Season 2 Episode 4 - Minor Glitch (major spoilers)

SuperbowserXSuperbowserX
in The Walking Dead

Note the first and second photo attached. After beating the ending scene, I (I'm trying to document all this) snapped a photo of the "Choices" screen for episode 4 (the screen immediately before the credits role). When I was re-checking all my choices immediately after beating the episode, I noticed that the choice regarding whether or not you left Sarah at the trailer park was gone. Also note the color change to the choices screen in the main menu.

So what's the deal? Did the game change it's mind regarding whether or not that was an important choice? Or is this just a glitch? Why doesn't the "My Choices" screen show that first choice? Even though I personally don't think it'll prove itself important seeing as to how Sarah's dead, this is a bit annoying...

As-writing update: I double checked the stats screen again, and as you can see in the third attached photo, that first choice for episode 4 (whether or not Sarah is abandoned) now takes the place for the 5th choice of episode 3 (so that 5th choice regarding whether or not you cut off Sarita's arm is gone).

And yes; I rebooted the game, I even replayed the final chapter again (oh that long credits scene tho) and I still have the same deal. Things show up just fine after the episode, but the first choice becomes episode 3's last choice.

Perhaps this can be fixed? Is anyone else having this trouble? To check this, boot up the game (please mention your system in your reply), check the "My Choices" option, and see if all 5 choices for Episode 4 are there. If not, check if the 1st choice for episode 4 is now the 5th choice for episode 3.

I experienced this glitch on a Windows 8 PC.

    I'm guessing you've played it since you ventured into spoiler territory

    Can you check if you have the glitch yourself

    I can forgive this if it is a simple non-disruptive graphics glitch, I just hope that this isn't a problem when it comes time to import your save for episode 5....

    Bump / Notice - After wrapping up my 1-4 replay with different choices (both this and the original save will be prepared for episode 5), I noticed that this minor inconvenience was fixed. All 5 choices (in all 4 episodes) I deliberately made differently, and somehow this fixed the stats screen. The episode 3 and 4 stats pages were proper. After encountering this fixed "My Choices" screen, I changed to my original save file and found that the glitchy screen was still there. And since I know that this isn't the game having a random post-ending error (as I had replayed episode 4's final chapter only to come across the same problem in the past), that implies, really...

    That the game gave me this minor problem as revenge for me making a choice it didn't approve of? No I'm jk of course lol. Still this is all a bit odd.

    Again, I just hope that this doesn't prove a problem when starting up episode 5.
