I mean it’s pretty shit storytelling if a preview did a better job of illustrating her madness than the actual show. 

Ok but going by her own words “they can live in my new world or they can die in their old one” they had literally just surrendered so that they could live in hers. The guards had laid down their arms before the bells were even rung. Even then, she knows that the citizens of Kings Landing had nothing to do with it yet…

This is Game of Thrones. I fully understand having Dany go off the deep end and become the Mad Queen. But there wasn’t enough to justify it. Even her father, likely one of the craziest and evilest people in the entire history of Westeros, refrained from killing all of the people in King’s Landing until after he had…

Yeah because this show has totally glossed over evil rulers and tyrants and whatnot. 

There is a vast, vast gulf between killing a couple of leaders that turned against you/killing a slaver population and murdering an entire city full of ostensibly your subjects because... why exactly? This is the woman who locked away her 3 children because one of them accidentally killed one child, who refrained…

The most fucked up part is that somehow Euron knew to pull her and her alone out of the water and capture her, even though he’s never seen her before and has no clue of her importance. 

Apparently they can reload those massive ballista instantly considering the autofire that was happening in her direction. Also they can apparently fire them straight through rocks considering Dany didn’t have line of sight to them until after they came around the corner yet they still hit Rhaegal. 

Worst and most dire? The main characters had so much plot armor they might as well have put it in the plot it was so obvious. Numerous times we see the characters surrounded by hundreds of white walkers only to cut back to them and see there’s only maybe a dozen. Jon Snow standing in the middle of the field with all…

To be clear, I’m not super miffed about it having been spoiled for me since I already had it spoiled by a friend the day of (and as you said it’s not exactly unexpected). I just want to make it clear that while there is an amount of time at which spoilers are acceptable, two days after a movie comes out is not it. 

I have midterm exams this week. This is the one break I’ve taken and someone spoils it on a GoT thread. 

Nope, I honestly think he’s gone. They have 3 more episodes left and they still have to fight Cersei. There’s no way they could bring back the Night King. 

Totally agree. Watching at the end with all of the dead attacking the few remaining people left and somehow all of them are main characters that somehow haven’t died yet made it feel really cheap. 

It’s been two days. There is 100% still a moratorium on spoilers. 

That cannot hold a candle to any of the battles in Lord of the Rings. 

I don’t understand why games like this even bother having open worlds if they’re terrible to explore. Sure it’s “realistic” but you can’t engage with it in any meaningful way. 

We’re all glad for your input.

Totally disagree. I played through blind the first time and apart from the Demon of Hatred and somewhat the guardian ape all of the bosses were beaten with some light item use and getting good at parrying. Unless you want each battle to take an hour, I never sprinted in and out like I have with a lot of Dark Souls…

Gaslighting isn’t willfully lying. That’s just deception. Gaslighting is manipulating someone’s environment until they question their own sanity.

Great comment, really insightful.

Maybe it’s just because I’m playing on console, but it never seems like I never have a chance to win. I think a better change would be to match up people who are in parties rather than matching people who are just with randos.
