A diamond that is not polished, but still shines Game of thrones delivers in almost every way any AAA developer could only hope to succeed. Developed prior to the GOT phenomenon Cyanide stuidos should be given a LOT of credit for the first real game entry into the GOT world. I would comapre GOT to Dragon Age 2 in a lot of its negative ways(Linear, lack of locations) but equal in RPG elements, strong characters, fun gameplay but far superior in story and structure. I am no GOT expert. I have not watched the series, or read the books but this now has me more interested than ever before.
The real game is now behind the scenes for the GOT license. Does Cyanide secure, or does Bethesda, Bioware or Paradox who has been coming on strong get into the game?

Warning: To fully enjoy you have to be willing to immerse yourself into this world like reading a book. If only here for the combat, look elsewhere.

Positives:
One of the best RPG stories from start to finsih in the last 10 years
Great RPG elements and level up system
Main character voice acting
Dark, mature story
One of the absolute worst villans in recent memory
Satisfying and fair combat(keeping everyone alive)
I actually read a lot of codex. I never read codex.
Finishing moves cringe worthy
Didnt see that, or that coming

Negatives:
A common trait with deep RPGs a lot of systems that are not fully realized, or useable
Minor balancing issues void the use of potions and poisons
A very slow start-10 hours before the action starts
Side charcter voice acting on some occasion is laughable
Map on the main screen frustrating
Its just plain ugly at first but actually after a while doesnt matter.
Late side missions are out of place and unneccesary
Lack of weapon variety
