Just finished S02 E05 and was curious...
How would next season work if Clementine is protagonist? Considering we have such rich choice at the end of S02 E05 with many viable options. I personally chose to stay with Jane and not let the strangers inside. I really hope our choices matter and that we do play as Clementine in the next season too. I'm curious what you guys think?

I think at most we could have Jane or Kenny with us in season 3 for a while seeing as they are planning it from the start. People who left one will have to reunite with them and if they let both die they might have to retconn it otherwise We will start in almost the same place with Kenny/Jane for 5 minutes then continue on
Yeah, but it would be quite interesting considering there is 2 different characters at 2 different locations. If they do make it right like this then it would feel like 2 different games (which I really,really,really hope they do) and choices will matter a lot. Right now if you get to choose to save 1 character or the other no matter what you choose the other character IS going to die sooner or later which in my opinion sucks. I hope they make it right for Season 3 and whoever we picked to be with to matter and not just die at the start of the game.
I believe I can answer your question.
Time-skip.
Time-skip fixes everything.
The thing with time-skip is that the comics are not that far ahead from the game. From what I heard only 2 years further. They can't really time-skip all that much.
I was just kidding around, but I'm not very optimistic about Telltale making the effort to make several diverse opening scenes at the start of Season 3 that all eventually ties together by the next episode.
I think they will just kill off the character/s you were with since that's what they've always been doing since S01 and that will make me very angry. I put a lot of effort to keep some of them alive (Bonnie,Jane) even though we all know we have no real control over it.
Think about what The Walking Dead TV series would be without Rick to support it? It wouldn't be the same at all. I'd say the same thing goes for Clementine, so I have no doubt we'll play with her again. What I am concerned about is Jane or Kenny if you picked them.
I don't think they'll pull an Omid again, not when they made all the effort to have Kenny and Jane in the story while killing off the entire Cabin Group and kicking out all lose ends out of the story. Kenny/Jane will be sticking around for a while, I'm sure.
I'd imagine that Season 3 will start in a campfire where Clementine and Kenny/Jane (if they're around) reminiscences over what happened in the past (Howe/Wellington/Alone). Seems the most cost/time/work efficient that doesn't require as much effort as making five different openings.
That'd be nice. I think TTG knows what path they took since their games are heavy choice based. Even if it requires them to have 2 different voice actors for the choice you made in S02 I think it's worth it. People are going to appreciate it and actually believe the choices they made matter. I certainly would. The problem lies with people who for example let Jane die and shot Kenny. It's leaves a huge mess and that leads me to believe what I said above.
Right so here's how I see it.
5 endings are basically two endings.
Clem + AJ in Wellington
And
Clem + AJ in Howe's
For the first, you'd start off there if regardless of whether you chose to leave with Kenny. IN he first few minutes he dies, he's lost or he's already dead, and you end up in Wellington without him.
For the second, you end up there with the family and Jane regardless of whether you let them in as they come back and you feel you have to. The alone ending would result in Clem and AJ being alone with the family in Howe's as they got there first and let her in.
That's what I think anyway. No idea what they'll do with the two different endings after that.
I do. I get that some people are pissed about Season 2, but don't judge Season 3 before it even starts. They wouldn't have made multiple endings had they not had a plan for them, and Telltale can do something really cool by actually making the endings have an impact. Also, with all the effort and experimentation Telltale is doing lately with multiple protagonists in games like TFTBL and GOT, I have confidence in them to make the endings have an impact on the story.
before i enter this thread i was nervious, but when i saw it... phew* i think xD
that's my ending too xD what if i am xD
I also got that ending.
I think Jane/Kenny die in the first 10 minutes and Clem ends up in the same location regardless.
I don´t want it to happen but I already see it coming.
I'll admit that my playthrough with S2 had made me feel bitter about how Season 3 will play out, but I am still hoping that they will at least try to avoid taking the easy way out by making either one ending canon or creating yet another time-skip.
If it were up to me I would make Episode 1 play out differently depending on what ending you get, and create a goal for Clementine (and with Kenny/Jane) during the middle, and have all possible routes intertwine together by the end of the episode.
I've seen Borderlands and Game of Thrones, and they look promising so far. I just hope that Walking Dead S3 has the same spirit and enthusiasm S1 had.
I think with all the criticism people have been giving them as well as the fact that they have over a year to make Season 3, I doubt they're going to take the "easy route." There will not be a canon ending, what's the point of choices, that would be like everyone having Carley even though some saved Doug, it's taking the choice right out of the game. And there most likely will be a time skip, but not a big one, maybe a few weeks or a couple of months, but not another two year thing.
I think they can make enough material to make the ending last about an episode or 2 and have either Jane or Kenny live for about 2 or 3 episodes and have them contribute to the actual story. My prediction is that all the endings will eventually merge by the end of the first episode and then everyone will be caught up, but what they should do is make Season 3 6 episodes long, that way we still have a 5 episode season and one episode dedicated to our ending.
Well considering that the two main guys from Season 1 left before Season 2 was released, I doubt we are going to get the same feel of Season 1 in any future seasons, but I have complete faith in Breckon to get the job done. Breckon is a great writer, a suitable replacement for Vanaman, he just needs to make sure the other writers are aware of what's going on or write the whole season himself.
Considering they have a year to make Season 3 and how much crap they get for doing that to Omid in Season 2, I doubt they're going to do something like that again. I can see our endings play a major role and Kenny/Jane being alive for at least 2 or 3 episodes.
I can see them surviving longer than I said only as long as they end up in the same location very soon into the season because otherwise I sincerely doubt we´re gonna have like 5 different episodes. Maybe I´m being pessimistic, though.
and was like 15 different episodes or 20 since there's alone, jane , kenny, wellington
I believe that they could merge the stories, maybe Howe's and Wellington falls or something like that and no matter what Clementine will end up with a new group of survivors along with her old friends making a return possibly I hope ;3
All we can hope is telltale tries to make choices matter and Kenny and Jane won't be killed right off the bat. If telltale was smart season 3 would be the last season and the most shaped based on last seasons choices
That would be very stupid and predictable yet again from Telltale. Why would they even give us a choice to save someone just to kill them an episode later? I hate shit like that. It's all false advertisement that your choice matter when in the end it's all the same no matter what.
I personally don't think it should stop at just 3 Seasons, that's very short lived for a game based on a post-apocalyptic world, especially that specific world being The Walking Dead and the game series is nowhere near the Comics in terms of time.
After season 2 I'm expecting nothing BUT stupid and predictable.
We'll I ment if season 3 follows Clem I think they should end her story after season 3
I think I'd still like to play as Clementine in future games but I have to admit a few Seasons where I'm not just playing as Clementine but maybe as other characters would be pretty nice
I can't agree here. Clementine is the soul of this game and if they end her story with S03 it will be a big loss on their and our part. I think she has a lot more character to show and is perfect to be a protagonist in the new games. She was a weakling back in S01 and just a small child while now going strong in S03 being tough and knowing how to survive I think we can see a lot more on her part. Her character is probably the most unique one and as a person who is not a fan of children I gotta say I adore Clementine and can't wait to play as her again.
EXACTLY...
"the story is tailored how you play"
well played telltale... well fucken played..
Why does Janes status get to be alive while kennys is dead/unknown? :P slightly biased imo
It started with Clementine so it should end with Clementine, which is why you're right
To be honest: Fuck everyone's choices. your choices don't really matter. It will all be the same in the end, no matter what choice you make. It's YOU following a story where you make minor choices, and those choices matter for A WHILE. and then they don't anymore. So in a way... they never lied. Your choices just can't matter for a whole season. (i'm still talking on topic about the variables in S02E05. I'm not talking about general choices, just the choices you made at the end of S02E05)
So in short:
No matter where you go, you'll all end up at one location after 1 episode or maybe within one episode.
I'm betting on a timeskip.
You really should choose the Kenny ending unless you have seen how it ends. It's much better than Jane's
TellTale has stated that Season 2. ending WILL matter for Season 3.
Also, Clementine WILL end up alone will AJ most likely, as Season 2 endings showed no signs of a large group, except for possibly Wellington. The family is too small of a group for Clementine to be around with.
I think the opening to Season 3 will involve whatever choice you made at the end of Season 2 but maybe for the first 5 or 10 minutes before a time skip or Clem will end up somewhere else (alone with AJ like you said) and the story will begin from there.
