Things that need to be back in the Final season ( That ANF lacked) (Fan Feedback)

Hello everyone. I wanted to share some things that i think need to be back in the Final Season. Because they weren't in Anf. I will skip the obvious like more character development and better episode length.

  1. More ideas to the Walker Plot:
    Telltale needs to bring this back in the Final Season .Its not like there aren't there. There are enough moments of walker action in Anf. But thats also the problem. The walkers at this moment feel more as a plot device for having action in the game. Kinda like: The characters talked for a while now so we need action. we will just put some walkers in the place who are attacking the main characters.
    I know this was also a thing in Season 1 but it was not only action. Because Lee was turning into a walker and Brie also turned into a walker the actually treat was bigger then just some action moments. This is also the reason why the walker plot needs to be development more in the final season. In season 1 episode 2 we learned from Ben that you don't become a walker if you get shot in the head. Little thing like those are just something that moves the walker plot a bit more then just them being monsters and nothing more to it. These stories are more focused on the people then on the walkers themself, but it doesn't hurt to just move the walker plot with a little more information and new ideas. Which leads to my next point.

  2. more originality:
    Its getting pretty clear that the story needs more originality and that the Final Season needs to have more ideas. A example for the walker plot is: Show some animals that are infected and becoming walkers rather then humans. If you create new ideas to Walkers like the one i mentioned, it makes them more interesting. But the walkers aren't the only problem. The story is getting to uncreative: Finding a community, people getting killed, Clementine or other protagonist are remaining, The End. Come on Telltale, you can do better then that. Where is your creativity? I am not a profesional writer, so i can't really talk about new ideas, but i'm for sure not the only one that wants more innovation in the stories of the Walking Dead.

  3. Season 1 characters are needed for the Final Season: Telltale needs to put season 1 characters in the Final Season. Christa or Lilly. In fact if they want this Final Season to be amazing they have no other choice. It doesn't matter how many new characters are in the Final Season. We will stil care the most about the characters in Season 1, because season 1 has a special place in our heart.

  4. More puzzles: The Final Season needs to have more and original puzzles. I know these are story games but thats not an excuse for not having solid gameplay. People, and especially most old fan want more puzzle segments in the Final Season.

  5. More hubs for puzzles and interaction with characters.
    More hubs = learning more about characters = players are more attached to characters = players are more invested in the story = players actually care.

These are some things i think that that the Final Season needs to have to be a succes. I love to hear some thoughts on these and maybe some new ideas :)

Comments

  • The one thing that bugs me the most is the Episode length. The Final Season should have Episode lengths over 2 hours long each, well we deserve this after what happened to A New Frontier.

  • edited February 2018
    • More of a focus on individual character development instead of community dynamics
    • Opportunities to talk about Clem's past like we had in s2
    • Different ways for fights to play out, like how we could choose different weapons to target different body parts in s2. The bridge scene was a good example of this.
    • Relationships that we have with different characters actually affect how they behave towards us instead of just being shown in the credits
    • Maybe s1/s2 flashbacks if they're well done. It is Clems final season after all, I think a lot of the time should be her reflecting upon the journey
    • More gameplay like in Season 1 when Lee would shoot the walkers from a first person perspective.
    • Finding items in hubs and giving them to certain characters would improve their relationships with that character.
    • More horror elements it seemed to lack in A New Frontier because Javi was always with Kate, Clem, Gabe, David, or someone he knew. Lee had been separated from his group numerous times and had to face bandits or walkers or both at the same time which made us evaluate our choices and created suspense because we had no idea how the characters would react.
    • Give Clem her pigtails back!
    • Make Clem likeable again it was cool when she appeared in A New Frontier the first time to see how we made her turn out but then she became emotionless and a plot device.
    • Let Clem have the choice of being into girls (Before everyone starts freaking out I hated the forced Gabe romance and stuff like that if it was a choice it would've been better like if for one time we played as Clem and said sorry Gabe I don't like you or something. Clem is our character that we are playing as so we should be able to choose her romantic partners or letting her stay single. If you read The Walking Dead you know that relationships have benefits but also a downfall which would be perfect for this final season!)
    • Release the COMPLETE game on a disc after the game is concluded! This being The Final Season would make it hard for people to buy the game again after buying a Season Pass disc. (I bought ANF as a Season Pass Disc then I found out about The Collection and had to buy it because all the episodes of all the seasons they made were on one simple disc.)
