Now that season 6 of Game of Thrones has wrapped up, I figure it's time we talk about the possibilities of what could happen in season 2 of the Telltale Game. Feel free to leave your thoughts and theories down below! So I guess I'll start. I don't expect Rodrik/Asher to recover from the fall of Ironrath almost instantly, so I'm thinking Season 2 will start towards the end of season 5 of the TV show and end at some point during season 7. This way we could figure out ways the game could overlap with the TV show. Here are some of my ideas how: SPOILERS FOR SEASON 6 BELOW: Gared "encounters" The Three-Eyed Raven:
Since the Three-Eyed Raven is buys teaching Bran how to master his Warg powers, I don't think we'll be getting a physical encounter, more so maybe he'll appear to Gared in like a vision or something like that.
Gared meets up with Benjen before he finds Bran, or after he leaves Bran:
We know Benjen's out hunting White Walkers before he saves Bran, so that could give Gared time to see him for the good first half of season 6 if Telltale wanted. If not, he could encounter Benjen after he leaves Bran and Meera at the Wall.
Malcolm will be present during the Harpy's attack in Season 5 and/or during the Slave Masters' attack in Season 6:
Since we need a Essos POV for season 2, I think this would suffice. Both are major elements to the Meereen storyline, and Malcolm could be useful for players trying to understand this.
Rodrik/Asher will meet up with The Hound before he shows up in Season 6:
Rodrik/Asher are on the outskirts of Ironrath with Talia and Duncan/Royland/Gwyn, so it wouldn't be weird to say that they may bump in to old Sandor in their travels to rebuild the Forresters. If that's not the case...
Rodrik/Asher will be recruited by Jon to fight against Ramsay:
Okay, so there were clearly no Forrester sigils at the battle, but Jon could possibly recruit them to fight as a small militia force rather than as representatives of a house.
Rodrik/Asher (and possibly Talia) will somehow witness Ramsay's death:
Really got motivated to think about this thanks to Jayko's S2 AU. Just to see the look of satisfaction on their faces as their brother's murderer gets devoured by dogs would make me so happy.
And now for the final one...
Morgryn, Mira and determinately Sera and Tarwick will be killed by Cersei's Wildfire attack:
I mark Sera and Tarwick down as determinant because if Mira gets Sera fired then she would have no reason to go (so would Tarwick). This would be a pretty cool way to tie the show to the game IMO.

I hope they time skip to season 6, as not much happens in the North in season 5 beside the Sansa wedding, which doesn't really effect the Forresters. Now season 6 is a completely different animal, it has sweeping chances across the board. I feel like the end of season 5 and ending right before season seven AKA after BOTB sounds good. And yeah, they better be in that battle, I can see it, there were probably a lot of unnamed houses that fought. They just named the major houses that joined, not the minor houses that served them. Would be nice if we get a conversation with Ramsay right before the final moment. That would be great.

Why do people want the game to overlap with the show so much? The weakest points of season 1 IMO were:
a) Ramsay showing up in Ep4/5... "because Ramsay"
b) The Tyrion Deal plotline making Mira's storyline weak. If they'd stuck to the Damien thing all season instead of flip-flopping it wouldn't have been so dodgy of a storyline.
c) Jon being fairly OOC in regards to desertion. "No coming back from it," Jon? Even though you did it yourself and came back?
d) Margaery being a bitch all season.
Not to mention for the game to overlap with Season 7, we would have to wait until Season 7 is finished because Telltale doesn't get any info in advance. That's very likely part of the reason the game started during late S3 and ended in mid S4.
Also we know timeskips are a bad, bad idea from TWD2. We need to see the immediate aftermath of the battle, see Rodrik (or Asher) coping with their wounds. See how Sentinel and Talia try to look after him, and how the siege affected Talia's psychology, someone who was barely even seen in Ep6 but is currently the only able-bodied Forrester aside from Ryon (because knowing Telltale, Mira doesn't exist any more. She's in the void now).
My assumption is that Season Two will fill the same timespan as the first season, approximately six to nine months, from late Season Four to mid Season Five. If they throw in an episode or two they can take us up to the start of Season Six, but it really shouldn't matter as I hope the show characters were only to gather interest in the early parts of the game's lifespan, to win over show viewers who wouldn't look twice at the game because it was entirely original. Now those people are (hopefully) won over, we don't need the show characters (or locations, to be honest), to be a major thing. They can happen in the background, but only in the background. Ramsay can't be cropping up at Red Rob's farm and shanking Royland in the face "because Ramsay." We don't need the Sept of the BOTB, because this game is supposed to show something new. Why even make a new House if they're going to just use the show's plotline? We'd just be retreading the same ground. I'd prefer to see new locations and new characters I can be passionate about, not be shown places I've seen a billion times in the show already. Using the Wall as a device to get Gared to the North Grove was fine, using KL for Mira's Damien plot was fine, using the Twins to kickstart Rodrik & Ethan's plot was fine, but I just really don't want Jon and Ramsay coming up to our characters like "back to the show, now, lads. Stay in your boundaries." Season Two could be something very special if they branch out and play it a little less safer than they did in Season One.
Also I just wanna tackle this for a sec:
I don't understand the correlation to the AU here? Like, based on that TLDR rant I just went on about the show being too heavily relied on, you can probably guess that the BOTB won't factor into the AU at all. Nothing show based will, aside from an offhand mention of Roose or something.
My main point, besides there being no reasonable way any of those three could witness twatface mcgee's death unless they somehow drilled a hole into the wall of the kennels and watched through that, is that they wouldn't feel satisfaction. I just can't see Rodrik or Talia grinning as Twatface is torn to pieces. Rodrik doesn't grin while he's beating up Gryff, and he doesn't do it for the satisfaction of it. He doesn't even look happy when he cuts the twat's head off. It's all just duty in Rodrik's mind. Duty, balance and justice. He wouldn't get a sick kick out of it, and I don't think Talia would either. She's hell bent on duty and justice, with a slightly more dangerous hint of revenge, but she's never shown any sign of satisfaction when bad things happen to her enemies. She'd do anything to get justice, but she's definitely not Arya or anything; grinning as she slits a dude's throat.
As you can tell, I'm incredibly... passionate about this game. Passion is a dangerous thing when mixed into a cocktail with radio silence and lack of publicity for the thing you're passionate for.

IDK, I guess since you were getting more and more references with him in the AU, that just made me realize how much more I wanted that to happen. So I guess it wasn't the AU that made me want this, but just kind of reminded me that I wanted it to happen. Remember I made that right after Season 6 ended, so I was still kind of excited about the whole turn of events.
