I've read all the books, loved the tv show, and thought the game trailer for this looked awesome. I'm also very into RTS (age of empires) and TBS (civ) games. Trust me, as much as you may want to like it, this game is terrible. Gameplay is awful, graphics are pathetic (yes even on good cards, it looks 5 years old). Also, story & voice acting reek of cheap.
Avoid, and keep your fingers crossed the rpg is done right.
