Do you think of your own version of the story?
I always like to think and imagine from time to time how I would of liked the story of the game to have gone.
I won't go into too much detail but what I would like to have happened is for the 400 days group you play as would instead of been the cabin group in Season Two and they would not have been determinants. When Clem gets separated from Christa she would meet the 400 days group and they would be hiding from a badguy group with Steve (Mentioned in Russell's story) as its leader and Nate would also be in that group. Clem and the 400 days group with Vince as their leader would hear about Wellington and try to get there and on the way they would run into Eddie, he then reunites with Wyatt! But as they get close to Wellington shit goes down and the main antagonists Steve and Nate appear and cause big problems as Nate hasn't forgotten about Eddie so he wants him dead and Steve isn't happy with Russell and tries to kill the whole group. Clem barely escapes alive as most of her group is dead but she makes it to Wellington with only 1 or 2 others and the season ends like episode 1 ended with Clem seeing someone she thought was dead! So Kenny would not be in season two but he would be in season 3 instead with Clem still the playable character.
What do you guys think? Please let us know what you would like to have seen differently etc.

Last weak, in my class we were supose to write a horror story, so I write my own walking dead season 2 DLC scenario.
All i can say is that im happy you're not writing the episodes. Nate isnt even antagonist so whats up with that? And the whole "wander aimlessly to north and try to find Wellington" was just stupid idea in the game and in your version of the story. Kenny died in the alley and it should have stayed that way.
Well I bet you couldn't think of anything better!
I weant a playable ZombLee that wants to get to you , but if you play correct he only attacks your opposition, have a bigger group to play with and choose from why not...
Nate was the funniest dude in 400 days but in a dark way, so sure
I think it would've been cool if Lee had never died at the end of season 1 and instead rescued Clem and then met up with Omid and Christa by the train. Then there would be a few months gap and then Lee, Clem, Omid and Christa would find the cabin and meet the season 2 group and then the season would go mostly the same just with a few changes like Kenny wouldn't return and characters like Sarah and Nick would survive.
That comment brought up memories about my first years in school.
I mostly like the story as it is, but I would have liked some things differently. Like when Clementine is retrieving the radios in EP3, she can get caught and has to face Carver in his office. A fight occurs with him and it ends with him being knocked unconscious. Then Clementine has a choice to either tie him up or kill him. Also, I would have replaced Arvo's character with Eddie and switched Jane's role in EP5 with Luke.
Sounds good!
Actually I have thought about 'my own version' a lot lately. But it sucks, however your verison seems good to me. It would have been better if Carver was, more evil and he had lived more, so they would be in Howe's till epsiode 5 with 400 days group or something like that. Meanwhile Carver would "force" you, I mean you would have to go on risky runs for supplies with one of 400 days member so you can't escape, and all I wanted was Carver to be more dangerous, evil, mean. And in season 3 they'd escape and so on.
I don´t have my own version of the story but i would have changed some things of season 2:
Do you think of your own version of the story? Of course I do.
I'd change many, many things. Clem would not be that strong. No kicking in the doors, pushing off zombies, breaking their legs. Instead - running away, dodging, outsmarting the dead. Game would be more REALISTIC. Toddlers can't survive long in the cold without mother. They get sick without vaccines and doctors. Getting shot is serious, esp. for kids. Eleven years old girl doesn't know how to turn off wind turbine (unless it's somehow explained). Clem would have to WORK for group's trust. Adult people can not be hostile in first ep. and friendly in second without the reason. ACTIONS would mean something - stealing watch, pinky swear may be a bad choices, however showing Sarah how to shot can save life. Consequences for Christ sake! Unfinished threads - where is Christa, who caused fubar, who shot Pete? It's important! Ahh, too many things to fix..
Thanks
Yeah, I think about having a different version of the story a lot. Carver plot would have lasted the whole season, we would be out in the woods more, and the 400 Days group would have a bigger impact. Not gonna go deep into the details, but thats just the gist.
I saved the shit out of this Gif.
[removed]
That would of been a really cool idea being forced to go out on supplies by Carver, I like!
I think about this so much lately about how different it would've been. I'm actually doing a rewrite of it, my own version. Well... might as well give two peak in how I'm doing it.
The first one is a modified part where Clem is at the shore after facing Winston.
CHAPTER 4: ALONE AND LOST ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
It's morning and the storm has disappeared. Clem lays on the shore line, coughing, gasping for air as she wakes up. She gets up, holding her shivering arms as she looks around. Alone and worried. She wonders where she is. She feels her head and realizes her hat is missing, worried, she looks till she find it on the ground. She picks it up, dusts it off and wears it.
---------------------------------------[HUB]-------------------------------------SHORE/CLIFF/FOREST
On the shore line, Clem can look around and interact.
River{where you start}
-Look (Clem wonders how far she went away from the camp, hopes she doesn't get a cold, sneezes and sighs in complaint)
Wreckage(in a distance)
-Look (Clem looks at the wreckage on the shore, and sees the other half with the dead man on a rock in the river, she sighs)
Stairs.(by cliff) ----- TO CLIFF
-jump on (Clem looks at the broken stairs to a cliff and jumps, missing her grasp. Tries again and manages to pull herself up, onto the stairs)
Clem walks up the stairs and stops in a clearing before the woods. She looks around and hears bushes moving, calling out if it's Christa.
Dead corpse (by rocks)
-Look (Clem looks with a slightly disgusted face at the dead walker with its head peirced by a sign.)
Grave (by trees)
-Look (Clem looks at it with a slightly depressed face)
-[if grabbed] place flowers (Clem places the flowers on the grave with a sad gentle smile)
[after viewing grave, next to corpse] Bunch of flowers
-Look (stares at them with a soft smile)
-Grab flowers (Clem places some flowers in inventory)
And here's one of my original scenes in the first episode. Based on an old thread of mine.
Clementine finishes eating her bowl. Clem gets up and walks over to put the bowl in the sink. She turns around and the hub begins.
--------------------------------------[HUB]---------------------------------------------- CABIN
--------------CABIN (KITCHEN)
Sink (behind Clem at start)
-Look (Clem looks at the piled up dishes in the sink, notes these people are either trying to preserve water, lazy, or plan on moving soon)
Window (By table)
-Look (Clem notes how bad the weather has been lately. Worried if Christa's alright out there.)
Lantern (On edge of table)
-Look (Clem makes a concerning look, she notes she doesn't want to know what Nick was doing with that)
Sarah's book (On table) [Only availalbe if friends with Sarah]
-Look (Clem looks at it, wishing she had time to read books right now)
-Pick up (Clem says she'd better give it back. Clem holds the book in her arms as she walks, you have several ways to give this back to Sarah)
Door------TO LIVING ROOM
-Open (Clem walks out of the kitchen and into the living room.)
------------------------------CABIN (LIVING ROOM)
Clem walks into the living room, looking around. Luke is sitting with Rebecca on the couch near the bookshelf, who glances at Clem for a second. Alvin and Carlos will be talking to each other by the bookshelf. Pete will be at the front door of the cabin, looking out the window.
Pete (At front door)
-Talk to (Clem approaches Pete and casually says his name, Pete looks turns to look at Clem, saying hi politely.)
A)How is it out there? (Clem asks curiously, Pete turns to look out the window. He says with uncertainty that the walkers are out there, gonna be hard to not draw attention when the go out the next morning. Clem suggests sneaking around with a smug face, Pete turns to her, chuckles 'With your experience, that'll be a piece of cake.' Clem shakes her head with a smile.)
B)About the idea of chopping my arm off... (Clem mentions it with dislike, she asks if really was gonna do it. Pete has some guilt in his eyes 'If it was a lurker bite--' Clem interrupts it wasn't. Pete says if it were, he'd be doing it to give her a chance. He turns around and says everyone deserves a second shot. Clem thinks for a second, with a look of understanding his intention.)
(After you finish talking to him/clear options. He'll say he needs to keep a look out, tells her to run along.)
Alvin (Next to Carlos by Bookshelf)
-Talk to (Clem asks his attention. He turns to Cle but glances at Rebecca who glares at him so he unintentionally ignores her. Clem glances at Rebecca, cynical)
Carlos (Next to Alvin by Bookshelf)
-Talk to (If forgiven by him he turns to her and politely asks `Yes?'. If distrusted by him he aggressively asks 'What is it?)
A) You didn't need to lock me in the shed. (Clem tells him she could've died in there. Carlos says if she was to turn, she could've attacked them. Clem says 'But I didn't.' Carlos makes a serious look at her.)
[only if you apologized to him] So what kind of doctor were you? (Carlos is curious asks why she asked. Clem says she's curious. He raises an eyebrow and explains he used to work in the clinic before everything that happened.)
C) [If you have Sarah's book] Give book (Clem explains Sarah gave this to read, politely hands it over. She asks him to tell her she said thanks. Carlos is has an awkward but appreciates it.) ~Carlos will remember that.
Luke ---------- TO UPSTAIRS
-Talk to (Clem approaches him and Rebecca, overhearing them. Luke tells her to give Clem a chance at least, Rebecca says if he's serious, he says just try, Rebecca sighs. Clem asks Luke, confused, where should she sleep. Luke stutters for a second, saying he might have a spot. Rebecca glances at Clem as Luke gets up. Clem catches Bec looking at her but looks back at Luke who tells her to follow him. Clem follows Luke upstairs as Rebecca turns to the fire, looking at it.
------------ CABIN (UPSTAIRS)
Luke will stand by the door to Nick's room waiting for Clem.
Door -------TO NICK'S ROOM
-Enter (Luke will knock on Nick's door. HOWEVER if you have Sarah's book still, Luke will tell Clem she'd better give that book to her. He'll wait here till you return.)
Sarah's Room [if you have book/are friends, only]
-Enter (Clem knocks on the door, Sarah asks who is it in a sad way, Clem says it's me. Sarah sounds relieved and tells her to come in. Clem walks in and shuts the door. Clem looks curious as Sarah looks down, handing her book back. Sarah looks up and takes it back, asking if she liked it. Clem says she didn't get to read it sadly, too late right now. Sarah looks down. Clem asks what's wrong, Sarah says depressingly that got mad at her for giving Clem the peroxide. Clem says if she hadn't, Clem would've died, Sarah looks up realizing that. Clem heads out to the door to walk out. Clem holds the knob and glances at Sarah.
A) Thank you. (Clem smiles and thanks her. Sarah smiling and saying she`s welcome as Clem leaves her room.)~Sarah will remember that.
Goodnight, Sarah. (Clem smiles and says goodnight. Sarah smiling and saying goodnight as Clem leaves her room.)~Sarah will remember that.
C) ... (Clem silently looks at her calmly, then leaves the room.)~Sarah will remember that.
D) Sorry for the trouble I've caused. (Clem apologizes for getting her in trouble, and if you threatend her, apologizes for threatening Sarah. Sarah looks at her a surprised look as Clem leaves the room.)~Sarah will remember that.
Once you get to Nick's room and have Luke knock on his door, Nick will open the door and asks what is it to him. Luke asks Nick if he can let Clem sleep in his room for the night. Nick's answer is based on if you forgave him or not.
~~~~~~~~~~~ FORGAVE NICK
Nick will say yes, Clem smiles and Nick steps aside, letting her walk in. Luke leaves and Nick shuts the door. Clem looks around, Nick points out she can sleep in his bed. She looks at it, it's only one bed.
A) Okay, thanks. (Clem smiles with a tired look at Nick who stands.)
What about you? (Clem looks at with a raised eyebrow, saying there's only one. Nick shrugs saying he'll sleep on the floor. He can't stand sleeping on chairs. Clem smirks.)
Clem sits on the bed as Nick gets down on the floor. Clem remives her hat and lays it on the end table. Clem then lays down on her side, facing Nick. Nick sits, complimenting her hat, saying it's cool. Clem smiles and says yours too. Nick looks at her hat, noticing it went through hell. She replies it has its history. She wipes her smile away, telling him her dad let her borrowed when she went on vacation, it's all she has left of her family. Nick laying down, saying how he remembered how he got his. He tells her him and Luke were in an arcade many years ago back in high school. He bought himself it since it was from his favourite game. He smiles. Nick yawns, saying those were good times, then goes to sleep on the floor. Clem looks at her hat, remembering Lee and her parents, she closes her eyes to sleep as a tear rolls down from her eye.
~~~~~~~~ DIDN'T FORGIVE NICK
Nick will angrily say no he's not gonna sleep in the same room as her. Luke tries to tell him to give her a break, Nick asks he's serious, tells him to leave him alone. Shuts the door. Both Clem and Luke looks down, sighing. Clem turns to see Carlos walking up the stairs and entering Sarah's room. Luke turns to Clem telling her he guess she'll sleep downstairs with him tonight instead. Luke and Clem walks down the stairs, as they walk to the couches Clem glances to see Pete entering the kitchen to sleep. Luke sits on the green couch and Clem sits on the brown one, opposite of Luke. Luke will blow out the candles on the coffee table as Clem take off the her hat and lays it on the table. Luke looks up and chuckles, joking how messy her hair is. Clem feels a little insulted but then smiles, realizing he's teasing. Luke apologizes about Nick to Clem, he explains he just has that temper that gets in the way.
A)It's all right. (Clem shrugs it off, Luke is glad she understands.)
B)Nick is kind of a dick. (Luke laughs a bit and partially agrees but says Nick is a real good guy, he's just troubled, give him time.)
C)I should've been nicer. (Luke says there's nothing she can do about it now, maybe she can make up for it later, he guesses.)
C1) I guess so. (Clem says so with an unsure look. Luke says the same goes for him too.)
C2) Same goes for you too. (Clem says with a mad look, Luke says he knows. He'll make up for it.)
Afterwards, both lays down on their couches. Luke will go to sleep and Clem looks at her hat on the coffee table. Looking at it with sad eyes before she goes to sleep.
Excellent Work!
Thanks! This episode took me about approximately 29 hours(minus choice examinations) to write, it gave me a very good look into the ones who type the episodes for us. The amount of typing is tremendous(I hate to know how much typing Season 1's episodes were).
Actually, I just wanted to rewrite EP1 and 4. Episode 2, 3 and 5 are really well written. In the true, if anybody say EP5 is cliche, tell me, you expected that end? I mean, Kenny VS Jane. Episode five is the better written episode I already seen, no just because of that, but because of the twists. Nick ( The Writer ) is actually one of the bests writers I ever seen, because a synopsis of a Zombie Game/Movie is always cliche, but he... seriously, I just love him. If he stay on S3, I really don't think anybody will need to tell the own version of the story.
Thank you for doing it!
PD: You are going to rewrite all or just some parts?
ALL
A masterpiece
