Toad will remember that
I have a sinking feeling we've seen the last of Toad, since he's either going to the Farm or getting a glamour as of Episode 4.
The reason this gives me a sinking feeling is that I expected all of those 'Toad will remember that' moments and 'TJ will remember that' moments to pay off somehow. I expected the trust earned by going to his apartment first instead of Lawrence's, or the trust lost by doing the opposite, would play a role in Toad either helping you or not helping you later on down the line. I expected our choice to either rough him up or simply point out the flaws in his story would play a role in whether he helps you, as well. Sort of like how Kenny would either help you or not help you depending on how you treated him and his family in TWD.
Instead, I'm getting the increasing sense that all of the 'so-and-so will remember that' is mostly for decoration now.
I could be wrong and Episode 5 will pleasantly surprise me, with Toad finally having a chance to respond to how you treated him over the course of the series. I hope I am. Yet the recent direction Telltale has been going hasn't given me a lot of cause for optimism.

the whole remembering thing is pointless for the most part. if anything, it feels more like where they set up flag points for potential next time/previously scenes rather than things that have any actual impact. i am curious if we'll actually get to see a glamoured toad and TJ, if we gave him money. perhaps seein glamoured toad will help with the case. i still say the cheap glamours are usin the same guy as a base, which is why so many people look the same... i'm equally curious just how the whole money thing pans out. i have yet to play a run through grabbin all the cash i can, and goin to the tweedles' office first to see if the massive wad of seemingly uncounted cash can be given to help with beast and beauty's debt, rather than promising or not to deal wiith the crooked man. would be nice if you could do somethin like that, but i dont think you can collect that much by then. doesn't look like payin or not for things really affects anything, but the "loan" from the interrogation, payin nerissa, paying for your drink, paying faith, and paying toad are all points that could be nice to see something happen.
Same with Kenny, I personally wouldn't be too broken up if Toad fucks off to a place far away, the jerk.
toad is a hostile selfish bastard, would send him to farm 100 times. Colin though is a friend AND YEA MY RULES BENDS HERE
Toad is hilarious, he cracks me up. I definitely hope we haven't seen the last of him.
(?) Players will remember that
Mr Toad: I can't be mad on the players but everytime they come everything is getting more fucked up
I helped him, but...
The thing that kind of crushes me emotionally is the way he left. He was happy. But... He goes to the farm anyway. In the comics, he goes to the farm. TJ with him. And it's kinda sad. He was so happy.
I sent Colin to the farm too, but I wasn't happy about it. Toad though... seriously the only characters I like less than him are the Tweedles and Bluebeard. Jack too actually, but that's based on things from the comics.
Edit: I realize I put the likes of Crane and George above Toad, but I them to be interesting bad guys rather than annoying characters.
That's why I always send him to the farm: no point giving him false hope and putting myself in shit in the process by working against the law.
Crane doesn't even measure up to the bad guy standard. He wasn't malicious, just pathetic.
I guess not... But i wanted him to know i tried. It's better than just giving up.
TJ will be happier on the farm, surrounded by other fables his own age instead of being isolated in a tiny apartment with his irritable, overstressed, foul-mouthed father and sent to school with kids he has nothing in common with. Take heart from that.
The only reason Toad doesn't want to go to the farm is because he thinks he's better than all the other animal fables, and the only reason he's having trouble with Bigby is because he cheaps out on his glamour to save money. If I hadn't owed him compensation for breaking the wall and his car, I would have sent him up to the farm without a second thought.
I'm not sure that's true when failure is inevitable.
