Wow! Im a game of thrones fan, but I dont think that is necessary to enjoy this game. The storyline is a side feature and you make decisions within detailed circumstances. Outside of this, the characters you play and work with make it a great RPG/strategy game. I never have to spend money, which is HUGE. Rarely do I find games that dont require $$$ to continue to play. I highly recommend. To developer: I would greatly appreciate being able to listen to my music/audiobooks while I play. This would increase the amount of time I play - sometimes just checking in is a pain because it cuts off what Im listening to. This is really my only complaint!
