Story loop holes, lost potential, and slide confusions. ~spoilers~

Hi guys I just joined this site yesterday, read about it on another forum I was in and decided to join. Whatever you guys do, please don't start any flame wars or anything like that since I hardly know any of you and just want to share my thoughts on a few things..

1. During episode 3, the group is trying to escape out of the camp but exactly for what? Instead of planning to escape, why not plan to over throw carver and stay in that camp? I'm pretty sure everybody hates carver and would be ok with a new leader. (excluding troy and tavia, which would be doing the peasant work) Like the group is all talks on escaping but they don't even have a full, well thought plan. Example is where exactly are they going? And what if that place isn't safe or anything? What about rebecca? Food? Safety? Weapons? Etc..

2.Also, why when they're trying to escape they see Carver's group shooting the zombies. Why not just back out and go back and wait until they finish? That was very stupid of them all to go when they have a HIGH chance of getting shot and hurt, and we all know how that ended. 1 dead, 1 wounded, well basically 1 dead and 2 potentially dead. (Or whoever else is missing as well). I also think one who ended up getting lost will end up getting bit like that one girl from the show. But I think sarah is okay overall.

3.This episode has soooooooooooooooo much potential. Possibly a 4 hour episode! It could've brought back hubs and us getting to know 400 days characters, also a ton of exploring in the big store thingy. Telltale i'm pretty sure let us all down with that, but the episode was great over all.

And finally, don't you guys think that episode 4's slide would've fit perfectly with episode 3? Episode 3's slide was literally miss leading and caught everybody off guard. We all thought we were going to do some delivering stuffz xP And guys I know that there is achievements listed in the wiki but please refrain from posting any names or info of it on here to potentially spoil episode 4. If you do say, please please please put a spoiler tag on it. Thank you very much for reading!

    1. Even if they did overthrow Carver the herd of walkers would've destroyed the Howe's.

    2. I admit, that was kinda dumb of the group. I would've went around the building where the guards weren't firing up on the walkers.

    3. No episode of TWD has been 4 hours :P And about the 400 Days characters, all of them that aren't Bonnie are just random guards, they don't know Clem and they don't want to know Clem.

    Also, welcome to the forum!

    I never said that, I said that this episode could've been a possible 4 hours long. And I understand that 90% of the 400 days characters didn't get a role, just saying of what could've been. Too bad telltale now focuses on 12 year old gamers who need to sleep on time and only have an hour of gameplay.

    Aren't you edgy, saying Telltale caters to 12 year olds?

    I would respect you a lot more if you had stuck with your original argument, instead of resorting to insulting Telltale.

    Well a staff said themselves that they now focus on 1 hour gameplay for certain audiences. So yes, I'm "edgy".

    1. I dont think everybody would be happy with another leader, or would agree with overthrowing carver. In fact i think only bonnie, from who we know so far, would do that.
    2. Agreed
    3. Totally Agreed. I can just imagine how it is like talking to them and telling everybody about what happened, who we are, asking about how they know each other etc.
    4. Doesnt really bother me

    This new audience could be people who don't have time to play video games for two hours. Also, source?

    1. I thought they had a plan. "Punch first sonuvabitch I see, grab his gun and use it to shoot the second sonuvabitch I see". It's not enough for you? Well, you are just too fucking demanding.

    2.Yeah that was stupid. The writers fucked up. Again.

    3. Well, I wouldn't say so, because I've discovered some sort of proportion in Telltale's TWD:

    1 hour of episode = one month waiting
    For two hours episode we had to wait two months, I couldn't withstand waiting four months just to play two hours longer.

    I think ttg should rename their game to "The Waiting Dead".

    1. Reggie seemed kind of brainwashed. I assume some of the guards were too. Plus, as others have said, the herd would have done some damage. Also, Luke says that they looted everywhere in the area, and Tavia says they were running of supplies, most likely wood as she mentioned the expansion, which had a wall of wood.
    2.Yeah, that was pretty stupid of them.
    3.Yes. That was a serious waste of potential.
    4.Doesn't really affect me too much, but yeah, they do seem like it would be better the other way around. With some changes to each of them of course, like removing Eddie from the episode 4 slide and removing the prison bars from the episode 3 slide.

    Also i dont know if you have ever watched game of thrones far into season3 - 4. But if you have !Got spoilers ahead! Try to think about what ramsay snow did to theon greyjoy. I think there is also some brainwashing thing like this going on with carver and his community, but not in such a scale.

    everything fine except 1 and 4 ,,, whatever carver would have been alive or died ,,,the herd of lurkers from south would have marched in the howes and would have made it a fucking graveyard and
    4) Amid the ruins may be a episode of learning new skills as in leaked achievements 2 ,,, so u may have to apply colour to your face and blend with people ,,,thats what clem is doing
  • DOYOUREMEMBERMEDOYOUREMEMBERME
    and 2) it would have been good if CARLOS or LUKE or KENNY would have said to the group lets go back as soon as the firing started and all of a sudden CARLOS is hit and SARAH draws attention of walkers

    Even if they took it, it would not matter people like troy would have most likely still killed most of them. They new that it was not safe to stay there you already saw the walkers break through once. You saw how many were outside, they would have been lucky to last a few more days there at best before they were totally over run IMO of cause.

    1. Edit: Nevermind, I misread this part. I actually agree somewhat. In which case, Luke's idea would've been the better way to go about things. It would've given them time to suss out any dissenters and work on staging a coup. On the flip side of that they could potentially get ratted out and killed if there are any more people as delusional as Bonnie was.

    2. You're forgetting the loudspeakers thus the reason they needed to be able to get through the herd undetected. Initially there weren't any gunman on that side of the building but since the herd moved differently than anticipated Tavia and the others came over.

    1. The whole camp was brainwashed, we only saw a couple of people from Carver's group what if there was like 20 others we didn't see. I'm sure they wouldn't have been comfortable with Clem and co. overthrowing Carver.
    2. Maybe they could have taken a different route, but as Kenny said "I thought they were coming from the south" so I'm assuming that the herd was coming from all directions, sometimes in the heat of the moment there are no choices.
    3. I agree the presence of the 400days characters was rather vague, maybe TT has plans for them in future episodes.

    And one more thing Carlos could have walked behind Sarah or beside her would have been much safer, instead he was making unnecessary noise talking to Clem to watch over Sarah.

    The herd wouldn't be a problem if Carver didnt use the PA system every time he wanted to sound smart with those speeches or if there weren't idiots standing on the roofs all the time yelling down at the prisoners.
