Hey youtubers it’s Charlie, I snagged a bunch of your questions from my Telltale Games
video.
I picked a mixture of game, book and show ones.
Generally you guys all seemed pretty pumped about it.
Like I said once the game actually drops in December I’ll probably use it for a weekly
giveaway on my video game channel in addition to the book giveaway here on my main channel.
Also, I forgot to mention it, but the actor that plays Syrio Forel was just cast in Star
Wars Episode 7.
So that’s two Game of Thrones actors, because remember Gwendolyne Christie is also in it.
I just did a big update for it so there will be a link in the description for that.
Syrio Forel though, probably got cast as a Jedi, you don’t cast a water dancer if you
don’t want him to dance.
There are so many God of Death jokes you could make in the star wars universe since Jedi
can transcend physical form.
But on to questions!
1 - Edward asks how closely will the game be tied to season 5?
The game and the show will be separate, they probably consulted each other a little just
to see what things the show decided to include next year, but the game is designed so that
the story isn’t super dependent on what goes down on the show.
They didn’t make it so you have to watch the show to understand the game and you don’t
have to buy the game to understand the show.
The same is true for the books.
It will be a little closer to the show than the Walking Dead game is.
But don’t expect to be hanging out with the main characters the whole time.
And remember, decisions you make will affect later interactions you have.
So You could turn the tide of a battle based on which options you take.
2 - Vladimir asks will the game be free?
Only if you win one of my giveaways, seriously though.
It’s way cheaper than a typical console game.
In the United States for example, Destiny on Xbox is about 60 US Dollars.
The Walking Dead Telltale Game in comparison is only 25 US Dollars.
You can buy a season pass to get all future episodes.
Those are the content patches where they roll out new story.
That’s an extra $15 US Dollars.
Game Of Thrones will pretty much be the exact same price.
I’ll be playing the Steam Version, just because it’s more convenient, but which
ever country you live in.
How ever much the walking dead game is, that’s how much game of thrones will cost.
They haven’t confirmed the number of episodes per season, but I’d expect it to be on par
with Walking Dead.
There were five episodes during season 2 this year.
3 - Space Gypsy asks are you implying you’re Jon Snow?
I’m not sure what your talking about but I do have the same birthday as Kit Harington.
4 - Tom Monty asks what date will Season 5 air in the UK?
Pretty much the same weekend Season 4 aired.
In the US that was April 6th, the first Sunday in April.
So 2015 would make that April 5th.
I know international time zones make it weird, but plan on the same premiere as last year.
They might bump it by a week.
It won’t premiere till after True Detective Season 2 finishes it’s run.
So depending on when that premieres, it might make them move Game of Thrones a little.
They also premiered all the big trailers for Season 4 during True Detective Episodes.
So once that show comes back, we’ll start getting the big season 5 trailers.
5 - Paul Long asks, do you think a spoilery battle in the game will go down the same way
it does in the books?
I omitted the name just in case people skipped the spoiler section in my earlier video.
Yes, the big Winds of Winter battle.
If the game goes that far it will depend entirely on the decisions you make.
Remember it’s choose your own adventure, so you could completely derp big battles or
make all the right choices that make you win.
Once the game gets closer to release we’ll probably have a better idea for the narrative
arc.
I don’t think it will be exactly like the show or the books.
I will do more preview videos for the story when they give us more info.
6 - Matas asks Do you think Oberyn Poisoned Tywin before his death?
No, but only because The Mountain was the first person on his shit list.
Tywin was on his list, he just wasn’t the first person.
Had Oberyn lived, eventually he would have totally killed Tywin.
Presumably with his spear in the most painful way possible.
Just run him through from the bottom end up.
7 - Joe Byrne asks do you have a favorite book in the series and could you rank them?
It’s been a little while since I finished book 5 but I’d say that one.
Dance with Dragons was the first book that I anticipated, having read all the other books.
Like if you started the series when the first book was published in 1996.
You’d get to experience that long wait and the crazy rush when they finally release it.
I expect that when winds of winter is released, the trend will continue and that book will
be my new favorite.
But ranking all the books so far starting with best to less best.
I wouldn’t say any of them are bad.
But Book 5, Book 4, Book 1, Book 2 and Book 3.
Really it’s been so long since I’ve read them that some of the events bleed together
in my brain.
Mostly right now my brain is on books 4 and 5 because of where the show is.
A lot of times I have to go back and reference the books if I forget when something happened.
I’ll probably re-read book 4 and 5 before next year though.
8 - Justin Wang asks could you do a Room Tour Video?
Yes, I can’t remember which video, but I did promise a room tour once it starts looking
like an actual place.
Right now it’s still a bunch of boxes.
I’d expect that to happen before October.
So not too long.
Definitely before I hit 500K subs.
I am planning a different special thing for that event.
9 - Sheam cc asks, do you think Theon could be Azor Ahai?
Right now based on the information we have I think it’s Daenerys.
She is the closest thing to an avatar of fire.
That might change based on what happens during Winds of Winter.
But unless things take a dramatic left turn I already have my ideas for who the champions
of ice and fire will be.
It’s all in my White Walker Prophecy Video.
I’ll add a link to that in the description if you want to learn more about it.
I think Theon will be important.
But mostly during the big spoiler battle in Winds of Winter I talked about earlier today.
10 - Kevin asks is it true that the actor playing Jaqen H’Gar is coming back to the
show?
If so will he play the Kindly Man?
Yes it is true that the actor playing Jaqen is back, since the show is going to be different
from the books I think he could be a version of the Kindly Man.
But if you’re a book reader and it sounds like your are, I really think Jaqen is the
Alchemist. and the Kindly Man is someone totally different.
The show does tend to combine book characters a lot, so it’s possible Jaqen could become
an amalgam of a couple of the Faceless Men characters.
For those that don’t know, the Kindly Man is one of the Faceless Men that has an implied
leadership role in their order.
The Faceless Men are the order of assassins Jaqen belongs to.
I already did a video explaining them so I’ll add a link in the description for that too.
Since I originally planned to do a Faith Militant video last week I’ll just make that my next
bonus video.
They the militarized arm of the church of the seven and they’ll probably be featured
in Season 5.
Be sure to subscribe to get that.
Congratulations to this weeks giveaway winner.

Next round of the giveaway starts when i post my next bonus video.
