    It's just the endless cycle of TellTale waiting periods.

    1. Waiting begins.
    2. Speculation of release dates start, frustration increases as expectations are increasingly stretched (we kind of skipped this part since Melissa+Job confirmation).
    3. Same topics are brought up, people take break from forums, pessimism ensues in relation to talking about previous episodes.
    4. Tweets/Screenshots are released - information of which is scrutinised down to the pixel - "Big news coming soon? RELEASE DATE NEXT WEEK CONFIRMED HYPE!!!1"
    5. Ideologies clash with pessimists reminding people that they're going to be disappointed and short lived hopefuls encouraging people to remain hyped.
    6. Trailer is released, every screen is gouged out on the forums - people become more radicalised in the pessimist/optimist factions - hype increases.
    7. People evacuate forums to play the episode.
    8. People return to vent their frustrations/argue that it's an alright episode.
    9. Factions disband as the episode has been played/talked about to death in the first week.
    10. Repeat.

    This is the VA for Eleanor.

    She captioned it:

    "New #script ! Can't tell! #telltalethewalkingdeadvideogame #telltalethewalkingdead #telltaleseries #telltaletwd #sagaftra #texastalent #vo #voiceover #eleanor #twdg #anewfrontier #thewalkingdeadanewfrontier #thewalkingdeadvideogame #twdgseason3 "
    Looks like she got it today. Kinda... late.

  • Got some more news.

    Eleanor voice actress just got her Episode 3 script - it's on her instagram.

    Not sure if I'm allowed to post a link or a name so yeah.

    She got the script pretty late but hey at least script is probably done.
  • i think its a very good fucking sign, at least thats what i think. If someone from telltale is replaying season 1 it could possibly mean some aspects of that season could appear in the next episode and beyond. Like better hubs, better dialogue options in hubs when talking to people, and possibly puzzles. Although i doubt the puzzle one

    I don't get this post.

    Something something rewrites. Something something cut content.

  • Of course it is, people overdramatize their reactions on photos all the time right? But that doesn't mean that she isn't actually shocked about what the script actually is.

  • It's telltale, she's probably shocked it's so bad that her character is actually a nice doctor with no secrets and not a traitor like I wish she was in order to redeem her uselessness as a character.

  • There's plenty of hints in current writing and ways to make Eleanor interesting without making a ham fisted traitor arc. I think she has more potential as a character than Tripp, who we really know almost nothing about other than muh beard/Kenny II.

    For example, the possible relationship between Eleanor and Clementine - we know Clementine stayed at Prescott at one point and for some reason Clementine doesn't like her... What if, when 'treating' Clementine for injuries or something, she discovered the brand on Clementine's arm which caused complications in the relationship between the two? Maybe Clementine did something to justify Eleanor's "There's something cold behind her eyes/Maybe she's just a wounded soldier" comment.

  • Yeah, I know. But even if she turns out to be interesting, she's just like, there. Yes, she's a doctor, but Telltale didn't need to add a brand new doctor, just make Tripp or Conrad know some things about medicine. So I'm guessing that she's there for a reason, probably be the cliché Traitor of the group. Maybe she knew Clem from before, being a NF and all, but couldn't say anything whitout letting everyone know her origins. Plus I don't trust her a bit.

  • By "big episode", I'm guessing he means relative to the previous ones. I'm guessing around 90 minutes, which is average at this point.

  • My literal reaction to seeing her face was: "She's cute." XD

    Anyway super excited! We haven't seen much of her yet, but I really like Eleanor and can't wait to see more of her. :)

    She looks so nice! Like Eleanor! ((Still hoping she is a nice person and not revealed to be a bad person))

  • Definitely working in a lot of fan feedback for Ep 3, too!

    Stay cautiously optimistic or you'll set yourself up for disappointment.

    They also said the first episode was too big they had to split it in two parts and look how that turned out. I'd first wait for episode 3 to come out to see if they actually listened to the fan feedback before getting too excited. :P

  • Just a good advice, my friend. Stay cautiously optimistic and lower your hype and expectation and you will never be disappointed.

  • Just because they say something does not make it true. We will see if they actually listened when the next episode comes out.

    I hope nothing happens to AJ, cuz that would shatter Clem

  • Surely this time it'll be the truth! Right!?

  • I honestly think that AJ is the only thing keeping Clem going anymore, and if it turns out he is dead, she may question what is the point of moving forward with survival if everyone she loves is dead.

    I think so as well. And it frustrates the hell out of me considering I really don't care that much for AJ.

    The fact that she seems to see AJ as endearing in the flashbacks no matter what makes me think she's going to prioritise him over everyone and everything else - I fully expect that in Episode 4 or 5 she'll end up betraying/selling out Javi in exchange for AJ's safety or whatever.

    I hope we can clarify her attitude on AJ fully in the Episode 3 flashback, like maybe in a conversation:

    Ava: "So, what's your plan with the kid? You just... Drifting from place to place, hoping to wait 'till he's old enough to care for himself?"
    Clementine:
    [He's family.] "He's all I have left from before. I'll take care of him no matter what."
    [I don't really care.] "I kind of just... Ended up with him. Things happened. But it's not like I could just leave him on his own, you know?"
    [He's a burden.] "He almost got me killed - more times than one. I've tried my best on my own with him, but... There's only so much I can take."

    But I'm not holding out hope. AJ is the pillar of Clementine's story for the foreseeable future and anyone who thinks otherwise will have to get over it, I guess.

    I honestly think that AJ is the only thing keeping Clem going anymore, and if it turns out he is dead, she may question what is the point of moving forward with survival if everyone she loves is dead.
