What would you change about Season 1?

Me, personally, I wouldn't have killed off Mark so quickly. He deserved more air time. I would've made Doug or someone else get killed by the arrow instead. What about you?

    I would have shown how Mark came to join the group, rather than hinting and teasing at it.

    I also would have had more different characters interacting. You rarely see Kenny and Larry interact with each other(after the initial drugstore confrontation), or Carley/Larry, anyone/Clementine(though i suppose i can understand this), Katjaa, etc. It would be neat to see what each character's opinion of all the other characters were, but we do see most of them and it's a minor complaint, at best.

    Make it longer. :D

    Also if Lee is going to cut off his arm, have him do it in episode 4 so he survives. :)

    I think... More Kenny, idk, more Hard situations with him and Lee, where their friendship will be shown. Don't kill Lee. And more Mark! That's my opinion.

    Only two things for me and there're minor.

    I would've liked for a few Crawford survivors to be found within the district who you also have to deal with, perhaps even Oberson himself, when you raid the area. They were built up so much that it would've been nice to actually fight some of them while they were still alive and even have one last battle with Oberson on the bell tower (which technically you did, but he was a Walker).

    The other one is that I wish that the final zombie battle was a little bit longer. It was by far the most epic and intense Walker battle, but I felt it could've been made just a little bit longer. That's why I actually prefer keeping Lee's arm because it makes the fight more extended when you use the glass because he uses both weapons on the Walkers sometimes, such as the last one when he stabs it's eye out with the glass and then slices his head into two with the machete knife.

    Other than that and a few technical hiccups here and there, everything was perfect for me.

    I have to echo that more with Mark would've been better. He was just thrown in and then tossed out quite quickly, with nothing to make me care much about him.

    I would have gone for a few more situations like the meat locker. That is still for me one of the best choices Telltale offered us, and how it affected the characters around you.

    Honestly, I'd take out some of the puzzles. I know some people complain that the game already has too few puzzles but, to me, many of the ones that were there just felt "gamey" and took me out of the story. The most obvious, of course, was the radio in Episode 1, but for me the most disappointing was getting the map in Episode 3. As I was playing that I realized that I was offering Kenny a drink, not because he's my friend who just lost his family and needed it, but because I needed him to get out of the chair so I could retrieve an inventory item. That stuck out like a sore thumb only because most of the rest of the game never felt like a game.

    The Stranger could give away the supplies Lee and the Macon survivors stole from him to the bandits as a way of getting revenge.

    Change Episode 4 quite a bit, I like the episode the way it is. But I'd really prefer it if Episode 4 was more focused on the Stranger and his interactions with Lee and Clem. They seemed to just ignore it in Episode 4 which made me go WTF!?!?! 0_O

    No Campman and Lee doesn't get bitten.

    Balancing out Doug and Carley. Because Carley is flat out the better choice because she does way more stuff than Doug, that seemed a bit unfair to me.

    Making a realy tough decision between Kenny and Ben in episode 5 (if the kid is alive). Maybe Kenny could do something "Ben-ish" and puts both of them in a bad situation, a bit like the Carley/Doug choice. If you droped Ben, there is a similar scene except you have to choose between saving or leaving Kenny to die. I would also add more dialogue. You nearly only talk to Kenny, Clem, Lilly and Carley. The others are just stock. Doug also needs more screen time in ep 1 so more people would save him.

    ...We should've had an explosion with the blowtorch and diesel in episode 3.

    I think the epilogue (you know, where clementine is in the field on her own and sees two figures) could have had more closure. I know clem nearly shot herself. I was like :eek: when she nearly did that, but I feel like there was something I should have got out of it that I didn't. Maybe a choice to call out to them or hide? Some form of identification of who it is? Them being Omid and Christa to take her under their wing? The only reason I can see for doing it the way they did is that they will pick it up in season 2. If not, I will be very dissapointed with a epilogue that for me was way too vague. Please telltale, truly conclude that mystery for us? (Unless you are continuing in season 2, in which case, carry on! :D)

    Get rid of the technical issues. By the time I'd had my file reset on episode 1 several times, I was so fed up with the game that episode 5 didn't resonate as much with me as I'd hoped. I went in wanting to feel emotion, but I didn't, probably because I was pissed at how buggy the game was. Hell, I even had to jump through hoops just to get episode 5 to work.

    ima go with the easy, safe, most desirable answer and just say that Lee shouldn't have gotten bitten and died... or at least make it so he was bitten being a badass protecting Clem... not picking up a hat... I know he was flustered having lost Clementine... but if he has survived for about 5 months or something in a zombie apocalypse, looking after an 8 year old.... i hardly think he'd screw it all up because of a Z hiding under a bit of cardboard... ya know?
