Game of Thrones - Combat Walkthrough Video

Head to Rock, Paper, Shotgun for a Game of Thrones combat walkthrough video. This is worth a look if you are following this game, as it shows the active-pause real-time combat system in reasonable detail.
More information.

looks like shit. won't touch it.

I don't think it looks bad at all. In fact, it looks much better than I was expecting. This reminds me of Dragon Age: Origins.

I'm curious about the party size though. That footage only shows control over two characters and a dog(?). If we can have a full party of at least four characters, I'll definitely give this game a shot.

I was somewhat interested until i read in that article that the game is and RPG in the same vein as Dragon Age 2.

Don't mind the visuals but they aren't good enough to sell well, especially the animations, and the game's out in 2 months? Not all fantasy IPs have fans as blind as star wars/lotr.

The whole 2 main preset characters thing possibly kills it for me, I want one protagonist of my own making.

Having 2 main characters like they do in this game does fit in with the books well though and the graphical style as well so it seems they are doing things right related to the books.

This game is actually surprising me with how solid it's starting to look, and as JDR pointed out, it reminds me of DA:O. I must have missed it somewhere along the line, but I was not aware that the combat was going to be in this style. I'm beginning to cautiously look forward to playing this.

I agree w/ the DA:O look, which isn't entirely a bad thing. Something to keep our eyes on, for sure.

Hmm… I foresse some polygonal carnage just like DA:O - let's just hope it does well its job, although I'm a bit skeptical…

Hey this is actually starting to be somewhat interesting! If the story/writing is decent it may actually be worth keeping an eye on…

Water Dancer and Night's Watch as playable classes?

Where do I pre-order?

I'm not familiar with the show but if it plays similar to DAO ( not DA2) I'd be interested. It's a pleasant surprise though as I had no interest until seeing the combat.

I would have preferred actual pause though, seems like your skills will be limited to how many slots you have on your radial wheel which could be disappointing. I'm guessing this is a controller support thing.

Read the novels first.

ASOIAF is hands down the greatest series of fantasy novels, better than LOTR IMO.
