I picked Beshka because Malcom was already injured (he was stabbed just before you make your choice).
I figured there are 2 scenarios: either the person you don't pick is killed or they're injured. If I pick Malcom, the worst case is Beshka dies and I have an injured Malcom to take care of, and best case is now both people are injured. If I pick Beshka, worst case is Malcom dies and I have an uninjured Beshka with me, and best case is Malcom is just more injured, but Beshka is unharmed.
Beshka all day erryday. Sorry Malcolm, but you can't actually expect me to put up with you after you let me be exiled in this sand pit while the one woman who got my back all these years and probably saved my life more times than i can recount in in danger
Hard to pick but before it do not got the gold from the dead guy because you would make the dragon mad at you because they prize gold a lot,protect it from looters, and the girl at the end of the episode is the master of it.
If I'm not wrong, Asher mentioned during a conversation in episode 3 that Malcolm and him were really close, more than he was to his father,… more Gregor (so the conflicts between Asher and Gregor were frecuent before Asher was exiled).
That's why I believe that Asher is not angry at Malcolm or other members of his family but Gregor.
I understand both characters, Malcolm has been there for Asher for a long time, but Beskha has been taking care of him since he was exiled and had no one.
Maybe a dragon from LOTR or the Hobbit would value gold, but the dragons in ASOIAF are just magical animals, they do not value gold, or hoard it, and are not any more intelligent than most other animals in the series, and even attack their own allies/masters if they are not being controlled.

Hate me, but I choose Beshka because she said "You owe me one" when they were fighting the Lost Legion and killed the soldier that almost killed me. Soooo..I had to help her.........sorry Malcolm saviors.......
You need Beshka's loyalty here.
Malcolm is a practical guarantee. He might question your choice and wonder, but Beshka has no lasting ties unlike Malcolm does to your family.
Oh damn was this a fun choice, I liked both of them, I actually had to pause the game and think it over for a couple minutes, I went with Malcolm because he was family, and we Forresters protect our own, but goddamn was it hard. I was so glad that Beshka didn't outright die, I was so sure that was going to happen.
Although I didn't mind Malcom asking me why I didn't pick to save him back in the cave, I'm going to have to ask TellTale why there wasn't a DAMN OPTION to say "Maybe because a huge dragon was going to kill Beshka while you only had to deal with a few footsoldiers"
Seriously. That was my thinking was that she had a bigger chance of dying than him there was no way she was going to survive a dragon attack realistically. Malcom that was very Selfish of you to ask now that I think about it. Instead I get the option of saying
1)nothing
2)Beshka saved my life
3)because you're tough
4)I didn't have time to think

I picked Malcolm not only because he's family, as in real family (blood ties, biological), he could be family and still mean nothing to Asher... But turns out he did. I went for the "unhappily exiled" approach of Asher, a man who suffers from being far from home, loves his family more than anything and wants nothing more than to return to his rightful place.
The mercenary life was a life by default, he did what he had to do to survive, and tried to make the best of this situation and to enjoy what he could (adventures, fighting, whoring, boozing), but deep down he's always known he never belonged there. Fortunately, he didn't spend these few years alone and misreable, he made a loyal friend there, and it's nice, surely meeting Beskha was the best thing that could have happened to him in Essos... But even the best thing that happens in Essos is still second best thing compared to life home among his own.
As Asher I resented Beskha's attitude trying to estrange him from his family (as soon as the very first dialogue in the game), trying to instill grudge in him and denigrate his loved ones. To me a true friend doesn't do that, I considered those attempts to hold me back to this mercenary life and keep me for herself selfish and manipulative. A real friend would have understood those feelings of nostalgia and homesickness, and not denied them.
Whereas Malcolm was the link between Asher and home (and as a player he was to me a link with my sorely missed previous protagonist Ethan). I must also say that at the time I believed one of the possibilities of the game might be that eventually Asher's arc could lead to a decision wether to fulfill his mission or prefer mercenary life in Essos. With that idea in mind I perceived the already obvious Malcolm/Beskha conflict, as in fact a conflict Family&Home vs Essos (and I'd be damned if Asher wouldn't come home with an army).
And that's why I picked Malcolm without even thinking about it, dragon or soldiers were irrelevant to my decision making.
Yeah, I for one had Malcom's back all the way, but his admiration for Daenarys was a major disappointment.
And I doubt his position in the family allows him to make such big decisions as which pretendant to the Iron throne we support as a House.
I think that at some point Telltale's plan was that whoever you supported the most would come with you.
As hinted by Beskha telling my unsupportive Asher as soon as episode 3 that she would only help him get his army but wouldn't follow him to Westeros.
Guess during the making of episode 5 they changed their mind. Two different characters was too much work for episode 6 I guess.
This backpedaling would explain the bullshit with Malcolm suddenly wanting to fight for Daenerys instead of helping his family which really makes no sense, and also why Beskha's complete 180 turn (in games of 100% Malcolm players like me) at episode 5 "nevermind, I'm coming with you after all" felt so off and weird.

Beskha. Family doesn't abandon each other. I don't think Beskha abandons Asher no matter what happens. I don't hate Malcom but he came to Essos because Elissa asked him to. He also didn't want to come. Beskha is Asher's family. Malcom? He is just blood related man.
I chose Beskha in my first playthrough because, let's face it, she's face to face with a dragon and having seen how Drogon was acting, I thought it would be best. Though I didn't appreciate Malcolm bitching about being burnt, I saved him in my alternate playthrough because Beskha's bitching is easier to handle.
I chose Beskha in my playthrough because the Dragon probably would of tore her in half, if these were one of the decisions that the other character died.
Also, I sorta regret that since I ended up liking Malcom more.
I picked Malcolm not only because he's family, as in real family (blood ties, biological), he could be family and still mean nothing to Ashe… morer... But turns out he did.

As Asher I resented Beskha's atti… [view original content]
At first i didn't know beskha to well but when i finished game of thrones., i was WRONG,beskha really is my family she even care about my family o i picked malcom but now i know how wrong i was and beskha is a real friend and truly MY SISTER i will protect her and have her back in season 2 with all of my life but i know telltale next it will tell us to choos between talia and beskha so i haven't thing about that yet but this is telltale lol
I saved malcom but now i know beskha as part of my family and forresters when I finished the game at that moment I didn't know beskha to well as you know 4 years and she didn't tell me anything about Mareen or she was a slave or she didn't have famliy but beskha needs someone to replace him with her family and now I am that guy now I understand beskha now I know how much she cares about me.so i am gonna be anywhere for her when she needs me.
The TV Show goes off the Books, it follows the same main plots but often executes it (and some characters) differently, with some scenes that never happen in the Book and some events in the Books never happening in the Show.
Beskha, I know this game tried to put the idea of family before anything else but it was evident to me that Asher and Beskha were family, even if not by blood, she took care of Asher when his own family exiled him.

Break can forgive you if you tell her she is strong but Malcolm is less forgiving. I think picking malcontents is the better option.
If Beskha is dumb enough to fight a dragon instead of running away let her. I chose Malcolm the one I thought had a chance of living.
Beshka all day erryday. Sorry Malcolm, but you can't actually expect me to put up with you after you let me be exiled in this sand pit while the one woman who got my back all these years and probably saved my life more times than i can recount in in danger

I do not know that i just know that from books and other things that i did in my past.

Just think of it like this.

2)Beshka saved my life
3)because you're tough
4)I didn't have time to think
That part just made me angry. Because if you say anything other than Beshka saved my life he assumes you're lying
I picked Beskha because she was facing a dragon and Malcolm was just facing a couple soldiers
Beskha, because Malcolm is kissing Daenerys' ass too much.

Beshka. I'm glad, too. Malcolm is sucking up to Daenarys.
Okay, but how did you know that at the time of the cave when he hadn't even met Daenerys yet?
Yeah, I for one had Malcom's back all the way, but his admiration for Daenarys was a major disappointment.
And I doubt his position in the family allows him to make such big decisions as which pretendant to the Iron throne we support as a House.
I expected him to stay when his family needed him the most. Major disappointment.
I saw it in the flames.
I think that at some point Telltale's plan was that whoever you supported the most would come with you.

It makes me wonder if they have plans to make Malcolm our eyes in Meereen next season.
Beskha. Family doesn't abandon each other. I don't think Beskha abandons Asher no matter what happens. I don't hate Malcom but he came to Essos because Elissa asked him to. He also didn't want to come. Beskha is Asher's family. Malcom? He is just blood related man.
Euhm does it actually matter who you choose?
Book spoiler: Drogon was actually living in the Dothraki Sea after he left Daenerys, not in the desert cave
I chose Beskha in my first playthrough because, let's face it, she's face to face with a dragon and having seen how Drogon was acting, I thought it would be best. Though I didn't appreciate Malcolm bitching about being burnt, I saved him in my alternate playthrough because Beskha's bitching is easier to handle.

I saved Malcolm, it's important to put family first. That's how I played Asher at least."
I saved Beskha because I like her too much haha.
I totally agree with you, that's why I let Asher stay 'cause he loves his family more than anything
At first i didn't know beskha to well but when i finished game of thrones., i was WRONG,beskha really is my family she even care about my family o i picked malcom but now i know how wrong i was and beskha is a real friend and truly MY SISTER i will protect her and have her back in season 2 with all of my life but i know telltale next it will tell us to choos between talia and beskha so i haven't thing about that yet but this is telltale lol

The game follows the Tv show, not the book
But the show follows the book
Not completely, they're some parts of the show that never happened in the book.
True. True.
But overall I think it follows the story of the books.
Let me put it this way...if Beskha or Malcom had to die then there is no hesitation in me choosing the homegirl.
The TV Show goes off the Books, it follows the same main plots but often executes it (and some characters) differently, with some scenes that never happen in the Book and some events in the Books never happening in the Show.
Beskha, I know this game tried to put the idea of family before anything else but it was evident to me that Asher and Beskha were family, even if not by blood, she took care of Asher when his own family exiled him.
I saved Beskha because I didnt want her to be wounded while fighting alongside with Asher. Malcolm was fine and he dosent fight after that.
