Overview
A guide to major and minor decisions sorted by character and the effects of choices made by the character. If you find an error then leave a comment on my profile and I’ll check the material to correct the error.
Gared
Disclaimer: All entries that say no effect exclude the role they play in customizing your character and the things that are important to that character.
Episode 1: Iron From Ice
Bowen
1.) Bowen being saved will have him fight for the Forresters later in the story. (Much later. Episode 6)
2.) Leaving Bowen will result in his death and Norren will question Gared. (Norren dies so no real problem.)
The Escape
Gared’s escape will have little effect but is more for characterization.
1.) You can obey his command and you run away as he is killed.
2.) You can object and he will tell you to leave. You leave after attempting to convence your Lord.
Lord Forrester will die, but the Gods know what you chose.
The Farm
One soldier will always die, but you chose the fate of the other.
1.) You kill him because he did kill your family.
2.) Let him go.
This action has little to no effect.
Ironrath
Gared can explore the room. Finding background information and build the story.
Maester Ortengryn
1.) These speech decisions are not very important, but this is the first opportunity to reveal Lord Gregor’s secret. Also show off the Forrester sword.
2.) Lady Forrester or Lady Elissa will enter the room with Talia after you ask the Maester if you can leave. (Choose this when your done exploring)
3.) The Maester tells Lady Forrester that Gared could provide information from the battle.
Gared makes a statement that has little effect.
(All choices result in a simlar answer.)
Lady Forrester
Lady Forrester will question Gared
1.) Lady Forrester will ask you about Rodrik. (Player response has no effect)
2.) Lady Forrester will ask about her husband. (Player response has no effect except you get another opportunity to reveal Lord Gregor’s secret and show off the sword again.)
The sword is presented no matter the choice so I recommend going with one of the other choices. (Like he said he loved you. This choices is a lie but very kind of Gared.)
Gared’s Exile
Gared can defend his action or show regret. He will be banished to the Wall and nothing changes this decision. Royland will defend Gared.
1.) Gared can blame his attackers or question the Ramsay is coming. (No effect)
2.) Play it smart with Duncan or demand revenge. (Duncan will remeber you supporting him, but will he be Ethan’s sentinel. Royland will respect Gared for being strong.)
3.) Play it smart and protect the house or hold on to your want for vengence. (No true effect.)
4.) You can accept your fate or extent to one more dialogue branch. (5 should only appear if you choose anything other than I’ll go.)
5.) You accept your fate to protect them or insist to stay. (Duncan will not forget your bravery if you accept your fate.)
The North Grove
Gared could keep Gregor’s secret to this point. (Duncan will be proud.)
Gared can tell the Maester and Lady Forrester after the Maester patches him up. (Duncan will be disappointed.)
The Road
1.) Death (Looking to Long)
2.) Hide (You see the Flayed Man)
3.) Run (You run away and make your way to the Wall.)

Frostfinger’s Speech
The men of Castle Black assemble and Frostfinger begins his speech.
1.) Finn tells Gared to move and you have the option to move or stay. (Finn will notice and have distaste for you not moving.)
2.) The speech continues and Finn talks about his past and Cotter is tired of hearing it. Cotter says he is at the wall for F**kin potatoes. Gared then replies to this. There is the choice to stay silent or make a comment. The sacastic one will give Cotter the nickname potato F**ker. The other choices made have little effect.
3.) Forstfingers hears you talking and will ask you who was talking. you can blame your brothers which angers Cotter and Finn. The best choice is to take the blame.

Cotter and Finn will respond to you according to your action pertaining to Finn’s stolen knife.
1.) This scene is meant to smooth thing over with the angry party. You can anger them further.

1.) Duncan asks you to find the North Grove.
Gared can stay loyal to the Night Watch or agree to find the North Grove.

Talk with Jon

1.) Jon Snow will ask who you want watching your back. I suggest going with the person you like the most instead of saying no one.
