Game of Thrones isn't worth your time.
Borderlands is amaaaaaaazing, and everyone should play it.
How is Telltale's Borderlands for someone with no interest in the other Borderlands games?
Perfectly fine. Only a passing knowledge of some of the most basic things in Borderlands lore is required, 5 minutes reading a wiki will do. It's its own story and doesn't have as much to do with the Borderlands games as you might think it would.
Same question but with Game of Thrones instead.
GoT is only for people who have seen every episode of the TV show and are desperate for more. It requires you to have seen at least the first 3 seasons of the show (or read book equivalent, obviously). Even if you've read the books, it's still based on the show, so it references the show mostly.
As a diehard fan of the TV show, I think it's terrible. It's really, really terrible.
