I saw it. The guy I watched attacked Ludd, and for a second, I thought all the deaths that followed were for real.

Damn, that was a good episode. I hated Mira's segments before because they were boring- and yeah, they still kind of are- but holy shit, Mr. I-can't-remember-his-name-but-he's-the-guy-who-has-that-Lannister-guy-working-for-him Andros is gathering an army of sellswords for Ludd to attack the Forresters! Beating the shit out of Gryff and then spitting on him felt great. Even though I know it's going to come back to bite me in the ass, as things like this always do in these games. To be honest, I thought the "deal" with Ryon was going to turn out much worse. I thought Ludd was going to say "Okay, now that the deal's settled, bring the boy in!" and he'd be dead or blind or heavily beaten or something. Choices: I'm wondering what the "Encounter" with Finn is. If I missed out on an opportunity to beat him up I will be fucking pissed because I've wanted to do that since episode one. Also, I actually fucking hate Sera, but I kept her secret because I might be able to use it to blackmail her later. also, best dialogue option in the game goes to:

Encountering Finn would be at the beginning when escaping Castle Black. In my game Finn showed up s me and Cotter were about to slip out of the Castle, gave me a sword, then I had a choice to bring Finn with us North of the wall or not. Does Finn like you at all? Because at the beginning he vouched for me when Frostfinger got pissed and said Britt attacked first. Me and Finn are bros.

HOLY FOOKIN SHIT.
-Took Finn with me and Cotter -Beat the living shit out of Gryff and knocked him out -Kept the Glenmores at Ironrath and brought Royland with. -At first I told Royland to attack Ludd. I was freaking the fuck out at what happened when I chose this. Royland threw an axe at Ludd's head, killing him. Royland got a sword in the back, and Lady Forrester was shot with a crossbow and so was Rodrik like five fucking times. I was relieved to know that was just a game over and accepted Ludd's deal. -Killed the slave guy myself. I dunno why, I just didn't know what else to do.
HOLY FUCK THO
RAMSAY
SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT

CHOICES! Brought Finn along. I'm also glad that I had the option to say Gared was going to return to make good on his vows.
I only hit Gryff three times. Just to get it out of my system.
Didn't reveal Sara was a bastard. I hate lying, but telling the truth would be throwing her under the bus, especially when she redirected Margery for me.
Found out Andros's secret.
Called Ludd on his bluff. I initially ordered an attack, and I honestly thought that I just lost the entire freaking game.
Also, I cheared when Ryon said "IRON FROM ICE" as he was being taken away.
Brought Duncan with me to Ironrath.
Kissed Elana.
Brought the Glennmore troops to high point.
I had the medical stuff from episode 1, so I could help Cotter with his wounds.
I stayed hidden, like Cotter suggested.
Told Talia to look for the traitor. As much as I think Talia would be a good Lady of Ironrath, I didn't feel right dumping that responsibility on her until I've trained her a bit more.
Kept Beskha from killing her former master. She hadevery right too, and I plan on asking Dany to let her kill him specifically after the mission. But I wasn't going to let Malcolm and my family die for her revenge.
Didn't shoot the wildling that took our food. It's not like we had much left anyways.
Thoughts Where the fuck is everyone at Ironrath? What did Ramsey mean when he said he did a good job?
Also ,like half the people here, I called that we'd be called by Cersei to testify against Tyrion from episode 1.
I have to say that this was my favorite episode in the series so far.

But I've been waiting for your post. I really want to hear your thoughts and everything. No sarcasm, genuinely interested. Might as well post my stuff in the meantime: DEM CHOICES:
In addition to these: Took Duncan with me to Highpoint because I don't trust him and wanted to keep my eye on him. I don't trust Lady Forrester either, so in my mind I was walking into the heart of the enemy with zero backup alongside the two people I suspected most of working against me for said enemy. What the fuck is wrong with me. Didn't kill the Wildling that stole our food. I hate onions anyway, good riddance IMO. Kissed Elaena because true love. Kept hiding when Cotter was getting roughed up. He told me to do it. I don't know what he was thinking, trying to talk to a Wildling while wearing the uniform of the people pledged to kill all Wildlings. Seriously dude? Called Ludd on his bluff like a complete boss. I can't understand why anyone would attack him. At the very least that's a wonderful way to get Ryon killed, not that I care too much about him but still. To clarify, I only maimed Gryff to the point where he was blinded (I'm a real stand up guy, I know), and stopped after that. I would have kept going had I thought he would die but that's when it became obvious that he'd live no matter what and, having gotten that out of my system, just walked away. And so, my thoughts: The Episode was... alright, but at a couple points I got frustrated because of the meaningless choices. I still had a sour taste in my mouth from the poor handling of Britt and the way they forced you to get in good with Tyrion just before he's accused of killing Joffrey in the previous Episode so the railroading in this Episode became much more apparent to me. Like being forced to take Gryff hostage and agree to a hostage trade for Ryon. I don't want to do that, because again, I don't care about Ryon enough to give up literally the only leverage we have over the Whitehills. Go ahead, call me a monster again, but I see literally no reason why I should get Ryon back.
Also, I can't say that I'm pleased to have Ramsey back to fuck with us. There's literally nothing we can do because he's protected by the canon, making him invincible to us until he fucks off back to the show. I'm sure that in the show he's great, I'm not knocking on him as a character or anything, but I feel that in the context of the game his presence will only drag the story down. We can fight back against the Whitehills at least, but not Ramsey. And for a dumb reason. In Episode 1 he was handled quite well, but now his presence annoys me more than anything.
That sounds pretty negative but I didn't hate the Episode. I loved the huge dose of Asher we got and Beskha has cemented herself as one of my favorite characters. And Asher was such a goddamn badass this Episode, I mean, that axe throw? Dayum. Even with the aforementioned railroading I still liked Rodrik's sections and being able to put Gryff in his place at last. Plus the Glenmores seem pretty cool.
All said, I'd have to give this Episode a 5 or a 6. Not bad by any means but not quite good, either.

As for the extra choices: - I did not kiss Elaena (she had refused the marriage before, I wasn't going to force her into anything). - I didn't kill the wildling. - Took Royland with me. - Called Ludd on his bluff, for a moment I thought he was serious. Probably the best episode in my opinion, although I haven't been too impressed with this series, I'd say an 8/10 from me.
