16 Months later and possible DLC?
My biggest problem with season two is that so much time has passed unseen that it is difficult to know how Clem learned to survive or what experiences have shaped her personality.
We find out that Clem is still alone with Christa and that there is no sign or mention of her baby. Christa in some conversation choices is quite untrusting of others and somewhat blunt to Clem, what happened between them? Does Christa blame Clem for Omid's death by her gun? etc.
16 months is a long time, even longer than the 122 of the entire first season. For Clem to still be insistent that Lee taught her to survive after that time is absurd, she obviously learnt more useful stuff from Christa and Omid like how to tend a fire and suture wounds.
I personally hope that the lost 16 months is not released as DLC after the season as it'll change how I would have guided Clem throughout, if a similar situation is encountered she may react in a different way. For me I hate when games release new content that occurred in the middle of the game, games such as Fallout New Vegas, Deus Ex HR, Mass Effect series all did this and it required either another playthrough or loading an old save. This really broke having a continuous narrative, my characters stories were already complete beforehand.
In this type of game that missing time could be effectively introduced as flashbacks with their own mini games or playing as another protagonist, similar to 400 days.
So 16 months later to DLC or not DLC?
