The Walking Dead is a well written and directed adventure game. If you like that sort of thing, it will get you feels. If you don't like that sort of thing, still give the demo a try. I loved it, personally. It's my kind of thing and I really like games like that.

Stannis Stans please come support the true king of the seven kingdoms.

This could be very good. I haven't played TWD obviously but I heard it offers a lot of decision choices. Having that same type of depth in a GoT game could be awesome, although honestly I hope you can't play major characters. I'd like to be a smaller lord or knight deciding whether or not to support my liege lord, which house to join, etc.

TWD had a lot of choices, and they gave you a good degree of control over your path through the game, but there are a lot of hard points that are the same no matter what. Your choices will color the context but the story has a beginning middle and end.

This is correct. I wanted the cute computer nerd to live but he still dies no matter the choice you make outside of saving him or the reporter. They're both redshirts in the end.

Doesn't mean the journey in Walking Dead isn't fun to go through, however. It was. But people hyping the choices: It's just like Mass Effect, flavor that didn't matter.

Are there a lot of hard points in TWD that cannot be altered? I realize they probably need some to be standard to fit the narrative of the game but I'd hope most people could die.

In TWD, you come across a specific thing. Oh let's say, someone leaves a shit load of food and clothing in a car, your group decides to steal it. Doing this will affect the short term, in that your group is well fed for a few months, but it will resurface later because you did it. However, the narrative will have replaced you stealing food for something else, and the same outcome will happen. In TWD, you can stop things, even delay things, but the overall plot doesn't change because you CANNOT change the inevitable. This makes it personal, while at the same time, capable of telling a well rounded story that everyone experiences. It makes concessions, but I think it works really well.

Probably 4 or 5 per episode, each episode is about 2 hours. There are varying degrees of "altered" too I would say.

It's a really fun experience, don't get me wrong. But you won't be choosing which flag to follow if it's anything like TWD.

They'll likely have a main character for each faction (Dany, Stannis, Stark, Lannister, Greyjoy, Martell, Crow, someone in Bravos, and a low born - hopefully a farmer) who is a - canon-wise - not involved  in the main story and it'll switch to different characters as the story demands it. So like, I don't expect to play as Ned Stark or Tyrion. But maybe someone close to them or who has relations.

I really want a character who runs the Inn at the Crossroads. I want the game to accurately show - like the books - that it doesn't matter who holds the throne, as the lower class people are fucked as the lordlings fight over a seat of iron.

Game of Thrones adventure? Sounds awesome! They'll beat GTA V for "multiple perspective storytelling" if for no other reason than the player's character will be killed off at the end of each chapter.

People will die, make no mistake. There is a lot of redshirts in the game. It's just the choices matter as little as Mass Effect's: Flavor text that makes it feel personal but isn't meaningful in the huger picture.

I'm hoping you control a small band of saleswords or maybe a captain with a dozen soldiers under his command or something like that, you can't stop Robb Stark from capturing Jaime or Stannis from losing the battle of the Blackwater but your choices decide who lives or dies from you little group and how much favor and money you get from you lords.

Thanks for the spoiler, jerk!

Sorry, man. That's one of the minor ones.

Here's a flowchart that MAJOR spoilers about the choices you make. They matter little: http://venturebeat.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/the-walking-dead-graph-by-gamesbeat.jpg

I'm feeling a similar flow chart for this.
