As the funeral ends, a riot occurs among starving peasants. Meanwhile, Alester's half-brother, Valarr Hill, a bastard and a knight of the queen's guard, is engaged to Alester's sister, Elyana, and is set to become Riverspring's next lord, which Alester is determined to stop. Gawen is suspected of murdering his father with poison. Mors is also a skinchanger, and has a dog which he can control at will.Īlester, at his father's funeral, learns that his younger brother Gawen was recently disinherited, and has gone missing following his father's death. He sent his wife and daughter into hiding and was persuaded to join the Night's Watch to avoid execution. Near the end of Robert's Rebellion, he refused a direct order to kill Elia Martell and her two infants, thereby putting his family's lives in danger. Mors Westford is one of the best rangers of the Night's Watch, and prior to that, he was one of the best knights serving House Lannister. He returns to Riverspring, his home, after hearing of his father's death. During that time, he became a priest of R'hllor. Alester, a knight, was the heir to Sarwyck, a lordly house under Lannister, but had fled to Essos 15 years before, being traumatized by an unspecified event at the end of Robert's Rebellion. I got more the 100 hours of fun out of this game and found the story so good that, in eight years that I own this game, I had multiple playthroughs, managing to beat the 100 hours gameplay mark.The game takes place concurrently with season 1 of Game of Thrones, and switches between two characters, Alester Sarwyck and Mors Westford. I personally experienced the issue and found the game playable very enjoyable. Luckily, the player may experience this issue in the first 30min of game, so, it shouldn’t be a reason not to buy it, because the game will still be eligible for refunding. The biggest issue is a camera stuttering glitch, which is experienced by a lot of players, and the fixes on the internet doesn’t solve the issue for everyone. It takes some time to get used to it and is easy to miss some quests because of it too.ĭespite its age (and plenty of time for fixes), the game still has some minor bugs. The interface is not the best either, especially around stats, and quest tracking. Some voice actors are bad but not the main characters, and, as a nice touch, there are two characters in this game that are voiced by the same actors in the show. Not a surprise at all since it uses the Unreal Engine. The graphics are very nice for a 2013 game. It’s fair to say the game has a good replayability if you liked the story plot in the first playthrough. And since the player can complete quests in different ways, it’s possible he/she doesn’t learn about every aspect of the plot in one single gameplay. Some quests can be completed in different ways and, sometimes, depending on the player approach, a trait (perk) is earned (just like in Fallout games), but the multiple solutions of quests don’t branch out the story – it’s a very linear RPG. It’s a pretty good story and the game worth’s playing by itself. Story wise, it’s Game of Thrones, which means you should expect a lot of backstabbing, violence, and plot twists. It’s not as hard as Dragon Age Origins combat, but in the “Lord” difficulty it will demand the use of potions and good combos to win. The combat happens in real time, with a slow time feature to choose abilities and decide tactics. Albeit being an RPG game, is heavy combat oriented, which means all abilities and skills are focused only on combat. It’s an RPG game, which means the player must administrate the distribution of points in stats (STR, AGI, INT, etc.), abilities, and skills. The game starts telling two different about Sir Mors and Sir Alister, two former knights that served under the banner of House Lannister during the Robert’s Rebellion.
