    I think his popularity comes from being a fun little alternative to Carley.

    Overrated Doug....thinks he is such hot shit.

  • Carver is underrated, and his ideology. Also Carlos. And that cool jacket of Clems, which can heal wounds.

    I think Becca is underrated and I'm outraged that she isn't an avatar option.
    I guess Lily would be one that I wish got more attention, too. Her emotion when she talks about her dad almost made me tear up, and I hated Larry's guts. But I tried to help Lily just because of that.

    As for overrated, I actually don't know if any characters are overrated.
    Telltale writes good characters. They just don't use them that well. I. E. too much (Kenny) or too little (Chuck or Pete)

    Are any of the 400 Days characters an option?

    Agreed. I still maintain that Arvo/the Russians would've been a great/decent character(s) had they actually developed them properly, for example.

  • Overrated:
    Nate, Eddie, Wyatt, Christa, Omid, Lilly, Carver, Luke, Jane, Lee, Clem, the St. John's, Molly

    Underrated:
    Katjaa, Edith, Sarah, Becca, Shel, The Stranger, Vince

    Anyone else I feel like they are either in the middle or I don't care enough about them to judge. I also purposely left out new season 3 characters since it isn't over yet.

    Overrated
    Kenny (um yeah yikes to the extreme)
    Luke (I liked him at first, but then I realized how boring his character is)
    Clementine (imo, season 1 clem was the best clem)

    Underrated
    Sarah (<3)
    Arvo (eh. he's not really as bad as y'all think he is)
    Duck (literally have no idea as to why SO many people found him annoying like?????? tell me)
    Doug (prefer him over carley)
    Katjaa (beautiful)
    Satria (beautiful 2)
    Nick (a realistic character)
    Shel + Becca (idk i really love these two)
    Norma (I actually really liked norma. it's a shame that she's treated as a villain when we basically destroyed everything she worked so hard for : /)
    Lilly (honestly my favorite character out of the entire series)
    Rebecca + Alvin (never really see anyone talk about these two)
    Edith (season 3, why did you destroy her)

  • Well, that sucks. Shel definitely deserves that honor over Victor.

    • Luke (he's a cool guy and I like him, but he gets way too much attention and his death did not faze me at all).
    • Nick

    Underrated

    • Ben
    • Rebecca
    • Lilly
    • Mark
    • Matthew
  • IMO Season 1 Clem is who's overrated. I liked her well enough, but compared to Seasons 2 & 3 there's not really that much depth to her.

    Overrated: Lee

    (yes, this is a joke post)

  • That's not surprising given their "alternatives/competition".

    Also almost every play through I've seen, people obsess over both of them too.

  • Kenny is by far the most overrated character there is.

    • Kenny

  • Hmm, I'm kinda curious, how can you say that Randy and Gill are underrated characters if they literally have no development at all and a determinant 5-minute cameo?

    Overrated: * Kenny * Luke * Nick * Javier * David Underrated: * Sarita * Edith * Christa * Randy * Patricia * Gill * Carlos

  • Why did you name them and NOT Patricia?

    Overrated:
    1. Carley (there will be a joke)
    2. Rebecca (shes pregnant and...thats about it. I'm missing some characterisation)
    3. Luke (till episode 3 I thought he would be a secret pedophile, which is NOT good in terms of developing a good character)

    Underrated:
    1. Doug (get the joke? Still, good guy)
    2. Ben (he may be, well, Ben, but he has interesting character development. And one single awesome scene)
    3. Chuck (hes what my apocalypse partner should be: a bit rough, but caring, friendly and helpful)

  • I personally really do not like him.

  • I find a lot of people really do like him, just players in general too not just people from the forums, I belong to the 15% of people that don't like him and that like Jane, but I believe this choice comes down to people's personalities and how they view his pros and cons, obviously.

    i also respect yours.

  • Rabid? Bro he doesn't have rabies how can you suggest he's rabid?

    Luke, I don't understand why everyone loved him so much. He was annoying and boring.

    Nate, creepy as hell

    Underrated

    Katjaa and Sarita, you think they would be more popular with how popular Kenny is but sadly no. Most of his other fans don't care about them.

    Alvin

    Carly. ( She was simply a great character, and I'm sorry that we didn't get to have her around for longer than we did.)

    Chuck. - ( In the short time Chuck was apart of the group, he contributed quite a bit with his upbeat spirit, and his willingness to sacrifice himself for Clementine.)

    Alvin. - ( He may not have been an assertive type of Man, like Kenny was for example, but when push came to shove, he was definitely a Pillar of Strength.)

    Pete - ( I say that because of how short a time he was around in the game. We never really got to see what he could do, or how he could help the group, especially when Kenny was going through his loss of Sarita.

    Pete was assertive, yet he was also a calm voice of reason. He wasn't somebody who went off half-cocked, but he thought about the situation, and how best to respond to it, before he made a move.

    And in a survival situation, that's how you have to be, you have think about every move that you make before you make it, as it could have lasting repercussions.

    By his own admission, Pete was also an expert at reading people. And that is a skill that is invaluable.

  • Ah, so just underrrated characters?

    Kenny (um yeah yikes to the extreme)

    Disagree to the extreme naturally but obviously he's not underrated either.

    Luke (I liked him at first, but then I realized how boring his character is)

    Agreed, rubbish Telltale writing.

    Clementine (imo, season 1 clem was the best clem)

    Agreed.

    Underrated

    Sarah (<3)

    They could have done more with her character definitely.

    Arvo (eh. he's not really as bad as y'all think he is)

    Yeah it's not like he ganged up on the group with his Russian pals or shot Clementine...oh wait.

    Duck (literally have no idea as to why SO many people found him annoying like?????? tell me)

    I think it was to do with his voice more than anything else. It was kind of annoying but it's a shame his character couldn't grow into a survivor like Clem.

    Doug (prefer him over carley)

    He was underrated because he didn't get given the same screen time as Carley in episode 1. That's why more chose her over him.

    Katjaa (beautiful)

    Was she ever underrated? I agree though.

    Satria (beautiful 2)

    Yes agree. Sadly she only existed for plot reasons and never had a chance to be worth anything

    Nick (a realistic character)

    Yep, totally wasted after episode 2. Telltale should be ashamed of his treatment.

    Shel + Becca (idk i really love these two)

    Wow that's the first time i've seen someone say that. I couldn't stand them though. I'm glad they weren't overrrated or underrated really.

    Norma (I actually really liked norma. it's a shame that she's treated as a villain when we basically destroyed everything she worked so hard for : /)

    Never played Michonne, never will.

    Lilly (honestly my favorite character out of the entire series)

    Ah hence the Kenny hate probably? I don't think Lilly was underrated though. A lot of people definitely held her in high regard.

    Rebecca + Alvin (never really see anyone talk about these two)

    Probably agree. Both characters didn't receive the development they should have had. Again, Telltale's sucky Season 2 writing.

    Edith (season 3, why did you destroy her)

    Didn't know her for too long but it was shit the way they killed her off.

  • He's overrated because you don't like him? Please share why you think he's overrated. I disagree of course

  • A psychotic person doesn't have a conscience, something Kenny had. Also showing remorse for his past actions, something he also did. They also don't just calm down after something psychotic they did
