The GOAT.I just don't want them to try to make it a "big AAA title". Just make something fun like LotR on PS2, but with the GoT universe.
For real though, I hope this is real and I look forward to what it is! There is such great source material and worldbuilding inspiration in ASOIAF.

A co-op hack and slash set in the final season of GoT that's the same quality as Return of the King would be so lush.I just don't want them to try to make it a "big AAA title". Just make something fun like LotR on PS2, but with the GoT universe.

Let's hope they actually listened to feedback from Fallout 4 though because if not... yikes.

This could be cool, but I'd prefer a CRPG or strategy RPG rather than a Bethesda style RPG. But still, they have a lot to work with here
Edit: I'd consider Paradox and Obsidian "big", but still I'd trust smaller studios to do a more faithful job with the license than a big studio, except CDPR
Larian (Divinity), Obsidian (Pillars, Tyranny), Paradox (Crusader Kings), Logic Artists (Expedition: Conquistador/Vikings)

Are we sure this doesn't mean that there is an internal power struggle happening in Bethesda right now? I could totally see Todd Howard being Cersi.

What is MMBV supposed to mean?
This doesn't look like a normal Target site page.

Ok, I'll get it regardless, especially with skyrim mod support, but I doubt they can do it justice. They may as well stuck to TES and just made them better, more like the older games.
I loved Oblivion more than Skyrim because of the way stealth worked, and I felt I had more control of how I wanted to play. I was all about sneak attacks, and stealing from any and everyone.
Oh yes! Though Larian with Divinity OS story fell off for me after the first map, hard. It was neat trying to solve the murder mystery the first map, but yeah that star area (talkative imp or whatever), and the second map just screwed everything up for me. Obsidian would be great from what I experienced from their games.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Wandering the flawless crafted topography as Geralt is as close as any game has come to what I'd want from a Game of Thrones title.
I wonder if a GoT title from Bethesda, despite their TES roots, would abandon first person for a dedicated third person.

Third person in Bethesda TES and Fallout games look weird. They have been getting better though.

Is there a GoT game that is any good besides the Telltale game?
Obsidian would of been amazing...

I'm down. Though it would be funny if this is a part of Bethesda creation club.
The crpg that already exists is fine and takes clear influence from both Bioware and Obsidian.
Cool. I like Bethesda and I like Game of Thrones. I'll reserve judgement until I see more, though.
Congratulations, man. Proud of you.

Oh god, it's going to be filled with American voice actors trying to sound British. Fuck, I'll have to play the bloody thing with voice volume off.
It's just Game of Thrones.

I guess if Bethesda or whoever else was to make a proper AAA budget Game of Thrones game, I don't think I'd really want it dealing with anything from the main storyline of the show/books.
Thinking about it more, it would probably be pretty neat (and make more sense gameplay/story wise) to be more like the Dunk and Egg novellas. Basically be a Knight Errant traveling Westeros, getting involved in all sorts of adventures big and small along the way before the events of the books/show. Kind of like KOTOR in that sense, to free up the story a bit and avoid needless TV character cameos like the TellTale GoT game kept forcing in.

Only if they committed to it 100% with big budget and 5+ years development time. Then maybe we could get a decent Witcher/Dragon Age GoT clone. But the studio should fit for this mammoth task and Bethesda on one hand makes sense but on the other the Bethesda of today .. just sucks at writing and making a good RPG. So yeah I expect Season 7 spectacle over solid plot and character writing that you find in the books.
You know what else would work? A GoT Pinball table
The Crusader Kings II mod is the best Game of Thrones game possible.

Crusader Kings 2 in general, really
Edit: how does the white walkers threat work in the mod?
Eh, they're good when it comes to worlds they made themselves, they're terrible working within established worlds. Fallout 3 and 4 actively contradict the world building and lore of Fallout 1, 2 and even New Vegas.

Exactly how I see it. CDPR would be best for a GoT game.
Lmao"Winter is coming"
Idk, I think a GoT would need to be more focused like the witcher series. Bethesda is not a good fit imo.

It'll be a Skyrim mod for Game of Thrones stolen by Bethesda and sold as a full game.
That game was enjoyable, but the story was so stupid from a lore-perspective, lol. The best part was the GRRM cameo as a Maester who was writing thr history of the world.

Probably a Skyrim reskin. The dragons, snow, and castles are already there.

Gave it a try. I didn't like it either. I only cared about John Snow and Ned. After the first season and a half, I gave up trying to like it.
I would still consider giving the game a try. Interest is low, though.
Yeah, even though I really like Skyrim Bethesda doesn't seem like the correct fit. Look at kings landing from the series and compare it to the biggest city Bethesda did and their engine is clearly not capable enough.
Now compare it to novigrad from Witcher 3 and that seems way closer.

Damn, that Bethesda "leaker" looking more and more believable. He called Skyrim VR (and called it likely not being at Beth's own E3 presser too) and the part most people don't know is he also called Starfield being pulled from the E3 presser last minute (something another leaker, with reputation, was shocked by). He claimed GoT was their other in production title alongside Starfield. Still doesn't make the leak concrete imo, since Starfield and GoT were always the best-guess titles. But calling Skyrim VR's exact reveal scenario AND Starfield being planned but pulled at the last minute, on top of GoT being real... is all looking pretty damn good and suggests we should start getting hyped for TES6 Akavir.
GoT would be really good for Bethesda though! Gives them the need to double down on writing and dialogue in their games, and build bigger cities. The lore is already in place so their writers should have a lot of time to focus on narratives, and hopefully bring a lot of what they learn here into more traditional Bethesda games in the future.

The really don't. In fallout 3 there was a whole town who's main food source was scavenging from the same one shopping mall for hundreds of years.
If they're smart they'll do both.
I think Shelter was crazy successful? A Thrones mobile game would rake in money.

My guess is a Bethesda developed (or maybe with the Creators Club) official total conversion mod for Skyrim
Sold at Target?
