Would you like Season 3 to have romance?
If Clementine is our main character again and much older in Season 3, could having her meet someone and bond with them throughout the game work? Or would you prefer Clementine to be alone? I believe that it could work. Season 1 had choices that affected relationships with characters too.

Yes pls.
Nah, romance in a lot of stuff usually feels forced or unnecessary. Besides, romance has never really been key in The Walking Dead. Also, imagine if we played as Clem or someone else who loves someone, and the player doesn't like him/her? It would be really difficult to incorporate, it's a hit or miss scenario.
yeeeeeeah! take that virginity
Well, not that I like the idea, but that issue is easily solved by giving us the choice of what character Clem loves.
I'd like to bond with someone as Clem, but not getting her into a romance. Not yet actually. For now I just want her to have like a best friend who's just like her and around her age.
Boy or girl, it'd be awesome in my opinion. (And it'd be interesting to know a child who actually knows how to survirve and is good at it ; like our Clem.)
It could be determinant. Like with Lee and Carley...
( I'm not getting Clem into a romance now anyway xD )
Like kissing stuff? Nah, I want to find good people for Clementine to be around to help her survive and teach her some stuff and thangs, not trying to get her laid (I realize that romance does not mean sex).
Don't you touch our Clementine!
A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle.
Jk, but seriously, we don't need a love story. Even if she's gone through puberty in season 3, we just really don't need an ad hoc love story.
Having a romance option as Clementine would feel incredibly awkward and forced, even if Clementine has aged into her teens or so.
Romance, hell no. Like people said, it will feel forced and it would take away from the rest of the game. I would prefer my Clem not have anything to do with romance and be focused on surviving.
Romance? No. I think she needs to bond with someone but not with romance.
ASAC Schrader, the original badass.
Don't judge me, but either clementine makes friends with someone in wellington or howes, or....
Clarvo.
That is all.
WHAT THE HELL?!
#JudgingYou
Romance? She's 11. Clem can have as many friends as she wants, but "romance" is too serious business for her. Oh God, Lee himself must be turning over in his grave right now.
@OP How the hell do you want that to happen? They look longingly into each others' eyes and whisper "Oh sweety, remember that time you shot me and left me for dead?"
not gonna happen the oldest she will be is 13
anyone touchs my clementine
Wow, I'm stalking this thread... (aka: still awake and bored)
Anyway, I don't know, obviously it wasn't romance, but I had my first huge crush at 13, so it's not too far away. Plus girls mature earlier, and I know even before then my friend had the hugest crush on one of the Backstreet Boys when they came out... because yes, I'm that old...
Having a crush is slighty different. I just don't wanna see the kissin' stuff. My eyes would explode.
F.U.C.K.N.OOOOOOOOOOO!
I said if Clem is much older...
I'd prefer someone else to play as.
No, i want them to meet up again, and he's scared that clementines gonna hurt him and he apoligizes, my clementine would forgive him, and maybe develop a relationship, Because i know he was just scared, i would have done it in a zombie apocalypse too.
Clem: Who are you?
Boy: Your love interest silly! Because all main female protagonists need one of those! Hey, wanna play tic-tac-toe with me!? =D
Clem:
.
Uh...no o_o
I don't mind there being other characters that fall in wuv, but no. Best to leave Clem out of relationships with romance for now. She's only eleven.
Well, what we want to see, and what she at that age would want are completely different. I agree I don't want to see that either, but when I was that age I totally dreamed about that person (my engaged teacher o_O) taking me into the closet and kissing me silly (never thought more than that at that age).
Though, (not to accuse you) I think there is a double standard here - we're so used to young boys liking and kissing their first crush in their early teens, but we really don't have the same thing with girls (an exception being Sofia Capolla's The Virgin Suicides which is such a good movie). I mean, I think a lot of us see Clementine from a mother/father perspective, and so we want to protect her, but, (if there's a time skip), I think we should acknowledge that she would be interested in boys at that age and should be supportive of it the same way we would boys at that age.
Basically, think if she really were you're daughter - as much as we would want to protect her from the hurt that can come from that area, I really hope that when I have a daughter I'll be there to listen to the boys she likes, to root for her in finding the boyfriend she'd like, to keep her aware of the emotional/physical dangers. We shouldn't hope that are sons 'get the girl' and at the same time try and shield our daughters from dating. I'd like to think that I'd cheer her on the same way I would a son, and try and keep her away from or assuage the heartbreak the same way I would a son. In short, if I had a son, would I ever threaten a girl she liked saying 'don't touch my son!' - I don't think so. So I shouldn't with a daughter.
That said, I still don't want a love story in S3 because I think it would be totally forced. But there I'm talking about the narrative of season 3; not Clementine as a character or even as a video-game-adopted-daughter.
Romance on the battlefield never works out. Ask Otocon.
Only if the playable character was other than Clem. If the PC is still Clem, she is way too young to get into any romance or anything.
I'm perfectly okay with Clem having a relationship with boy/girl at the similar age, if such thing would be properly created, run naturally and gradually evolve along with the plot. I belive love is an important part of human life, and sooner or later everyone of us will get to know its charms (and curses), that is why we shouldn't try to separate anyone from exploring it. What I'm saying is - each child develops at its own pace, and if the relationship focused on love doesn't fit Clementine's character, it shouldn't be inlined in the story.
No. The second this franchise turns into Twilight I will be done.
I guess you would think that since your name is roc- oh wait, never mind, he's into minerals not rocks.
I wouldn't mind a character around Clementines age, perhaps having a crush on her yet she doesn't have a crush back, and can be openly nice to him (as friends) or push them away after all she's been through.
I never really thought Lee and Carley were having a romance, but that's just me.
You would shoot a little girl and leave her for dead?
If i was scared, and her best friend was a psychopath who attacks me constantly, then yes.
A overused trope, the romance subplot is. Hmmmmmm.
But Walt's into the rock~
Edit: Oops,that's crack not meth...
That's exactly the idea I had in mind.
