Unknown status characters in Season 3
This may have been discussed before but I was wondering what characters that have Unknown statuses would you like to see in season 3???
It's probably unlikely that they would be in season 3 because I think there will be a lot of new characters introduced and telltale probably won't even think about bringing back older characters
HOWEVER... I'm still wondering what Unknown characters you would want to see in season 3 or possibly in another season/dlc?
For example,
LILLY is good character who I'd like to see return in season 3, because it would be interesting to hear how she survived after being kicked out of the group and how she would react to seeing Clementine/ meeting Javier (although I don't think telltale would ever bring Lily back again, unfortunately)
Also, several of the 400 days characters who have unknown statuses like NATE and EDDIE would be great additions to the new seasons, again to hear their stories and also to develop their characters. They were given such a short time in the game to show their full potential and Nate's character would make a great contrast to other characters in the game. Most people disliked him but I think his character reflects the 'dark side' of being in the apocalypse and what it can do to a person.
So What other characters with Unknown statuses would you want to see in season 3???
Comments
I understand that returning characters are unrealistic and in a way could take away from how special Kenny's return was, but I still really want Lily to return. Christa, 400 days characters, Molly, Vernan, Bonnie, Mike, Arvo, ect would all be nice, but I really want Lily.
Her exit from Season 1 opens up many opportunities. How would Clementine react to seeing her again after what she did? How has the world affected Lily since then? Does her action still weigh heavily on her conscience? How would Lily and Jane interact? Would Lily and Kenny still be a train wreck? I just really loved Lily and would love to see her again.
Lilly, Christa, and Molly
I hope and pray as much as I can for Lilly to return. A shell of a woman, a burnt-out desolate woman, a woman haunted by the demons of her past, a woman who since disappeared into the unknown. And it was here, in this blighted place, that a teenager whom Lilly knew as a little girl, would help her learn to live again. (I was paraphrasing the opening monologue of The Road Warrior or Mad Max 2). And I'm kinda wishing Lilly will be something like that. With giving the player (Clementine) the option to said "help her learn to live again" in other words regain her faith and hope and rekindle a friendship. (Hey I can hope can't I?)
And please, WHERE IS CHRISTA? It's killing me. Please let her still be alive. I know it's called the Walking Dead...but since last season...HAVEN'T WE LOST ENOUGH?!
Molly to return will be a nice surprise if taken into consideration. Also the 400 Days crew.
Bonnie and Mike. Hey, I like them. I just hope they've come to regret the decision of abandoning Clem.
The Fairbanks clan meeting with Clementine. And whoever was with Clem at the end of last season based on player choices.
A lot to ask for, but as only as some of it makes it in somehow and played out right, I will be happy and satisfied.
Nate, Lilly and maybe, Molly. Though I wouldn't mind seeing Bonnie, Mike and Arvo again, so long as payback could be an option.
I would love to see Lilly and Bonnie again and have their relationships with Clementine be determined by the choices she and Lee made. Like if Lee sided against Lilly most of the time and/or left her on the roadside, she will cold to Clem. If Lee supported her most of the time and/or let her stay with the group, she will be happy to see Clem. If you saved Bonnie, she will appear in Season 3 and will be your friend if you went to Luke or your enemy/won't help you if you covered him.
I would like to see Nate also, but I think the best time to include him in the greater game came and went. We don't really need Molly to come back. She served her purpose and there were no loose ends like with other characters. While not one of my favourite characters, Christa would be the most likely candidate to resurface. I would like to know what happened to her, assuming she is alive.
Vernon is probably dead, and I don't care about Mike or Arvo.
Nate, Molly and Christa.
But I'm almost 100% sure that Telltale don't give a shit.
Lily because her exit left a bunch of doors open.
Danielle and Adam because drama...
Becca and Taavia have potential to be characters with neat continuity nods
"Sarah" because drama....
Mike and Arvo for untapped character potential and an enemy's unexpected return storyline. Bonnie can show up with them or not.
Is that an official thing?
Honestly, I think that would be a BIG mistake. Season 2 was supposed to be about Clementine learning about how to survive as a unit firsthand. And while there were certainly some character issues and questionable decisions, sweeping it under the rug is the wrong thing to do because that would be ignoring the point of it all just to tell a determinately "better" story that could benefit from that part of history.
Any mistake in one story is an opportunity to tell another that may retroactively improve the old mistake by making it relevant to a new bigger story.
Well, considering how their story "ended" in the official product, it shouldn't be too hard.
And honestly, the popularity of Arvo comes down to a single scene anyway.
Look: I don't know if anyone will agree, but I'd rather we stay off improbable meetings this season. I loved seeing Kenny again in S2, but it would be ridiculous if we got to see a S1 character every damn season. Also, I'm pretty sure there's gonna be a S4 unless this season bankrupts Telltale. We can have Lilly/Molly/Vernon ([Shoot Vernon]) then...
I know I occasionally stick up for Arvo, but this is just confusing:
Why would Clementine shoot Vernon?
Because I killed Kenny in my main game because of the situation and I feel guilty about it. I believe the best way to honor his legacy is to kill the man who took his boat.
Wow....just...Wow.
Hahahahaha I agree. Hell I didn't even kill Kenny and i'm definitely gonna kill Vernon if we run into him. In honour of Ben as well, who he locked up in a shed in my game, which meant that he would have most likely died if the group hadn't come back to rescue him.
I also agree that it will be a little too much if we run into too many characters from the past again. I don't mind them being in seperate games really but just don't let them meet Clementine again.
What situation?
Thanks for the comments and ideas, guys :-)
I like Molly but I think she's better by being alone, like she said so I doubt we'll see her again.
Lilly? Possible, I'll be overjoyed to see her again if she comes back but I prefer for them to develop new character.
Christa is only the biggest contender, what always bugged in season 2 is that you can speak about her multiple times without any resolution in the end. But again, I want them to focus on new characters.
I thought Molly had a good place in the story, but I did find her to be overrated.
And fucking YES, Jane is totally a Molly clone.
I honestly didn't care one way or the other. Molly was just a Hero of Another Story Guest Party Member for the Crawford section of Season 1, so she was in and out of the spotlight as that arc resolved itself. She was a one-shot character who had their story arc, helped the main characters out a bit, got her closure, and then went off to have adventures and kill geeks somewhere else. So I honestly think she is the one character who doesn't need to come back at all.
Jane is actually a good example of my views on reused character concepts: if you as a writer have a character or concept you thought was good enough or had enough potential for an interesting story, go ahead and reuse it as long as the new product is capable of either standing up on its own or at least does something differently than what the previous example did. She stuck around for the rest of the story and developed into a character in her own right, with her own thoughts, motivations, biased opinions, and interactions towards the other characters. If you dress her down to her barest essentials, then she just seems like a suspiciously similar substitute of Molly, but that's only really relevant to those junkies who were so hyped up on Season 1 that they instantly got mad whenever anything that they see as even vaguely disrespecting it, whether it be Omid's death or Rebecca's introduction.
Molly had very minute impact on the story of Season 1, to the point that she can presumably die after Ben moves the hatchet without too much of a trump; whereas Jane was presented as a shady figure that quickly becomes a major player in delivering some of Season 2's themes and tone. Looking at her for what she is, Jane is far more complex and worthy of emotional investment than Molly was because she had a bigger impact on the story and had relationships with the other characters that actually meant something in the long run.
Is there any chance of lee returning in season 3 of the game ? It'd be amazing to see lee an clem reunite strong text
It would be funny if Adam returns and Clem sees him looking like a young version of the Stranger and gets PTSD
I'm sorry to say this but Lee is dead. But hey you might see him as a walker in S3 if you chose not to shoot him.
I personally feel that having too many characters return would put too much of a 'small universe' feeling on the game. Hershel's family and Glenn being in season 1 was ok because they were all still around the Atlanta area. Running into Kenny in season 2 (though far fetched) was acceptable due to them traveling to the same location (Wellington).
However now season 3 will take place two years after the events of season 2 and will take place in an entirely different state than much of season 2 took place. Believe they will be in Virginia for most of season 3 and coincidentally running into Lilly when the last time you saw her was four years earlier in Georgia would be a little too much.
Nobody. If S3 is supposed to be a stepping in point for new fans I don't think they would bring back characters like Lilly and Arvo, characters who are hated by a huge amount of the fanbase. Also, would Clem even remember characters like Molly and Vernon seeing that in the grand scheme of things they only knew each other for about 2 days of the 2+ year apocalypse.
Although for a dlc, I wouldn't mind a standalone story showing us what happened to Lilly.
Yeah I think a better plan for Lilly would be to just have a dlc showing what happened to her after she left the group instead of trying to shoehorn her into one of the regular games.
I wouldn't mind a dlc about any minor and/or Season 2 character.
I second this.
Other than the "lone wolf" character type and them both having a younger sister, I fail to see the similarities.
I also got the feeling that Jane was just a carbon copy of Molly. That was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw her. I think she may even be the same character model and they just changed her hair and recolored the outfit for Jane.
I have a feeling TellTale may have regretted not using Molly anymore than they did so they created a new character that had all the same attributes that Molly had and even looked similar to her and simply gave her a new name.
No, I'm pretty sure Jane and Molly have entirely different proportions and shapes.
While part of me doubts that was the logic going in, I don't have a problem with it if it was realized and invoked during development of her character.
Well i didn't kill kenny in season 2 and i stuck with him till the end i refused to go into wellington to stick with kenny so hopefully he's in season 3, i definitely miss lee though
I want to know what happened to Christa.
Yeah i think she'll be in it hey, i just hope that they'll never kill off clem hey
I want to see Lily, Christa or Molly again, but it will be so unrealistic. They bring back Kenny, but I really want to know what happening with Lily. She was my favorite character. She actually was smart and well aware of the dangers and what to do to avoid any risk. She had the status of UNKNOW. Maybe i will meet her in the new season. What do you think guys, she could be the leader of Wellington? (sorry for my grammar, I am not pretty good at English)
I don't think it's unrealistic at all for characters to return - it happens all the time on TV Shows and no one bats an eye and it happens frequently in books as well, then there is real which where people always seem to end up bumping into people they've met a while back.
Would be cool if Maybelle made a return
Yeah, I get what you're saying. I guess I should've phrased it as being very unlikely that we'd run into not one, but two old characters. The chances of Clementine and whoever finding themselves at the same exact place at the same exact time is just very surreal. It's not impossible, just extremely unlikely. Still, if Lily showed up, I'd be lying if I claimed I was bothered by her unlikely return.
To be honest, I think that if Lilly is still alive at this point and at a community, then the chances are rather good for Clementine to come across her again since there are only a few places with humans and resources left - which are communities.
What about if we only met old characters playing as Javier? Then they would still make an appearance but it wouldn't seem forced or unrealistic, and only the players would make the connection between Clementine and the other character (Lilly for example), not Javier.
