Bethesda - 'Game of Thrones'.

Ludicrous. GoT has terrible lore, miles off the elder scrolls saga.

It could work as an "adult" game though..
 
Song of Ice and Fire is all about storytelling. The one thing Bethesda constantly sucks at.
 
Jon snow skill : divine intervention (rise from. The dead once every hour)

Daenerys : calls a dragonling

Bron : persuasive sarcasm (works for brothel to get cheap feck)

Jaime : ambidextrous

Euron : transform into reek

What's the logic behind this?

No, no, no.

I'd adore a proper GoT game but anyone but Bethesda, please.

I'm the opposite. I'd like to see a new Bethesda game but please not a GoT one.

I've only ever seen the first season and am not planning on watching the rest.
 
There's plenty of story in Elder Scrolls if you can be bothered listening to the patter of the folk. And by reading the books and scrolls dotted across the map.
 
I dont think you can make a good game out of GOT. Same with The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. Like many have tried but no one has really come out with a great game for either of those franchises.

That's because EA got it's mitts on Lotr and Harry Potter and they make shit games.

Battle for Middle Earth I & II are some of the best RTS games I've ever played.

Oii. The Two Towers and ROTK were fecking great hack and slash games. I remember me and my cousin used to stay up all night during the summer holidays with those.

The Black Gate mission where you face neverending horde of Orcs was fantastic.

The combat is fun, but it shits on Tolkiens work. I also found it got boring pretty quickly, the maps were way too similar so as soon as I completed Map 1 and go onto Map 2 I pretty much gave up. I might go back and try and go through Map 2 some time if I can be bothered.
 
I remember wishing there would be a Betheda Wheel of Time around 15 years ago.

I'm not that excited about this, but I don't know why. I don't think the world of Game of Thrones is that amazing in places... the strength is in the story
 
Do we all agree Bethesda Lord of the Rings would be better?

Really? I think the shows done a superb job bringing the locations to life. But they'd struggle to recreate an accurate version of Winterfell let alone Kings Landing. CD Projekt RED would do a far better job of it imo.

The nemesis system was groundbreaking.

Agreed. I'm waiting for an RPG to invest in a similar system but expand the concept so not only does it create new npcs when others die to fill the void. But it also creates new quest lines and changes the locations visually. The problem is that game developers really don't like making games with replayability. There's no money in it, they'd much rather make DLCs that people pay for than create a game which people replay 5/6 times.

I don't know, I've only seen the TV series.

Some places in Game of Thrones are incredibly iconic. The wall. That sky hole place. Kings Landing I guess.

Actually I've been on the Game of Thrones Minecraft server and that was incredible... so maybe I'm wrong.

But at least with Lords of the Rings, you have Dwarves, Elves, Ents, Hobbits, Giants, Orcs, Goblins, Trolls, Balrogs, etc.

Shadow of Mordor was/is brilliant and won a load of GOTY awards, racking up solid 9/10s etc. The sequel looks like it could be even better.

Well LotR is pure fantasy so that's hardly surprising. Despite much of Game of Thrones being Medieval they've done a great job making all the locations look original.

Kings Landing, Winterfell, Dragonstone, Pyke, Eyrie, Riverrun, The Twins, Casterly Rock, The Wall etc

Being able to stroll around Westeros would be great though and from a development point of view it wouldn't be too difficult to make regions as DLC's. Start with Kings Landing and the east coast stretching up to the North. Then start filling in the West and South as DLCs.
 
You can't really speak of the ASOIAF world and lore if you've only watched the show. It's no Middle Earth but there's plenty of substance to the world, trust me.

Beat me to it. The Witcher 3 is the closest thing we have to a mature GoT-esque open world game.

Bethesda should stick to Elder Scrolls and their fun yet buggy sandboxes. I wouldn't trust them with ASOIAF lore at all.
 
The biggest problem with a GoT game is.. what character could you be? Or.. characters?

Games with loads of playable characters rarely work and I can't see how this would be different.

Imo their only option would be a different story focusing on a singular character. Perhaps Ned during Robert's Rebellion. HBO have ruled out doing it as a series so it's their best option, I reckon.

See Telltales GOT game for examples on how it could work.

I'll add I've never watched GOT, but I enjoyed the game despite not knowing who anyone was or what they were waffling on about. But mates that have played the game and watch the show enjoyed it as well.

Telltale's GoT was absolutely fecking terrible.

Plus it's a totally different type of game to the one Bethesda would do.

I'd make it an RPG and be able to make characters that are a member of smaller houses or average joe citizens. I'd stay well clear of the large houses and have those as NPCs that control the main story / quest lines.
