Congrats, a lot of caveats but ok. And there is a typo on the article saying "playstation 5"
If they can fix the bad AI, when sneaking this would be a complete masterpiece. I'm already salivating for the sequel.
Sneaking in the game is entirely too easy, because the AI is dumb as rocks when it comes to finding the player character.
I understand the charms thing. If you are all charmed up you can basically stand in plain sight and not be seen. Same goes for sneaking in Skyrim with a sneak skill of 100. In both cases the AI isn't broken or bad. It's part of the game. But what I'm talking about with GoT is when I go into a battle all like LEEERRRRRROOOOYYY JENKINS!!!, and at the end of a very noisy very bloody fight, I have to find that last archer guy in the watchtower directly above where I slaughtered 20 of his buddies. I mean, I'm not even wearing any stealth gear at all.
Very deserving sales.
