I don't care about most of the characters in season 2.
Serioulsly, most of the characters, I care about are dead. The people I give a shit about, who are alive are:
Clem
Nick
Luke
Kenny
If any of the other characters died I wouldn't really care about it. Unlike in Season 1, where I cared about most people in the group. I know I am getting a shit ton of dislikes. I am just being brutally honest.

Nick- A kid just trying to do his best after the death of his uncle.
Alvin- A man who makes sure that his wife is healthy enough while being pregnant and was willing to die if it meant saving Carlos.
Carlos- A caring father who just wants to see his daughter make it out of this whole situation. Was willing to die at the hands of Carver if it meant not giving out Rebecca's location.
Sarah- BFF.
Luke- The only one who Clem told the story about Lee, he's quick to have a brother-sister relationship with Clem.
I don't know about you, but after episode 2, I liked every single one from the cabin group. I admit, I'm a bit scared to play episode 3, knowing that almost half of the group will probably die.
I'm confused. To give a shit on someone means hate them. Or is it wrong?
Sorry, my last english lesson was 12 years ago
I think the 400 Days characters coming in will help.
It was more like, "Hmm...how do we write Omid again? Eh, let's just kill him off in the first five minutes of the episode. Hmm...how do we write Christa again? Eh, let's just make her run off in the first ten minutes of the episode."
And to a lesser extent, also affected Clem as well. "Hmm...how do we write Clem again? Eh, let's just do a time-skip so that players can mold her character in any way they want."
I'm thankful that the writing improved a little in E2.
Plus, you play as a newcomer (as Lee, you were mostly the leader). Let's just wait for Episode 3. I strongly believe (and hope) that our opinions will change.
I have come to the conclusion that it isn't that I don't feel sympathy towards most members of the group; it's just that, like the OP states I don't **care** about them as much.
> " Rebecca- A woman willing to own up to her shortcomings. Turns out she's just stricken between the possibility that her baby might be Carver's as well as wondering whether she can actually raise a child."
If only the attitude shift was done more naturally... I still find it quite jarring. Her attitude the baby scene should have changed based on how Clem responded to her back in Ep1.
> " Nick- A kid just trying to do his best after the death of his uncle."
And about the most fleshed out member of the cabin group, as of now. I like that kid. He kind of fucks up on a constant basis, but he's a good boy.
> " Alvin- A man who makes sure that his wife is healthy enough while being pregnant and was willing to die if it meant saving Carlos."
No comments on Alvin. I'm fairly neutral when it comes to him. It did kind of bother me that his attitude towards Clem didn't change either based on how (if?) you handled him back in *All That Remains*.
> " Carlos- A caring father who just wants to see his daughter make it out of this whole situation. Was willing to die at the hands of Carver if it meant not giving out Rebecca's location."
I somewhat see myself in Carlos, which makes misrepresentation all the more upsetting. :P He has made some morally questionable decisions, some of which I myself would have made, but I think his character is, as I said, somewhat misrepresented. Also, wasted potential as of now, which leads me to...
> " Sarah- BFF."
Yeah, in theory, but nothing else two episodes in. Her big character moments were at the beginning of *A House Divided* and she is forgotten about until she is forced to see her father get beat down. The Carlos-Sarah-Clementine dynamic was hinted at in the premiere, and I was looking forward to it. From the promo art, and just a hunch, however, I predict this episode will explore that more. Still, a waste of potential in the first half of the season, to me.
> "Luke- The only one who Clem told the story about Lee, he's quick to have a brother-sister relationship with Clem."
People seem to either hate or love this particular character, and Cluke is not helping his reputation. I like him, however. It is nice for Clem to have someone like him that treats her like a more or less capable member of the group and has (from what we can tell for now) a friend, a brotherly figure. They just have not really showed us something substantial about him, like say, Nick. People complain about seeing only what they consider to be his "too perfect" side. I think he has flaws, and that's a more interesting side to him, we're just not seeing it yet.
And what they all are missing, IMHO, is **TIME**, but I guess this is the new standard, and that it works alright, I guess.
Honorable mention to one of my instant favorites and a man that deserved a better fate and more screentime: Peter Joseph Randall.
I also care about Sarah and Sarita and i cared alot about uncle Pete, but unfortunatelly he didn't make it. RIP uncle Pete!
But who else was there? Ben: I liked him and felt sorry for him, but the writing seemed to force me to be awful to him, or at the very best not understanding. I loved Duck, but he wasn't exactly high up on the cast list. Christa and Omid, I liked them fine but idk, I didn't really connect with them fully. Maybe because it was essentially the Lee-and-Clementine show. Everyone else that appeared did so briefly and not in a way that was particularly memorable to me (or else I straight-up disliked them, like Lily and her dad).
Of course, I don't know much about the S2 cast either, but I already feel a lot closer to them than I did the S1 characters (minus Lee/Clementine). I'll always sit with Luke over Kenny :P
