So this announcement comes with a bit of 'meh' - maybe it will be good. I'm much more interested in the universes developers come up with themselves versus some other branding from TV, Movies, and yes, even books (sorry Witcher series, I still love you though). When it comes to gaming, I still have this bias. It's not that this is bad and my son is certainly just as excited as I was to get a new Lego set. Today, I think all Lego themes are branded - Star Wars, Harry Potter, MinecraftвЂ¦ etc. My favorite, of course, was the Space theme. What I loved about Lego back then was how the differing Lego themes weren't 'branded.' Lego made up their own themes. I started to think about my own childhood excitement when buying a new Lego set, in those black & white days, before the internet and when some dinosaurs still roamed the Earth. I was going down the store isle in a Lego store with my son looking for a specific star wars Lego set. This is going to be a bit of a tortured analogy, but bare with me. You seem to be confusing the story written by Martin and the potential of the world.ДЄs for your obsession with 12-year olds - I will refrain from commenting on that.

Otherwise, it's a medieval simulator where you might get to exchange a few lines with Peter Dinklage.

Perhaps it will be an Assassin's Creed knockoff where you're the apprentice of the Many-Faced God? 12-year olds will like that. Bethesda is exactly the wrong company for this task, when one considers how utterly shallow their characters are in the Fallout franchise. Game of Thrones is 90% a character-driven adventure, built over 6 years, and it will be extremely difficult for a game to harness that successfully.

If this turns out to be true, we will still have (fingers crossed ALL)Westeros to play in, plus the magic that is mods, multiplied by the fact that Bethesda modding is modding at it's. It's a dirty, humans-only, combat-focused setting with a few neat looking castles and even fewer wonderous creature exceptions. What we can hope for, is that this long awaited GoT open world RPG is far into development, and even if Bethesda are the ones behind it, that is still a blessing. Middle Earth is the runaway Forgotten Realms compared to Westeros. Other than the handful of times we saw a 'spell' cast (healing & demon birth), it has been a relatively wonderless world. I just don't see how there is enough magic and supernatural element to appease a 12-year old gamer with the attention span of a fruit fly- which apparently is the target audience for games, now. I mean, Tolkien is also low fantasy in many ways - and I absolutely adore that world. And there's plenty of magic and supernatural elements involved.
