I like Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire.

I like this game.

I understand that some members of the story and localisation teams really, really like Game of Thrones and like to let it inspire the setting. That's fine. I like the political plotting and darker tone a lot.

But the sheer number of direct references, winks and cribbed text is starting to get completely out of control and SB has even more of them than ever. It's taking me out of the game with the endless references to GoT lore and phrases.

It's a selfish request but can the team please read some more fantasy titles and mix things up a little more if possible; references are more fun when they are subtle and varied. At the moment I often feel more like I'm playing an unofficial GoT MMO than a Final Fantasy title.
