And yet when the family who drove him out came calling, he was willing to come back for them anyway. The hothead who became a sellsword-yes, to survive, but let’s be honest, he also enjoyed it. The exiled prince who had never been a good fit for the family by all accounts, driven out because he’d committed the most grievous sin one in his position possibly could. He was the golden boy who, in better times, would have been the best damn Lord that house had ever seen.Įqually, I think it made the most sense for Asher to live. Someone who was not above forcing Elaena to marry him, but then spending every minute afterwards proving to her that he still really did love her, and he took no pleasure in forcing her.

Someone who was willing to suffer the shame of kissing Lord Whitehill’s ring or lying in the dirt if it meant buying time to build up an army to save his family, but who was still willing to put war aside and negotiate peace. I played him as someone who was basically a fair and good man, but who was, at the end of the day, a pragmatist.

Here’s the man who by rights should’ve died ages ago, was left crippled, watched his father and brother die, his family get torn down, hatched a plan for revenge only to learn there’s a traitor in his midst, then concoct a slightly different plan only for every single thing he’s accomplished go and be undone by a fresh betrayal. I was really just being selfish.įrom a narrative perspective, I thought it makes the most sense for Rodrik to die. There's certainly ways I've justified that choice since, but yeah. And, in the show & books, the history of me liking people is dead, dead, dead, probably dead, in jail. Rodrik is pretty much my favorite at this point. From a narrative standpoint I thought it made way more sense for him to die, but I couldn't stomach it. Honestly, for me, saving Rodrik was 100% selfish. » /r/EarthOfIceAndFire - reminding of GOT This is used to define what the post is about, and to what level of discussion is allowable in the comments.įor more info see the guide and policy.
