Even though I enjoy computer games, I have pretty much given up on them lately because I have developed a tremor in my dominant hand. I am thoroughly obsessed with the TV series Game of Thrones, and am considering buying the game to tide me over until the next season. I've read a lot of reviews and have visited the website, but I've not seen this particular question addressed.
So, particularly in combat, does this game require fast and accurate reflexes? Imagine playing this game with your non-dominant hand. Would it be frustrating?
I'll be playing on a desktop PC, using a mouse and keyboard. I played Torment a few years ago. That would be my absolute upper limit as far as reflexes go.

From personal experience, game of thrones' QTEs (quick time events, often requiring the press of a button or directional input within a smallish timeframe to carry out actions ingame) aren't as intense as The Walking Dead and other Telltale games. Combat in Telltale's Game Of Thrones isn't like full-on mouse controlled attacking and blocking, just simple QTEs. Although sometimes you might need fairly quick reflexes (probably about a 3 second window to pull off a QTE), if you fail it, you're put right before it, and now since you know where and what it is and it should be easier to perform. If the QTEs are a deal breaker for you, you should know within the first two hours, and if you're buying on steam you should be able to refund it if that's the case.
