I agree. Video games can't truly capture the essence of a movie or TV show, there will always be certain things that get changed or left out for the sake of game play. It's much better to play a video game set in it's own unique world, and of course that world will contain influences from all kinds of fiction, mythology and history, which is a good thing. That way the game contains all kinds of references for a wider audience to enjoy, instead of being confined to one specific form of literature.Video games and movies have a terrible relationship. Of course GoT is not a movie, but it seems that any video game adaptation from a movie seem to be mediocre at best (and usually vice-versa). Not to disparage Bethesda, but I imagine their GoT game would be the same. I'm glad they stuck with Skyrim because then they could exercise their own creative freedom rather than be handcuffed to the lore of GoT and ASOIAF, as much as I love the show and the books.
