Clementine's story is over.
There are five endings:
1: clementine with Jane and a new family.
2: clementine with only Jane.
3: clementine alone with the baby (my ending)
4: clementine with the baby at Wellington.
5: clementine with Kenny and the baby.
Each one is a good ending for her. Alone, she becomes like jane, but with a purpose. At Wellington she has a new life. With Kenny she has an old friend by her side. With jane, she has a new life ahead of her. Each one is a good ending in its own right. And I choose to believe the one where Kenny leaves you at Wellington is the best. But still.... They gave clementine a good story. And I loved it. I'll be off the forums for a few months, starting right now. I'll see y'all around.

Yeah totally agree her story is finished telltale would not make a new story with 5 different play throughs it would take too much time
Yep, I'm sure the only reason they went crazy with multiple endings is because they plan to start a new story in Season 3. All of Clem's endings were pretty final. No cliffhangers like Season 1.
People will be in denial for a while, though.
If Clementine isn't in season 3, Nick Beckon better be writing every single episode if any original characters are to have even the slightest chance of gaining the amount of popularity Lee, Kenny, and especially Clementine had. I'm pretty sure that when people think of The Walking Dead game, they think of Clementine. It is going to take a lot of effort from the writers to change that, and based off of some of the weaker episodes of this season, I'm not sure if they can do it.
So the reason they said "We have 5 different endings and we'll figure out what to do with it. We just felt like these endings were fit for this season." was...?
Just think about it, even if they connected the best things of this season with the best things of season 1 and made the best season ever, they'd still lose so much buyers just for the reason there's no Clementine in it.
This is a gaming company, not a charity, they need money to expand. It's not easy to become big these days with so much competition. They're not gonna fuck themselves over for no reason whatsoever.
Goodbye Clementine....I will miss you :,(
They obviously won't say outright what they're gonna do for Season 3. There's a year or two before it comes out. They have to leave it in the dark, keep people speculating.
So you believe that Telltale needs to start a new story, from zero? I don't wanna be pesimistic but it will be kinda difficult to make a new set of characters which are going to be a match to these we have been knowing for almost 3 years.
But they could start with a new protagonist and a new group without having to leave Clem out of the story. What if she makes an appearance and has an important role to play and her actions will depend on who you made her become. Maybe our new character will find the store where she is with Jane and she will either let us in or refuse based on our choices. Or our character could stumble upon her alone or with Kenny and they would interact together. And finally, our character could come to Wellington several months after the ending so that they now accept new people and there we meet Clem and discover how people live there.
And from there, in all of these situations we could for various reasons ask her to come with us and from now on she will be a part of our group. Kenny and Jane are both determinant, so they could die when we meet them at the beginning and we decide to let Clem come with us. Maybe Wellington isn't as good as it seemed to be and our character help Clem escape from it.Finally, if we meet Clem when she's all alone we could save her life and from there we would become friends with her and get to know how she manages to survive on her own.
No. Just no. Go check out IGN's Episode 5 spoilercast. Just do it, and listen very carefully when they talk about Season 3 and leaving the baby. "We'll have to leave that to Season 3". Her story is not over, there is so much more to tell.
If you were fooled by that, you've fallen for their pep talk.
It's just what developers have to say to keep the things up in the air. They can't say straightaway what they're gonna do with Season 3.
They'd never say directly "we had multiple endings because season 3 will be a new story". It's too soon for that.
No it's not over! It cannot end this soon.
Agreed. IMO, there's not much left they can do. I'd prefer to remember her as a child anyway.
Everything is possible. And i respect the opinions. But i refuse to believe they are done with this story.
Thats like Ricks group dying and starting over with some random people in the tv show.
They may choose a new protagonist, but im sure Clem will be around at some point.
and you still believe that telltale making a 5 stories???? man they couldn't handle the Determinant characters and 2 months for a single episode???
i hate to say this but Clem's story is over
Why 5 different stories for season 3? They could bring each 5 endings result to the same place in the story by the end of episode 1 of season 3 (for example) or make a DLC for season 2 so season 3 could start with the same events for everyone. It's just theory but it's possible. We'll see what Telltale will do though.
Exactly.
Maybe so but we can't also assume that because of multiple endings Clementine's story is over. We don't know that until Telltale will say so. In fact they didn't said that it's over for Clem but they also didn't say anything about her in season 3 so all we do right know is speculating. I think we'll be speculating for a few months at least. Or maybe a year. In any case we'll have something to talk about, you know?
I mean during our wait for season 3.
I doubt that will be the end of Clementine, i think she will be in Season 3 as non playable but she will talk about her past differently depending on the choices.
No way, that " Who would who become ? " can't just be for episode 5.
I really hope we will play with Clem again. Her story... It just can't end this way.
That's exactly their intent, they want us to speculate. They couldn't have said it's gonna be this way for sure, or this other way. They needed to keep things ambiguous, that's what they were trying to do when Greg kept insisting with the questions.
no i don't think so
She's not gone
They will somehow combine the 5 endings or make a time skip. I think that Episode 1 starts different for everyone, but at the end of Episode 1, you'll all end up on the same place, whatever the ending was.
Also, many people wouldn't want a new character so the game would lose a big part of fans. Do you think TTG want that? Hell no they dont.
And you have every right to not agree with me.
But it's my opinion and I'm gonna stick with it. At least until Telltale will confirme that Clementine won't be in season 3.
the people are still in denial they just have to deal with it
I know. Don't forget that they confirmed Clementine as protagonist of season 2 a few months after season 1 was finished.
By the time it happened fans speculated that maybe we'll play as new character, Omid, Christa, Molly or even as Kenny. We're facing the same situation right now. 
For example - I want Clementine to be protagonist again but it's my theory. Either way I can't find out who will be our main character. Few months remains to this information. I hope.
i really want her to appear in season 3.
Exactly my thoughts . S3 E1 will probably start differently based on the ending, but end the same for everyone.
But you don't think it'll happen with so many possible endings? I see. Well... like I said - we'll find out someday. I personally think that starting new story with new people would be a waste because everything that happened in previous season wouldn't matter. I want season 3 to be somehow connected with season 1 and 2 events. Somehow.
Remember that it's just theory. Some people might ask "how could different events lead to the same place in the story?". They're right. It's hard thing to do but not impossible. For example - we could start differently in episode 1 but by the end of this episode we could be attacked by some group of survivors and end up alone again or only with AJ. I don't know, it's just my idea. I'm curious about Telltale's ideas for season 3 but first they need to finish their present projects.
I have many personal reasons as to why and how Clementine should return. Why should she return? All five endings leave her character up in the air. What if Wellington isn't what it's cracked up to be? What if her relationship with Jane or Kenny has broken down? How is she coping alone with AJ? Many other important reasons too. None of the current endings really give her closure imo. Telltale's The Walking Dead has always been about Clementine, and always should be.
Now there's the question as to how she could return. One I thought of today would be that season 3 starts like 2 or 3 years after season 2, and here could be flashback scenes that occur across the whole season which will explain how she got there. These flashbacks would be unique to the endings we got to season 2. For example one of them could show Clementine and AJ starving at Wellington, and reluctantly heading back into the zombie nightmare.
The only way I can see the 3rd season working is if:
It is many years in the future (Clem as and adult or in late teens)
The story revolves around a character whose fate is unknown (Christa, Lilly, Molly, etc)
Someone new is the main character
It's not the same situation, there is no cliffhanger.
No. While 5 endings means 5 different stories, season 3 could always start the same way season 2 did, with a timeskip, or maybe the stories can lead up to one point. Clementine's story isn't over yet, theres a lot of potential for a good storyline. In season 1 we protected and taught her, inseason 2 she matured and in season 3 she could do and become a whole lot more. To build her character up, just for her to be put aside is like a whole different story and would not be great for the franchise. Clementine's story is the walking dead's story.
Nonetheless, we just have to wait to see whether Clem's story is over or not.
I hope her story ends here, continuing it would kind of ruin the point of the multiple endings

It can't be over for her! Best game character ever
Ive said this a few times when people have questioned how they could do a season 3 now. Easy. Start again...if they didnt it'd suck anyway because we already know Kenny and Jane would be dead before the end, being detrimant characters and all...
So what? After season 1 fans discussed about who will be protagonist and we're doing it now again. What's the difference?
I pray her story is over. To me it was the perfect ending(s).
