I kinda felt like he's good at it to I have a friend who is very good at hiding things it was hard to me at the start of our friendship but now it's easier so he must've felt hurt because of his wife and didn't want to feel the pain away so he kinda kept the real him away
I think David is great at hiding his real self when he wants to be. I think he can be absolutely charming when he wants to be...just look when he kicked Clem out of NF...the other members were actually shocked.
If I were doing S3...It would be a retelling of the first 4 years with Javier...to build up the characters. We are told that Kate was the smart one and that she kept things strait and logical...yet we never see that.
The kids...what was it like for them? We should be invested in their characters.
Episode 1: For All Seasons
We start as the beginning of ANF started.which I thought was extremely well done. The first episode would deal with Hector turning and the 3 Months staying in the house. Dealing with bandits that try to take their stuff who were friends of David and Kate...Kate would save Javi's life....end with them leaving the house
Episode 2: Time to Live
Would finish out the first year of the apocalypse the van gets a flat and Javi goes for set in an auto shop. Kate has her hands full with the kids as Gabe runs off because he sees a car that looks like the one his father left in. (You would play as Kate as you have to save Gabe...bonding moment for Kate and the Kids)
Episode 3: Time to Die
Year 2 of the apocalypse...the kids are growing and finding clothes is an adventure in itself as is teaching them how to survive when Kate and Javi themselves are just barely making it. They meet a man name Eric who is dying of cancer...he teaches Kate and Javi some survival tricks.(This is a character building episode) Eric asks only one thing...they watch over him and make sure he does not turn when he dies. We learn Kate's mother died of cancer. Javi and Kate share their feelings for each other.
Episode 4: Time to Laugh
Even in the apocalypse there are worse things than walkers....carnies. A community made up of people who are used to living on the road..this traveling group sets up for one hell of a carnival. But in the apocalypse nothing is as it seems...the bright lights and music draws the walkers to the carnies who try and thin out the herds so communities can grow. The entertainment gets deadly when a hurricane hits just as the largest herd ever seen descends on them. Purely an adventure episode giving the kids some time to enjoy the carnival atmosphere (stay away from the 100% all natural hot dogs). Year 3 ends
Episode 5: Time to Cry
The beginning of the 4th year of the apocalypse and we find Javi and Kate sleeping together in an abandoned hotel...outside of a Six Flags...the kids remember a time when their mother was alive and they stayed at the same hotel. Flashbacks to show a softer side of David. A gang of Bandits try to catch Kate and the Kids...The Hotel burns as the Garcia clan tries to escape the bandits and a herd of burning walkers....Final scene shows them on the road passing a sign that reads Prescott Airfield.
(I wrote this for another thread) It is easy to judge the writing of any given season...but it is infinitely harder to write a season with all the choices available and carry over detriment characters with meaningful dialogue because in the back of your mind you question how many people will see this scene
.
For all the things ANF does well or wrong, never forget that the work the writers do and the thoughts that go into the writing are not easy. Writing for a game like this is way harder than for a game like Uncharted or even The Last of US....those games are very linear in how the story spools out. And while Telltale games are not overly complicated in plot...they are more complex.
For me..I do enjoy ANF...but it is one massive mess...and when EP 5 hits I am going to go Episode by episode and point out how things could have been improved. 20/20 armchair writing for the win.
Interesting project....Try to write an episode how you would have done season 3...but keep in mind you need to include choices and be mindfull of each impact those choices will have....you will write some scenes up to 3-4 times with variance due to choices...and those choices may compound due to other choices...this is usually why in any one episode there is maybe 5 things that matter...and of those 5 only 1 or 2 mean much for the story as a whole.
