Season 3 What should the theme be?

I'm thinking they should change up game, the whole survivor thing is fun, but we did that. I think the writers should give Clementine a vacation for season 3, its the only thing in my mind that makes sense, with all the endings. Then write a entire new story, that has nothing to do with the Clementine Universe. <don't freak out clementine fan's i'm not advocating getting rid of her forever, just for the season.> So i was thinking, we played the role as the survivor with lee, and we played as the child survivor with Clementine.
Now i am thinking they should change it up. Maybe you take the role of a group leader, and your decisions that you make in the game, change the outcome of your community. Do you take in the new survivors, or do you turn them away, do you make deals with bandits, or do you become bandits yourself to survive. People challenge you for control of the group, do you convince them to follow you, do you step down, or do you rule with force.
Suggest any ideas of themes you would like to see.

If there were no clementine and nothing to do with the universe why call it the walking dead?
The walking dead is famous because of clementine.
With her gone , what's the point?
It would be like making 400 days but instead of a dlc it takes place over a whole season.
Not a lot of us would enjoy that.
Rebuilding Civilization and communicating Walkers.
Your idea is good, But It'd be good as a spin-off series, Not as a follow-up to the current walking dead storyline.
I believe that Season 3 is a challenge for TTG. They need to merge the group interactions and team playing atmosphere of Season 1 and how you forged your own character in Season 2, To start off Clementine's true journey. And I also believe that a time skip is very possible.
Not a lot of us would enjoy that.
I am pretty sure most people who enjoy the TWD game franchise would be happy with anything they put out, don't be so over dramatic, its only a few people that are no ClemnoBuy.
But what would be the point of season 1 & 2 if it has no effect on season 3?
It would be like another game , nothing related to the walking dead except the name.
(?) Lee's gonna fuck you up!
I would like if clem grew up a little and the baby too, so they can survive together (and a little romance with clem and other survivor boy from her age eheh)
That would be up to the writers, i know what i would do with it, but they don't want me writing their stories.. Or they haven't asked yet...
If it was up to me whoever remains alive would eventually come into that group, depending on your choices at the end of season 2.
Romance? Aww hell naw, not with that boy. And please, if they make romance, don't make it feel forced.
Read the op post.
Also , the previous seasons play a major role in the story.
What would be the point in naming it "the walking dead" when it has nothing to do with "the walking dead"
Well how do you explain away the 5 different endings, without it being bad?
It could be done like bioware heart thing, i would be ok with that as long as its optional.
I don't exactly know what you're asking but I'm gonna assume you said "How will they make all 5 endings come together without it being bad"
I'm guessing through out episode one a series of events will happen causing clementine to end up in vaguely the same place. I don't know where , maybe wellington or howes?
But anyway it will have to come together , otherwise telltale will be writing 5 different versions of the game.
Well, if Season 3 is gonna start with Clementine again, I'd like to see Clem looking sadly at an old bite scar on her arm.
It'd be interesting to play as someone new who could be able to complete Clem's story after the end of Season 2 - showing us a corpse of Kenny/Jane on the road (that would allow both story to intersect and make a one, main storyline) or something that belonged to Clementine (do not forget about her; see Christa, you are given an option to ask Edith if Christa was in Wellington). New angle of the story, but still kinda the same story.
I wouldn't say that playing as a survivor as Lee and a child survivor as Clem were really the "themes" of the season. Season 1 of the game was about Lee finding redemption for his past mistakes by caring for a little girl as a father. Season 2 was about Clem's desperate search for people she can trust and call family. So there's kind of a thread running through the series concerning the familial bonds that people form in dire circumstances and the lengths that they will go to preserve those bonds. They're probably going to want to continue that in Season 3.
I just don't see them doing it successfully without some sort "i got real lucky." Scenario.
I don't know , edith said that there might be room in a few months and the amount of supplies left at carvers camp is minimal.
I don't know , but when you think about it what other choice will clem have after the supplies are finished?
wellington or bust.
I recall one of the previews for Season 2 having the writers talk about civilization being rebuilt. I honestly thought that Carver's storyline was going to represent that theme - that the story would have been about different groups arguing over which way was the best to rebuild society. But instead, the storyline focused once again on the idea of men turning into savages.
Carver was killed for Kenny's character development, because in the end Season 2 was more focused on the idea of a good man going insane rather than about a little girl or about a dictator.
I would like to see the theme of you cant trust anyone, they were going to explore more upon that theme in episode 3 i think but they just gave up
Texas or bust!
Kenny or bust!
Jane or bust!
Howes or bust!
Mexico or bust!
theme for season 3?
Can you come back from the things you do? This would really make choices more significant.
Slightly older Clementine and, as many others have said, the reconstruction of society would be very interesting to see. The story's focus would primarily be on bandits and rival factions; walkers would be a much less significant threat. If Clementine's not involved even remotely however, I'll be reluctant to buy the season... But I still will. I just don't think development like that should be resigned to a shelf.
I feel like Kenny was added at the last moment, like they were going to flesh out Carlos and Sarah's character more, on a few things that were said i think in Episode 1,2. Then changed their minds because they went Fan Service. I love kenny and all, but to be honest he shouldn't of come back. I think Carlos could of played the psycho role quite well.
As a guess, I can see something like a rebuild to civilisation being the central plot. Something to note is on the IGN spoilercast, the writers briefly touched on AJ and Clementine. They basically said "they didn't feel Clementine was at that point of making a choice on AJ." when asked about Clementine keeping the baby.
The only thing that's making me think it won't be about rebuilding civilisation is the sheer scale for TT to pull that off.
Religion
Why does everyone becomes a atheist in TWD? I understand TT will try to avoid this issue, but it will be very interesting, IMO.
Romance, Love
The reason to keep alive. Too bad for Lee, too young for Clem.
I think this is more of a PC for telltale to be honest. If they put one religion, then another region would get "offended." and we would have to put that religion , and then it keeps going.
The reason to keep alive. Too bad for Lee, too young for Clem.
I agree, but as long as they do it in a tasteful way , that is optional. How they did it with Carley was perfect imo.
Wrong.
NO CLEM
NO
FUCKING
BUY
I think religion could work. Hershel's Christian views in the TV series (haven't read the comics) were always cool to see and I never noticed any outrage over that.
I'd be fine with it too, i just don't see them doing it for Political Correctness.
I think Season 3's theme will be what we thought Amid the Ruins's theme would be: war.
They'll probably make a huge plot about two communities fighting each other.
That would be really interesting.
Yup, true! I hope Telltale have the balls to do it. There's no room for political correctness in a universe like The Walking Dead after all.
The leadership of Wellington, because is the only think that makes sense if they are going to continue Clem´s story.
I honestly want a complete new character in S3 with a fresh story right when the apocalypse starts, exactly like the very first part of TLOU (if you've played it). I really got attached to the game because of that part, showing the terrified people running for their lives, military everywhere, evacuations, closed roads. Playing during the early days after the outbreak is what I really would like to play. In my opinion, the idea of just "surviving the apocalypse" is what made S2 a bit boring and repetitive.
A fresh story is DLC/spin-off material. We need Clem's heavy involvement. :c The Walking Dead has never really focused on the day of the outbreak, it's always been about the ethical issues surrounding trying to survive many month/years into the apocalypse.
Why?
Because they are clearly not going to do two different paths for the two different sides and the goal of reaching Wellington was there since the first episode of the second season.
Goals in the walking dead don't always work out.
That coupled with the fact that under a fifth of all players went to Wellington makes it clear to me that if they DO canonise and ending, which they won't, it sure as hell won't be the wellington ending.
I know that, but it makes more of a narrative sense.
Also, is not about canonizing the Wellington ending, but putting all Clementine´s in Wellington somehow regardless of their ending.
