I think it would've been interesting if Sam could've been Clem's companion for at least most of the season, and then he got bit, and she would've had to put him down.

We're getting one hell of a snowstorm today. I hope it's warm and sunny where you anons are. I'm bundled in four layers under two blankets and I can hear the plow trucks all over the city.
No.12777
>>12774I really liked Chuck from S1, I'd really like to see another character like him again. He was really down-to-earth and laid back, but had the group's back when shit got real despite knowing them for very little time.
No.12778
>>12776It's around 60-70 during the day where I am. I really don't envy you guys, especially since I used to live up north and I know exactly what the winter is like. Snow's nice as a concept, but when it's everywhere and you gotta shovel it, and snow plows turn it into brown slush, and it turns into rock-hard ice… not so nice.
No.12779
>>12774>Character types you'd like to see in season 3?Someone who won't treat Clem as just a child, but who will also recognize her limitations. So, not the cabin group.
I wonder how they're going to handle the multiple endings of S2? With TTG's track record, I think it's safe to assume Clem and AJ will be the only ones alive by Ep2, despite what ending you chose.
No.12780
>>12779>Clem and AJ will be the only ones alive by Ep2That seems likely, but what I want to know is how they'll address the completely different locations you end up in. Howe's and Wellington are Clem knows how far away from each other, and we don't even know where the Alone ending even is.
No.12781
>>12777Yeah, another character like Chuck would be nice. I'd also like to see another character like Pete, since he got killed immediately.
>>12779I used to think that Kenny/Jane will be dead by episode 1, but recently I've come up with something that I think will be more likely. Kenny will ether already be dead, or die in a non-heroic way 5 minutes into episode 1. Jane will be determinant but survive the entire season if you choose to keep her alive. It makes since for them to do this because most people got a Jane ending, so they're going to appeal to the majority.

No.12784
>>12781Pete is probably the S2 death I'm most mad about. He seemed like he could have been the voice of reason in the cabin group, and probably could have played well in the whole Luke vs Kenny dynamic. It would have helped bring out more facets of
every character.
>>12782Yeah, probably. It seems like a cop-out, but really I just think TTG wrote themselves into a corner with S2. A timeskip is the only reasonable alternative to having an episode or more dedicated to dealing with the location difference.
No.12785
>>12780I've gotten the impression multiple endings were quickly scrapped together, before idea being going with an one true ending which was the Wellington one. Maybe even the idea of Clem reaching Wellington anyway either with Jane or alone, but that would mean your choices wouldn't mean shit. So they made three different endings in three different places to avoid that.
Just compare the quality of the three endings. In the first one, beautifully put enviroment with a built safehaven together from scratch. Second using pre-existing resources, you can see how quality declines, even using rehashed models as the shitty family. Third, Clem walks on a flat grass field through a copypasted horde. Just pure shit.
No.12786
>>12783Same here. He would have been a great mentor and guardian for Clem.

>>12786Or, alternately,
>Clem expects Pete to know all about cleaning game, skinning, etc.>he sheepishly admits he took all of his game to a game processor and never did any of that himself No.12788
>>12785I forget where I read it, but the idea for multiple endings was there from the beginning, when Vanaman was briefly S2's project leader. Reason being since Clementine was a child she should be more free to choose her own path to adulthood or something like that. I'm paraphrasing.
Not to say the actual endings themselves weren't scrapped together, but that was the plan early on. I do wonder what they originally were supposed to look like since S2 went through so many rewrites and revisions since then.
No.12789
>>12788I really can't wrap my head around why there were so many rewrites. It seems pretty obvious that rewrites almost always hurt the narrative since they're much less thought out than the original script. Were they afraid of leaks or something?
No.12790
>>12789My personal opinion is that alot of people correctly guessed what would happen in future episodes, thus they were rewritten to surprise people. Although leaks did happen.
No.12791
>>12790>people correctly guessed what would happen in future episodesWith enough people randomly guessing, someone's gonna be right eventually. Even then, predictability isn't necessarily bad. S1 was pretty predictable, but as they say, it was the journey and not the destination that made it so good.
No.12792
>>12791Yeah, Telltale should just stick to whatever they have planned, doing only minor rewrites if absolutely necessary. I really hope Borderlands doesn't suffer from being rewritten.
No.12793
>>12792It's a damn shame TTG has zero chance of hearing our input. All they'll ever hear is gleaming reviews and fanboyism in their forums while we spend all day discussing their games and actually come up with useful, constructive criticism that would greatly improve their games.
No.12794
>>12789It's simple: whenever the audience didn't react to certain elements in the original script like the writers thought they would, they shifted goal posts.
Take Luke for example. He was originally written to be a universally loved character, a friendly, competent partner for Clementine, and, presumably, someone many players would choose over Kenny. When his reception from players ranged mostly from lukewarm to outright dislike the writers realized they couldn't use his character like they originally intended to and so his role and characterization changed to whatever seemed convenient at the time. Hence, why in one episode he's the voice of reason, in another he's a fuck up, or he's opposite side in a rivalry that threatens to tear the group apart, and later he's the glue holding the group together.
The episodic nature of the game made it convenient to "tailor the story", or rewrite the script, to how the players behaved, even when it didn't make a lot of sense to.
No.12795
>>12794Seems awfully short-sighted. Even in the TWD show, there's plenty of characters like Hershel that fans used to hate, but the writers (mostly) stuck to their guns and got the payoff they were hoping for. Fandom should never influence your creative vision.

I wonder how Clem would like her eggs? Probably scrambled or over hard, I've never met a 12-year-old that liked runny eggs.

No.12801
>>12800Yeah, apple juice can be pretty sweet. It really depends on the apple they use, and a lot of store brands add sugar.
I used to make apple cider with my family when I was younger. It was great, and it basically tasted exactly like an apple, except liquid.
