The voices of the characters were crystal clear, but background noises like crowds murmuring or swords being drawn, sounded like they were super low quality. While the abrupt ending is certainly forgivable, especially if (hopefully) a second season is in the works, I can’t look past is the poor audio quality that plagued the episode. It never felt like the episode peaked, things just kind of …got worse. The ending felt abrupt, and I found myself muttering, “that’s it?” I was left with couple of cliffhangers, and my stat page popped up showing some of the key choices I made throughout the series, compared to the decisions everyone else made. This aspect of the series is super awesome, and really lends well to making each player’s experience truly feel like their own, individual adventure.Īs the episode ended, with so many character’s storylines coming to bloody ends, I was beginning to think there would be no one left. We made different decisions and experienced completely different outcomes, though it roughly followed the same order of larger events.
I talked to a friend of mine who finished out the series shortly before I did, and we confirmed that characters in the series are completely interchangeable she had characters who were still alive whom I had lost in previous episodes, and vice versa. It isn’t fair, and Telltale has no problem reminding you that life in Westeros is anything but. My punishment: watching some of the characters I’d worked so hard to get were they were die. Things continually go south for the unfortunate Forrester family, and that all comes to a head in Episode Six.Ĭontinuing to operate with it’s iconic choice-based narrative, Telltale Games kicked me right in the feels numerous times, delivering emotional slaps on the wrist for making some rash decisions in previous episodes. It’s just a good old fashioned blood bath.Īnd House Forrester is right in the center of it.Īfter losing their father-figure right at the start of Episode One, the Forresters have struggled with ruling over their people, and keeping their fortress, Ironrath, safe from their enemies. I’d even feel safe saying that more characters died in episode six than the first five episodes combined. Telltale doesn’t disappoint, and while I didn’t keep track, I’d feel safe betting on the fact that the finale had more leading characters die than any other episode in the season. Finale episodes are always given the task of kicking the body-count up a bit more than usual to keep people talking until the next season begins. Throughout the six episode season, we’ve seen plenty of heroic characters (and even more not-so-heroic ones) meet untimely ends. Telltale’s handling of the franchise is no different.
That’s Game of Thrones in a nutshell, folks.
