oh man really I didn't read the comic dam, I thought it was a good idea too. I thought maybe Bill Willingham would read this and be like DarkForce412 your a genius. lol yeah rit.
Her name is Kelsy Brannigan. Here is a 3D model of her http://tf3dm.com/3d-model/female-cop-76917.html Apparently this is her model in episode 3. I don't know if this is still gonna be her in that episode. Anyway there's more 3D models for the next episode in that website too so check them out.

I don't see how what you're describing really constitutes a significant difference. It's basically quibbling over setting details. Whether the protagonist is a cop or not, it would still clearly be an example of the Clear My Name trope.
And let's be clear about this. Bigby may be called a "sheriff" in Fabletown, and the fables may respect that authority. But he's not a cop in any real sense of the word. Fabletown is not an officially recognized government body. At best, Bigby's job would fall under the category of "private security." And his investigation is definitely breaking the law.
As for examples, The Fugitive would be the most well-known one. This also happens to Harry in The Dresden Files. It's a fairly regular occurrence in Batman and Spider-Man comics. It's basically the entire premise of The Cape. And that's just off the top of my head.
Anyway, having read the comics, I just can't imagine the mundy police being able to pose any kind of real threat to Fabletown. Not with the magic that the fables have at their command. It would be utterly boring if they tried to drag that out because you just know that Frau Totenkinder can put a stop to their investigation any time she wants, and there are so many more fable villain that could propel the story that are far, far more interesting.
It doesn't really make much sense either. Bigby didn't really do anything that would make the mundy police think he was a suspect. All he did was walk up to look at the crime scene. That's not a crime. It's not even terribly suspicious behavior. That's the building he lives in, and the victim is someone he knows. It would even be relatively easy to verify. I didn't even think Bigby was a suspect. I figured they were just questioning him because he knew the victim.
Unlike those stories you reference, regular cops in TWAU don't know that Bigby is a cop, if anything they suspect hes a bit delusional or some kind of a criminal. Name a single story where that is done.
The story would be really fucking cool if a mundie got involved. Think about the interactions with that character. And the whole mystery of the community in the perspective of a mundie.
It's also a story they already did. Read issues #12 & 13. Unless they have something significantly new to add about fables interacting with mundies, it's not a story I need to pay Telltale $25.00 to tell me again.
What? This is not the same. Not even close. The story would be really fucking cool if a mundie got involved. Think about the interactions with… more that character. And the whole mystery of the community in the perspective of a mundie. If you don't look forward to that, then to bad for you.

Meh. Fables is supposed to be about just that. Fables. The mundies rarely get involved. There was one arc in the comics that had a mundy r… moreeporter snooping around Fabletown, which I think covered how the fables deal with nosy mundies pretty thoroughly. I don't feel like there's any particularly compelling need to tread down that road again unless it's going to add something fairly significant.
I understand that. But there are also plenty who have. Why only satisfy one group by rehashing something that Fables fans have already read when they can satisfy everyone with a story that's actually new?
A story needs to justify why we as the audience should invest in it. Why is this something that's worthy of my time and money? That's perhaps even more true of adaptations to another medium. Why is this a story that can only be told in the form of a video game? And what does it do to expand the Fables universe? That's a point that Telltale seems to get that many other licensed games totally fail at. They're not satisfied to just cash in on a popular title and lazily copy what's already been done with it. In both The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us, they've pushed the boundaries of the setting and created a richer, more expansive world.
It could be for players yet to read the comic. We can't say no to everything just because it's been done before if Telltale could put a new spin on it. Much like the situation in TWD Ep2 being done in the comic, yet Telltale made it different enough to be entertaining and fun, intense for comic fans. It shouldn't just be done for the sake of it, if Telltale do it they will make it it's own thing

Ha ha. I actually didn't even remember the detective's name. When I first saw the title to this thread, my first thought was, "Zapp Brannigan in TWAU?"

There's a huge portion of players who hasn't even read the comics.
I did it. But I failed like twice
It's also about their interactions with and avoiding Mundies
She deserves it after the brain-numbing noise that dug inside of her skull.

Maybe they're just following Brannigans Law.
Brannigans Law is like Brannigans love... FAST AND HARD!
