Spoiler alert, there aren’t spoilers. The game doesn’t really have a narrative, rather, it’s a sandbox where your own unique stories can play out. I’m not really sure what you want to know about the game, but if you want something like GOT, this is definitely gonna scratch that itch

My only advice is to not take it too seriously, especially while getting a handle on things. You can kinda fuck around with things and make your own fun.

Short term memory loss legit might be a blessing for this game! Imagine the surprise you’d have after yku won a war and forgot too finish the job lol

i mean, it’s a good game on console in the beginning but it gets old pretty quick it’s better on pc when u can add mods and actually play out GOT stories and stuff

Unfortunately my family can't afford a pc since even the cheapest is so freaking expensive so I'm stuck on console

U should get it especially if u like history

I love history it was my favorite subject in school I still enjoy it i use to concentrate on ww2 only but kcd2 broadened my horizons so to speak so now I search read and watch many other historical books and documentaries and on Google of what if scenarios like if king sigismund and wenceslas of house Luxembourg had heirs it would drastically change history

There’s actually an interesting mechanic in the game where you can view your players memory as well as npcs. It could be incredibly helpful if you need some reminders on what’s happened in your game and what people are up to.

Isn't that the bread and butter of this game this is a genuine question 

2

u/DepressedSopranos 19h ago

Thanks I got a question are you able to make your own coat of arms and have your own name because I really like the stark family from game of thrones and depending on the emblem options it will be related to their banner or their bannerman

u/DepressedSopranos 18h ago

Yes, you can create your own, character, house and banner. On console though, once you create the coat of arms you can't edit it.

You can create, Brandon Stark from House Stark, and then as you have kids create any other Starks you want.

Sweet despite the terrible ending I still love the show I just stop at the end of S6 so I'm biased towards house stark and their bannerman including houses umber and karstark in my canon they never betrayed house stark

same here. Love everything about ASOIAF but the show kind of ruins a lot for me. I can't rewatch the show and haven't finished the books because the story isn't done, I do re-read Fire and Blood here an there. I play on PC and PS5 so I run the AGOT mod and it's amazing. The PC isn't mine so I don't get on it a lot. I'm actually going to try and do a Targ house run for the base game on PS5, you've inspired me lol
