Travis instead of Ben?

edited January 2013 in The Walking Dead
How do you think the game might have played out differently?

Do you think Travis was just a stupid teen like Ben, or do you think having had a "Dad in Special Forces" might have made him a more useful ally?

    Ben was an easily panicking guy that perfectly knew he wasn't very useful.Travis was a complete moron that thought he was some kind of badass because "his dad was Special Forces".

    He looked even more stupid than Ben. On the plus side of this he might have got himself killed before he could have any of Ben's negative effects.

    Did you see how he was died? In first situation he was tripped on the stone (ok everybody could) The second situation he tryed to take Mark's rifle and received a bullet in the stomach He's dumb.

    I cringe every time I see him die (the version where you save David - I never saw the other one), because it was just so stupid. He turned around, stood there for a good 2-3 seconds before backing away slowly and tripping over nothing. I know he had just finished throwing up from witnessing his teacher's leg being chopped off and was probably in shock, but there was more than enough time for him to get away. I don't think he would have been much different from Ben.

    Travis was mr Doucheface. Dads in special forces... AND?
    I trip on a rock when I could easily run to Ben. His death was dummer than Ducks tractor driving

    It doesn't matter who his dad was. His dad isn't there.
    Travis was as stupid and incompetent as Ben. Or even more, seeing how Ben managed to survive longer than 5 minutes with our group.

    I totally forgot he trew up when you cut David's leg, while Ben is just shocked.

    I believe he actually tripped on a tree stump if you save Mr. Parker.

    I didn't realize he'd thrown up. It makes a little more sense now, because I wondered why he was lagging behind the group.

    He's more annoying and stupider than Ben. Yes it's actually possible.
  • edited January 2013
    The moment he said his dad was in the Special Forces and that makes him an expert on human nature, I knew he was a tool.

    Travis just led me to think Ben must have been the "smart" kid in class. Seriously, if Ben and Travis were the last two survivors in their class, imagine what the rest of those kids must have been like. That Parker guy must have had his hands full 24/7.
  • edited January 2013
    He probably would've gotten us all killed by Episode 3 o .o

    Please. Jenny Pitcher was the smart one.

    Travis was a tool. 'Shut up! My dad was special forces, I know what I'm doing' *seconds later falls over his own feet and dies in the most pathetic way.

    I had totally forgotten of Travis's existence until i clicked on this thread...To bad we only got to see that one special forces technique where he trips over a rock and gets his face chewed off by zombies

    Now now, that's not entirely true. If you fail to cut off Parker's leg, we see another one of Travis' legendary special forces technique. Specifically his special forces disarming technique where he acquires a bullet from Mark's gun by grabbing it by the barrel while a man has his finger on the trigger and forcibly pulling it, barrel first, towards his chest. :D

    I actually had a similar theory. That school's test scores must have been awful.:p
  • edited January 2013
    Okay. The girls of the class all died in the gym, killed by reanimated Jenny Pitcher. I think the most of the rest of the class was killed by the bandits that raided their camps. So we can't tell if they are dumber. Probably not. They just had bad luck.
  • edited January 2013
    So much hate ;_;
    You people disgust me!..I think that they were both kinda stupid,and it really didn't matter who lived.I just hoped that they both would've survived (Ben and Travis) because then Ben would've been happier :D ...Maybe :/
  • edited January 2013
    He thought he was good at survival, because his dad was "Special Forces"..
    Travis making the deal with the bandits would have been much more logical, since he even tried to grab Mark's gun.
  • edited January 2013
    He was cute, I'll give him that, but he was brainless.
  • edited January 2013
    I think he's a bigger dumbfuck than Ben. "my dad was special forces" yeah, that makes YOU a zombie-killer.
  • edited January 2013
    Hahaha!

    I've made you all like Ben by default!

    Oh god, I can totally imagine how Travis would be...:

    Lee: "Hey Travis, I'm going to go for a run into the city with Kenny. Can you look after Clementine in the meantime?"
    Travis: "Damnit Lee, my dad was special forces. I shouldn't be left fucking babysitting, I should be going on the mission with you!"

    Kenny: "Lilly, I just don't think you're capable of being the leader anymo-"
    Lilly: "Fuck you Kenny! You think you have the right to lead our group after all the shit you pulled!"
    Travis: "You guys ever stop to think that I should be the leader? I have more experience then any of you, after all."

    Carley: "Ok, have a firm grasp on the gun and don't lock your elbo-"
    Travis: "Do you honestly believe I don't already know how to shoot a gun? God..."

    Kenny: "Okay Lee, you find us a way out of here. You're still the smartest fucker amongst us."
    Travis: "Hmpf, yeah right.."

    Lee: "Carley, we're going to make a run into the city. Going to see if we can break into the gun shop across the street from the pharmacy. What ammo does your gun use, so we can keep an eye out."
    Carley: "Oh, it uses 9mm bullets."
    Travis: "No, it's 12mm!"
    Carley: "No... it's definitely-"
    Travis: "I know what I'm talking about you idiot, my dad told me once."


    Can you imagine if we had a character like that in the game... Ewww.

    Yeah! Lily would probably shoot him and not Calrey/Doug! Because he is FUCKING ANNOYING!

    That's true, at least.

    Lilly: "Travis, you have until Kenny deals with that walker to tell me it was her and not YOU!"
    Carley: "Lilly, there's no way it was Travis! You think you're some tough bitc-"
    Travis: "Shut up Carley, I can fight my own fucking battles!"
    Carley: "... I think it was Travis."
    Lee: "Yep, definitely."
    Travis: "Hey, wait a minu-"
    *BLAM*

    Yaaaaay.

    Having a Travis character would actually be kind of cool. Make him as annoying as possible and then put a Ben situation on him. Kill him or not. It would be the first time I would actually be tempted on doing the inhumane thing.

    How about having both? Travis being the special forces wannabe that thinks he's super awesome and Ben the guy who perfectly knows that he's not that useful.
