To your question of playable clementine I'm pretty sure we'll never get that again. The series has moved into a different direction with Javier as the lead and Gabe as a possible co-lead. I could be wrong which is entirely possible, but I think that is the case with clementine.
Alright, I enjoyed Episode 4 a lot more than Ep1-3 (which were awful). Clementine felt like Clementine, every Clem scene was well written (i… morencluding the new flashbacks which luckily have improved models), the choices were actually difficult for once, choices mattered more than usual, gave us hubs (but unfortunately not many conversations)... you did a lot of good this episode - but I still want to play as Clementine (Hell, I'm fine with a 50/50 split if you guys really want Javier to be playable!).
* Why are the episodes STILL short?
* Will Clem ever actually be playable?
* Will we get a Clem DLC after Episode 5 or a Clem focused S4 anytime soon?
The Kenny flashback was well written (I almost teared up). Good work on that.
* How did you come up with the idea of killing the person you chose to save?
* Why David chases Clint at the end of the episode, when clear… morely he wanted to step up and be the good guy?
* Will we ever see again recognizable characters in non-flashbacks?
* What is the stage of developing of ep 5 (nearly finished and whatever..)?
* What happened to Max if you decide to spare him in ep3?
All I have seen is Christa cared about Clem. She was worried about Clem not being able to make a fire on her own. And she told the bandits she was alone and told Clem to run away from the bandits...
All over season 2 Clem can talk about Christa.
But very strange in season 3 she doesn't exist anymore in Clem's heart.
Question 1
How is Clem able to read and spell the meds in Episode 3, with a first grade education?
Question 2
Is the New Frontier C… morelem a image of Christa? She hates groups, closed, and attitude. Also what is with Clem's disrespect towards Christa? She travels with her for two years and never mentions her. Does Christa abuse Clem during the timeskip because of the resentment towards Omids death?
I don't know if I'm too late, I just wanted to say...
Telltale, episode 4 was AMAZING. You really made me feel so attached to all the characters. And also what happened after the Ava/Tripp choice was brilliant.
I'm one of the few people that loved that scene were Gabe exposed my darkest secret, it was awesome.
Also, it's amazing how far Conrad as a determinant character has gone, I hope he can tough it out just a little longer.
* Season finales are terrifying and hard and complicated and full of pressure for meeting, exceeding, and exploding expectations. Like all… more things that are incredibly hard, you hope for them to be rewarding for everyone when you get to the finish line. And that's something that every one of us working on the finale have been thinking about. Every day.
* That sounds like a choice for Clem to make.
* That's up to you.

And we definitely have been listening to your feedback about wanting hubs, and doing our best to get hubs into the episodes where they make sense for the gameplay. You can see that Chris took that challenge seriously in Ep 4; kudos to him and the team for that.
Loved Episode 4. Loved the period piece...ahh memories, any way...I have a couple of questions. Are you guys thinking about a season 4? A… morend if so...have you guys considered letting us explore in detail places like Prescott and Richmond. The one major flaw I can level is that your art team works like hell to make these amazing places...yet we the players never get to explore. I would love for you guys to put exploration and a central hub into the game like how the motel was in S1...Also CLEMENTINE!!! Need more play time with her.
p.s. Extra points...give us TWAU S2.
David feels that the NF leadership has let him, his family, and the town of Richmond down. He's a person that sees the world in black and white; as soon as he found the loot from Prescott and other towns, his first reaction was to try to do the right thing , which to him was to expose Joan. He was extremely disappointed by the response he got to that attempt (and in some branches, he let his feelings get away from him.)
Will Eleanor have more screen time in Episode 5?
Why does David have the same feelings toward Clint that he does for Joan? ( If this ques… moretion has spoilers that would rather not be revealed ). Will the team address his reasonings behind chasing after Clint if players shot Joan in Episode 5?
Thank you to everyone coming to answer fan questions.
...Dude you gave me a heart attack. Because your avatar matches Alyssa's, for a split second I thought you were an official telltale employee.
No offense to you, but I do hope you are completely wrong. The hatred for Gabe and love for Clementine is so strong, it would be INSANE they switched roles and made Gabe co-lead.
To your question of playable clementine I'm pretty sure we'll never get that again. The series has moved into a different direction with Jav… moreier as the lead and Gabe as a possible co-lead. I could be wrong which is entirely possible, but I think that is the case with clementine.
I'm sorry to say that if Joan shot Tripp, due to the chaos that broke out in the square just after, there really wasn't the chance for any rapid medical response/rescue efforts. Tripp definitely dies.
Oookaaaay let's see what we have here...
This one is kinda stupid but is there a chance Tripp can survive? I saw him roll over believing he… more was dead but he weren't and I've seen a few other video game characters survive much worse. It doesn't look to good for him but I am a very hopeful guy c:
I also kind of expected to hear clem's last name this episode so maybe in the next one?
And what's the deal with clem and javier? Are they good friends, best friends or is it kind of like a new Lee sort of thing?
Last one: I don't exactly want to know the full details but maybe a little hint at a certain scene that plays out like Lee's armed with death moment during the finale? Kinda been on my wishlist for a while now and it would be a sweet throwback. I hope episode 5 goes in the direction of clem taking on a herde of walkers and javi taking on the new frontier.
Ah.....sorry for the unfortunate disappointment. I've been hoping all season I was wrong on clementine, but I've unfortunately been right so far. After hearing telltale state Javier is the main character and this is Javier's story it automatically killed any hope I had of present clementine playable. I really hope I'm completely wrong on this.

Hello, I have two questions. First, if you let the timer run out on the kill Dr. Lingard decision, Clementine can decide to kill Lingard or … morenot. Another user told me she can decide to spare him based on your choices, is that true? If she decides to take the deal, he tells her where AJ is then she needlessly kills him anyways, I think that is way too dark for her. So please at least answer this one.
Second, you understand that a quite a few people don't like the prospect of Clementine and Gabe getting together right? I think most people would be satisfied if you just left that choice up to the player.
Other than that I think the episode was great and is a step in the right direction.
Shades Chick is a friend of David, was surprised to hear the news of what Javi/David found in the factory (and how the leadership reacted to it.) She went to talk to other Richmonders about what she heard in that confrontation.
Our incredible art team, led by Art Director Tara Rueping and Lead Character Artist Donald Anderson, created the characters.
"He's been out of it since I got here" is her exact quote when he runs in on Clem rummaging through shelves, so it's assumed that she's been… more there for at least long enough to use as an explanation for why Lingard is out cold.
Which means it can also be assumed she has been searching for supplies for roughly that same allotted time.
Okay, first off, Episode 4 was great. You guys really showed people that you can make choices matter in your games, where we now have 7 possible determinant characters in total in episode 4. Ooh boy. Also I'd like to add, that bait-and-switch choice you did was evil... but I congratulate you on making that move. I was actually thinking to myself earlier in the episode if you would ever use that tactic for a choice in a future series. "It would really raise the stakes", I said. Guess I spoke too soon haha.
But, I digress. Question time!
Would you ever want to make a Walking Dead story in the future, but have the conflict be more from the Walkers than actual humans? Season 1 had this, but we haven't seen that real threat in a while. Evil humans like Carver and Joan are good, intense antagonists; But having hordes of walking infectious corpses whom you can't negotiate with can be stressful.
Although, I may have spoken too soon once again. Seems like Richmond is going to have that same problem soon enough, what with all those walkers pouring in through the walls...
Can any telltale staff explain why Clementine is in this episode/series and why we still have flashbacks? It came off as shoehorned fanservice to have Clementine and the flashbacks in general.
This season really hasn't been about clementine. It's about Javier's story and his family with clementine coming and going along the way. Half the time she's gone and reappears for no reason and she's just there for the sake of being there.

All over season 2 Clem can talk about Christa.
But very strange in season 3 she doesn't exist anymore in Clem's heart.
LOVED the flashbacks this episode, this quality time is what we wanted back on ep1. too bad we cant erase those but moving forward this is what the fans appreciate, a quality time with characters we chose to love more than others. S2 endings meant a lot to us. this episode made those choices matter.
Adam Miller is the flashback master for Episode 4. He focused entirely on the Kenny/Jane/Ava scenes, and boy did he deliver.
Chris Schro… moreyer, who's here answering questions, did the design work for those scenes (and many more) in the episode.
I'm extremely happy that you liked it
I have a question with how the writing process at Telltale works...
So, how long does it usually take to write an episode? Is it only once you're done writing the whole episode that the computer work begins on it? Or do the developers work on it while you write? And after you're finished an episode, do you immediately move onto the next?
Props to Adam Miller. The flashbacks in E4 were a highlight of the episode for me personally, and I know for many people here. Chris Schroyer - they looked amazing.

Thanks for the reply Alyssa. He's one of the most complex characters, and I was having trouble with that one. ( He's also one of my favorites, hot head that he is. Kudos to the team for developing someone as difficult as David. )
Comments
That answer was previously addressed with them saying that it isn't forgotten about, so you will probably see it soon..
Or rewind?

For rewind, I believe it's been mentioned that statistics showed hardly anyone used them.
Yeah I don't know what they mean by that. They said the same thing on the previous AMA.
And yet everyone is complaining that they got rid of it.
Almost half the cast of episode 4 became determinant so maybe everyone is determinant by the end
Clint betrayed David.

I don't like optional romances, so please let Clem decides herself.
Canon to the walking dead universe...
No. I think this depends on Clementine's own choices, not ours.
This might be canon in the walking dead universe.
Gabentine haters:
Gabentine supporters/people who really think the choice belongs to Clem:
Thank you!

I will sell my second born child to get rewind back

Sorry, it's going to have to be your first born or no deal.

Thanks on all fronts!
Come on, can somebody answer the first question I had? My saves keep getting corrupted so I can't test it myself.
i hope they at least change his attitude in retrospect

Because TWD at its core is about clem

Great question. I think she'll definitely wear that coat in the winter; it gets cold.
Stupid? Check.
Probably means they'll write in the decision for her character whether she wants to or not
Not a question but as others have said the way you guys handled clems writing and character development so far is really good. Especially in this ep
Glad you knew who I was talking about.
Guess that explains the look she gave Javier when Joan ordered them in.
Thank you very much!
Where is Christa's search party in season 2?
Confirmation bias is not restricted to the sciences. Statistics can be manipulated to "provide" evidence.

I can already tell you the answers: No, no, no.
