Some of you people need to cut back on the what ifs and what you want out of this. We have no idea what this thing is going to look like or what it could be.

It's a while until E3 but The Game Awards is coming up. When do you think they'd announce this...if it were true?
There are a few, but they're all pretty bad, except for the RPG which is kind of okay in an Eurojanky way.As someone who just got into the show a month ago, I was wondering where all the GoT games were. I played the Telltale game last month from PS Plus and that's what got me into the show, but I must admit the story wasn't very good.
I've also never played a Bethesda game but have heard good things about Skyrim and Fallout.
Let your dreams run wiiiiiiiiiild
So wait you said don't make assumptions now you're making assumptionsNot when it comes to this company and what they have done in the past.

Which one is it dude
If you want to imagine it, just watch season 7 of Game of Thrones
then why on earth are you in a topic about Game of Thrones?
Eh, with Bethesda it's a little more than that. Fallout 4 was a smack in the face of a lot of RPG and Fallout fans. Bethesda completwly ignoring the existence of New Vegas just added to that.
Because I like Bethesda games, but don't like Game of Thrones. Kind of like how some people here like Game of Thrones but don't like Bethesda games.
For a Bethesda game to take place in a fantasy universe I have absolutely no interest in would be lame because then I probably wouldn't want to play it.
Well, that's not entirely true. In terms of the Fallout universe itself, references are made to New Vegas, and even as far back as Fallout 2. In terms of game design, the main questline being faction oriented in you having to choose between them as well as much more fleshed out companions are quite similar to New Vegas. Although no one at Bethesda has made reference to being inspired by New Vegas in any of these design decisions, I'd like to think so regardless.
But nah, it's not completely ignored.
The Sho, NCR and San Francisco being mentioned were nice nods back, yeah, but that one quest felt so out of place with the rest of the game in terms of acknowledgement of past Fallout games (that are not made by Bethesda). The creation of Jet for instance was a major plotline in Fallout 2 to the point of being able to take the manufacturer of the drug with you as a companion... but in Fallout 4 suddenly Jet has existed since before the war.Because I like Bethesda games, but don't like Game of Thrones.

In terms of game design, the main questline being faction oriented in you having to choose between different sides as well as much more fleshed out companions with their own quests and your actions affect how they feel about you (Fallout 4 actually did this better than New Vegas to a degree, albeit not perfect) are quite similar to New Vegas. Although no one at Bethesda has made reference to being inspired by New Vegas in any of these design decisions, I'd like to think so regardless.

Prediction time:
Everybody will be disappointed.
Bethesda's Game of Thrones: The Official Online Trading Card Game, from the makers of The Elder Scrolls: Legends.Prediction time:

Not when it comes to this company and what they have done in the past.

I wish we'd get more clarity on Bethesda Game Studios and what they are up to. Is this their next game or one of the three new games? Will Starfield still release before this, is Starfield even a thing? I just want some BGS goodness, I miss it.
I'll be making sure to start watching Game of Thrones soon though.
Skyrim was announced in December 2010.
The season finale is tonight, so I wouldn't be surprised if they announced it along the airing of the episode.
If they aren't setting the game during the events leading up to and during Robert's Rebellion, they're doing it wrong. That time period has a shit load of characters we care about and would be a great setting for a game.
Edit: I am hijacking my own post to feverishly gush over my own GoT vidja game pitch.
My pie-in-the-sky dream GoT game would be set before, during and after the rebellion taking place across the entire continent of Westeros sans perhaps north of the wall.
Imagine if the player character was a bastard born in one of the nine major regions (North, Vale, Iron Islands, Riverlands, Crownlands, Stormlands, Reach, Westerlands, Dorne), with the player choosing where they want their character to be from and which house they serve. They story at the beginning would differ depending on where you start from, but all 9 paths would mostly follow the same beats: the tourney at Harrenhal, battle of Ashford, The Trident, sack of King's Landing etc.
Your ultimate goal is to assist your liege lord in either defending the crown (Targaryen, Lannister, Tyrell, Martell), overthrowing the crown (Baratheon, Stark, Tully, Arryn) or take advantage of the chaos and reave where you please (Greyjoy).
Your skill tree could have 9 branches: Father, Mother, Maiden, Smith, Crone, Warrior, Stranger, The Old Gods and The Drowned God.
NPC's refer to you by your bastard surname (Snow, Stone, Pyke, Rivers, Waters, Storm, Flowers, Hill or Sand) for maximum immersion
Side quest potential is enormous here:
-Recruit/capture potential brothers for The Night's Watch
-take care of The Smiling Knight
-find all of the Weirwoods in Westeros to see visions of the past and future
-beat back Hill Tribesmen in The Vale
-investigate reports of a Faceless Man sighted in Westeros
-investigate an underground cult of religious fanatics called "Sparrows", join or destroy them
-fuck all the whores in Westeros and "make the 8"
-study at The Citadel in Oldtown like a nerd
-assist the head of customs in Gulltown with shady dealings (some dude named Petyr? Seems trustworthy)
-go to Gin Alley in King's Landing and give Karl Fookin' Tanner 6 silvers to kill a man
EZ DLC MONEY:
Greyjoy Rebellion DLC
"Beyond The Wall" expansion (Bronn mentioned he's been north of the wall before, get him in there)
Where's my check GRRM
I think it's extremely fair to assume what this is going to be and how it'll be executed given the trends of their output. Unless they make some very dramatic changes in regards to their technology (fucking Gamebryo) and stop "streamlining" mechanics and the dumbing down of role playing mechanics, it's going to be the same janky, incredibly flawed mess that their games usually are.
The technology is what I'm most concerned about. Their engine can't handle the kind of scale that their games deserve. Also, voice acting in Bethesda games is stupid. Why make third party content stick out like a sore thumb?
Bethesda uses multiple engines. Bethesda is a publisher.
Well it has to be better than the atlus and telltale games. But Bethesda aren't exactly killing it with their recent releases.
