Season 2 will likely introduce many new characters if it uses a similar format, so it might still be good, but this cliffhanger is going nowhere. This just leaves Gared and Gared's story is worthless. Even though the survivor's story is the most interesting one and the one with the biggest cliffhanger, you know it's not going anywhere, so the lack of a definitive ending is just unsatisfying. Since either Asher or Rodrick can die, you know the surviving character will be killed off in the first scene of the first episode of Season 2. Am I going to be playing Game of Thrones games every couple of years until I die? I'm not looking forward to that. It's a setup for a second season, and I have to wonder just how far they plan to take things. It leaves some plot threads dangling, not all of which are worthwhile. Season 2 has already been revealed to be in the works. Much like the show and the books, it seems that Telltale's Game of Thrones will go on forever. All roads lead to a huge final battle for control of the Ironwood with a very Game of Thrones ending, in that it's depressing and not actually an ending at all. (Either way, a fight is coming.) Rodrick sneaks into their camp at night and is given the choice to either save Ryon or kill Ludd. Asher invites the Whitehills into his home to either poison or ambush Ludd. The outcome is largely the same for both, but the path to the end differs depending on who is walking it. This story is likely why this episode took four months to come out. The core story belongs to Asher or Rodrick, depending on who survived. It's also the only one that's an actual ending. I thought Mira's ending, at least the one I saw, was the most satisfying of the three. BioShock gives you huge rewards for not killing Little Sisters, but being good in Game of Thrones leaves you with your pride and nothing else. Ultimately, many games can't stand to actually put you at a disadvantage. Do the wrong thing and have an easier time or do the right thing and suffer for it. I'm sure some people are unsatisfied with the way things turn out for her, but I applaud it! Games like BioShock claim to be about choices. Things go wrong, and she's given multiple opportunities to throw others under the bus to protect herself. I've enjoyed helping Mira play politics in King's Landing, and in this episode, she's faced with the consequences of her actions up to this point.
A lot of people don't seem to care about her at all, but I haven't felt that way. Aside from the appearance of white walkers, nothing of value would have been lost if Gared had been killed off or just ignored after the first episode.įrom what I've seen, Mira doesn't seem to be a very popular character. His story is unresolved but also completely unimportant. At the end, you have to decide whether Gared and company should stay and protect the grove or leave to help defend house Forrester, except at this point (unknown to Gared) the battle is already over. He finds it, there are some people there, and some white walkers just to give him something to do for the rest of the game. If you were wondering how a distant grove of trees was going to play into the immediate Forrester/Whitehill conflict, you may not be surprised to learn that it absolutely doesn't. Gared and friends finally locate the North Grove in this episode.
This game likely would have been better if one of the characters had been cut or killed off early. This allows us to focus more on the three remaining characters, which turns out to actually be preferable. This leaves us with three stories to follow at once, instead of the usual four. This review openly spoils previous episodes of the game, so take a look at the review for episode one, two, three, four, or five to get caught up.ĭon't ask me why it's called The Ice Dragon, I have no idea.Īs soon as Asher returned to Westeros last episode, Asher and Rodrick's story threads merged and one of them was brutally slain in a Whitehill ambush.
