Ultimately, no matter how you play any character, none of your decisions have any weight whatsoever.Īgain, it depends how you view it. Since the game keeps moving the goal posts back every time you make plot progress, and since you're not even getting the satisfaction of watching consistent, interesting, character growth because the plot needs the characters to fail and they end up passing the idiot ball around like a hot potato, the lack of "options" in GoT is particularly noticeable, and it ends up feeling like a rail-roaded campaign with a mean ass DM. Unfortunately, where in the other games the plot served character development, here it ends up with the point of the game not being "What would be an interesting way to play this character" but "Will this help getting Ironwrath back". The problem with GoT, however, is that you have a very clearly defined external, RPG style goal that you're working towards. In the end though- I don't see how there's anything different between those and any other game without multiple endings, or any adventure game ever made. With Borderlands they've actually done a good amount of branching scenes where different things will happen (going with the girls or meeting them there, etc) so that even if it ends up in the same place it ends up feeling satisfying and again the "plot" is more of an excuse to move the characters around and have fun set-pieces and learn lessons about friendship (or don't, I guess. In Wolf Among Us but the point isn't the end game- it's how much of a beast you'll be to get there. In Season 2, again, you have ostensible goals but the real meat of it is Clem's character growth and what you choose to make her.

In Walking Dead 1/2 and the Wolf Among Us the character arc is the story- sure Lee kinda has an outside goal -the heart of the story is his relationship with Clem. I think it's a problem that's really obvious with the GoT game is how they chose to focus it.
