[SPOILERS] What was the point of the North Grove storyline???

[Gringovich]

Seriously, we get absolutely NO closure at the end. I chose to defend the North Grove, and all I got to see was the guardians preparing for battle. Battle against what though? And why am I defending this place anyway? I get it, Lord Forrester said it must never fall but we have no clue why. I was always thinking it would provide the house with resources but it appears to be some sacred site, so I doubt the place would be chopped down anytime soon (not to mention how far it is). The significance of the North Grove is never explained and its existence seems entirely pointless because of that.

I am guessing leaving for Ironrath would have been the better decision because it doesn't seem like there's any consequence to losing the North Grove when we don't have any reason to care for it. What were they thinking ending it like that?

[BachHoangSon2591]

Using google translate, here is what I found: Grove: a small wood, orchard, or group of trees.

The Forrester, they are Forrest, many Grove combine and we have a Forest. Ser Gregor said you can only tell your uncle about the North Grove. Duncan is a man of think, always thinking first, choose what is best and act later. Why not Malcolm, Ser Royland or anyone else in Forrester's family ??? I think he fear they will know about his bastard.

To me, North Grove is just mean Gregor's adopt child. Nothing more.

Of course there is more theory about what is the North Grove, some of them is very interesting !!! Feel free to find them on google :D

Sorry for my bad English !

I have seen the North Grove as kind of a last chance to get Ironrath back, in my game Gared chose to participate in bloodmagic, I somehow felt that it´s wrong and dangerous, but necromancy would be ideal, so many corpses after all thos conflicts and Gared would be back in time for Asher to be healed so they could start a last attack to win Ironrath back . . .well, at least that how I would imagine it could continue

[Nanonium]

The North grove has a lot of meaning, for one, more forresters, if you stay behind and guard it, your basically building a fortress, so the forresters are alive and still growing and the whitehills have no idea, they can grow stronger and come back, plus nobody ever made it to the north grove so...anyways if you march south your bringing backup to aid the forresters, ironrath might have already fallen, but who knows, your sentinal survives

I suppose we should apply this criteria to the tv show as well. What the hell were they thinking not wrapping up everything at the end of this last season? We got NO closure, only plot points that will lead into the next season. What terrible writers. What the hell were they thinking ending it like that?

This shouldn't have needed a second season though. They had 6 episodes, which is 1 more than all the other Telltale games yet they couldn't just end it. It's the story of one minor family's survival in the GoT universe, and it was close to being concluded in a satisfying way until the ending. It doesn't need to be this big spanning epic like the main series because it's just a spin off. Also, because we have almost no choice at all in the story, the least they could've done is give us a good ending to their on rails plot which they once again deceived us into buying.

The Stark family was just a minor(ish) family fighting for survival and look what Martin has done with that. Good things will come. You don't have to buy the second season if you don't want, and please don't if you're just going to come on here and complain about it.

Why couldn't they do another family for second season? The Forresters were great and all but they are almost all dead now and there is just way more opporunity to build on the lore of the series. And I won't be buying another Telltale game until they at least remove the "This series is tailored by your choices" text at the beginning. They should at least be honest with us.

Btw, I wasn't "complaining", I was criticizing the game's ending but in a constructive way. Not everyone who disagrees with something is complaining -_-

The point of the North Grove storyline is season 2. At the moment we got too few information to acurately predict where they are going with it.

[Shlippery]

What are the chances of the North Grove having any significance in TWOW or the next season of the show?

[Luchsius]

The point of the North Grove will most likely be shown in season 2. In other words, you gotta spend another 25 Bucks to get your answer.

Starks were minor? WTF are you smoking? Starks were wardens of the north. Ned was one of King Robert's closest friends, if not his best friend. Ned was almost king himself after the rebellion, but Robert had a slightly stronger claim. The Starks were anything but minor. They were on the same level as the Lannisters, until Ned found out about Cercei's dirtly little secret and got himself killed for it and doomed his entire family.

[Patrik Perkele]

it is nice

Season 2 was in early development by Telltale. The Noth Grove would be featured in season 2, just as the youngest Forrester, Beshka and Asher or Rodrik, depending on who you choose to survive at the start of episode 6

Agreed.

The Starks were basically dukes to use real world terminology. That's only a step down from king.
