Well... yes, as a matter of fact, winter IS coming. Dominions needs Dire Wolves... they were so cute and cuddly-sounding!

...but there was only one direwolf for each child, not hordes of them

Wolves? Dominions II needs penguins. Penguins....of DOOM. Swarms of enraged, berserker penguins, swarming across the frozen fields to peck their enemies to death.

The word you use to make that sound cool is "gritty."

GRRM certainly has that grittyness, in spades. Things certainly don't get any nicer in the next couple of books, believe you me.

Nice understatement ...
