i want a character like sarah in season 3...

But maybe instead of her having issues she can kill walkers and stuff? As long as shes sweet and I love her <3

they should build this sweet, loving character up until the season 3/4 finale and then kill her. Hopefully shes 15 like Sarah.

Do you want a sweet character like Sarah in season 3?

  • I'm open for another Sarah archetype, but I'd rather such archetype didn't appear again after how the issue was badly handled in Amid The Ruins.

    I'd love to see characters like Sarita and Sarah - caring women who are valued for their kindness rather than their violence - if the writers don't simply use their deaths as tools to make 'tough' characters feel bad. Or if the writers didn't outright hate them for not being 'tough'. Or if they hadn't existed purely to be defined as some tough guy's girlfriend or daughter.

    It's not that I'm against horrible things happening to them, but there are better ways to develop those characters rather than leave them static by killing them off. Sarita deserved a chance to speak on her own behalf if her bite hadn't been amputated.

  • then let telltale brutally kill them or give them a stupid bad written death?

  • That. That would suck. Maybe if they at least make this new character likable to some extent this time, maybe I wouldn't have a problem with them.

  • Sarita deserved better. The moment I laid my eyes on her in her introduction in A House Divided, I knew she was going to be a walking plot device. I wanted so desperately for her to not turn out to be a Katjaa 2.0 and end up a character of her own that didn't involve Kenny in anyway, but it never happened.

    The story wouldn't have changed much, if at all, had Sarita never existed thanks to the way the story went in Season 2.

  • What would have really been 'edgy' and 'daring' would be for her to survive and be an independent character, rather than simply exist to lazily rehash a plot device that had already been used in Season 1. Or for Sarah to beat the odds and survive just as Clementine has.

    Let's face it: in real life, 'tough' people die all the time to stupid mistakes while the 'weak' can survive overwhelming odds. I quite liked how Carlos and Pete's deaths exemplified this truth. The only reason why one-eyed Kenny lasted as long as he did was because the writers themselves were too afraid to consider the possibility that he might not be cut out for survival.

  • If I may be bold here, I suspect that the reason why Telltale reused story elements from the first Season was because they were too scared to try something new with the story. I mean the following could have been done to make Season 2 appear better that what we had been given:

    • Kenny dying due to his wounds given by Carver and Sarita surviving, which enables us to learn more about Sarita.
    • Sarah and Nick, the so-called weakest links, surviving the entire season, proving that you don't need to be a hardcore survivalist to survive.
    • Jane dying in an ironic way, saved by no-one because she's not able to rescue herself in an unlucky accident and no-one else cared enough about her to save her.

  • She wasn't sweet. She was overshelterd and was unable to cope with reality. Carlos was as a genius at parenting as he was at being a doctor.

  • I would've prefered Sarah having a whole arc where she learns how to survive and Clementine becomes her guardian, Like Lee....

  • Sarah deserved more, it was almost as bad as Nick's death.

  • Well, there's AJ. He's pretty much just going to be there to be a little bundle of joy and sweetness while everything around him goes shit.

  • sarah was a pain in the ass
    just how many people died because of her????

  • Nick deserved more. whats the point of the promise in ep 2?

    I think that was for the original story, i think they rewrote the story in episode 2 to include Kenny, and didn't change the story in some parts. I think Nick, Sarah, Carlos were going to have much bigger roles until the rewrite.

    i liked sarah.

    but i let her die at the first chance.

    she brought however a nice diversity though the group and she taught clem a valuable lesson.

  • yeah if you don't cunt Reggie , Nick and she panicked when carlos got shot which led to sarita's death and group splitting up when they were trying to go through the herd of zombies.

  • Carlos was screaming anyway...
    If you cut Sarahs berrys, its clems fault.
    Nick dies in episode two or gets bit.

  • I liked Sarah, however, she was treated as a liability so she became one.

  • yes carlos was screaming but he almost immediatly died after that but sarah kept on screaming and draw attention of walkers to her and clem.sarah is so dumb that she can't even understand a simple thing like cutting berrys but you blame clem for that?even if you don't help sarah , she will screw up everthing and makes carver mad because of that and carver will kill Reggie for it. yes Nick can die in episode two but if he survives he will die because he went with luke to help sarah . sorry if my English is bad or if there is any grammar mistake.

  • Carlos wasnt screaming he was shot in the neck by Tavia and her crew which then he said "augh" and the walkers heard that so they ate him. that wasnt Sarah's fault. BUT she wasnt paying attention to Reggie when he himself explained how to cut the berries,so she didnt understand, which caused clementine to help her (optional). Reggie's death was all Sarah's fault. Oh and she DID scream in the middle of the herd, which caused Sarita's AND Nick's death and the group splitting up. and no Nick didnt die nor did the get bit on episode 2. maybe you confused him with pete?

    And if the writers really were brave and daring, they'd actually prove him wrong.

    Come to think of it, Sarah also slowly comes around if you didn't leave her to die. Yet because the writers are as intelligent as their target audience, the ridiculously contrived accident that she gets killed in is held as proof that she was totally a lost cause and helping her would be a complete waste of time.

    Somehow, I think she 'deserved' redemption way more than a certain violent old man...

    And what else was she supposed to do ? It was already stressful for her to be walking through a herd (unlike Clem she never had to do it before) but she also saw the only person that knew her and protected her die a horrible death just in front of her.

    I don't know for you but I know that if I was in the same situation as her and witnessed someone I love die like that in front of me I would have the same reaction as her.There are certain things you can't control.

  • Too many young people who play this game fantasize about being the invincible anti-hero.

    In reality, they'd likely be the walking dead.

    I would like to have a character that is around the same age as Clem.I liked how despite the fact that Sarah is older than Clem, it was Clem who took care of her and helped her.It was a nice friendship they had (if you chose to become her friend).

    I would find it interesting to see how Clem would react towards a little girl her age.Because Clem has seen so much horror she was forced to grow up too fast, but meeting someone that is the opposite of what she has become, someone that would help her keep her humanity, would be very interesting I think.

  • I loved Sarah, but please, no. Telltale has already proven they don't care about people like her.

  • edited September 2014

    i think you could have a sweet loving character without them being completely incompetent and a huge liability, it's not like they have to be xena or rambo, but maybe something like ben level competency would be the minimum, i know there are a lot of jokes about ben's competency but he would be like a god in a team of sarahs, a lot of people saw "potential" in sarah but she sure didn't show any reason why she shouldn't already be dead.

    anyway i would like sweet caring characters but not complete liabilities we have to babysit.

  • Indeed..... I feel that Reggie would've died no matter what. He was clearly on thin ice with that maniac.

    Sweet people are great.

    But in life or death situations... Competent people are best. Those are not mutually exclusive. Lee was the nicest person to everyone (unless they give him reason not to be) and was the voice of reason but he knew how to handle any given situation.

    I never said that. I meant character-wise. If another innocent girl like Sarah were to be introduced, she would most likely have a horrible death to serve as shock value. That would bring nothing new to the table, and I'd rather not see it again.
