Can we have Eddie back, please ?

edited April 2016 in The Walking Dead

Hello world,

Just a request for Telltale Games and question for all of the community !

Do you guys remember Eddie from 400 Days DLC ? I can't be the only one to really like the guy, right ?
I mean, he was quirky, funny, very sweet design, nice personnality, and I had the most memorable laughes searching all his voicelines with Wyatt. Damn, man. Their part was really one of the best.

I was so hyped when he appeared on the title screen of the finale episode of S2, but so bummed where nothing around DLC characters was really resolved. It's still a mystery to me, this picture. http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/walkingdead/images/5/5d/ATR_Eddie_Theory.png/revision/latest?cb=20140104161104
To be frank, I was so expecting DLC characters to play a bigger part in this Season. I would have loved to have a feud against Wyatt Carver and Eddie being in Clem's size.

So, any plans to have him back in S3 ? I want so much more of him. He was really entertaining.

Do you feel that way too ? If yes, in which fashion would you like to see him return and for what purpose ?

Me ? I would love to see this guy coming back as a kind of goofy yet reliable long-term character, pretty much like the cool brother - lucky like Glenn, but always at risk at the same time because of his persona ; and be part of whatever group we will follow next. I don't know, I always wanted to see how Clem and him would react towards each other. I liked the interactions she had with Nick and Luke in that way. Pretty sure their relationship would be kind of like that too.

I do understand there is certainly more important characters to treat and introduce, but hell, if we got Kenny back from the dead, we can have our man Eddie back from the fog too, nei ?

Please, make it happen Telltale Games. :D

  • Agreed. He was supposed to be in s2 anyway

  • The Eddie title screen was very strange. IMO they just used the model for placeholder reasons or it just might have been a new character they decided to scrap. Telltale loves reusing and editing models to make new characters.

    Either way if he (or anybody comes back from TWDG) I'd want them to not completely shit on the returning characters like before. (400 Days main characters)

  • Not having him back after being the only other 400 Days character to appear in promotional screens in Season Two (after Bonnie) was definitely one of the biggest rip-offs of the season, but as much as I would like him back for at least creative reasons, maybe we should wait for more competent writing before reintroducing him seeing as how Bonnie got derailed.

  • True dat.

    Better well shaped that off-screen killed like Nick.
    But still, I really hope for some quality writting in S3, so I'm all up with Eddie's comeback or even sweet cameo... as long it's not a shitty walker cameo. XD

  • The Hypu was real, then died like a potatoe... But you do make a point man.
    I have hope for S3, maybe I'm too naive, so I would really want Telltale Writters to make the Man return. I mean, it's not like if they had to search his personnality or modeling his character at this point. It's a given.

    Let's show Eddie some love, maybe Telltale will notice and reintroduce him for good. (until Kirkman the sadist kills him for feelz reasons, maybe)
    Is there a history of devs even listening to community ideas/requests ?

  • Yeah it's the image I've linked.
    Look at that badass hoodie ! He's with the dark side of the force now... The very dark side of the force and obscure writing choices. XD

    Frankly, I really wonder what were the plans back then for him. Needless to say, if he was to die like a fly, better to script his ass out of there than make another death-try-to-make-you-feel-because-twd type of character's fate.

    This should have happened but it didn't

  • Yeah he was a good character. The decision to play Rock, Paper, Scissors and his reaction to the events was fantastic. There have been a few shouts for 400 days characters to return from fans but I doubt Telltale would actually do it.

  • Yes! Eddie was such a great character and a genuinely good guy.

  • Such a shame ! Why do you think so ?

  • I honestly believe almost all of the second half of Season 2 was rewritten. Eddie being on title screen yet never appearing, the weird blood thing with Clem never happened, I actually believe Jane was a last-minute addition after people guess Kenny vs Luke from Episode 2 and the fact that Mike was meant to be the guy who attacked Christa but they cut it for some stupid reason.

  • Also the fact that they teased "Pizza vs Ice Cream" before we knew who Jane was.

  • They even teased it in Episode 2 with the 'Who did you sit with choice?' It was obviously going to be Kenny Vs Luke but they rewrote it.

  • He should have been but ifr you look at the entire title screen you also see Carley, Doug, Wyatt, and someone else idk who.

  • I don't think that's Carley, her hair is pretty similar to Natasha/Maud, which makes me think that she might've been around longer than Arvo in terms of character concept.

    I agree. Eddie was one of my favs along with Nate. (In terms of nonplayable characters in 400 days)

  • Him and Nate for S3

  • Nah because Arvo, Buriko, and Vitali would have been shown and eddie and the others wouldn't have been in there

  • Would make me laugh as hell if Eddie and Nate are buddies now. XD
