What was the point of the DLC Characters in S2

IMO they should of just wrote the whole DLC about Bonnie, at least then it would make some sense.

  • I definitely think that they had a bigger plan for the 400 Days characters, but something happened and major parts of the story were changed and the 400 Days characters roles were, as a result, lessened.

    Or:

  • I feel like they did plan on having them have a bigger part, but in the end story changes were made and they just didn't fit.

  • Did you at least have fun when you played it (first time around)?

  • Pointless Exposition

  • That line reminded me of the Nostalgia Critic when he reviewed The Last Airbender.

  • I think there could have been a plan or something but it got thrown out soooo

    POINTLESS

    There was no point. They may have had a purpose at one point, but considering that their appearances excluding Bonnie is determinant, they were probably just in there for DLC only, even though apparently they were supposed to have a bigger role? Or so Telltale claimed...? idk.

  • Well something happened considering Eddie is right on ep 4's title card

  • They probably had a bigger purpose but it was cut

  • Extra content because people asked for it?

    203 was very weak imo

    I didn't like Season 2 in general, only 204 and 205 I found to be pretty good in hindsight.

    But 203 was my least favourite Episode of a mediocre Season, simply because of it's wasted potential. For example, in the first Episode, Carver was built up as an uber villain who shoots people for the hell of it. I really didn't like that picture, and so I was glad that in 202, Carver was pretty intense and not so 'predictable evil'.

    Then 203 came around.

    A guy cuts some branches wrong --> Die, you worthless piece of shit!

    Young girl talks to a friend --> Hit your daughter, Carlos, and hard, or Troy will do it with his AK47!

    Alvin is back --> Let's beat him to death!

    Guy steals Walkie Talkie --> Rape his face with it!

    It is a complete 180, which sadly happened constantly in all of Season 2.

    Also, it was fairly obvious that Telltale cut the DLC characters, at least for me. I would say they had a more important role at first, but then Telltale had the idea with the Russians, and they replaced Eddie's (?) group (since he is in the 204 slide).

    I was just disappointed by that Episode, also the way Telltale handled deaths. Did we really need Carver, Troy, Carlos and determinant Alvin in one Episode? Seems too much to me.

  • Am i the only person that wonders what the original story was?

    They probably had a bigger purpose but it was cut

  • Well of course, however it should still build a story, that is what story driven games do, is they build and build the story, higher, and higher until it either topples over, or becomes a skyscraper.
