Doesn't this game remind anyone of Game of Thrones?

Post » Sat May 12, 2012 1:41 am

The art style, environment, personalities, humor, and even parts of the story of this game reminds me of the show Game of Thrones. It's probably one of my favorite shows, as well as this being my favorite game of all time. But, does this game remind anyone else of GoT?

Game of Thrones isn't a game :P (well I think there is one, but its horrible). I believe his talking about the TV show

And to answer your question, yes it does, and its definitely only serves to make the experience even more epic :)

The first season of the show was good, but the books are 100 times more amazing.

I can't argue there. I started reading the first novel of the series until I found out there were Elder Scrolls novels. For some reason I never went back to the Game of Thrones book.

Maybe not, but it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCruJzlWefE.

(Be warned, the video has some questionable content, but we're talking about an HBO show here, so what do you expect?)

I don't see anything particulary Game of Thrones-esque. Apart from the snow that is.

They made a TV show and suddenly everyone is yapping about how every medieval fantasy setting resembles Game of Thrones this, Game of Thrones that. The novel has been released in 1996.

Slaves of television. Too dumb to find and read a proper fantasy novel.

Why does everyone say that about everything they put on film?

It also takes 100 times longer go to read a book.
That means books have to keep you entertained for a much longer period of time.
This is why everyone thinks "the book is better".

The first reply the guy said he hadn't heard of that game :P I was simply telling him that it wasn't a game you were talking about :)

Cool story bro. I was only referring to the way it was visually portrayed in the TV show.

Your loss, because the Song of Ice and Fire series is one of the best series of novels I've ever read.

To answer the OP yes I can see some connections to ASoIaF.

1. Biggest connection, dragons have returned. In ASoIaF they are little, and there are only 3. Even in A Dance with Dragons they are a lot larger but still small, not yet the epic size of a dragon.

2. The king is dead, and civil war has spread throughout the realm. Now the war in Skyrim isn't the war of 5 kings like in ASoIaF, but it's still similar. The death of the king, and Eddard, and the rise of a boy king who's legitimacy is called into question leads to civil war in ASoIaF.

3. Dragon Born reminds me of the Targaryen's who have within them the blood of dragons. There are no shouts in ASoIaF though, but there is a language dragons can be taught things in. Daenarys demonstrates this in A Storm of Swords. Dracarys!

4. The overall setting of Skyrim brings to mind the realm of Westeros. This could be because I've recently read all the books in the series, and I maybe superimposing what I imagine to be Westeros on to Skyrim.

5. Drauger's though they appear in Norse mythology which is what the Nords/Skyrim are based on, they remind me of the White Walkers, more specifically the Wights that the White Walkers turn people into. Blue eyes, pale skin, walking dead.

6. You could say the Dark Brotherhood are kind of similar to The Faceless Men in ASoIaF, since they are basically assassins, and give people the gift of death.

7. This isn't too big of a connection, but giants are also in ASoIaF, and they ride mammoths. The giants in ASoIaF are a lot more hairy than the giants in Skyrim.

There is one that involves a similarity with Ulfric, but I won't mention it because I don't know how to use spoiler tags on here, and don't want my post deleted.

I'm sure I could come up with more, if I thought about it for a while.

Didn't see any briasts, six, romance, brothels and scantily clad women yet. So no, reminds me more of Harry Potter.

No, not really.

GoT involves the entirety of that fantasy world. Skyrim is about... Skyrim. The equivalent of Winterfell, perhaps, but it doesn't matter.

GoT kicks ass, and so does TES V. But they're not really comparable.

I saw the show thought I was amazing read the first and second books, they were better so I read the third and now I'm on the fourth, the books are better

I see similarities with Game Of Thrones;

Snow
Dragonborn (Khalise ;)
Hopefully dragons in Second Season
Apparel
Weapons
Werewolves in Skyrim, Night Watchers in GOT
Music

It surely did remind me of Game Of Thrones.

Khaleesi just means queen of the Dothraki. Doesn't have a dragon soul or anything. Just thought I'd point that out.

Anyway it has a few slight similarities but I'm really hoping for mods expanding on it.

Most of those seem like pretty vague similarities.

Did you ever watch Game Of Thrones? (Dont read the rest, SPOILERSSSSSS!) in the last episode, Khaleesi does not burn because she have dragon blood in it. Means she is a dragonborn. Correct me if I am mistaken...
