Have it take place somewhere other than westeros?

Those house mottos are pretty gay and edgy desu. "Famy duty honor" is the only one that sounds remotely realistic. "Hear me roar!" lmao

Why are you posting this again?

>>389650724
The story isnt really rich or deep, its just large.

Martin does not know the difference between quantity and quality.

There was a video game that was basically a knock off dragon age origins,

If you could get past the atrocious combat the story was actually pretty fucking good. Better than anything Bioware has made this decade

Mount and Blade mod

I wanted a thread to discuss our ideas for ASOIAF game. Why are you asking retarded questions?

>>389650724
Mount and Blade mod is decent. CK2 mod is fucking fantastic if you're into that sort of thing, which I am.

>>389650724
You get the same fucking answers every time you make this thread faggot. The series isn't suited for vidya.

Is there a mount and blade mod that adds magic, fantasy creatures and shit?

>>389651201

there is a GoT (show, not series) Total War : Attila mod for this, it's VERY decent, they are starting to make custom maps as well...

I would reckon a total war like game with RPG like elements where you do court intrigue through your dynasty (either in Kings Landing prior to/between wars or other Noble houses), possibly also in Essos.

Warfare would be disinsetivized because it requires FUCKTON of resources which the medieval economy can scarcely produce.

The endgame is the White Walker invasion, and the arrival of Daenerys and a degradation of the economy (eg. more difficulty and tough choices) because of the Coming of Winter.

Thoughts?

It will be a miracle if he even finishes his story in westeros let alone exploring more of essos. I just hope he gives away the rights in his will or something so other writers can expand upon this world he's made. Id love a star wars levels of extended universe content for ASOIAF

>>389651510
I think ASoIaF is severely overrated.

>>389652158
No one claims GRRM is some literary genius but his books are the most engaging high fantasy stories I've ever read, that includes LotR.

The only thing that this series does well if the intrigue. Absolutely everything else is mediocre, it's fantasy for non-readers and has affected the genre the same way games like Hearthstone or Overwatch hit and drag everyone else down.

Read The Black Company if you like the tone. It does everything better then ASoIaF except intrigue, and ASoIaF is getting worse at that anyways.

>>389652604
More like fantasy for non-fantasy readers. Not the anon you're replying to but the reason I got into ASOIAF was because of the political intrigue and relatable characters. I used to read lots of fantasy as a teen but I never got into it, it just feels so ridiculous reading that kind of stuff especially at an older age. Asoiaf appeals to a more "normie" audience and is why it's usually hated by autistic high fantasy book readers. lol like seriously if you're over 20 years old you shouldn't be reading about elves and goblins and shit unless you want to be a manchild forever.

Of course they're going to use the show characters likeness it's not a fucking picture book you child. Besides that's what people recognize the characters as now regardless, they're generally pretty accurate for the most part anyways. Also the book titles are used no where in the show. Learn to use your brain or off yourself.

>>389650887
Have it take place in the summer islands lmfao

>>389653287

Though I really would like to see the summer island expanded upon. What's talked about in the books is always interesting.

>>389652946
Martin doesn't have anything going for him as a writer. It's neither good fantasy or literature. The comparison to OW is made because people with no understanding of the related topic get into the series and defend it when they lack the reference to know better.

Defending ASoIaF as mature is incredibly stupid and pretentious. Very little fantasy has literary merit, and ASoIaF fails to do the job of the genre. The fact that you'd argue for it in this very specific way is what outs you as a non-reader.

If you're going to try to look down on fantasy you at least need to pick something literary like The Buried Giant or something old like Earthsea.

GoT is shit. Martin is using it as a vehicle to explore his gore and incest fetishes.

There's nothing uplifting about it; it's evil versus evil. There's nothing realistic about it; characters are as evil as the worst vidya characters are heroic. There's nothing traditional about it; it's filled with female empovernment and the dragon lady is a mary sue.

Martin is a liberal faggot and it shows in his horrible treating of morality and his utter misunderstanding of religion. GoT is shock pornography for the lowest common denominator.

>>389650724
I thought the RPG was alright, actually. Like a low-budget Witcher. The graphics are serviceable, the combat is not bad enough to drive you away, and the plot keeps you going.

The entire fanbase from the series came from "LOL THEY ARE SHOWING BOOBS XDD" "So controversial!!!', the show in itself is shit, don't know about the books but the writing in show is terrible

>>389656174

>>389656228
Not really. Excessive use of whores, drinking, blood - it was all there in the first season. It just took some time time for them to ramp up the plot towards even more useless violence. You could argue that the narrative wasn't unsalvagable until mid third season, but even then it was filled with excess edge and plotlines that dragged on and went nowhere.

>>389650892
Real shit like that didn't really exist as far as I know.

The only similar thing that I can think of is the Habsburg motto AEIOU which is short for "Alles Erdreich ist Österreich untertan" or "All the World is Subject to Austria". It sounds like bullshit but considering how they practically conquered Europe via royal marriages and political maneuvering rather than warfare.

Pic related shows their realms excluding Spain's giant colonial empire.

>>389651510
Storm of Swords is the undeniable peak of the series so far, because it had two books of build-up which led to an entire book of nothing but payoffs. I think Winds of Winter, whenever it gets released, will be in the same conversation though. The meandering plots of Feast and Dance have been building up to the battle of Meereen and the battle of ice, plus we'll see the aftershocks of Jon's murder through Melisandre's POV, Davos sailing to Skagos, Jaime and Brienne being confronted by Stoneheart, the after effects of Kevan and Pycelle's murders, and Cersei (already a drunk psychopath) is now effectively back in power after being traumatized by the sparrows.

It's gonna be a fucking wild one.

Not in the books. The showrunners are fedoras and made the Sparrows evil because they're fedoras and not Martin.

The Sparrows in the book arise out of the warfare between the Starks and Lannisters in the Riverlands. The high lords are slaughtering peasant and burning fields to do damage to one another and are essentially doing attrition damage instead of defending their small folk. This causes some of the peasants to get angry over the destruction and looting of their villages, pillaging and murder of Septs and Septons, and rape of Septas. They then go to King's Landing and lay the skeletons of the murdered priests in front of the Great Sept of Baelor and demand that the high lords uphold their end of the feudalistic agreement. That is, that peasants work the land but are under the protection of the lords.

The whole thing where they persecute Loras for being gay was made up in the show because what they did to Loras was fucking stupid. They made him from an honorable knight who happened to be gay, to a gay cartoon character. In the book Loras joins the Kingsguard after Renly dies because "After the sun sets, no light can hope to match it." whereas in the show Loras fucks every man he can wants to help with decorations at Margaery's wedding because that's a gay stereotype.

>>389658748
No, that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about theology and people's relationship with divine. Don't misunderstand me, I'm not talking about it not being like Christianity. I'm pointing out that it feels fake. If fucking Elder Scrolls can get religion, then GoT should be able to as well.

>>389650724
>Why
well I assume HBO simply isn't all that interested in making a quality video game besides telltale garbage. They're already printing money with GoT, they don't need a risky vidya game made to make more.

GRRM (assuming he even still has the rights) probably doesn't care enough either. Maybe if someone like Bethesda or another AAA dev offered him a pile of shekels he'd sell them off, but I doubt he has the initiative to try to get one made. The big devs won't because just getting Martin's book rights (without the show connection) would probably be seen as too risky of an investment.

I feel like Conan or any barbarian hero I just read the first Fafnrd and the grey mouser book. would be one of the few games that might benefit from the open world meme. It's all about the journey not the destination, so it could be a neat plot point that you keep getting side tracked from your adventure by all these little quests. Maybe it could even play into the main storyline and affect your reputation and the story if you do or ignore side quests.

What Austria got from the Napoleonic Wars outweighed the loss of Belgium in my opinion, simply because Milan was both incredibly rich and geographically continuous with Austria proper.

France was always going to be interfering with Belgium, as can be seen with how they prevented the Netherlands from annexing it back after the revolt. Austria was given a leading role in the German Confederation before they got outplayed by Bismarck and could have become Germany instead of Prussia if they weren't so opposed to giving up Hungary and the rest of their eastern possessions.

>>389667385
>What Austria got from the Napoleonic Wars outweighed the loss of Belgium in my opinion

Lmao, you think they only lost Belgium?
They lost the entirety of current Germany when the HRE disolved, and Prussia replaced them as the dominant German nation while Austrians got stuck with Slavs who hated them

>>389655332
This is true, but plebeians will deny it. There are much better fantasy authors out there, but they don't get TV shows or movies because they're too difficult/long for the average person to read. You're literally never going to see a movie or TV series for the Wheel of Time, even though it's amazing, because it's written in such a way that you'll have trouble understanding it if you read at an eighth-grade level.

>>389668049
Also Belgium was a very costly loss given it's prominent role in the industrial revolution to the point that by the late 19th century belgium was more powerful economically speaking than AH

>>389668049
While Austria "lost" the HRE, all they lost was really prestige since while they were de jure the rulers of Germany, they definitely weren't the de facto rulers since all of the Protestant duchies defied them at every turn and Brandenburg/Prussia and Bavaria were always starting shit. Bavaria's opposition to the Pragmatic Sanction caused a continent stretching war and so did Prussia's weak ass claim on Silesia.

>>389658915
If you want good fantasy religion, read Brandon Sanderson's stuff. I think he's heavy into Christianity/Mormonism IRL because he is/was (not sure which) an adjunct professor at BYU. He always includes religion in his extremely varied worlds, and demonstrates an understanding of why people choose to worship something that I almost never see in other people's work.
