25 Most Tragic Deaths In Video Game History

12. Ethan Forrester - Game Of Thrones

Game of Thrones has become synonymous with tragedy, a fact that Telltale Games didn€™t forget when taking on the franchise themselves. The series opens with the death of the lord and firstborn son of House Forrester, after which all the responsibilities of securing the safety of the family falls on young Ethan, a mere child. Ethan does the best he can, but in the end he dies at the hands of the vile Ramsay Snow, who sticks a dagger in his throat for standing up to him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNgAS9nwdrE Ethan, like so many of the honorable men of the north, didn€™t deserve to die so soon. But as Game of Thrones so often likes to point out, the more willing you are to do terrible things without scruple, the greater chance you have of surviving. It is unfair and unjust, which is what makes Ethan€™s death so awful.
