Joel's death was hardly the most shocking moment in video game history. It was a plot device to move the story along, it wasn't that big of a deal. Sure it pissed off the snowflake fanboys of the game, but that was about it. Their reaction and death threats to the devs and the actors/actresses was the shocking part of the whole thing.

that Amazon and the WoT show creator don't care about source material. The shows creator is rewriting the books according to the way he wants them to be. Amazon has done the same with LOTR material on that show as well. It's about making the shows representative what they thing it should be whether it be changing a stories, the characters, or the world itself.

The biggest issue I see is that The Forgotten Realms although having a huge amount of source material is going to be very hard to create for that very reason. The source material is very well known and loved so if they deviate much from it, the fans will know and will be very critical of the show. I truly hope they can succeed in making this show successful as we need more live action D&D as well as animated D&D.

Completely agree that they need to get the Two Rivers battle right. The biggest issue I've had with the show so far is that there are so many characters that none of them really get time to shine that much. The books are wonderful because they take the time to explore the characters and allow each to really have their moments. Unfortunately the show isn't really able to do that since they only have a limited number of episodes each season so much of the magic is lost.

The DLC was supposed to add 10-15 hours of content. They could have charged $20 for it and they would have sold 20 million copies easily. Such a waste to leave all that money on the table WB.

I most of these books and the series they created. Of course bring 54 many were from my childhood and college years. It's funny how the classic books get forgotten and replaced by young adult dribble that are all carbon copies of each other in their plots.
