A Game Of Thrones: Genesis - Introduction

Let me preface this by saying I fucking love A Song Of Ice & Fire! Seriously, the books, the television series, the fandom, which is why it baffles me that it seems completely impossible to create a decent video game around it. Between this and Game of Thrones (an action-RPG), the only truly amazing Game of Thrones game is a mod for an existing game, but I'll tell that story when the game comes up.

Robert Baratheon - The Epitome Of Ruggedness!

I have played some of Genesis, when I first bought it, and, in truth, the ideas in the game seem really interesting and true to the backstabbing and politics shown in the source material, but they are just so poorly executed! 

There are some positives, the problem is that none of them relate to the gameplay in anyway. I like that it is based on the books, not the television series (but does take some...questionable liberties with it), and it's a nice look at the biggest events in the history of the story and how the land of Westeros became what it was at the beginning of A Game of Thrones.

So, without further ado, I shall begin playing this terrible, terrible game...wish me luck!
