10 Video Game Cliffhangers That Will Never Be Resolved
2. Game Of Thrones: A Telltale Series
While the story itself is twisty-turny and enjoyable in that Game of Thrones sort of way, actually playing through Telltale's adaptation of the famous TV show is a miserable experience. Absolutely nothing goes your way, and by the end of the game, pretty much everyone you care about is dead, or in a horrible position.
Still, it's engaging stuff. The series has you playing as the Forrester clan, a family based in the fortress of Ironrath in the North of Westeros - and, as already mentioned, things do not go well for you. Young Ethan is killed at the end of episode one, Ironrath is invaded by the vile Whitehills, and it's revealed that one of your closest advisers has been a traitor all along. Not cool.
By the end of the game, things get even worse. Either Asher or Rodrik - the game's two primary heroes - will be killed (along with Lady Forrester), Ironrath becomes a crumbling warzone, and the few characters left standing are forced to flee the scene. Whoever doesn't die out of Asher or Rodrik is left wounded - but alive - riding off into the distance and reuniting with the few allies he has left.
But maybe things will look brighter in the sequel...? Actually, scratch that. While a followup was in development at one point, it's now dead as a result of the closure of Telltale Games roughly a year ago (the Telltale brand was recently resurrected, but the Game of Thrones license is no longer in play). It's a shame too, because along with Tales From the Borderlands, Game of Thrones is most in need of a sequel out of all the company's games.
Will Asher/Rodrik be able to exact revenge on the Whitehills? Will he even survive his injuries? Will House Forrester be able to make a comeback? The answers to all of these questions, and more, will remain mysteries.
