Along the 30 hours of gameplay offered by "Game of Thrones", play as Mors, sworn brother of the Night's Watch, and Alester, a Red Priest in search of redemption who is back to Westeros after a long exile. The Hand of King Robert Baratheon has just passed away, and these two charismatic heroes will find themselves dragged in a grand quest that will lead them through familiar and gorgeous places of Westeros, such like the Wall and its region, or the famous King’s Landing. In this grand adventure, they will meet famous faces: Queen Cersei, Varys the Spider or Jeor Mormont, the Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch faithfully reproduced from the TV series.
In "Game of Thrones", you will choose the class of your characters, find your fighting style, reach a good balance between your strengths and weaknesses, and get ready for epic battles! Find, buy or loot new equipment and weapons to fit your approach of the fights, and gain experience to improve your skills or learn new ones. Slow the time down during battle to analyze the situation and choose your next moves. In game of thrones, political skills can be as lethal as a sharpen sword, so never underestimate the power of a silver tongue to solve a critical situation!

Well at least George Martin is going to get paid and then some, maybe he even completes the series before he croaks...![]()

Some already have over 500 hours since Dungeon Defenders was released. Could get it at 75% off (<$5), beat that! All games must live up to that ratio of value.

Complaining about game length seems silly to me. I'd much rather have a tight, well-paced game @ 20 hours than a drawn-out, grindy affair @ 60 hours.
I never understood why Raymond E Feist doesn't get more coverage - I know the books have been going very nearly 30 years and consist of 29 books but they are broken into normally 3 book sagas which would be perfect for a TV adaptation.

Hah, I win the "bloody hard to read book" contest!

Thats the great thing about games like that, people who want 100+ epic gametime can go explore everything. People like you who want a <30 hour experience can focus on main quests. Same goes for many other beth games too, like oblivion, the fallout games, morrowind, etc.
30 hours is fine for me. Any longer than that and I really don't have a chance of finishing the game. More concerning is that this game is going to be trash. Sad but true. If only cd projekt were making it. Oh well, moving on...

Which is why I wasn't against Episodic content at the beginning... smaller chunks make it less likely for the designers getting bored and phoning it in / copy-paste'ing / etc. So long as the price was... adequate and the release schedule was acceptable I'd be fine with it.
Unfortunately practically nobody really delivered on Episodic Content correctly.

I would like to read this series but man those books are HUGE.
Yeah, they're huge - because Martin spends pages and pages telling you over and over again about what people ate, how they ate it and what they ate it off. He's easily one of the most tedious writers to ever make a fortune. Do yourself a favor and just stick to the TV show.

Martin is very detail oriented so the books are huge but if you are a reader you will still blow through them like nothing. If your like most of us you will also come to both loth and love the Game of Thrones.
