What I believe Season 3 will start as

I believe that at the start of season 3 Clem will still have Aj and be with Jane/Kenny.Heres what I think will happen for each scenario

Jane/Clem with no family:Jane dies
Jane/Clem with family:Family kills Jane but kicks Clem out
Clem alone:Enough said
Clem leaves for Wellington:They send her to go scouting and she gets stuck in the wilderness
Clem and Kenny in wilderness:Kenny dies

Basically, I think Clem will end up alone and will possibly head back south and find Christa or a new group. I Typed this fast so if the grammar is bad that's why

Comments

  • Why does everyone assume Kenny and Jane will just die, It feels a little more than obvious that Season 3 is taking a long time because they want to have major outcomes for our endings.

  • It would be so ridiculous for Kenny/Jane to die that early.

    What if we got the along ending?

    I'm kinda worried about Kenny lol him and Jane's status as determinant characters kinda dooms them in season 3 and Kenny's my favorite character :(

    There's always the hope that Telltale might keep them alive the whole season to break that trend, but realistically that's probably not gonna happen

    I guess all I can hope for is if they kill off Kenny, that it's really emotional...don't just have him get eaten in a herd of walkers...rip my heart out like the season 2 ending

    Maybe have him get bit like Lee and have him talk to Clem about it and have an emotional goodbye before killing himself (or, knowing Telltale, asking Clem to do it)

  • Jane and Kenny are doomed as there is an option to have neither. So unless they give a third option them surviving that long is unlikely. Plus the walking dead always appears to put choice on the bottom of the pile

  • I'd like them to last at least through one episode if they do end up dying.

    I've given a lot of thought to how Season Three could start, and, based on the comments that Season Three will be larger than ever, I'm hoping we get a radically different Episode One experience based on which ending we chose in Season Two. Yes, I've boarded the hype train, and I'm hoping Season Three's train doesn't join Season Two's hype train in a mangled heap at the bottom of Shitty Writing Gorge. Fingers crossed.

    So I'm hoping we get to spend the better part of Episode One seeing how our endings play out and tying up various loose ends. I believe the different endings will come together near the end of the episode, and it is also my belief that those endings will point us towards Wellington, which looks to offer us something completely different from anything we've experienced in the first two seasons. So far in the series we've only seen small groups and failed settlements run by tyrants like Carver and Crawford. We've yet to see a truly successful community like Wellington has been hyped up to be. If handled right, Wellington could offer players a truly unique and memorable setting - which is why I believe that, by the end of Episode One, all roads will lead to Wellington.

    So, with those assumptions in mind, I've written down the ways I could see the various endings playing out in the first episode of Season Three:

    Alone Ending:

    Clementine looks awfully determined in this ending - almost as if she's got a specific destination in mind and she's not going to let anything stop her from reaching it. Given the transition from frozen wastelands and blizzards to semi-green fields and gentle rainshowers, it's pretty obvious she's heading south. And who else advocated going south? Mike - the same man who attempted to take everything the group owned, put a gun in Arvo's hands, and who's actions set the chains in motion that lead to the death of Kenny and/or Jane.

    My theory is this: Clementine in the alone ending has been tracking Mike (and Bonnie, if she's still with him) south. I'm aware of the many problems with this theory, such as how an eleven-year-old could track two adults who've had a significant head start, but maybe Clem just got lucky (real lucky). Maybe she's been following a trail of empty rum bottles and half-eaten racoon carcasses. Joking aside, it's a plot hole I'm willing to ignore if even a half-hearted attempt is made at covering it up. At this point in the series, I've ignored worse ones.

    We do know Telltale has plans for Mike - they wouldn't have removed the option to kill him from the PS3 version otherwise. And whether she's been tracking him because she wants to try and join up with potentially the last living (or at least the last sane living) member of her old group, or she wants revenge on the person who got her shot and lead to the aforementioned death of Kenny and/or Jane - Clementine's certainly got her reasons for tracking Mike down.

    Ideally, after finally reuniting with Mike, Clementine would have the option of asking to join up with him (and potentially Bonnie), demanding an apology for his actions, or simply shooting him and being done with it.

    As for how she gets to Wellington afterwards - maybe Mike encountered somebody who actually does have the means and knowledge to get to Wellington and convinces them to take Clementine with them. Or, if you choose to kill Mike (and Bonnie), they hear the gunshots, see Clementine and the bodies, assume she was the sole survivor of a bandit attack, and take her with them out of pity.

    This theory obviously assumes that Arvo is no longer with Mike (and Bonnie). I honestly can't see Mike tolerating having him around after he attempted to gun down a child, and so I would imagine both parties quickly went their separate ways. I'm also assuming that - if Arvo does make an appearance in Season Three - Telltale's got bigger plans for his character than just gunning him down in what amounts to an extended prologue.

    Jane Ending:

    When deciding whether or not to shelter the family in Jane's ending, Jane's statement about not having much food left contrasts with the massive amount of food seen at Howe's in Episode Three. Because of this, I believe that while they sustained significant casualties during their defence of Howe's, most of Carver's people managed to escape the slaughter with whatever food and supplies they could take with them. And if Carver's people are still out there, I can't imagine why they wouldn't plan on retaking their base after licking their wounds and waiting for the horde to move on. My theory is that attempting to rebuff this attack will be the major event of Jane's ending.

    Choosing whether or not to let Randy's family into Howe's would likely play a part in the how the attempt to retake Howe's would play out. If Randy had been let into Howe's, the extra hands would obviously improve Clementine and Jane's chances of defending the base. Even with the extra hands, however, it would likely be impossible for three adults and two children to hold off a large group indefinitly. After a drawn-out battle, Clementine and whoever else survived would likely be forced to flee.

    Had Randy and his family been forced away at gunpoint, however, he may end up becoming part of the band attacking Howe's. Given how desperate his family was for food and shelter, it's not entirely unlikely that Randy's wife and kid perished soon after they were turned away. If that turned out to be the case, and if Randy stumbled upon the remnants of Carver's group soon afterward, then it strikes me as being entirely possible that he would have joined up with them under the philosophy of "The enemy of my enemy is my friend". Given that only Clem and Jane would be defending Howe's, the resulting battle with this group would be even shorter, and would likely include an encounter with a severely pissed-off Randy, who would be hell-bent on seeking revenge against the people he blamed for his family's death.

    No matter who's side Randy was on, after the battle was over, Clementine and the surviving members of her group would have lost Howe's, and, having nowhere else to go, would probably end up heading for Wellington.

    Kenny Ending:

    If you entered Wellington with AJ, then Season Three proper can begin right then and there. That would kind of suck for everybody who had chosen the Wellington ending, however, seeing as how the other endings offered players an episode's worth of gameplay before Season Three's real plot kicked off. Most players who chose this ending did so because they wanted to see Clementine in a safe place where she's have the chance to live a normal life. But with everything she's seen and done, is Clem even capable of living a normal life anymore? Would she still be able to identify with children her own age? If there's a school at Wellington, how would she react to being stuck in a desk for hours each day learning things that aren't directly related to her survival - especially given the fact that she'd essentially be playing catch-up after missing two years of school already? Would she be happy knowing she was safe and had the chance to be a kid again, or would she feel alienated and miserable in a world she felt - with her experiences - she no longer belonged in? This would hardly be action packed, but if handled right, it would certainly be interesting to play as Clementine in these circumstances.

    Anyway, those are my theories on how Season Three could start. I apologize for both the wall of text, and that fact that I actually had enough time on my hands to write it.

  • WOW! amazing!

  • The family, I think it is bad. Randy looks bad, how he pushed his wife away (if it's his wife) little boy (about Clementine's age) not bad of course, he probably will try to connect to Clementine "Your hat cool" so that when a child is around your age. The woman seems to have some "mental problems", how she hugged Jane. Randy seemed sinister. I hope he does not hurt Clementine.

  • If Clementine will be alone (with AJ) She must encounter Mike, Bonnie. I think Mike would be upset about Arvo after shot a little girl (Clementine) ... If Clementine with Kenny, they probably will run into them as well, but this will create problems ... that Kenny nervous about. Clementine alone Wellington: be lonely, but there will be a lot of people to take pity on her and try to create her friendships.

  • Why does everyone assume Kenny and Jane will just die,

    Is this a serious question? Well from past games, the life expectancy of a determinant character is maybe one episode. Omid got ended in the first ten seconds.

  • Omid wasn't determinant, was he?
