I'm really happy about both.
I'm hoping they will stay away as far from novel characters as possible for the Song of Ice and Fire, something like GoT RPG.
For Borderlands, it seems they wanted to bring Handsome Jack back without breaking the story, and that writing/voice acting deserves another go around imho.

And the RPG game of the year is…. uhh, you don't want to know.

I recently played through the Walking Dead. It was pretty good (I have never even seen the TV series). Telltale knows how to spin a yarn, and the C&C was decent even if most of the choices were cosmetic. It's good to see a modern adventure game studio thriving out there.
