Beast as PC for season 2?
I don't know if this idea has been suggested here before, but I'm familiar enough with the comics to remember there was a period of time when Beast became sheriff of Fabletown. Could he fill the role of PC in S2?
Before anyone kicks up the usual fuss about "pre-established personalities", I should point out that although Beast had a few recurring appearances in S1, he wasn't as nearly a prominent character as Kenny or Clementine. Other than his opinion of Bigby, Beast is a good middle ground between being set in stone and a total blank slate.

It has been suggested before.
The problem is that Beast's time as the Sheriff of Fabletown is too short for anything major to happen. Beast's time as Sheriff of Fabletown was between Volume 5 and Volume 15, that is maybe 3-4 years; in that time he was mostly preparing for the war against the Empire with Bigby, and nothing major is ever referenced as happening in between his training.
Unless TellTale comes up with something that Willingham agrees can happen, it probably won't...
Also; Beast is a lot nicer than Bigby as Sheriff, during his early days the townspeople walk all over him, that's when Beast finally realizes that the reason Bigby was so hard with people was because they were hard with him. Even though Beast becomes more determined, he never reaches Bigby's level of 'tough guy'
I think everyone agrees that Bigby > Beast
Rather have it be Bigby tbh. I would still play a S2 has Beast, don't get me wrong, but that would seem better for a DLC.
Like the HazzatheMan said, his run as Sheriff (before the Fabletown went to war, and were bombarded with the crisis of Dark Man) has been short (compared to Bigby, who had like centuries?), and Beast's run as Sheriff is gernally shown to be relatively peaceful.
Would rather they just continue with Bigby to be honest.
Playing as a buff Kenny would be interesting, but it wouldn't be something that a lot of players would like in the long-run. People want to see that wolf hair instead, I'm sure you understand.
I don't, actually. That's probably a good thing.
Bigby became Sheriff in the mid-1700's (he was Sheriff BEFORE a Mayor and Deputy Mayor were selected, so technically Bigby is the longest serving member of Fabletown's government)
Lol, I was just kidding around. Basically, what I meant to say is that the majority of players would rather prefer playing as Bigby over anyone else.
