Imagine a Game of Thrones video game developed by Warhorse Games, the folks behind Kingdom Come Deliverance 1 & 2 and it's book accurate....

"The signs were there" narrative about Daenerys is extremely flawed lol

I know I may cause some controversy with this one, but I genuinely don't get the narrative that Daenerys had one path and that path being the one leading to madness and no other path. Was she cruel to her ENEMIES??? 100%. But there is a fundamental difference between striking back at people that struck out against you or those below them versus flat out genocide for ZERO REASON like she did in Kings Landing. Like the battle was quite literally won and she had the throne.

Yes, her punishments for some of her enemies were absolutely extreme but let's be quite honest here all of the other houses and leader of those houses are guilty of cruel killings and punishments at various points in the show and the book lol even the "pure and honorable" House Stark

Now, if you want to justify her madness after losing several people close to her, including two of her dragons then sure I can buy that but the notion that she was always the mad queen starting with season one is nonsense

I just finished the show and I’m sure you’ve all seen this a million times, but the ending absolutely ruins it

Man it was such a good show too, but the way they decided to end it made no sense. If I could’ve just stopped myself at season 7 this would’ve been a top 2 show of all time for me.

Jon Snow going from bastard son sentenced to nothing for the rest of his life, to becoming lord commander of the nights watch, to king of the north, always being the man who knew right from wrong and a great leader, he just gets sent back to the nights watch because of some argument with the unsullied (who are presumably leaving). No one even stood up for Jon when they were having the “who will be king” discussion, not his sisters, not his brother, not samwell Tarly, none of them, which was so uncharacteristic. They all know who he really is too, it just made sense for him to be the king.

How does it make any sense for bran to be king? He’s had 0 storyline towards that at all and now after a 2 minute talk from Tyrion he’s now the king? Also in the past I’m pretty sure he was asked about it and he said he can’t because he’s the 3 eyed raven now.

Then there’s Daenerys. She goes from 7.5 seasons of being portrayed as this woman who’s going to revolutionize the realm, change the world for the better, to just burning all of kings landing down when Cersei had surrendered in the snap of a finger. To be fair they did foreshadow she had a bad side but the way they transitioned her to that bad side was terribly done. Her 180 from good to evil was so poorly done.

Also why give Jamie Lannister a whole redemption arc and storyline with brienne of Tarth just for him to revert back to “I love Cersei I’m gonna go die with her” and have him die? So confused there. I wouldn’t have minded if they gave him the same ending as Theon, dying in the battle against the white walkers. It’s like they gave Jamie all this character development for what? Just for him to revert back to his “I love Cersei”?

Why exactly is Arya going as far west as west goes? How does that fit her character at all? Just about the only character arc that came to an end in the finale that made sense was Sansa becoming lady of winter fell.

If Kit Harington hadn’t been cast as Jon Snow, which actor do you think would have been a good fit for the role?

Starks genes are filled with horrible decisions. They were too simple and decent for the game.

Could Robb Stark have just retreated to the North after losing the Karstarks?

This show is probably the best half of a show I've ever seen.

I loved half of this show so much.

What do you think overall of Ser Arthur's death in the show? Do you think George would canonize this event? And why did they add only 2 Kingsguard, shouldn't there be 3?
