According to the official Wiki page, as of this writing, players made the following decisions: What happened to Beskha’s former master? However, Beskha’s confrontation with her former slave master garnered one of the most disputed choices of Telltale’s entire game. I’ve seen the percentages skew pretty drastically in one direction over another when the results are listed at the conclusion of every episode. In general, when faced with difficult decisions such as these throughout Game of Thrones, there is more or less one constant: most people choose the merciful and/or “lawful” option when dealing with a bad situation. Are you willing to risk the good graces of the Mother of Dragons and the Forrester family line on that supposed trust? You can truly rely on so few people in this game, which makes Beskha’s storyline all the more difficult to play through. You’re forced to leave Malcolm behind on this venture, which really allowed the player to explore the friendship between Asher and Beskha, and to call into question just how much they can really trust each other. It serves to make an already deadly, reckless mission even more complex. We learn after Asher agrees to help Daenerys take the city of Mereen that Beskha not only once lived there, she was enslaved. I’m only here to praise the ladies and remind you of the utter badassery that their storylines entail.īeskha’s story was, by far, the most gut-wrenching of the entire episode. Telltale has this episodic game well in hand.
For once, I’m deeply satisfied with the work these developers are obviously punching in to craft such a satisfying experience for a diverse gaming community. It was nail-biting without being heavy-handed, which is a delicate enough balance to keep given the often sensationalized melodrama that is the HBO show. If you purchase no other Game of Thrones episode from Telltale, I highly recommend that you play through this one. We saw less of Rodrik to make way for major decisions made by Elaena and Gwyn, Asher’s plight took a few steps back so that Beskha could step forward, and Mira has all but eclipsed the narratives of anyone lingering in the shadows of King’s Landing.
If I had to pick only one episode that represented women’s stories the most and with such fervid candor, I’d pick this one without question. Let me say this before we really dig into the fleshy bits of Telltale’s newest addition to the game: it’s ironic this episode is titled “Sons of Winter,” because it heralded some of the finest moments of in-game lady power to date. Two very different teams are working on both productions, and just because the show isn’t living up to four seasons of expectation doesn’t mean I won’t enjoy the little game on my iPhone! I’d be lying if I said I didn’t get a thrill when I heard the release date for “Sons of Winter” announced, and with that in mind, I loaded up the well-loved app to check back in with the women kicking ass in Westeros-hopefully with some agency, too, but I wasn’t holding my breath on that front. While my initial adoration of HBO’s Game of Thrones has begun to fade to disappointment and disgust with the fifth season, I pushed myself to approach Telltale’s next installment with an open mind.
Surprise, surprise! It’s actually time for “ Women of Westeros” again.
