1. I block all avatars and sigs. Shut up about that **** because it's all ******* dumb anyway.

2. GET THE **** OUT OF THE TV THREAD, BOOK SPOILERS! For ****'s sake!

Ive heard the Thrones game is solid. Havent looked at any reviews or anything though, just going by word of a Thrones fan who plays a lot of RPGs.

comahan · 06-09-2012, 05:48 PM

Nothing he said was a spoiler, it all happened in the show, sigil aside.

Oh, I see why he posted it then. (Haven't played Skyrim).
There is a GOT's game on PS3 though... and I'm still tempted to buy it.

The explanation of the white walkers was a total spoiler. It's not a huge deal, but it's things that haven't been brought up in the show.

The sigil isn't a huge spoiler, but we never met the guy that was brought up in the paragraph below it.

You shouldn't be so paranoid. Just because it wasn't explicitly explained in the show does not make it a spoiler. In the very first episode you see the white walkers, and the man who is executed tells of them. They are mentioned numerous times throughout the show. The same with wights. Remember when Jon must kill one with fire? All that graphic does is condense the information simply.

And are you talking about the song Rains of Castamere? There's absolutely nothing spoilerish about that. They sang/played the song in the show.

comahan · 06-09-2012, 06:14 PM

He was referring to the Roose Bolton stuff, and the post mentioning the name of his bastard.

I wasn't aware of the GOT game. I do know that there is a GOT mode for Crusader Kings II, and that that game has basically the perfect set-up to simulate GoT. Assassinations, marriage alliances, usurping titles, war, basically everything that moves the plot in the GoT can be done in that game.

Spoilers are bad, mmkay.

The relationship between walkers and wights was never explained in the show. I'm reading the books after each season because I started with the show.

I don't even really care if it's a "not a big deal" spoiler. One thing leads to another, and you end up with the spoilerfest without the use of tags like the other GoT thread. I don't mean to come off as oversensitive, but there's a reason this thread was created and the other one was left behind by people who haven't read the books.

You're not missing anything apparently.
ign says it's a great story but lazy/bad voice actors, gameplay and glitches.

nepg · 06-09-2012, 08:17 PM

The GoT game sounds pretty fun. Apparently it's kind of bland, which is always expected with movie/show games, but I've read that the story is really well-done and it flows well with the rest of the Song of Ice and Fire universe.

Those are Draugr from Skyrim. This is a description of them, which I spoilered just in case:

Can someone who is familiar with the books clarify if this spoils anything so that the TV folks know whether it's safe to read? Thanks.

Brothgar · 06-09-2012, 09:40 PM

Hey guys I have a question. How does anything in skyrim spoil anything in GoT?

Since I described the Skyrim version, I didn't want to spoil anything about the GoT version by drawing connections between them. Since the only episode I've watched is this one, I didn't know if some of the characteristics that they shared had been revealed and what had not. I spoilered it to stay on the safe side, CAUSE I DON'T BROTH THINGS UP!

We aren't ********, we know what's too much. And you're correct, the show may not explicitly explain it. However it has made references to their connection, that graphic just makes things a little more clear. It exposes nothing about story, just clarifies something already mentioned. If you want specifics of when they're mentioned in the series, in the very opening scene we see the wights serving along the white walkers, and in the episode The Pointy End, "Sam says he read in a book that the dead are animated by the touch of the White Walkers and only fire can destroy such creatures." So yeah, like I was saying, its been explained in the show, those two graphics just clarify.

Again, not explicitly explained in the show does not equal spoiler.

And TH, no that doesn't spoil anything.

Boltons bastard is indeed mentioned in the Television show (but I removed his name from my original post and the sigil of house Bolton is also present in the episode "The Wolf and the Lion".

here it is. It is different than previous artist renditions.

Here is HBO's release of it.

In addition in one episode there is a talk of the Bolton's history of flaying its victims.

I made my post because someone on here was not sure what was happening at Winterfell. I posted what little information was available on the Boltons at this time in the show to give a better understanding of who is saving Winterfell from Theon.

comahan · 06-09-2012, 10:45 PM

Yea youre all fine. I get puh-retty pissed when legit spoilers are posted, youd know about it by now. I see nothing wrong with anything in this thread so far.

fenikz · 06-09-2012, 10:47 PM

Nothing that I didn't already know so back to the awesomeness

Giantsfan1080 · 06-09-2012, 11:07 PM

I still don't understand why the book assholes have to come in this thread and try to "explain" things. Just stay out and don't post here. It's not hard.
