Who do you think we'll play as in Season 2 now Lee has gone?

    Random male, because thats the easiest choice for telltale.
  • edited February 2013
    Random male/female (probably male) is the most obvious choice. If we have met the character, go ahead and write them off as they already have established personalities.

    A Clementine story is possible but it would be easier to start over in a completely new area with new characters

    Probably a female because it would be interesting for once

    Whoever it is has to have a good story which makes you unsure about the character but most of all they have to be human

    Lee was so great because he wasn't perfect, he wasn't even especially good but he was a person

    Who I hope we'll play as: Christa

    Who we'll probably play as: Random male character on the hill

    I'm surprised at how many people are choosing Clementine. Not only would that not make sense (her personality is very, VERY established), it would be terrible from a gameplay perspective, and it would effectively void Lee's teachings from the first season. The best possible outcome would be a new, imperfect character with a past and personality that is open to interpretation. This character could coexist in a group with Clementine, having her as an important character without the awkwardness of controlling her and ignoring all that has been established about her in the first season.

    we could wind up playing as lee's wife. would make for an interesting story plot.

    Random male. How is it possible to play for someone who is whose character we already know, for example how can we playing , for example, as Omid and be severe?
  • edited February 2013
    Don't think we'll be playing as Clementine or anybody we already know, so a random stranger(male) seems more probable.
  • edited February 2013
    I dunno, can be anyone, male or female, but I'm sure it's someone we don't know.

    Who I hope that we'll play as (though it probably won't happen): Clem's adult son or daughter, 30-40 years in the future.

    It'd give Clem fans some degree of closure, without running the risk that the next season ends up being a weak rehash of this one.

    However, it would also require that the game spends some time on topics that it wouldn't normally have to deal with (e.g. "How many years before a walker just falls over and stays dead?"), so I see this as a fairly remote possibility. Most likely, it'll be some random survivor.

    Woah, 40 years? All the walkers have starved, the world is abandoned and we have a chance of meeting only one VERY paranoid crazy guy that will shoot us on sight.
    Sounds good to me.

    Random male seems most likely. Clementine should make her own decisions based on what we've taught her, and i have a feeling Omid and Christa will show up, alive or dead(or undead).

    Going several years into the future is an intriguing idea, but seems unlikely. As far as I'm aware the game is still based on the comics, and it's only about 2(?) years into the apocalypse in the comics, so that's probably as far as they would go.

    I'm guessing season 2 will start with totally new characters and some of the characters and story of season 1 will be slowly integrated into the new season.
  • edited February 2013
    It's either Clementine or her new guardian.
  • edited February 2013
    well whoever we play as it will be fun i just hope we find out what happens to Clem i would hate it if they just let that hanging

    I just had a crazy idea. It might sound too radical for S2, but hear me out:

    Anyone else here ever seen Romero's DAY OF THE DEAD? One of the principal characters is a semi-sentient zombie called Bub. Would it be possible to actually have a walker as a PC?

    Let's say the military had managed to weather the zombie outbreak after all, and were conducting neurological experiments inside a high-security bunker to see if zombies can actually be rendered docile, since they'll only keep coming as long as people keep dying.

    Depending on your actions in the last game, the PC could be an entirely new zombie (if Lee was shot by Clem), or, if you imported a save where you had Clementine leave Lee behind, you could take control of Lee again. The military would have captured either the new walker PC or Lee at random and proceeded with a complex type of brain surgery to restore the walker/Lee to a state of dim cognizance.

    Now, initially the fact of whether you're a new walker or Lee has minimal impact when the game first starts out, since neither would have any memory of their previous existence. But as the story advances, you experience occasional "flashes" of your human life. In Lee's case, we'd see the most memorable moments from the first game, i.e. killing Larry in the locker, Kenny weeping over Duck's body, saying goodbye to Clem, etc. But if you were playing as the new PC walker, you'd see memories of a different life that you gradually piece together as you complete each episode.

    I know this isn't taking into account other creative challenges of such a scenario, like Lee's missing arm, or that the player probably wouldn't enjoy shuffling from one location to another throughout the course of the game, but I'm just describing the bare outline.

    What do you guys think? A little too extreme for S2?

    For crying out loud, now you're threatening me?

    I'm not making creative demands of Telltale here, I'm just offering an idea. That's it. How did you make the connection from that to being a troll?
  • edited February 2013
    Interesting idea, but i highly doubt it will happen, for now at least. Telltale has already joked about a playable zombie character, and later mentioned that it was sarcastic. Thus, i think that sort of thing isn't on their priority list in the near future. Perhaps as some sort of DLC episode, bonus content kinda thing, or season 3? One never knows.

    If I'd known it would cause Riadon to have a conniption fit, I wouldn't have posted it in the first place.

    I prefer to think of you as a troll because no one could seriously believe that the your idea was feasible in the slightest. It is just ridiculous.

    And how did I threaten you :rolleyes:

    Don't know Molly isn't in the poll, a lot of people would like her as a new PC.

    As for me all new PC's that I can think off are not good enough. Clem wouldn't be able to affect group's decisions, Omid has set personality and just wouldn't be a good PC, Lilly is one of the most hated characters in the game after ep 3, random new character wouldn't be able to develop any relationship with Clem or at least it would take a long time.

    The only options out of known characters are Christa and Molly.

    Man, I wish Lee was still alive.

    I seriously doubt we'll play as someone that we've already seen

    That's actually a really cool idea
  • edited February 2013
    Glenn would be pretty fun to play as
  • edited February 2013
    A woman probably. Maybe Christa and/or Omid.
  • edited February 2013
    Christa's kid would be cool...
    Christa and Omid would already be dead, and he/she somehow meets Clementine on the way.
  • edited February 2013
    Random Male gets my vote. I can't even bother to think that we'll play as Clementine. Yes. She's a great character, Yet how will it be playing as a kid. It would suck tremendously.
    Yay for random male!
  • edited February 2013
    We won't be playing as someone that they have established already. That wouldn't make any sense. Random Male is the likeliest looking at their target audience. If we're really lucky, maybe you can pick your gender at the beginning.

    It's a stupid idea. This isn't Shaun of the Dead, it is a serious game about a serious subject matter. Anyone who genuinely wants the series to revolve around a "sentient" rotting corpse needs their head examined.

    Anyone who is calling someone they've never even met mentally unsound for an idea they had is either a total asshat, or "needs their head examined."

    La verdad quien se quede debe ser alguien que vea más de lo que tiene enfrente, todos tienen experiencia algunos más que otros, eso debe interesar un líder es alguien que puede lograr mantener un equipo unido, conoce y aprovecha las oportunidades, en el juego se baso quien decía que o votar, un grupo sin voz, es muy malo, ejemplo.
    Vives en la ciudad con familia y amigos, de repente tienes que salir que te llevas, eso es lógico, lo cual no hicieron, recordar que de varios se logra y de uno se forjan muchos.
