WELLINGTON Good or bad?

ShaneWalshShaneWalsh
edited May 2014 in The Walking Dead
This is supposed to be some sort of big camp for survivors and what we have learned so far is that it is where Clem and Christa were wanting to go and Kenny says that it is up North near Michigan where there is fresh water and the walkers are slow in the winter as it's so cold.

So do you think Wellington is a sanctuary that could mean the end of the game as they would of finally got somewhere safe enough or do you think that it is really another bad place?

I'd say it's most likely to be a good place and it is probably the city we can see in the background of the slide image for episode 5, I think that the group will meet up in episode 4 and decide to head to Wellington but they will most likely run into trouble on the way there, then maybe at the end of episode 5 that's when they finally make it.

Please share your thoughts. :)

    Everything seems safe. Children playing in yards. Fresh food cooking on grills.

    Inb4 Lilly is leader

    The end

    I don't know, isn't there a rumor that military are up in Michigan? I don't think Michigan is truly safe, but it's worth to hope.

    If a writer's job is partly to subvert expectations, Telltale would be wise to not simply make Wellington overrun with walkers or run by a psychopath or the like. Anyone familiar with this genre is almost certainly expecting something like that. Having every hope dashed and every possible refuge proven to be false gets predictable after awhile.

    A possibility might be that season 2 ends with Wellington on the horizon, but without actually seeing inside it. Neither hope destroyed or hope fulfilled, but simply hope kept alive.

    Then, if we get a season 3, we can start out with Clem having lived there for awhile.

    Maybe they get there and have to protect it, it may not be the end of the game but I think it would be a good way to end Clementine as the playable character without having to kill her off. But I can't see where they'd go with the story without Clementine, starting a new one with new characters would be hard to adjust too unless they use previous characters like playing as Lily or even Kenny if he's got more to offer.

    I was on a thread a few months ago and a couple people started talking about what if remnants of military still chilled there.

    I'm really surprised that nobody ever thought about how dangerous that Wellington COULD be. Matthew said every day one group goes to Wellington. What if that place is already destroyed? And there's a lot of people there. Can you promise me that we will not see any other power maniac douchebags like Crawford Oberson and Carver? If Telltale is gonna give me a ''We shouldn't go to Wellington.'' I will automaticlly choose that option.

    Well there could be military anywhere, I think it would be interesting as the military are usually depicted a rather bad in apocalypses and there has been no real army characters in the game so far.

    Yeah, that's a pretty cool theory, what's left of the military killing off survivors in order to contain the infection. Reminds me of Left For Dead.

    Just like Molly said "The dead always win" so I won't get my hopes up.

    from the slide of episode 5 it gives me the impression the cold will kill off walkers,there was talk way back last year on here from a russian member (sorry i forgot ur name) that it would be interesting if season 2 was set in winter,very cool idea,ive also heard the rumours of a military fort in some form.

    Wellington isn't a city.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wellington_Township,_Michigan

    As of 2010 the population density was 6 people per square mile. Compare that to Detroit at 5,144 people per square mile or Savannah with 1,321 people per square mile.

    But the zombies up there are slow in the winter apparently, but then what about the summer.

    That's why it's called a rumor. It's probably not true, but it's a cool theory.

    Sounds like a pretty empty place.

    They did say that the snow would slow them.But I meant that eventually someone would fuck up and turn it into a death field.

    Is Wellington always snowy even in the summer?I think it's part of Canada.

    ...or I could be wrong.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wellington,_Ohio

    I forgot Kenny said up NEAR Michigan, not up IN Michigan. Turns out there's a Wellington in Ohio near the Michigan border, considerably farther south than Wellington Township.

    If its Wellington, Ohio they're all discussing, the population is currently 4,802. So not a city, but a village, which could also be risky.

    It'd be nice if Wellington is a genuine community for a change, since most often in all zombie apocalypse universes there's always a catch (psychopaths running the place, overrun by the time you get there, etc.) and adding Wellington to the list would be predictable.

    The Last of Us is probably the only game I know that had a stable community somewhere that didn't get over-run or corrupted.

    Communities never work. See Woodbury, Crawford, Prison, Carver's camp. I've read a tweet from a Telltale employee saying that he has faith that nick breckon will make him feel horrible with the finale, so it won't be a happy ending.
  • AbstractWolfAbstractWolf
    I think it's obvious it's not going to be a sanctuary. Makes me think about Terminus .... and I would hate Telltale to end the game there.... they can't get rid of Clementine if they make a Season Three
  • DOYOUREMEMBERMEDOYOUREMEMBERME
    let me tell u the plot of wellington ,,,,, all in the group hope wellington is a paradise for now in zombie apocalypse as kenny mentioned it in e2 but what they observe on going to wellington is hell and a pretty fucked up place hence the title of episode comes"no going back",,,,, there aint any place to go back
  • CrazyGeorgeCrazyGeorge Banned
    I don't expect happiness in this game. I expect a brutal Sarah Slap right across the face. It would be like the greatest gotcha if they gave us that happy ending.

    The cabin seemed safe, fresh brookie everyday wouldn't that be nice......no but seriously at this point idk, maybe after ep.4 we will have more info about Wellington.
  • jamex1223jamex1223
    I think that's what I think might be the end of the season. me from reading the comics and watching the show theres no safe place. I think that lee told her to keep moving, not to get hold up in on place. maybe theres like a lil camp that MIGHT be nice but it aint going to last. maybe what they find is a place that was suppose to hold up people with some military presence but it fell cuz it wasn't big and well protected. IDK but I do think that that episode will be in or at least something with wellington
  • Order 66Order 66
    We get there and it could be a trap by bandits or everyone at wellington is dead/overun
  • GoneButLivedOnGoneButLivedOn
    I imagine Wellington as a Carver Camp, but it's more democratic. I want Clem's group to go there and take over.
  • Kenny_Is_AliveKenny_Is_Alive
    I think its good because we had enought bad comunities already.

    I can't think what they could do to make it a bad place that has not already been done in TWD.

    Cannibals = St Johns and Terminus
    Slavery = Carver's camp
    Overun = Crawford

    As of the latest issue of the comic Alexandria has been safe for about 2 years.
  • EmperorZornEmperorZorn
    I think Christa already arrived in Wellington.
  • The_Walking_DannyThe_Walking_Danny
    I don't think it's gonna be a good place, in most of zombie movies and videogames i saw when they talk about a safe place and everybody starts to go there, it means that all of them will fall in trap. Maybe it's gonna be a slavery camp or they use survivors like test subjects for some sort of experiments or i don't know. All we know is that a LOT of people is going there (like Matthew said "i see at least a group a day move through here") so that could mean the group will encounter a lot of people in danger, maybe we will meet up with Christa in Episode 5 at Wellington and they'll kill her off or maybe we'll see her already dead.
  • drunkendramaqueendrunkendramaqueen
    I think Wellington is just as fallible as any other stronghold because for the relentless lesson The Walking Dead teaches us: it's the living that pose more danger than the undead. The psychological war of survival contributes to the problem of the undead. More people means more politicking and scrambling for equal share.

    wellington: conflict w/ another camp..... ????
