Cabin Survivors
Let it be said that I did enjoy the game.
The Cabin Survivors:
None of them made it and most of them died meaningless, horrible deaths.
Pete: Killed by walkers/disembowled.
Nick: Walter lets him die to a walker/Shot then presumably bit by a walker, then gets stuck in a fence (offscreen)
Carlos: Shot by one of Carver's men in the escape then instantly devoured by walkers
Sarah: Either left in the trailer to walkers or after being pinned under observation deck (literally 10 minutes between each death)
Luke: Pulled below the water by a walker/Drowns
*Edit:
Rebecca: Dies of hypothermia and weakness due to childbirth and lack of food.
Alvin: Killed by Carver/Killed by Carver
(Doesn't include Rebecca and Alvin because on the Walking Dead wiki, they aren't listed as part of the cabin survivors)
*Edit: Rebecca and Alvin are there now as part of the Cabin Survivors.
I feel as if most of their deaths were poorly handled and had little to no impact on the story overall. (As Clem) I saved Nick numerous times and he didn't get anything significant past episode 2. I promised Pete and Luke that I would watch him but he died meaninglessly. With Carlos's death, I thought we would get a chance to see Sarah change into a more independent person, but nope, dead just like that. Luke is dragged under by a walker out of nowhere and in the other scenario, he somehow drowns while Bonnie survives. I understand they are trying to reinforce the idea that character deaths are sudden but these deaths were meaningless (Nick and Sarah) and didn't make sense! (Luke).
I miss the gravity that character deaths had on others. At least in Season 1, character deaths had a large impact on changing people .Doug/Carley's death impacted Carley/Doug into asking Lee, "How did you choose? We both needed you." Larry's death drove Lily over the edge and cemented the animosity between Lily and Kenny forever. Duck and Katjaa's death broke Kenny and as Lee, I had to bring him back to reality. Saving Ben in ep. 4 gave Ben's death (Ep. 5) meaning as he confronted Kenny and Kenny finally forgave the poor guy.
Season 1 deaths moved the story and their determinant characters (Carley/Doug, Ben) played a larger role in the narrative after their original deaths while Season 2 determinants had zero impact (Nick, Sarah). While I enjoyed the second season of the game, there was a large drop-off in the impact characters not named Clementine, Jane or Kenny had on the story post Episode 2 and it's a bit disappointing for me personally.
Comments
I would include Alvin and Rebecca in there. And i liked all of them i just wish they had a better rol in the story and weren't forshadowed by Kenny and Jane
True, just on the Wiki they are listed as "Rebecca's family" so that's why I didn't include them.
We met them at the cabin so they should be there plus remember that the wiki can be edited by everyone so it's not 100% official information.
