Suggestion for future Walking Dead games.
Right. Telltale have got it bang on with a lot of moments, you make a decision and it happens. Sometimes with a side effect or doesn't go to plan. It affects me in many emotions and it is genius.
When I played 400 Days today, I couldn't help but think on some situatiosn..'Actually, fucking do it!' Or 'Gah, I know the npc character is like that but...still.gah.'
My suggestion is to allow the player to create their own character, name, look in future games. Throw a ton of paths at this character, but allow them to choose their decisions and perhaps even affect how well they do those decisions depending on the character creation screen. Yes, I have got an RPG called Fallout 1/2 on the brain. It let me make terrible mistakes, it let me make brilliant decisions.
Am I missing the point of the Walking Dead game? Maybe and I accept that..but sometimes, I really want a decision I make, to be based on ME. Not the NPC, who may be a blubbering twit. I am the death metal vest wearing, weight lifting muscle head with a lack of wit or charm. I would like to see how that person copes. Don't get me wrong, I love the game and I can't wait for the next full game. But I'd really like to see ourselves thrown into the world, instead of the npcs we sometimes barely know.
