My boss always said if you don't notice CGI, you did a great job. So I'll take it as a compliment. Truth to be told, there is a vast amount of VFX and CGI involved in GOT. Even if it's just duplicating a row of tents or adding a fog over a battlefield, it greatly changes the atmosphere of the whole scene.

Take a look at this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8f0nROPGmZQ It's Season 1, but still applies. Small things like snow, green screen background, ground textures, etc. are all heavily manipulated and edited by us.

I didn't work on the master-burning scene but a different team did, but by the looks of it, it seems like there was a lot coffee and arguing involved.

Ha, there was an outtake were Kit Harington 'wrestled' with John Bradley-West. Sadly, wasn't allowed to edit or use it...

EDIT: Thought you said 'hitting' each other, not 'hitting on' each other. Silly me.

Yes, Kit Harrington for example had a scar he received when he hit a prop and we had to remove it in every scene.
