Poll: Which Game of Thrones Character Would You Play Given the Chance?

[Zantos]

Bron, not only is he badass level maximum but he has my favourite line so far in the show: "There's no cure for being a ****."

Or the hound, for many things he's done, but mostly this scene

 

[The Consequence]

John Snow FTW

 

[The Funslinger]

OT: Well, I'm from Yorkshire, but my accent is quite subtle. The end result, people tell me, is that I sound exactly like Robb Stark.

So subtle Yorkshire = Scottish? What?

OnT: Bronn would probably be the most fun, it's a lot more fun to watch people like Tyrion, Tywin, Varys etc. than actually play them. If you play them you know all their secrets and plans, which defeats the SURPRISE! BRILLIANCE! part of their plans. Bronn would actually be a great protagonist in a game.

Captcha: Win hands down. Damn this new captcha is creepy, it can read my mind! Help!

The actor's Scottish, but he puts on an accent for the character.

Edit: case in point


Showcases the actor's actual voice against his character's.

Edit again: There's not as much of the character voice in there as I thought. So this, too:

 

[croc3629]

Sandor Clegane. The leash would chaff at first, but oh it would feel so good once he's cut it loose, even if he is still a bastard in his own right. And I'd really like him to take a crack at

zombie Gregor.

if Martin has that in mind.

Yeah, they do sound a bit different, but I still think he sounds a bit Scottish. Then again, I'm incredibly racist and believe that the only accents in the UK are Oxford and Scottish.

I can't believe you still think that after watching a series that has Sean Bean in it!

 

[Thoraxe]

Bronn, Arya or Jaime are very interesting characters.

Spoiler

I yearn for a time skip so Arya stark can grow into a full fledged badass.

but I read the books and well, some dreams get crushed early.

Point number one - Spoilers.

Point number two - No offence, but you can't have read the books very carefully if you think that.

Spoiler

Her training at the House of Black and White to become a Faceless Man is all kinds of badass.

OT: Jaime Lannister's character progression is, for me, one of the most interesting in the series so I'll place my vote there. Davos Seaworth gets a mention here too, and I'm eager to see where Griff's story goes as well.

Were you even reading my post? I expressed my wish to see Arya older. and your response is

Spoiler

she is training to be a faceless man! woahahaha

That doesn't begin to address what I said.

Ok, I think you've misunderstood me:

Spoiler

You expressed a desire to see Arya as an older badass, my point was that no time skip is required for that. Why should she need to be twenty-something before anything interesting happens to her? Yeah she's still a sprog, but she's learning to be an assassin - what more could you want?

I apologise if my message came across as confrontational, it was intended as polite inquiry.

Oh, alright then. I'll explain.

Spoiler

well, this is how I see it. Either she finishes her training, which will take years and keep her out of the main plot of Game of thrones.Unless again we get that time skip, which I find unlikely at this point. Or, she'll find 'herself' again and return to Winteros with unfinished training, making her slightly more useful but not anything threatening yet. I'm sure she'll be the same mini badass, but I just wish to see her-I don't know as more than a little girl with a needle, playing a role in the final battle.

Robb Stark, he was just cool to me like a younger tougher Eddard.

Bah! He's like the boringest Stark you could've picked. John Snow's more like his dad than Robb anyway... Robb's more like his late uncle.

That being said, I'm not surprised Tyrion's the frontrunner. He's beloved by all, and he's a character with no martial prowess to speak of. So if you played him it would be in a game that doesn't revolve exclusively around stabbing people! So there's probably a second message in that choice... (IE: people wanna be able to play noncombatants...)

I don't know if you've read the books, but I won't spoil anything just in case. I'll just say Tyrion's not too shabby in a fight. Wouldn't put him up against Brienne or Jorah or any of the highlighted warriors, or anything (at least not head on) but he's not exactly a pussy.

I've read all the books (including the Dunk & Egg short stories), and I know Tyrion gets *involved* in battles- but he mostly just survives them. He's no warrior. And the HBO series seems to be trying to get that across by cutting out what little content in the story involving his battles/acrobatics. Save the shield incident, but that was more to demonstrate that he's *willing* to do violence rather than show his prowess.

 

[TheRookie8]

Bronn
The Hound
Ned Stark

if Martin has that in mind.

Sandor/Gregor/Bronn are all cut from more or less the same cloth. I just figure Tyrion's the best potential leash holder out of the choices. Tywin's a prick, and Joffrey's the grand daddy of pricks.

 

[Daveman]

Robert Baratheon.

Fucking and drinking all day yet inexplicably depressed.

Plus I would like to have at least won a war.

You *DO* get to have a blonde trophy wife, brutally murder the prettyboy who kidnapped your girl *AND* father around 16 bastards. There are worse fates, provided you like boar >.>

Also I knew I wasn't the only person who loved Cat.

I really want to read all those prequels and short stories. Where the hell do I find them? D:

edit:

Spoiler: on Tyrion

Well he has fought, and he's done it well. In the book's description of the fight during his captivity, he actively fought, as well as during sortee when he lost his nose. I'm not saying he's great at fighting, but he's capable. Also, the books describe him as having good upperbody strength, despite his twisted legs.

Also I liked the part when he saves Young Grif by beating back that guy with the stone sickness. He was pretty badass in that.

 

[Major Chip]

I'd be a direwolf. Because it's a giant wolf, that's why.

 

[Emiscary]

What? No Littlefinger? What about Mance Rayder?

All my favorite characters aren't on the list =(

True, but I'm convinced Roose is just as fucked up in exactly as creepy a fashion. I think he just hides it significantly better.

I'm not too sure about that, from the books I just feel that he isn't that "interested" in evil, after all he chides his son for all his evil antics at one point, plus he says all he desires is just a "Quiet Land, With A Quiet People"

That's what "other" is for

Bit of info about them

Dunk's story began with The Hedge Knight, originally featured in Robert Silverberg's Legends anthology, and continued in The Sworn Sword, from Legends II, and The Mystery Knight, from Warriors, edited by George R. R. Martin and Gardner Dozois.

The Hedge Knight can be found in GRRM's Dreamsongs: Volume II. The Sworn Sword can be found in Legends II: Dragon, Sword, and King. The first two Dunk and Egg Tales were also adapted as graphic novels by Dabel Bros. Pro and Marvel: The Hedge Knight and The Sworn Sword. The Mystery Knight is currently available in Warriors.

OTrobably Tyrion.Definitely my favourite character

 

[Emiscary]

I'm kind of genuinely surprised that Littlefinger's been mentioned as often as he has but nobody's mentioned Varys. Yes he's got no balls (literally), but anyone who's read the books can tell you he's *at least* as sly as Peter and no less successful at what he does.

 

[Cowabungaa]

Tyrion of course. All the subterfuge, political maneuvering, backroom power-struggling and sneaky backstabbing is so much more entertaining than straight up war. And of course, he gets all the best babes.

He gets to slap Joffrey.

And that. Most definitely that.

I always choose a male character, and rely on in-your-face melee tactics more than often, but...

Arya. She's cute, kind of an underdog and reminds of the protagonist from the great His Dark Materials -trilogy.

She has the potential to turn into one kick-ass assassin/avenger. If only her sword-fighting teacher stuck around for a little longer. I loved that guy.

 

[Redworld13]

Id say probably Bronn, Great character and would be alot of fun...
Gendry might be interesting aswell
