Nick Breckon need write the entire season 3.
well not is a coincidence but the three episodes that write Nick are the best of season 2.
what happen with carver,nick,sarah treatment in ep3 and with ep4 amid ruins in the hands of Nick,probably the episodes have more sense.
i hope Nick write the entire season 3.
for season 3 we need see what happen with Clem and Alvin jr,what happen with the group of 400 days(That would be great see what happen with Vince,Wyatt,Rusell,Shel and Becca),Eddie and nate,the fate of christa and Lily.
well have much themes of interest for next season

I second that
My only criticism for how No Going Back was written was how it blatantly favoured Kenny and painted him in a sympathetic light no matter what you did. Besides that, good job Nick!
That would be great but I doubt they would do that
I'm kind of curious why Telltale even has multiple writers in the first place. What's the benefit? I mean, surely having one person write would've made the story feel a lot less disjointed...
It is a double-edge sword. You are right that it can feel disjointed, but multiple writers allows Telltale to draw on different experiences and skills. Maybe some writers are better with actions but lacks in dialogues. Others are better at comedy but lacks in mixing it with drama.
For example, I have notices that Nick Beckon is better at writing dialogues, good narrative and establishing connections between the characters, but probably lacked a bit in actions and mystery and thus Pierre Shorette (The writer of TWAU episode Faith) helps with mystery and actions.
i feel like they at least need to write a strong story arc for the entire season, and give the season a sense of direction and purpose before getting to the specifics of each episode, and even plan out specific character arcs, then at least if they do have multiple writers, they will all know who everybody is, what role they play in the bigger picture of the entire seasons story, what they are capable of and where everything is going.
Pretty sure that's exactly what they do.
Yes please, Nick Breckon would be amazing for Season 3! A House Divided is my favorite episode to date (Not counting No Going Back because it's still too early to judge).
they probably do to some extent, but i think it was clear that this season had no direction except "existing in a zombie apocalypse" i think a stronger main plot would have helped, and more character planning would have helped some of the inconsistencies eg. carver episode 2 and 3 are really different, and clementine episode 3-4 does everything and is a total badass, episode 2 she maybe is borderline doing to much, but 1 and 5 she was treated and acted like a child, not your average child but still a child.
I feel like Nick Breckon should have been the lead writer on all episodes this season and written the general plot and characters arcs and then he should have a small group of 'side writers' to work with who could draw on any weaknesses. It would certainly solve some of the inconsistencies and make for better writing, rather than having to patch up the shabby writing of episode 3 and 4 all in the final episode
I second this!
Whoever wrote this last episode should be embarrassed! It was an anticlimactic piece of crap and telltale should be embarrassed that they had this garbage as the season finale. I love the series but damn what a let down this episode was
Except he didn't. I had the exact opposite impression.
With a hint of Pierre Shorette of course.
It definitely didn't paint him in a sympathetic light at all. One of the episode's main focuses seemed to be how Kenny was showing parallels with Carver, and he ended up attempting to murder Jane which led to probably the most difficult choice I've made in the entire franchise.
I know fo' sure if Nick wrote the entire season 2 , episode 5 would have been different
I don't care who writes it as long as it's good. Season 2 was pretty shitty all around, still can't get over the fact an 11 year old girl was just shot at point blank range and is alive without any trained doctors
They could have teams of writers writing the episodes with the ep5 endings in mind.
At the very least I hope they keep the same lead writer for all episodes. Telltale seriously need more vision.
Indeed he was punching people, shouting out orders and being a general dick to everyone but Clem. As always haha.
Yep. I found it hard to like Kenny, even though I loved the character.
But you got over the fact that 8 year old girl dragged passed away adult man through garage door?
Get over it, simple as that.
Shot in a non lethal spot with a .22 rifle and the bullet went strait trough. I dont see the big deal.
This. People keep complaining about season two errors that have been present in season one as well, but back then, no one cared. Guess it's just normal that people have to complain about everything these days.
I said in another thread that I'm hoping some of the characters from 400 Days are in Wellington.
yeah i hope see what happen with the others.
It would have, because he wouldn't have had to spend so much time fixing the mistakes of episodes 3 and 4
No it's not to an extent that is 100% what they do.
well, i don't think you understand what i mean, they could have just wrote "luke gonna drown" or "carver gonna be a bad guy" on a scrap of paper and you may count that as 100% of character planning, but what i mean is detailed well planed out arcs, and there really wasn't a main story except existing in the ZA, the developers even said that.
i'm not saying they just winged the entire season, obviously they didn't, but i think they could have done more, especially for Clementines character development of which there was very little.
It painted him in a sympathetic light but it doesn't negate all the terrible stuff he did like Abuse and descriminate against Arvo, be openly hostile to everyone else. He and Jane was equally repulsive and compelling imo.
They should both just be the writers together then.
Episode 3 had its problems but the impact and action was there, he just really lacked the dialogue and downtime.
But Episode 4 was the biggest crime since Ep. 3 was chaotic, 4 was meant to kind of be a reprieve and reflect character development which never happened.
It'd be better probably. Nick breckon seemed to really have the emotional pull and pacing.
I can't even agree with this more.
Nick Breckon saved this season imo.
I agree.
It should only be one writer anyways, or they need to speak to each other way more than they did.
There were so many loose ends and character's behaviour completley making a 180 turn, it hurt in the soul sometimes.
I want one writer for Season 3 who can live all of his ideas, and after what he did with 'No Going Back'...Nick Breckon saved this Season, and I want him for the entirety of Season 3.
yeah the episodes 1,2 and 5 write for Nick are the best of season 2.
Here's more reasons if you're not convinced that he's a good writer.
Nick Breckon is the best Writer
I think what MerakMissile means is that no matter what you do, Kenny always ends up looking sympathetic, even when you kill him, he tells you you made the right choice, and looking almost like an innocent man who got shot and the fact that Clem cries every time Kenny leaves from Wellington or when you kill him, even though your Clementine probably didn't have much of a relationship with Kenny, it's really just personal preference, from where I stand, I liked that Nick didn't completely demonize Kenny when he lost it with Jane.
Funny you mention that since both Nick and Pierre BOTH worked on Season 2 episode 5.
