Opinions On Season 3

A-Smitty · July 2016

I changed the original thread because I just wanted to hear a quick opinion.

Anyway, what do you think about season 3, How will the episode begin depending on last season choices?

A-Smitty · July 2016

I changed the discussion, I just wanted to see an opinion or two, thanks.

Chusets · July 2016

I believe it will start some time ahead with Clem in the same place for everybody (of course) and the difference of our endind choices back in Season Two will be played by us in the form of flashbacks, I am just guessing anyway.

A-Smitty · July 2016

Lol at least i remember

A-Smitty · July 2016

Same the choices youve made will have importance but won't necessarily change the story

Chusets · July 2016

Exactly.

(I went with Kenny)
I think it will start off in wellington, 2-3 years after the story of S2.
Clem has a friend from Wellington (the guy in the trailer).
A horde of walkers will attack the gates and break trough, Kenny, Clem, the guy from the trailer and AJ will flee while everyone fights the walkers.
Kenny will risk his life for Clem and the baby but Kenny and AJ will die.
Clem and the boy will flee and they will try to survive on their own.
That's what I think will happen.

5-6 years? XD it's gonna be only 2-3 years after season 2.

Dont_Look_Back · July 2016

Omid and Chris- ahem, oops, I meant Jane and Kenny are proabably gonna get killed off in the first 5 minutes of episode 1.

AppleCider · July 2016

As for Kenny/Jane, I hope they are given a treatment similar to Urdnot Wrex, per my description in this thread from forever ago: https://www.telltalegames.com/community/discussion/83377/determinate-characters-urdnot-wrex

As for how it will open, the basic outline that I expect to see is that we'll probably have 3 main opening scenes with slight variations that will probably last about 5-10 min before everything is written into a common plot point.

Here's an EXAMPLE of what I mean by that, written by me forever ago just to explain to somebody here on the forums that they don't need fifty bigzillion openings that branch into the stars for season 3 to exist. I in no way think this is how it will open, but it's an example of a 3 pronged approach.

I don't know, however here's how I'd probably write it:

With Jane and Family: Opens with Jane and Clem working on getting Howe's all set for long term survival. Things are looking up and both seem to be reasonably optimistic, except Jane's not sure the food stores will last long enough for everybody to make it till the next set of crops can be harvested. Jane mentions that at least they managed to find a lot of formula for AJ. Walkers attack through a location that the players saw earlier and took note that it was secure. Clem uses all of her bullets trying to fend off the walkers but they are forced to retreat to another location of Howe's, where the family is. Jane has an idea to make a lot of noise outside of Howe's to get the walkers out long enough to patch up the wall. The Dad repeatedly suggests that the place cannot be saved, and eventually cracks and admits to sabotaging the wall. He forces Jane and Clem to leave with AJ at gunpoint, but gives them some food and formula to take with them. As Jane and Clem are leaving with Howe's in the distance, you hear the noise that falls in line with Jane's suggestion for distracting the walkers. Jane reminds Clem that Jane isn't going to leave Clem as they are leaving, and that they will be fine. "It was probably stupid to try and hunker down anyway. It's best not to get too attached to any one location. At least they gave us the formula."

Jane and Clem run into a couple of guys driving a vehicle. These guys seem shady right off the bat. After a brief conversation one of the guys suggests that Clem and Jane "come along with them" eyeballing both Jane, Clem, and the supply bag. Regardless of what Clem says, Jane refuses, and tells Clem that these two give her a bad feeling. The two guys get out of the truck and say that they'd rather the two come along willingly and pulls a bat out of the car. "Ya'll are mighty pretty. Would hate to damage those pretty faces of yours. Just come along and you'll be fine." One guy tells the other to grab "the rope" out of the back of the trunk. Jane tells Clem to run as the two men attack Jane. Clem does run. A short way away Clem has the option to hide AJ and go back for Jane, or to keep running. If you go back you see the car speed off, but there's no sign of Jane.

Clem heads north and ends up in Wellington.

With Jane and no family. ^Same as above except that running into the family after the walker attack is a surprise. The dad makes it clear that Clem and Jane left him no choice and forces them to leave at gunpoint.

With Kenny, the opening scene has Kenny teaching Clem how to hunt, how to setup traps, and other such things. Kenny seems confident that they'll make it so long as they stick together. You get good scenes of exchanges between Kenny and Clem that make the player feel good about going with Kenny. Kenny and Clem get approached by the same two guys as in the Jane openings at some point. They ask if Clem and Kenny are from Wellington. Kenny says that they aren't, but one of the two says "Bullshit. Look at what they've got. They're setting up hunting traps for fuck sake. They've gotta be from Wellington" The two men attack. Kenny tells Clem to run. Clem runs away, has the option to go back for Kenny; you hear the car driving away and there's no sign of Kenny. Clem heads back to Wellington and they let her and AJ in.

^If you're in Wellington you're out with somebody who is teaching clem how to set traps and who plays the exact same role as Kenny in the ending above. The key difference is that when asked if they are from wellington the person Clem is with says that they are, and asks if those two are from (name of a group that the player hasn't been introduced to yet). The two say that they are and then attack. Person Clem is with tells Clem to run. Clem runs back to Wellington.

If you're alone you open with Clem raiding a minimart and finding formula and a stockpile of food that "should last us a while" (Clem's words). This opening has almost no dialogue and should rely on Clem's emotional state (determined, frustrated, lonely) to draw the player in. It has Clem feeding AJ and setting up a makeshift barricade that she supposes will be good for at least the night. She heads north and ends up in Wellington.

^^Take note that you've only really got 3 openings here with slight variations to save on production. Each opening establishes a lot of what is going on in a brief amount of time and in all three Clem ends up in Wellington without Kenny or Jane, though the fate of whoever was with Clem is "alive but off screen." The run time for each opening should be between five and ten min taking up a small portion of the first episode. The rest of the episode can kick off from here.

Marko69Culina · July 2016

yeah I kinda messed up there. Clem looks 15-16 in the trailer :P

PLEASED · July 2016

She look 13-14 to me.

Marko69Culina · July 2016

IDK how old was she in Season 2

But she looks 14-15 in Season 3 to me.

WalkingDeadFan1911 · July 2016

if the opening of the episode's lag, you know the previously sequences, i'd be mad.

like TWDM was super laggy as well, hoping they fix that.

idk how it will open up, i'm guessing maybe a backstory or prologue of what has happened since S2.

i think it will be good, though.

PLEASED · July 2016

In S1: 8-9

In S2: 10-11

In S3: 13-14

Marko69Culina · July 2016

Oh thanks well I'm gonna edit it.

BetterToSleep · July 2016

Exactly! Job Stauffer clarified that Clementine would be 13–14.

IronWoodLover · July 2016

From what I've headcanonned (lol that word probably doesn't exist! (it does now!)), I think we'll spend the first 20-30 minutes of the episode as Javier. He eventually bumps into Clem and Kenny/Clem and Edith/Clem and Jane/Clem and Patricia/Clem and AJ.

TheAutisticGamer · July 2016

Why is everyone asking about opinions about Season 3 when it hasn't even come out yet?

Auruo · July 2016

I'm PRAYING that there aren't that many references to the comics. Please. I want the games to be separate from the comics and the show.

I also feel like I'm not going to like Javy but lmao.

PLEASED · July 2016

She's 13+ maybe 13.5

J-Master · July 2016

I'm hoping S3 has very little in common with S2 and acts like S2 just never happened in it's beginning episode but that's probably not going to happen.

Suzy222 · July 2016

I'm very excited for it. I have a feeling it will be better than season 2.

I just really hope they include some more opportunities for us to walk around and explore. Season 2 didn't have very much of those in comparison to the first season. I love having optional conversations as it really helps with character development.

Comintern1919 · July 2016

Why is that so? The Game is luckily not based on the TV Show anyway, but on the Comics, and those are great. If you haven't read them yet, but enjoy the TWD Games, you should read them. So why no references? If you get them, great, if you don't get them, also great. As long as the references don't distract from the game itself, I don't see a problem. Don't you want references at all, or just not too many?

Either way, the Game is not separate from the Comics anyway, as much as you want to wish or pray for it. Nothing can happen in the Game, that can't happen in the Comics, like finding a cure or something like that.

Comintern1919 · July 2016

Yeah, seeing as choices from Season 2 carry over, it is not going to happen.
