They haven't been afraid to bash a few over our heads before :P A few more references, just to chalk some more up:

*Tam Tara HM boss attack called "Red Wedding"
*Levequest called "Storm of Swords"
*A character named Eddard in the Lancer questline (and an NPC named Neddard in La Noscea)
*Quest "The Mountain that Strides"
*Quest name "Taking the Black"
*Achievement "Stick Them With the Pointy End"
*The Direwolf mount...and its description (found in a litter with its dead mother)
*Halloween NPC said "The night is dark and full of delightful terrors"
*You must say "High as Honor" for an Ixal quest (the phrase of House Arryn)

The phrase "Seven Hells" is also regularly used. And sure, it can be coincidence, but with so many blatant references I it's not out of the question GoT could be in mind when they're choosing some of the NPC dialogue. It's not the only source, but there is obviously inspiration there and they certainly seem to like drawing from it. Despite my surname, I do think it gets to be a bit too heavy-handed at times :P
