This game, more than (almost) any I’ve seen supports talking about other people: to their face, behind their back, eulogizing them, praising them, pitching them as prospects for the throne, using them as bogeymen to scare your rivals … and so on, ad infinitum.
That game, where you’re in a very constrained family with all sorts of powerful and abrasive personalities, is fun. The other game, where you’re a trans-dimensional ass-kicker but the GM randomly decides that you don’t have a strong enough grip to hang on to the back of a bucking black dragon, is really frustrating.

Reading the interview in the first link I think they’ve actually got a more elegant ending than the one in the graphic novel. Certainly better than Sam Hamm’s solution (repeat after me: Time Travel is never the answer).
And I like the trailer better, after repeated viewings. It’s easy to be pessimistic and cynical, but let’s not forget that Zack Snyder is second only to Robert Rodriguez in realizing a comic creator’s artistic vision faithfully on film.
Uhh.
