Top 5 characters (exluding Lee and Clementine)?

I'm interested in knowing what other characters stood out to you. Not necessarily the "best" or most capable or even the good guys. Who did you relate to? Who did you want to see more of? Who had an interesting premise or potential?

My list:

Doug

Shel

Stephanie

Bonnie

Nick

Season 1 and 2 and 400 Days answers welcome. If you list characters from the Michonne game, please refrain from going into detail since I haven't played it yet! :-) Thank you!

Bonus: pick any character and fill in the blanks using observation and your imagination.

    My General Favorites:

    1. Omid: in the world of the zombie apocalypse, you really do need some comic relief (I guess Carver was right, you do need guys like that to keep things light). But I also liked Omid for a lot of other reasons, he was immediately loyal, was always concerned for Lee, Clem, and Christa, and even showed concern for Ben if he was dropped at Crawford and Chuck when he's attacked by zombies. I think telltale did a great job with building a character that has his funny moments but also has some complexity and can be serious when he needed to be. Even if I hated his death, I did think it was handled very well. He didn't go out on some wacky mistake like getting caught in a fence (I'm never going to let that go) he died trying to protect Clementine, and that I think was the most important moment of his character.
    2. Christa: I always had respect for her since the moment she met Lee. Some people thought she was bitchy but I really did appreciate her frank advice, I knew right away that she wasn't lying about who she was. I also liked that she took immediately to Clementine, and even after the Omid incident, I'd still be hard-pressed to find someone better to take care of her for so long. She's the biggest reason I wanted to keep hope of Wellington alive.
    3. Pete (Season 2): besides Christa, I thought Pete was the best guardian figure in Clementine's life. He saved her life, trusted her, defended her, and most importantly, kept her from smoking. I wish he stayed longer, or at least have his death contribute to Nick's development more, but unfortunately a fence got in the way of that.
    4. Luke: even though his character was butchered as the episodes went on, I thought he was one of the highlights of season 2, especially in the first two episodes he was in. Something about his big brother vibe made me like him.
    5. Pete (Michonne): I would like to say Michonne is my favorite character, since she was, and she's my favorite character in the show. However, I feel like that's sort of cheating since Michonne is more from the comic books and not an original telltale character. I know Pete isn't 100% an original character either, but they had more room to characterize him and I loved the dynamic he brought to the game.

    Most Potential:
    Tie between Nick and Sarah. I don't think I have to go into why.

    Most Relateable:
    Tie between Molly and Shel. I'm an older sister and I relate very deeply to the older sister characters that just want to protect their little sisters (probably a big reason I can't relate to Jane). I would like to think I would be Molly in this situation, becoming completely selfless and make sacrifices for her well-being and then become a badass loner climbing buildings. In reality I would probably be more like Shel, trying desperately to shelter my sister from the horrors of the world. Also stealing an RV would be about as close to badass as I could ever be.

    1. Lilly, she was interesting and a pretty direct leader, I wish we could get to know her even better
    2. Omid, he was really funny and I feel as if I'd get along with him well in real life, also he saved Clementine
    3. Nick, bruh I felt him
    4. Luke, although I didn't like his "we could leave Kenny behind tho" plan at Howe's, I liked to think of him as Clementine's brother role and that, he was flawed more or less but it is all good
    5. Kenny, I don't like his "my way or highway" but I was surprised how much he had loved Clementine, I mean, that Wellington ending made me cry
    1. Doug
    2. Carley
    3. Ben
    4. Lilly
    5. Chuck

    Lilly

    My favourite character out off all twd franchise :)

    I think she is the best written character, we have met so far.
    She knows how to be a leader of a group, tought everyone how to handle a gun, made sure everyone got a fair-share of the food ration.
    She might seem like a mean person, when we meet her the first scene in the drug-store.
    But she soon proves she actually has a heart of gold atleast in my opinion :)

    Also i think the scene, when she shoots the bandits from atop off the motor-inn was the most badass scene, out off the games.

    Ben Paul

    I think Ben, is another character that is written really well.
    He only wants to do what is best for others and help the group, but it always ends up in a mess.
    But he always wants to make up for his mistakes, which shows he is a good person in my opinion.
    And he was the only one who helped my Lee, look for Clementine when she was kidnapped by the Stranger.

    And his death scene, in the alley was the saddest scene out off both games.
    I think, if Ben would have survived season 1, he could have become a real different person, then he was before.
    Which would have made in my opinion, for a really interesting story-arch for his character :)

    Samantha

    I'll try to not spoil, the events in Michonne to much since you didn't play this game yet.
    But it might contain a few spoilers, but i didn't describe the event's in much detail.

    I think Samantha, is a character with one of the best written story-arch.

    When we first meet Samantha, she might come across abit selfish.
    But that soon changes, in my opinion when she shows she is willing to save other characters at a huge-risk (storage-room.).
    Also in my opinion she had a good reason for stealing from Monroe, and we see she really cares for her family and even Michonne(burning-house).
    The last scene in the burning house, made her a hero in my book :)

    And most of you probably know, i made a topic that i thought Samantha would be the protagonist in S3.
    But i was really under the impression, that telltale would go with that.
    Since i thought we where kinda forming her character, with the choices we made as Michonne.
    And im still abit pissed off telltale made her character determinant, since i think this would have been a great way.
    To introduce the new protagonist for S3, and it would have been cool to play with a character, we could form with the choices we made as Michonne.

    Also in my opinion the scene when she knocks-out Norma, was one off the most badass scene's in the games :)

    Nick

    I didn´t feel attached to most characters of S2, because they all lacked a back-story.
    But i think Nick was a really well written character, i actually understood his motives and why he was acting the way he did.
    A thing i didn´t with most other characters from S2.
    And in my opinion telltale really threw his character under the bus, after episode 2 first he was one off the characters with the most character development and screen-time.
    2 Episodes later, he is stuck in a fence =/ which really pissed me off while playing S2.

    I actually wanted a Nick vs Kenny choice, because i could actually see these two get into a fight with eachother.

    Katjaa

    Even the fact is i hate Kenny, Katjaa is actually one of my favourite characters.
    Because even if she was married to Kenny, she never took his side when he started a ridiculous arguement with someone else.
    Or when he was starting trouble again, i think Katjaa is a very good natured person and always had the best of the whole group in mind.
    Unlike Kenny who only thought about himself and his family.

    When i gave Duck food, or protected him from Larry in the drug-store and offered to shoot him when he was bitten.
    I didn't do that for Kenny, i did those things for Katjaa :)

    1- Omid ( Always with good humour and a bad joke, I was so sad when he died ;-;)

    2- Luke ( Nice guy )

    3- Kenny ( Loyal and strong, unfortunatedly I didn't want to let him kill Jane so, RIP)

    4- Pete ( Cool guy, wise enough not to want to lock a little girl in a shed... )

    5- Jane ( She is nice, she knew about the cover with the smell thing, and cared a lot about Clem)

  • I don't know about the logic right there. I like Kenny more,but I killed him of anyhow.. Whaat ??!?

  • Well, I do like Kenny more, he is mostly nice and very loyal, but, Kenny gets pissed way too eazy, and that would risk someone else dying in the future, and also, when I was playing I had gotten no information about if AJ was actually alive or not, so I'd not just let him kill Jane after she had putted her weapon away ( that is coward ).

  • Not sure who my most top 5 are, so I'll split it by season.

    S1: Eddie (great gay), Omid (funny), Lilly (understandable), Ben (relatable), the survivor of the Carley/Doug choice

    S2: Arvo (understandable), Luke (okay-ish?), Sarah (relatable), Nick (understandable), Walter (sweet gay)

    Mini: Paige (great gay), Sam (relatable?), Norma (reasonable?), Siddiq (hot), Colette (adorable)

    Honorable mention: Christa, who was considered for both of the first two lists.

    1. Kenny (My bro, right-hand man and loyal friend, he's also my favorite character of the franchise. He'd do anything for his loved ones and he's always been there for me. I relate a lot to him, we have many things in common, and I deeply love him.)
    2. Carley (Mother figure to Clem, Lee's love interest, empathic, self sufficient, it's a shame she left us so soon.)
    3. Luke (I liked him a lot, he was definitely a big brother figure to Clem and he was loyal too. My only issue with him is his rivalry with Kenny, though they both ended on good terms.)
    4. Molly (It think she had a huge potential we never got to see. I'd love to see more of her at some point.)
    5. Nick (Same as Molly, I really think he had a huge potential we never got to see. He seemed a really interesting character to me.)

    Some honorable mentions:

    Omid

    Pete

    Walter

    Wait, do you like the dog more than Doug and Omid?!

    1. Luke
    2. Kenny
    3. Jane (the final choice was tough for me)
    4. Omid
    5. Carver
    1. Kenny. Liked him from the start. I think I just connected with him because he was down to earth and cared for his family. Being friends with him was great. His a strong man, opinionated yes but so am I so that's what I liked about him a lot.
    2. Ben. Very underrated. Was clumsy but unaware at the time. Was easy to be manupalted but showed that he was capable of maturing and becoming a stronger person. I can't say he was under used because he was in almost every episode of season one, but had he survived and made it to season two, he could've been pretty good.
    3. Chuck. This is more of a sympathetic one. At the first play through, I didn't really care for him, but when I played a few more times, chuck grew on me. His a intelligent, honest man who is caring and loyal. I've said before had certain characters not came in, chuck could've been used more. I felt he had more potential then what they gave him.
    4. Troy. Troy was a natural villain who could get under the skin of most players. Even though he was a supporting role to carver, he still was very well done. I feel he could've been a bigger antagonist had they not screwed up carver and his gang.
    5. Doug. The fact that carley is more important to pick then Doug is stupid. Doug should've had a better role. It would've made sense had carley not been killed so early but the fact that she was killed off early, only means that Doug should've been giving a better role.
  • Sam could've been something different. A companion for clementine. But they chose to put him in just to upset the animal lovers which was wrong.
