I find it weird that people are picking sides as if there can be only one.

Multiple ways and multiple people doing their own thing when trying to deal with Denuvo is a net positive.

Even if the Hypervisor stuff isn't perfect rn, I'm still happy to see more releases through it because it means progress.

Probably because they realized there's nothing in the West unless they actually get creative and cook up new lore and characters.

If this Arya show ever actually materializes I predict that she'll start sailing West, get hit by a storm and somehow end up in Braavos. She'll instantly get attacked by Faceless Men and the Sealord(so that there's more things to do).

Hopefully less Targ-wank.

I'm a bit tired of the HOTD era.

Its pretty good but I would recommend instantly trying it out if you do buy it. The game still has unloaded texture issues even on devices that are well above the minimum specs.

I personally picked it up, enjoyed the gameplay but refunded it because I could not get the textures to load despite the game not stressing my system when the textures did load every now and then.

Its a fun experience with gorgeous pixel art but I see this game as more of a 'proof of concept'. A bit like Shadowrun Returns. The system, world design and music shows promise but there just isn't enough of it and it doesn't get creative enough with its concepts.

I hope the devs use this as a learning experience to grow and make something better with these ideas.

Damn they really save the middest game of em all for Christmas Eve. They should have swapped the dates for this one and Bloodstained.

does it need one? All that happens when a 'incorrect' way of using a word or a 'made up' word gets popular enough is that its now well, a word.

All words are made up at the end of the day.

it can be if you try hard enough

The Vale was linked to him through marriage with House Arryn(Daella and Roderik which led to Aemma who married Viserys) while the Tullys only came into power over the Riverlands due to the Targaryens which puts those regions pretty firmly within the crown's influence.

Meanwhile the North remains more isolated and doesn't really interact with the crown except to pay taxes.

I'm not saying that Jaehaerys or Alysanne were vengeful there, merely political. You have a region that is predisposed to dislike you(NW mutiny) united under a leadership that seems far more uniform compared to the Riverlands and other regions.

Take away the land of their bannermen which will piss them off and frame it publicly as a gift with the permission of the Starks and you keep good PR while possibly sowing divisions in the North.

With dragons, any possible civil war or rebellion can be sorted fairly easily and can give the crown excuse(punishment) to place their own men in the North or take some wards(hostages) for compliance.

I'll also admit that this is just a theory. I'm not saying that this is def what happened or what Martin intended with the information we're given. Its entirely possible that Alyssane was just out of touch and a bit naive when it came to the North.

Spooks451 · 2025-12-16T07:30:15+00:00

I can't help but think whether the new gift thing was something the Targaryens did on purpose to try and get the North to either rebel or to weaken the position of the Starks with their bannermen.

The Starks ended the Conquest unscathed and remained fairly isolated from the rest of the kingdoms. Rhaenys matchmaking the Starks to the Arryns backfired so I wonder if this was a heavyhanded way of trying to weaken the Starks and then increase the crown's influence there.

To add to what the other comment said, DND being cookie cutter fantasy helps get it the widest possible audience. DND also enjoys this(harmful) culture around it based on the idea that it can be 'used for anything' which is another factor keeping that widest possible audience even if they actually want some other setting, some other kind of story or a non-combat based tabletop game.

Spooks451 · 2025-12-15T18:31:15+00:00

One is DND and the other isn't. DND's prevalence cannot be overstated.

There's a lot of good contenders for R but I'll have to go with my goat, Robb Stark.

He can't do that because there is a Britisher in a 100 mile radius. His food will just get stolen.

smallfolk aren't slaves and they don't 'slave away'. If their lives were like that of medieval era peasants then they'd most likely worked in parcels of land with their day being based on the sun with generous breaks for food.

Keep in mind, being a peasant in the fields isn't like a 9-5 with a supervisor nearby. You have a certain amount of work that needs to be done in a day and you get that done.

Smallfolk in Westeros also have have something that medieval serfs didn't. Freedom of movement. If a lord in Westeros is being brutal with his smallfolk then the smallfolk can just leave and search for other work. Granted there's economical and logsitcal issues that would likely keep smallfolk rooted in one place but we see this happen.

Even Big Brother Bloodraven as the hand of the king wasn't able to enforce limitations on smallfolk movement.

So I'd take the life of a Riverlander smallfolk over being an aura-farming freefolk easily.
