>>389953105
I have that book, it's pretty good.
But to answer the question I think that it would have 2 big challenges to address, beyond delivering solid mechanics

1. The books are told from alternating point of view, which is very difficult to pull off in an RPG format. FF IX does it decently enough with the party getting split up and then reunited, and FF XIII tried but I don't think it was quite as good. In both cases it was hard to feel any sort of progression because your characters were taken away from you the moment you started to see changes. If there would exist an ASOIAF game it would probably need to model itself on FF IX

2. The cast. Telltale's ASOIAF game didn't do it for me in the same way that their Walking Dead game didn't do it for me. They took the factions of the original series, made cloned characters within a certain role (handmaid, night's watchman, ex-prisoner, etc) and tried to fit them into the world. The problem with this is that whether due to Telltale's writers, or the inherent limitations, these new clone characters were shit and unsatisfying. So in my opinion the game should focus on the real cast instead of fake clone characters. Hell, just let the player control Jaime and have to besiege Riverrun, or the Blackfish, or Arya in Braavos, or even Young Griff.

You don't need to invent a new story, which will probably shit anyway. All you need to do is find a point in the books that is interesting, but underdeveloped, and then write around that.

It would make a decent total war style game with heavy politics. G.r.r Martin based it on the background of the war and fighting. You need to realize it's more talk and less action. It does not lend itself really to alot of heroic story telling, otherwise your just going to get another shadows of mordor. All flash no substance sensory wank that lost the soul and is making the corpse dance.
>>
>>389955104
On your first point. I haven't played IX but I thought maybe it could work like a mixed levelbased/linear rpg in which you play as several different viewpoint characters. You would alternate between say 3 characters for example, Jaime, Jon and Dany. You could do as you said missions in the riverlands and based on how you do you'll get stats to distribute at the end of the level. Sometimes the next level will be the same character, or you'll switch, sometimes even getting to choose based on what's happening. Perhaps you'll even have to make the decision to go help one of your viewpoint characters yourself and let the other one to it's fate. Say you choose to go save yours friends as Jon. But this will cause you to ultimately loose a large part of Daneryes army across the narrow sea.

Barrowton, Mole's Town, the tunnels beneath Winterfell are all described in a similar fashion to a bomb shelter. There's so many subterranean societies.

There's also that all the great houses are described in such a way that makes it seem like they couldn't possibly be early medieval engineering from men who couldn't even read or write. Storm's end for example is made of a material that resists storms and siege to the extent that it hasn't been damaged in 8000 years.

is this theory described in detail somewhere, like on the wiki or in a forum post that i can read?
>>
>>389962195
There's a large series of caverns throughout Westeros, and many ancient seats (Winterfell, Storm's End, Casterly Rock) have underground complexes.
This is the broad theory

Storm's end was built with the help of the Children and various old magics according to legend.

The subterranean stuff is probably there because in a place that needs to survive possibly years long winters, being underground is smart because you can conserve lots of heat.

The strength of A Song of Ice and Fire is in the characters and plot, not in the lore. I'd go as far as saying it would be a better story without the fantasy elements, but that might be premature seeing as the last books are yet to be written.

The dragons are shit plot devices in the books though.

I'm glad I stopped watching after season 6 because I just don't give a shit anymore. The show started to decline after season 4 and 5 would be so much better if you cut the snakes out. Daenarys was never good and the only good thing about her is the ability to get great support characters like Strong Belwas, Barristan, and Jorah. Battle of Bastards was the last great scene and after Cersi just nukes everything it goes full retard. Sure Hallnye mentioned Aerys had caches of wildfire under all of King's Landing but they seriously expected anyone to remember that is a wonder.

I liked Feast for Crows because it was all Westeros shit which is far more interesting than dragon cunt.

The climates make little sense, with Braavos being described in similar terms to Renaissance Venice or Portugal in terms of culture and geography, while it is situated relatively close to the described colder climes of The Vale and The Fingers. This could possibly be explained by ocean currents if it were not for the topography of The Narrow Sea, being too strange and narrow to allow for such massive differences in temperature between the East - Pentos, Braavos and Myr - and the West - The Stormlands, Dragonstone/Maidenpool and The Vale. Moving further east, you have a massive expanse of steppeland surrounded on all sides by desert and mountains. While this isn't explored in as great depth, it makes little sense climate wise.

>How would you make ASOIAF game

Take Witcher 3 but with a better combat system that better fits more realistic combat that we would see in ASOIAF. Something along the lines of what we wanted from For Honor.

Art direction similar to Witcher 3 as well. The art direction in the tv series fucking sucks, it all so bland and all the colors are muted, and the armor designs range from boring to terrible. Good looking platemail and chainmail with brightly colored tunics and standards look so much better than flat faded grey and brown with muted colors. Same more most of the weapons. Valyrian Steel needs to look unique and not just be a slightly shinier steel.

And I'd set it before the Main books. During the Blackfyre Rebellions or maybe before and During Roberts Rebellion if they really feel the need to keep it tied as close to the show as possible.

>>
>>389965346

What happens on the other continents?

>>389953105

Problem is that the lore of ASOIAF is way too tightly woven. There's pretty much a full written history for that world going back like 8,000 years, so if you try to make a game set in Westeros you have the following options:

> Outright contradict the lore to tell an interesting new story
> Write a low-key story with no major players / events from the books or show, with the outcome having no real impact on the overall setting

The Telltale game goes the latter route and does okay for it, but there's a hollow feeling knowing you're not really going to make a difference in the end because it's ultimately Jon and Dany's story.

Another decent option would be to do an elseworlds-style "What if?" story, like if Ned was never killed, but I don't see a developer being brave enough for something radically different.

What we really need is an original game series that invests the sort of effort into its setting and lore to rival works like ASOIAF, but unfortunately the closest we get is shit like Elder Scrolls and Assassin's Creed.
>>
>>389953105
Just play any ASOIAF M&B mod. Just because Ubishit doesn't stick a specific title up your ass doesn't mean you can't find a game or mod about it.
>>
I don't think ASOIAF lends itself to a video game format all that well. Its strength is in the intertwining narratives, which, as other people have brought up ITT, is very hard to make work in a game. It's also not much about the action. It feels like it now that the show is wrapping up and conflict is in the forefront, but the meat of the series is in diplomacy.

And if it were to get a game, the last thing I'd want is a fucking Tellta- oh right.

While I appreciate giving the Mongols their rightful place in history as the world's greatest conquerors, it's worth noting that they didn't just charge mindlessly into their enemies but their victories usually came from outsmarting them as well.
>>
>>389971637

I think that a video game could achieve something resembling ASOIAF's interwoven narratives by employing a design philosophy sort of like Telltale's games, where NPCs react to you based on the actions you've taken, rather than a short list of choices given to you at one particular point in the quest. For example, Skyrim's civil war simply asks, "Do you want to side with the Empire, or the Stormcloaks?" and you choose between the two. What they should be doing is a system which calculates the various things you've done, like how many soldiers of each side you've killed, or how the consequences of your other choices may have benefited them, and use that to decide whether THEY wanna accept YOU.

The problem with a choice-heavy game is sequels. To use Elder Scrolls as an example again; sure, you can shape SKyrim in your ideal image, but what happens in The Elder Scrolls 6 when they want to continue the narrative? They've been dancing around this issue for years, and the best they can come up with is being incredibly vague or just handwaving it with a dragonbreak. It totally robs a setting of the cause-and-effect cycle which forms the whole backbone of works like ASOIAF, where choices made by people who lived and died decades ago are still impacting day-to-day events.

>The problem with this is that whether due to Telltale's writers, or the inherent limitations, these new clone characters were shit and unsatisfying.
I think the problem was that they barely tried to make them their own characters. Most were Stark lookalikes, some of which only existed to bro it up with popular HBO cameos. And the run-time of the game didn't have a lot of time to flesh all of them out jumping back and forth between the different stories.

They might have had a better chance if they weren't trying to pander to all of the fan-favorite things from the show, and instead focused on their own unrelated standalone story in Westeros.

I feel like they're more Hunnic because the Dothraki are depicted as being fucking idiots and unable to deal with walls or engage in sieges and instead just ride around hitting things that don't have walls and demanding tribute.

Hell, if you look at it from the right perspective, Dany is not too far off from Honoria and Drogo died like an idiot shortly after being married. The Hunnic Empire collapsing to the ground shortly after Attilia and his genius wasn't alive to keep it together.

The Mongols were great at sieges and seemingly had no morality about it.
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feodosia
>It is believed that the devastating pandemic the Black Death entered Europe for the first time via Kaffa in 1347, through the movements of the Golden Horde. After a protracted siege during which the Mongol army under Janibeg was reportedly withering from the disease, they catapulted the infected corpses over the city walls, infecting the inhabitants, in one of the first cases of biological warfare. Fleeing inhabitants may have carried the disease back to Italy, causing its spread across Europe.

Though, all in all, the Dothraki are dumber than the Huns because despite not having the means to make armor, the Huns would loot and use every single piece of armor they could find because their warrior culture didn't make protecting yourself from death dishonorable or something stupid like that. I actually think that's a huge failing of GRRM in making the Dothraki believable. Warrior cultures like the Vikings were big about dying in combat, but you were supposed to die valiantly against impossible odds having given you all, not dying like a bitch because you were too proud to wear armor.

>There's also that all the great houses are described in such a way that makes it seem like they couldn't possibly be early medieval engineering from men who couldn't even read or write. Storm's end for example is made of a material that resists storms and siege to the extent that it hasn't been damaged in 8000 years.

it's fucking magic. It's a fantasy show.

Reminder that these threads pop up everyday, with the exact same text.

They are started by shills to prep for the upcoming announcement of the Bethesda GoT game.

Don't be an idiot. Bethesda is prepping you to want their game.

It's not wrong. It was an idea the horse trainer had because it looked flashy. It is not based on any style of fighting. The idea is that the Dothrakki do it to make them look bigger, but at the end of the day it is purely based on one person's neat idea. It has no combat value, and no one who made it thinks it does.

Maybe the angle lets them hit the unshielded second row or something?
>>
>>389978392
It's gotta be more like TW3, i.e. you're not the chosen one. (Yes, I know Geralt is a Mary Sue, but he's no Dragonborn).
>>
>>389979317
Maybe. Regardless, it is still not based on any style from any Ancient horse-based army, so to call it "wrong" is ridiculous.

Maybe it was part of ancient warfare, but it was so effective that everyone who faced it was completely destroyed by it and couldn't tell anyone? If they can lose the secrets of Greek Fire I wouldn't call it impossible.

Losing a formula known certain people is different from losing entire accounts of battles that could be seen by hundreds of thousands of people at a time.

>build up hundreds of characters to flesh out the universe
>have them all do something retarded in past 2 seasons as an excuse to kill them off
is there a bigger hack than Martin? I thought the whole selling point of the series is how unpredictable it was, yet it's been nothing but audience pandering since S4
>>
>>389980227
But Martin stopped working with the show after S4
>>
>>389980227
Maybe don't be so ignorant. Seasons 4 was the last of the show Martin wrote, it was handed over in full to d&d afterwards.

Don't get me wrong, I like Kaladin's plot devices as much as the next person but that old man can get you hype from words alone.
Also, funny to think that Sanderson is the polar opposite of G.R.R Martin according to/lit/'s guide to fantasy and sci fi.

Where is my Mistborn game?
Where is my (new) Wheel of Time game?

>>389953105
I want GoTfags to ask themselves what the game would even be like. You can't just do a retread of Skyrim and call it a day, people will just go play Skyrim
>>
>>389953105
>How would you make ASOIAF game?
I would go RTS like Age of Empies campaign mode

But I rather have an Action RPG Malazan game

>>389981442
And? It's still the showrunners filling in the details and not GRRM.

>>389965524
Yeah some anon posted links to his site, he did it for fun. (And for his portfolio.)

Books were good until book 4, then the pacing becomes atrocious
Show was good until season 4's first half.
>>
>>389968216
As much as I hate to say it, you're right.
GRRM couldn't even fill out the backstory enough himself and had to get help from other writers to make A history of whatever the fuck it is.
>>
>rich and deep lore

That's odd. I don't recall any tax policies being discussed in any of the writings that GRRM published for ASOIAF.

Red pill me on the Mistborn trilogy. I'm at the very last chapter of Way of kings and loving it, but I heard mistborn is way weaker since it was written before the stormlight archive.

Do you like anime?

>>389982369
You got your meme backwards anon your suppose to criticise ASOIAF for having tax policies not the other way around. Maybe wait a few threads and try again

No, I don't.

GRRM bitches about Tolkien not writing about Aragorn's tax policies, when he himself didn't do anything of the sort for ASOIAF.
