If this becomes a reality, I will gladly shell out for it. If anyone has read George R.R. Martin‘s A Song of Fire and Ice series, then you will understand how much of an undertaking will be required to make this video game. There are so many characters, factions, storylines and locales in this series that it would be a challenge to keep them all straight.
Nice thing is, though, the company making this game has already got the plot laid out for them. I just wonder how it will be done. Will you be able to play from a selection of characters, or will your participation be pre-chosen? Or perhaps you’ll become a wholly new character inserted into the storyline to play alongside the rest. I’m expecting a good bit of swordplay, but I wonder if the more subtle magical elements will become an expanded system you can use.
Can’t wait. But I guess I’ll have to.
I see that smile.
*flaily-flail*
Ooh, that would be cool!
And maybe, in the game, the characters you like won’t end up dead. That’s never a sure bet with GRRM himself!
Maybe you start out as a main character, and then just keep switching to new ones as they die off. It’d provide some nice variety.
