusion of a roleplaying game.

Honestly I remember having watched the first season via DVD as a kid and after that finding out about the telltale game and playing it. It was so dope to me and I guess I never realized how little the choices mattered due to how much I was enjoying the ride

Why is Margery such a jerk in this game? Much of character in the show and books is about her keeping up a persona of being kind and charming, while being subtly cunning and ambitious, but here, she’s just kind of a annoying and easily angered jerk. It would have been better if Margery somehow used Mira to benefit House Tyrell, like maybe if she donates funds, she wants House Forrester to acts as spy’s and informants in the North, and (in the future) possibly even have them plot to kill Stannis.

The flayed man of Bolton will always be a sick tattoo

Yeah it's extremely GOT. I played the whole game in every combo. It's really too bad that the gaming company fell through because they had some terrific games. There was supposed to be another chapter to it. I was wait for it too.

I'd give anything for this game to come back

The problem wants the game played poorly, it looked terrible. The decisions don't mean that much usually. It didn't feel like a next gen game. In fact it felt like it was made for tablets.

I’m not a big gamer, but this was the first game I’ve ever bought and played through. Even scoped out a second physical disk to finish the part of the game that didn’t come on x box lol

I am actually disappointed that there was never a continuation to the game since telltale shut down

This one of the most interesting Telltale game I've ever played. Shame it never got a second season. I'm sort of glad it never got a second season because I feel like they'd kill off Mira and Asher/Rodrick almost straight away because they can die in the first season which I never do. I'm saying this because of what they did with Jane/Kenny in season 3. I just hate how hopeless it feels sometimes. No what you do, any victories you get are quickly overshadowed by bullcrap. The best that happens is mantaining a good relationship with Sera and that's only if you give a damn about her. Still love the game though.

This is a great story. thanks for sharing, M8

Hey the Wolf Among Us finally got a part 2. Maybe we'll get a part 2 for the Forresters and finally they'll get GOOD luck in the next season. Maybe even have them become the first knight to the North's King Jon Snow once he takes over, for their loyalty and troubles.

The tragic fate is that we’ll Never know the ending

It's depressing that they never make a continuation for this game.

It was a pretty good game, I didn't get to finish it but I really enjoyed it.

Only ever played this game when Sony made it all free for PSN subscribers. Easy to platinum so not actually many different paths to take.

10 years later and i still think its in development
