Tell Him Off: The New [Glass Him]?
So, in Ties That Bond Part 2, you get a flashback where David is telling Javier off. You can choose to either sit there and let him rant, or, as the game puts it, "Tell him off." What does this result in?
Javier telling David that his wife is going to leave him, because, according to Javi, she told him so. She didn't, a fact she makes perfectly clear. In fact, in the end results, the choice actually presents this as a conscious choice the player made: "you and X amount of people told David that Kate wanted to leave him."
According to a few of the playthroughs I've seen, around 60-65% of people chose to tell him off, as opposed to letting him rant. For those who chose to tell him off, how many of you immediately regretted picking it because that's not even remotely what you intended?
I don't know about anyone else, but when I see the phrase "tell him off," I imagine, like, telling David to fuck off and get off my back. I don't think about blatantly lying about what his wife told me. Maybe I'm crazy.

I honestly think this is way worse. Glass him is more an outdated term. The tell him off option has something entirely different said
Wow, I apologised and let him rant. What the hell? That doesn't even seem in Javier's nature to do, especially if Javi is crashing there. What a really weird and out of character thing
Exactly what I thought. It'd be one thing if Kate had told Javier that she wanted to leave with him. Even then, though, that's not what the option says you'll say. But it's even worse because Javi straight-up lies about what Kate said, and then the player gets berated by her for daring to accuse her of such a thing.
Wow and in mine when I apologised, Kate looks to Javier shocked and almost betrayed by the fact he isn't defending her, so naturally I assumed the other option would be to just tell him to lay off of her and that it's just an army glass.
I chose "Tell him off" then as soon as he said Kate was going to leave him I quit and restarted that bit.
Glad I chose to stay out of it.
I was able to easily tell what "Glass Him" meant but "Tell Him Off" was inconceivable.
Luckly it was only at the beginning of the episode, so as soon as that happened I restarted the episode and chose the other option.
I choose to let it go, and then I was mad that I didnt "Tell him off" because Javi doesnt just let David talk, he basically tells David that he can yell at us anytime he wants, which is what I didnt want, but then I saw "Tell him off" just makes Javi straight up lie. They were both very misleading.
Am I the only one who knew [Glass him] literally meant take the glass and hit Woody in the face with it?
As for the [Tell him off] choice, yeah, that was really bad on Telltale's part. I watched a play through where someone tells him off, and I remember going "Wait, what?!" when I saw that. That was the last thing I was expecting him to say.
Told him off. Reloaded after Javi acted like an asshole.
I also knew exactly what [glass him] meant, but I understand how people were confused. However the "Tell him off" and "Let it go" choice was still pretty bad, considering both come out as something I didnt really want to say.
I made a save file where I chose that answer and I kept it because I love to see other outcomes.
I just spent the last 5 minutes flirting with Kate so i knew the tell him off option was going to be something regarding Kate. I actually thought it might go further and bring up Kate and Javier's flirting. I'm more mad at Kate. Don't hold my hand and look into my eyes all adoringly if you weren't serious. She started the flirting and you don't flirt with your husband's brother if you're content to stay in the marriage.
Yeah, this was pretty misleading. I didn't do it myself, but I feel bad for anyone who did.
Though, I was never mislead by the "Glass Him". I knew perfectly it meant to smack the Woodsman when I first saw it...
Yeah I felt that it was worded incorrectly, I thought I was going to defend her not throw her under the bus
That doesn't sound as good as the original "Glass him", the most unintentionally funny moment in the series.
I remember we had so much fun with glas him in the day ooh good old times
The choice was indeed badly worded in my view and I restarted due to it. However, it is definitely understandable for Javier to think she was thinking about leaving him, and I'm not sure why people are saying he's lying (though sure, she didn't explicitly say it in that scene). I just didn't . . . expect him to tell David she was thinking of leaving him. I thought he'd simply give him a piece of his mind without throwing her under the bus, so to speak.
Edit: Okay, I watched it on youtube again just now as I stopped the scene last time as soon as I realised what was going to be said, so I didn't remember it correctly. You're right, he does say 'she told me so'. Now, whether she's said that or not to him off-screen, we don't know. It could be she's never said that, but again, I can definitely understand him inferring that she was going to leave David. It's still a bit of stupid move to say what he did though. But if she did say it, it's something that people are likely to deny. (Also, it's possible that if he was lying, he said it in the spur of the moment, especially if he does have feelings for her then.)
"Glass Him" made sense to me, I mean in that situation what else are you going to do with a guy you had a fight with and a glass? "Tell Him Off" though was a tremendous failure, did everyone fall asleep when they were writing and programming that part into the game? It was completely out of left field and misleading. This better not happen again, if you're going to completely remove the rewind option in a game that encourages multiple playthroughs then at least let us know what we're going to say or do. Season 1 did this very well.
I knew that "glass him" meant hitting Woody in the face with the glass, but "tell him off" was very misleading.
season 3 is full of deceiving dialogue options, another one is whenever clementine is having the second flashback with her, aj, and ava and ava was talking about some people she got separated from and the choices where 1. what were you scouting for? 2. it's a tough world 3. don't get your hopes up and i chose the second one and clem's all like "if they died, they died" and im like woah, what?! another one clem says is when i choose the 'im old enough' option when talking about aj and clem says "im old enough to put a bullet in your head" i've never had so much regret in a choice lol
I also picked it's a tough world and i'm old enough and knew where Clem was going to go with the responses before i picked them. Clem doesn't know this woman at all and should be wary of her. Unless you picked the clearest of options (What were you scouting for/His parents are dead.) it was clear (At least to me) that they were going to be hostile responses.
Can anyone tell me more about the "glass him" situation. Never heard people talking about it and what was misleading about it ?
Yeah, those were the days, lol
In The Wolf Among Us, when Bigby is talking to Woody in the bar, you're offered the choice of "Glass him". A lot of people, myself included, thought it meant to buy him a drink, or make a toast with him or something. Instead, Bigby takes a glass and bashes him in the head with it. Apparently, in some circles, glass him means just that, but not everyone knew that, so it was a hilarious misunderstanding.
It came from The Wolf Among Us. Without spoiling it there's a scene where you're at a bar and talking to this one character who's drinking. You then get an option to "Glass him" Lots of people misinterpreted it as buying him a drink when you really smash the glass right in his face. I actually have heard that term before so I never had that mistake happen, it is quite the vague option though when I think about it.
And when it comes to TWD people are saying that telling David off was the new "Glass him" as it is not what you wanted your character to say. I actually had to restart when that happened as I didn't want that to happen at all. I was expecting Javi just to call him a jackass or something.
I'm so glad I didn't pick that option, lol. I wouldn't have started over, just cringingly went through with it.
When I first played twau and had that option I never thought it meant to share a drink with him lol I guess it could be misinterpreted in different parts of the world but I always thought it meant just that, glass him in the face.
Perfect opportunity to make a gif...
You're welcome.
I was thinking to tell him off, because I would say what's on my mind as I'm pissed too and we're brothers so he'll understand. But that option made me go WTF so many times I had to restart the episode and just laugh how poorly done that choice was.
I honestly thought the choice was much better than I thought after Javi said it.
That scene now needs to be in episode 3.
I would bash david's head in.
Yep, you're the chosen one.
Though I laughed like crazy when Bigby smashed the glass. Like: dude, that's the opposite of what I ment!
thanks for the replies. Now I remember. I knew it meant taking the glass and bash him in the head.
I don't know why but since most of Kate/Javier's interactions are about him either accepting/refusing her advances. I'm wondering if she will choose Javier/ staying with David depending on what you told her. Bringing up marriage when things don't go her own way is kinda hypocritical of her. And that was BEFORE the zombies when he was right there. Jeez, make up your mind Kate.
Took the words straight out of my mouth. Instant replay.
