For example Robb Stark in the show falls in love with a medic girl from his camp, and ends up breaking his promise to the Freys, but in the books, Robb ends up marrying a lords daughter to "preserve her honor" so to speak. I don't see how this would move the story along faster, save money, or anything else. If anything it makes less sense
In Game of Thrones, what is the level of 'Fantasy Magic' like in the books compared to the show? So in the show, I saw an interview once where the showrunners said the audience got turned off in the first few seasons by things like the Red Witch giving birth to a monster, and so they concionsley turned down the magic. Dorne alone should tell you that if you read the books. [NO SPOILERS] means any comments with spoilers need to use spoiler tags to cover the information. Show tags are black. Book tags are red.
