Game of Thrones (and the gratuitous nudity therein), split from Oblivion thread

@Snarky:
I meant that the show and books focus on the games played between characters, rather than any single adventure contained story, like say Indiana Jones. Some of those examples would of course work, there might be something there, but the rest pretty much include walk/travel and we're actually waiting to see what will happen when characters reach the place they're going to and in the process we watch basically a soap opera (not of course as bad). What are we gonna play a dozen sex scenes while Jon Snow goes with the wildlings to the Wall?

Those other ideas could be woven into an original setting and wouldn't really lose anything essential by not being in GoT universe. You understand what I'm trying to say? You can of course make a game out of everything, but I at least think GoT characteristics (what it is people like about it) would just be lost in the process.

I guess that depends on what it is people like about Game of Thrones. If it's mainly how sprawling and epic it is, with lots of loosely-connected storylines, then no, that's probably not something you can easily replicate in an AGS fan game. But if they think it might be fun to just play in one particular corner of the universe for a bit, I don't see why you couldn't capture in an adventure game a lot of what makes each individual storyline interesting.

Off the top of my head, with the Jon Snow storyline I think the biggest problem is that he's a complete doofus, and the wildlings never trust him, which limits gameplay scope. But what if you made Ygritte the player character? Protecting Jon, trying to keep the other wildlings on her side provides motivation for typical adventure-game doing-favors quests. Dealing with practical problems like equipment or hunting could be done as inventory puzzles. And you could weave in some more mysteries about the White Walkers etc.

If you don't see it, fair enough. But to me it seems much easier to adapt Game of Thrones than, let's say Fables.

Slightly off topic but GoT related....sort of...

Reviving this thread because of this piece of news I came across on the Adventure Gamers forum: http://winteriscoming.net/2013/11/telltale-games-rumored-to-be-developing-new-game-of-thrones-video-game/

You know, my favorite part of GoT is the opening titles (this is true of a frightening number of TV shows for me), so as long as they make the travel map look like those mechanical miniature towns, I'll be satisfied.

If this rumor is true this is good news. Game of Thrones has such a mean ending to the 3rd season and I want to know how it goes on, but I can't be bothered to read the books

No problem - I can spoil it for you in a minute or two.

Judging by The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us... well, they have some taste and skill but I highly doubt they'll do GoT justice.

It is confirmed and a short trailer is out for the telltale GoT game.

I am excited about the continuation of the Saga...

Anyone here enjoy Southpark Parody of the Game of Thrones Show?
That Weiner Song is so funny!
