Kate hitting on Javier.
It felt so forced that I suspected, sooner or later, David was bound to show up. Was confirmed in Episode 2 after the uncomfortable scene with broken glass. I mean, couldn't you be even more obvious, Telltale?
It's already annoying that I can't clearly tell her that I'm not interested (for many reasons). Don't give away reveals if you want to keep people's interested.

I think it gets worse when you realize the last 4+ years must have just been a will they/won't they plot lol
Because it was forced. It's painfully obvious that TellTale wants you to pursue her but some of us just aren't interested and/or find it awkward, especially now that we know David is alive.
More like, will they bang? Did they bang? XD
Oh god, it was funny/embarrassing/awkward but I couldn't help enjoying the dilemma. Finding out some things on David later finally made it click for me why Kate was straying.
Why do you think you feel forced into the relationship?
Because you care about her?
Or because she is in love with you?
Because the "I can pull off for a minute" "Kiss Kate" "She means the world to me" are optional.
Even though we control Javier, canonically he seems to at least have some romantic interest in Kate (kinda like how you can deny the weed but it's implied he has smoked it other times). So it kinda comes across as a little awkward if you, the player don't want to pursue the relationship since Telltale seemingly hopes the majority of us do. It becomes less like "nah I don't wanna" and more that Javier is too shy to make a move.
So I think that's why you don't get an actual straightforward option to deny her.
(Given how much you can progress with her in the 2 eps though it's strange to think they went 4 years with the romantic tension and not becoming a couple)
I also can't tell if Eleanor is actually becoming a love interest for Javier too or if they are trying to bait us into a reveal that she's actually part of the new frontier or not with a false sense of security.
Fuck David, let's bang her
I avoided romantic interactions with Kate considering that she was earlier established as being involved with my brother. It seems that it's being pushed that Javier at the least has been developing feelings towards Kate, and the options involved in dealing with Kate solely allow the player to decide how to act on these non-determinant feelings. I don't feel that their relationship is terrible.
I am actually excited to be encountering David. Yeah, his reentrance wasn't unpredictable, but that doesn't mean that it will be bad. I'm not sure how I'll feel about this whole romantic fiasco between characters, but I am excited to see David's reaction to how Mari died.
No thanks.
Javier: Well David, I guess you'll just have to
I wouldn't say it was forced. I think there's definitely some canon feelings between the two of them though, which is understandable and not at all surprising considering the type of guy she was married to and the fact that he's out of the picture for 4 years.
I have 3 playthroughs right now. One where Javier takes no shit from David and totally made a move on Kate (even before the apocalypse). One where Javier is a good little brother to David (didn't hold Kate's hand), but still ends up with her in the end. And a third one, where he's a good little brother and didn't pursue Kate at all. I'm curious to see what will change (if anything) on episode 3 and how will David treat my Javiers.
I went all in with no regrets. It's been 4 years and David was a jerk to begin with. Kate deserves to be treated better then the way David was treating her.
Double post
I've also got 3 save files and almost the same as you. My first one Javier doesn't take any of the shit from David and calls him a bully and did make a move on Kate. My second one Javier did hold Kate's hand. And my third one is the same as your last one where he's a good brother and doesn't pursue Kate which hopefully means David will be have some respect for my Javier
to me it kinda felt like the game wants u to be in some kind on romantic relationship with her its like when Eleanor was flirting with u i was like nah no thanks i aint got no time for your nonsense
I agree, I've made 3 save files and have tried to avoid all of Kate's flirting in the one but it still seems like the feelings are there
The way they casually talked about having sex while driving away from the herd and the way you can kiss Kate as if it's nothing new, I'm guessing they've had some "experiences" over the past four years together.
As much as I'd want to, it's still my brother's wife so I've been avoiding hitting on her or getting too close. I'm the (cool) Uncle after all.
Yeah, I agree. It only spells trouble though now that David's come back to the picture.
The onyl save file I have is the one I'm an asshole to David and make a move on Kate.
It feels GREAT !
For me it was weird and uncomfortable. She's supposed to be my sister in-law for crying out loud.
I am interested to know what will happen in the next episode if you do decide to pursue a relationship with her.
I think for me, I wouldn't have such an issue with them hooking up if she wasn't a thirsty cow before the ZA started. I mean, I don't care what type of marriage you're in, you don't start hitting on the brother in law, then act all "OMG! I'm married." When he tells his brother that you want to leave him. If she acted with some self respect four years before, then it would be different four years into the ZA. It would be better if Javier could be with that doctor chick. But of course TT will pit brother against brother.
Won't lie I've been trying to get with her. She is awesome
FUCK YEAH
