Everyone at Avalon Castle try to defend against Gaius’ attack while Arthur goes for help.

Impressions:

Disclaimer: I don’t feel like pretending I don’t know what is going to happen, and writing a section without spoilers and then one with them, as I’ve played the game. This post will contain massive spoilers to the whole plot. If you don’t want to be spoiled, then don’t read on. I won’t spoil anything simply for the sake of spoiling it, no needless spoilers, but they will be there. Final warning.

I thought this episode was pretty good. Again it seemed to follow the game pretty well, however of course it’s hard to deviate too much when the story is at the point where everyone is simply just getting their ass kicked in a huge battle. Not much to deviate from. However it’s still pretty good. I thought Arthur’s speech to Taliesin was pretty good. They seemed to make a much bigger deal about it in the game though. It was constantly something they harped upon up until this point; how Arthur was tied to his “Oaths” and him learning that he needs to just do what is right instead was a big deal. They seemed to make less of a deal over that, but then again they didn’t have a lot of time to do something like that either.

I was a bit concerned with some of the brief talk in Arawn’s dream with Primula and Pwyll. Some of it sounded like there might be some pretty big changes from the game, but it was only a little bit. The big part hat reveals Arawn’s past hasn’t come yet, so I’ll wait until then to pass final judgment, it just worried me the way they phrased some things. They better not change it because that is single handedly the best part of the story for the whole game/series. The motivation and ideals Arawn had in his past. If they change that it will really be a shame.
