Similarities in characters affecting decisions?

Does anyone think that the 400 days characters who looked similar to season 1 characters subliminally influenced your decision at all?

For example, Roman looks and sounds like Andy St John, and I think this makes it harder to take his side in Shel's story.

Justin reminded me of Ben, and Eddie of Omid. And it may have added to thinking Justin would be unreliable.

Anyone else think this or am I crazy?

    Lol, I agree. Justin sounds like a hardass cocky version of Ben, which is why I chose Danny. Which sucks, cuz then Vince doesn't come :(

    Yes, it made it hard to like Roman because he looked like Andy if he had gotten a clean shave over his whole head. I liked Eddie even more because he reminded so much of Omid, and he's just as funny, if not funnier. I hope Eddie and Omid meet sometime in Season 2.

    Well the reason why Justin sounds like Ben is because he is voiced by Trevor Hoffman, the voice of Ben, that is why I saved him, well it was a minor reason but a reason none the less.

    Yeah, I knew he was the same voice actor. He did a very good job of making his voice sound deeper, tougher and more care-free than Bens skitterish voice.

    The voice of Roman is also Andy St. John. Which is funny cuz they look so much alike

    Really, I always thought he sound familiar... I honestly thought Ben could only voice Ben, it was his only voice over roll, I still think his gaming resume is a bit odd, "what have you done in your voice actor career." "I played a teenager who got people killed and then died a terrible death, and I played a criminal who stole millions through a pyramid scheme."

    Yeah, sometimes when his voice was higher in some sentences, I could tell it was Ben, but other than that he made his voice sound calmer and more collected than Bens always nervous voice.

    I know Ben always sounded like he was going to piss himself, and if you took him in Episode 5 he does, when the walker falls during the elevator clime.

    Ya Ben, why did you have to fall to your death and possible take Kenny with you.

    Ben is just one of those guys who never really caught a break. I'm trying to think if he did anything right really..... he.... um... well he told us about "the truth of the dead".... I guess..:p

    Which is why if they make it to Kenny only lives if you drop Ben in Episode 4 then it's only going to hurt that much more, no one deserves to die like that, unless your name is Lilly then get down that clock tower before I push you.
