Hi guys! Classify how much you trust each character, and with whom you would leave if it all goes wrong.
The scale is this:
- 10% - I do not trust this person in any way, and if possible do not want to see him/her again.
-
- 50% - I have a certain confidence in this person and I consider him/her important. But I still have one foot behind.
-
- 100 % - I totally trust this person and I will follow him/her to the end of the world if necessary!
My scale (Updated based on the influence of some comments below):
Kenny 80% - The only family I have left in ZA. warrior and protector, and known for a long time. but has a short temper and is broken emotionally and physically.
Luke 70% - A brother and someone who cares about me. Have a good ability to resolve situations in a nonviolent way. but lacks the bravery of a general mode.
Bonnie 67% - Proved to be a reliable person and had attitude enough to rebel against Carver, after discovering that he was not the leader that she imagined to be. has experience with weapons, is gentle and seems to care about Clem.
Jane 59% - An experienced survivor in ZA. at first glance may seem a lonely, cold and distant person. but this can only be a defense procedure in a cruel world without rules. seems to sympathize with Clem and be willing to accept her in her circle of trust.
Mike 54% - A man willing to fight and win the confidence of his new teammates. his past as a possible gang member in the events of EP01 still leaves him in a difficult position in terms of confidence.
Rebecca 57% - A woman in a worrying position, about to give birth to a child, still having to deal with the loss of her husband. and still shaken, disturbed and outraged by recent events.

Nice!
Kenny with the leadership in both scales!
Lol, i dunno i just liked the guy from the start really. Kind've how some players hit it off with Luke and Clem. That's what makes this game unique is that the game goes forward based on everyone's choice of interest.
Yes!!. TT loves to put us in between the cross and the sword.
So I'm curious to know what everyone thinks of each character. ;D
It's pretty clever
What was your season 1 trustometer with the characters?
Who'd you trust the most and who didn't you trust?
Kenny - 95%. I've been friends with him since Season 1 Episode 1 and I never regretted it. I consider him my only friend (I'm speaking by myself, I can call someone a friend if I know him for a long time). He and Clementine need eachother. Even though it's a very tough decision, but I'm on Kenny's side. However, I have a feeling he will be on the edge in next two episodes so I'm a little bit afraid of his mental health.
Luke - 55%. I love this guy, I really do. He had done a lot of things for the group, he's very kind and moral. But as you said, I still have one foot behind. Firstly, I can't trust a person who I know only for a week, especially in the apocalypse. However sweet and caring he is, I'm still afraid that he can do something bad. Secondly, his strange loss in Episode 4 makes me kinda skeptical about it. Maybe he's going to save the day again but at the same time I don't think that Telltale will do the same thing again.
Bonny - 50%. Honestly, I really liked her even in Episode 2. She seems to care about Clementin and the group. I trusted to tell her the plan about Luke's radio and I always appreaciated her help. But the same thing here - we know her only for a very short time. I'll wait her to prove herself again.
Jane - 30%. I find her character interesting. All these lone survivors always have their own charisma and even attractiveness (I think that Jane is very pretty) but after her speech about the group, I started to think that she's not a person you can rely on. She's all about survival and sometimes it's good. But I think that it would be easy for her to abandon the group in hard times. Episode 4 will show us much more Jane so it's hard to tell yet if she's trustworthy or not. I still have a bad feeling about Jane though
Mike - 40%. He seems like a good guy. Especially after the trailer where he kicks some ass. His character will shine in Episode 4 so I don't know how I feel about him right now, when we hardly know anything about him. But he did good things for us in last episode and I'm thinking about him as a person that can be proven as the one who you can rely on. We'll see.
Rebecca - 50%. I didn't really like her in Episode 1 but after a new look of her I realized that she's a vey strong woman who had been through lots of things. Sadly, I think that she will die in the next episode. But I'm sure that if you she wouldn't limited with her pregnancy, she would save people and do a lot of badass stuff.
Yeah, I'm not really a trustful person.
Here. S01 trustometer
Lee 99%
Omid 87%
Christa 89%
Chuck 80%
Molly 79%
Carley 70%
Kenny 59%
Doug 55%
Lilly 48%
Mark 68%
Ben 48%
It also worries me! I hope Kenny doesn't kick it all away!
You have a point there. is still a bit early to talk about Jane. I liked her, but maybe she'll just drop everyone back if things get ugly.
Kenny - 65%. I was in constant opposition to Kenny as Lee in S1, and though, I agree with him a little more as Clementine, I still don't have a particularly strong, personal bond with him. His temper, stubborness, and impulsiveness continue to be major problems for me, and while I feel badly for him, he's clearly deteriorating mentally and emotionally and seems to be heading for a breaking point. I trust him to have my back for now, but I don't see myself siding with him on major decisions.
Luke - 85%. I like Luke's more reasoned, logical approach to situations and feel like he's the character my Clementine has formed a bond with. He's an interesting and constrasting mix of nice, endearing good guy and guy always willing to move on to survive, even if it means some unpleasant, harsh consequences like leaving people behind. He obviously cares about the group, but I think he's also willing to look at its state with a critical eye, and I think he sees Clementine as being a kindred spirit/sister/partner (not in a Cluke way) whatever you want to call it. I don't see him leaving her behind.
Bonnie - 50%. Bonnie is kind-hearted, but sort of weak-willed and allowed herself to be in Carver's thrall for way too long. She grew way more capable and strong in the time between 400 Days and S2 though, will give her that. I was pretty harsh on her in episode 3 and I still have a very wary eye on her, as she is going to have to keep going to earn my true trust. We'll see what happens.
Jane - 45%. She's practical, no-nonsense, and capable. Very valuable to have in the group, but still something of a wildcard. It seems like she respects and has taken a shine to Clementine and wants to help her survive, but how far she'll go for anybody else before she decides to peace out for her own interests remains to be seen. I like her, and I am interested to see where she will go, but it wouldn't surprise me either way if she becomes loyal to us or leaves to make it on her own.
Mike - 55%. Seems like a decent enough guy, can hold his own and is definitely an asset to the group. Not a whole lot to work with on forming an opinion of him yet, other than that I liked that he seems to be pretty grounded, has his head on straight, and thinks things through. Maybe a little headstrong like Kenny? All in all, I can see him being one of the more solid, reliable people in the group and hope he lives long enough for us to get to know him more.
Rebecca - 35%. Wretched in the first episode, but you started to feel more for her situation in the next two. Dealing with a pregnancy in the ZA must be a nightmare and it takes a lot of strength to bear it, especially while on the run from a psycho like Carver. Plus, you could really feel that she loved Alvin and with him gone it just makes everything that much harder. She seems smart, doesn't back down, and I agree with the other person that said she'd be very capable if she weren't held back by the pregnancy. That being said, she's a massive liability physically and we don't know how close she, like Kenny, is to just breaking down under the weight of everything mentally. Don't know how much she has left in her and I don't see her making it much farther.
Kenny - 95% I've known him for years now and he's been good to Clem. A man who is not without his flaws, he can be emotionally very incendiary and sometimes rather tactless. Despite his weaknesses, he is tough, brave, and resilient. He isn't always reliable, but he is always trustworthy. He was a great partner to Lee in Season 1, and he is a great ally to Clementine in Season 2. He more than proved his worth by risking his life for Clem in "In Harm's Way", and for his longstanding companionship I am very grateful.
Luke - 80% For the longest time, I wasn't sure what to think about him. In "All That Remains", I didn't trust him, but appreciated the fact that he at least tried to treat Clem humanely. In "A House Divided" I began warming up to him, but was so happy to see Kenny that I didn't devote much focus to him. But after playing "In Harm's Way" several times, I realize how important he is to the group. He, too, risked his life to help the group escape from Carver, and for this I am also very grateful. He's generally more levelheaded than Kenny, though he isn't quite as decisive or bold. Regardless, a worthwhile companion.
Bonnie - 75% I loved her story in 400 days. Boy, was I pissed when I saw her with her damn machine gun in "A House Divided". And I was pretty upset with her throughout the majority of "In Harms Way". But as that episode went on, I began to trust her more and more. She's clearly risked her life for the good of the group by helping them overthrow Carver, so she definitely means business as far as helping Clem and co. My only real worry with her is her occasional dishonesty, which could ultimately be a detriment to the rest of the group. But I believe that she lied only because she was working for Carver, and now that she's escaped I think she'll be a worthwhile member of the team.
Jane - 45% After some musing, I've come to the conclusion that I like and mostly trust her. Shooting Troy at the end of "in Harm's Way" may have been harsh, but I believe it was for the good of the group. In that particular case. Jane's spontaneity is not unlike Kenny's, except with her it's much more violent. This is worrisome, because although she seems like a sane and logical person, I'm not in approval of her willingness to abandon friends and teammates. The way I play TWD, I try my best to survive while also trying my best to keep my fellow group members alive. Survival, for me, requires a tight-knit team of cooperatives. So while I do think she is smart, I fear her pragmatism might get too "antisocial" for my tastes. She'll need to tread lightly to fully earn my trust.
Mike - 70% Mike has been nothing but a supportive voice and hand to the group. He seems to be a true team player who's main goal is to help out the best that he can. He obviously cares for Clem, as well as the rest of the group, and he has so far been very helpful and easygoing. My only real reservation regarding him is the fact that I haven't known him for very long, and for all I know his laid-back nature may be hiding a deep weakness or flaw. I doubt it, frankly, and I definitely trust him and his abilities. So far, he's proven to be a brave and courteous member of the group.
Rebecca - 65% I could not stand this woman when I first met her, but after her heel-face turn in "A House Divided", I certainly gained some compassion. She went from borderline antagonist to friendly background character faster than I've ever seen. Since she is weakened by her pregnancy, her usefulness is incomparable to the rest of the group. But if and when she recovers from the childbirth, I've no doubt that she'll be a worthwhile teammate. Despite her early animosity, she does seem to be trustworthy, levelheaded, and tactful, and those are three qualities which I very much admire in a person.
I liked your trustometer!
Jane - 15% We know like nothing about her. I don't have a reason to trust her until she gives me a reason to. I mean yeah, she helped us get out of Camp Carver, but we don't know her true intentions.
Bonnie - 20% - She did apologize for her doings, but that just isn't enough. For all I know, she could still be working with Tavia and just wanted to earn Clem's trust.
Rebecca - 45%
Mike - 55%
Luke - 60%
Kenny - 95%
Sorry, can't think of anything to say for the rest of the characters. I don't want to force any text in there either, that would just be filler XD
Kenny - 100%. He may be rash, but that doesn't undermine his trustworthiness. Whenever Kenny wants or does something, he means it. And if you're his friend, he'll always have your back. I'd trust him for everything. I just hope what happened in Carver's camp and what's going to happen to Sarita in EP4 won't break his spirit too much to change anything.
Luke - 95%. I like Luke. He's a good, friendly guy. However, complete trust remains to be seen due to his absences from the group.
Bonnie - 90%. In 400 days, Bonnie came off to me as a good person. In Season 2, I believe she just ended up trusting and following the wrong people. I'd trust her as a friend, but not trust her to make the right decisions.
Rebecca - 100%. She was introduced as being bad, but just as she & Alvin said, it all had to do with her pregnancy. She really does seem like a good, tough person who you could trust.
Mike - 100%. Mike commits to the group and even requested to deliver the radio to Luke in place of Clementine to protect her. And in the trailer for Episode 4, it seems he's going to join Kenny to kill some walkers. He's definitely cool.
Jane - 40%. Jane is mysterious and seems interested in her own goals. And she even likes to shoot people in the crotch out of spite. There needs to be much more character development for her in order to build more trust.
I loved your trustometer. ;D
You have a well constructed opinion about everyone. it's really cool to see the different views of each of you. and at the same time it helps me shape (my already shaped..lol) opinion about each character. hahah
I honestly do not think so. but this is an interesting theory. I'll write it down in my mind
Luke - 99% (I don't go 100%) I trust him the most of the current group, and is the character I'm currently the most attached to and would be sad to see go. He's proven he's trustworthy, can think through situations calmly, and cares a great deal about Clem and the group. I am a bit iffy about his "choosing sides" quote in the trailer, and judging by Gavin teasing that we will see a different side to him, I think this is it, but it currently has no context, so I don't know what to make of it since he could be playing devil's advocate again.
Nick - 95% I trust him a lot, and he's a good guy, but he does have tendencies to be too rash, and with his determinant status I don't think he'll last long if I were to leave with him.
Sarah - 80% She's my Clem's friend, and Clem doesn't leave her friends behind. She's shown to be a nice and sweet kid, and I would be sad to see her die or leave her behind, so no way am I leaving Sarah if I can help it. I'm just a bit worried about her "ceasing to function" and there has been foreshadowing that she might do the unthinkable, so I am scared she might not make it if I did leave with her.
Mike - 70% I haven't seen enough of Mike yet to be sure how to feel about him, but he seems like a nice guy, thinks things through, and knows how to handle some walkers. I like Mike.
Jane - 65% I don't think she's as bad as everyone's making her out to be, she actually does seem like she cares about Clem, and knows how to survive very well. She's probably just had a bad experience with a group in the past, so she doesn't want to experience that again.
Rebecca - 60% I don't have a very big opinion about her so far since she seems to switch personalities a lot, and with the baby on the way does cause some concern. Sometimes I feel like she likes to look out for herself too, like not wanting to surrender to Carver and being so distrustful of Clem at first, but I have forgiven her for those things... you just never know with Rebecca.
Kenny - 50% I trust the guy to protect Clem, and he is a strong survivor, but he never has been one to look out for others that aren't his "family", and seeing the new trailer... I think he's going to be in a very dark place next episode, especially after the loss of Sarita, and I feel like he's going to have a hard time going on now that he's lost so much.
Bonnie - 20% Yeah... I don't really trust her a lot seeing how easily she follows people, and is so quick to jump at whatever opportunity presents itself to her. She's also very naive which could cause issue if they encounter another group. I still haven't really forgiven her for getting the group captured and indirectly getting Walter killed, and don't 100% know what her motives were for helping the group escape since she seemed to really like it at Carver's camp, but I assume she just finally realized what tyrant he was. She has shown she is kind and seems to care about kids too... but I'm not the fondest of Bonnie, so I wouldn't leave with her over anyone else in the group, I just care about them more than Bonnie at this point.
Thanks, this is a really good thread.
I agree with that!
*Kenny-70% i think he'll protect clementine, but has a hot head and doesn't always make good decisions, plus sarita's dying could take a toll on him
*Luke-85% considers his options carefully, is caring, but i still don't know how far his will to survive might change what we all seem to think about him
*Bonnie-72% she seems more sure on what side she's on, and takes responsibility of her mistakes in episode 2. But, as long as carver was around i could hardly tell that she couldn't be forced to go against us again.
*Jane-55% she's skilled and knows what she is doing, but won't get to out of her way for anyone in the group. Plus we know almost nothing about her
*Mike-70% he's nice, is good with walkers, and seems to be under the least emotional distress. Plus he made it clear he was on the group's side
*Rebecca-60% i don't think she'd betray us, but with the baby, alvin dead, she's under a lot of stress. But she does seem to trust us, and i know she wouldn't betray the group
Kenny - varies depending on season 1 save/story line: 100% if Lee backed Kenny at all turns / 0% if Lee fought Kenny at all turns; as Clem would pick up that up from him.
Luke - 65% - he did stand up for me in the first episode, and seems like a good guy; but still haven't been around the new group enough to put complete trust in any of them.
Bonnie - 35% - lied to us about needing food/supplies and then led Carver back (which ended up getting Walt and Alvin killed... I liked them). While she redeemed herself slightly by helping the group escape; she has a long way to go.
Jane - 50% - too early to tell, as she didn't say much/do much in the last episode. Seems to be more of the 'lone survivor' type and could abandon me/the group if things got hairy.
Rebecca - 55% - first impressions are hard to shake, and she rubbed me the wrong way from the start. Combine that with the fact she's pregnant, so that baby is going to be a screaming dinner bell if we're out in the open. She did get better in the last episode, but that just helped her to move up from rock-bottom.
Mike - 50% - like Jane, don't know enough about him. Need to see him in action a little more to determine if he's a true team player, or if it was just to get out of that holding pen.
I have the feeling that we only will see Sarah again at the end of the episode, or in the Final Episode.
Kenny: 20%
I know he means well, and that does count for something. Unfortunately, he is the cause of a lot of problems. That wouldn't be so bad if he would just shut up, step back, and actually listen to what people have to say. His outburst in the truck was completely uncalled for and his response to Carlos making a valid point? "I don't know what you just said, but I know it's bullshit"... No, Kenny. Not stirring the pot when it's filled to the brim means you avoid making a bigger mess. Sometimes, you might just need to get a ladle and remove some of the water first.
Luke: 40%
Another well-meaning person, but his fault lies in his inability to actually do anything. From the moment we met him, he's only killed... 2 walkers? One to save Clem when she was passing out, and another right before the bridge (No, Luke. I said I got the big one). Every other time he has a chance to step up, he has failed. Not a bad person, but I cannot in good conscience, rely on him at all.
Bonnie: 50%
I don't like the way she seemingly latches on to Clementine in Episode 3, but I understand that characters need to interact with the protagonist. That said, she's capable enough. She just seems to make bad life choices she ends up regretting; becoming a junkie, willingly working for Carver. In an actual combat situation, I'm fine with her, but as far as making decisions, I'll pass on her input.
Rebecca: 30%
Her lashing out in Episode 1 was confusing. It could be due to hormones going all crazy what with being pregnant and all. It could be she's just a jerk. We don't know her that well to make the call. I've yet to see her do anything all that helpful, but I've also yet to see her cause any real problems (being mean to Clem in episode 1 was ineffectual at causing any kind of lasting change, so I don't count that). I'm open to her ideas, as she makes good arguments against Kenny's plan in Episode 3. Unfortunately, I don't think we're going to get to see much more of her. Wouldn't that be a twist though? Rebecca and baby surviving the season?
Mike: 80%
We haven't know this guy very long. In the little screen time and dialog he had in Episode 3, I think there's something to him that I like. We know he's a quick thinker (got Reggie's arm off in time to save him), he's willing to do his share of the work (offers to take the radio to Luke), and doesn't take crap from people (stands up to Kenny in the expansion). The trailer makes him look like a brutal zombie slayer, but I have this sinking feeling that those were his best scenes we saw there. I highly doubt much will come from him in the episodes to come. I hope to be wrong though.
Jane: 90%
She's a survivor. That's the whole goal of the series. She's not afraid to get dirty, both literally and figuratively. I know people are afraid that she'll just up and walk away from the group, but I wouldn't blame her. This group consists of a lot of potential problems, not the least of which is a teen who behaves more like a 7 year old and just went missing. Jane is exactly the type of person I would like to follow in this kind of scenario. So why not 100%? Well, because we don't truly know her. There's always that chance that she's rotten to the core, but I don't think that's the case.
Nick: 50%
He causes a lot of problems, but he's quick to fix them. I'm so disappointed with his "role" in episode 3. Determinant or not, he should have done something. Anyway, he's not suited for leadership, but he makes a hell of a grunt. That shot on the bridge was perfect, even if it was a mistake. If he can just teach himself to wait for orders from someone more capable of assessing a situation, then we have an excellent bodyguard.
Christa: 100%
We've spent the most time with her. Even back in season 1, she knew when to put petty disagreements aside for the sake of others (something Kenny cannot do). Piss her off and she will still adamantly refuse to let you go find Clem on your own if you show her the bite. For her, it's not about how she feels about Lee/you, but the fact that Clementine was in danger and Lee might not be capable of saving her on his own in that state. In season 2, she takes care of Clem on her own while pregnant (whereas Rebecca needs everyone else to take care of her). Even when Omid dies due to Clem carelessly leaving her gun on the counter, Christa still takes care of her. It's clear there's some unresolved feelings of anger and hurt, but again, Christa can put that aside to do what's right for Clem.
This undoubtedly is a very pertinent detail! hopefully they will find a safe place.
You're new here. welcome to the community! : D
That's a different and interesting trustometer. and has some very relevant points. you seem like a person more supported in the Rational way than Emotional.
Well, I hope that's not true because I'd really like to know what happened to her sooner rather than later. But I think we'll definitely see her again judging by how we saw them looking for her in the trailer.
Kenny-90% Kenny's been my bro since season one. Plus, he's the only character besides Clem that not only knew Lee, but also the members of season one, and can understand Clem's loss. As a result, he's the closest person considered 'family' to my Clem. And Luke once asked whats the most important thing in the apocalypse-family. Although, he's mentally beat down, and easy to anger, I have complete faith in the fact Kenny won't hurt Clem.He's family to my Clem and I'm sure Kenny feels the same way too, plus, he proved his loyalty taking the walkie-talkie beating,and that's good enough for me.
Sarah-85% she got on my nerves in the beginning, but I really do like Sarah now. She's also Clem's friend, and with Carlos gone she'll depend on Clem a lot more. I have no problem steeping up to the plate and helping her, she's very sweet. Confused,but sweet. Also, I seriously doubt she'll betray Clem mostly because she'll probably turn to Clem now more than any other character. Hopefully, she'll be fine in episode 4.
Nick-65% Although he was a hot head in the beginning of episode 1, he apologized, and turned out to be an all around good guy. Also, he took one for Clem when you got stuck with him in the shed by choosing Nick instead of Pete. He seems a little lost after losing his family,but definitely a loyal individual.
Luke-55% Luke's a good guy, and I like the brother-sister relationship that's developing between Luke and Clem. But, his character seems a little off. He always seems to disappear at the worst time, and back out of situations suddenly,ex, not wanting to leave the prison all of the sudden when he made it imperative that they leave because of the zombie horde at the beginning. He also wanted to leave Kenny, and implied on doing so again in the trailer.Ultimately, he has no problem leaving someone behind if their dead weight, and I don't agree with that,"That's not fair. We stay together," Clem.On the flip side, I doubt he'd do anything to hurt Clem, and he doesn't seem as close to snapping as Kenny.Just some of his behavior makes me wary of him.
Bonnie-55% She's the reason the group got caught in the first place. She also seems to be more of a follower than a leader, and lacks any sort of spine.I could very well see her do something she doesn't agree with just because the boss told her to. That's not a very dependable and reliable person in the apocalypse. But, she did help the group out, and because of that, she gained some of my trust back. She also seems to be kind person and good with Clem.
Rebecca-50% she really made me angry in the first episode.She was cruel to Clem; I understand she was scared,but she handled the situation terribly. After the scene with Clem in episode two she's a lot nicer,but, I'm still unsure.She seemed to have flipped attitudes all of a sudden which makes me specious. Although, I like her a lot better, she's still not one of my favorite characters.
Mike-50% He appears to be a level headed guy. I just haven't seen enough of his character to make a definite answer. I hope to see more from him in episode 4.
Jane-45% Super cool chick. She seems to not only know how to survive in the zombie apocalypse but flourish. When she gave that speech,though, to Clem about leaving the group behind behind it made me realize she wouldn't think twice about leaving when things get rough or leaving someone behind.That includes Clementine.
That was a great analysis!!
You just increased 5% of my Kenny trustometer. thanks!
Awwwww,no, thank you!
Glad I could help that trustometer go up
Oh man, you just reminded me how much I miss Christa. Seriously, I appreciated her so much after having to deal with people like Kenny and Lilly for ages. Finally, we got to meet a rational and compassionate person who wasn't a vindictive, reckless asshole.
She better come back soon
It's kind of strange to me how Clem misses Lee more, even though she spent the most time with Christa out of everyone. 16 months, versus the estimated 4-5 months spent with Lee.
Good trust-o-meter though, just thought I'd make that note.
Clever.
Pizza flavored ice cream WOOOOH
Kenny 90
Luke 15
Bonnie 65
Jane 80
Mike 80
Rebecca 70
Sarah 40
Nick 95
Christa wasn't exactly able to be that comforting presence that Lee was, for a lot of reasons. As said before, there was the notion that Clem's leaving of the gun on the counter might have played a role in Omid's death that could have caused some tension, that obviously remains up until the two are separated. They both care about eachother, but not in the same way that Lee was able to bond with Clementine because there was too much at stake and too much between them.
In my opinion this is the more accurate scale.. However I wouldn't be keen with Kenny considering Sarita's current position. I feel like he's going to lose it after what goes down in EP204 honestly. For me, he'd been at about 80%-85%.
I don't think Sarita is a big off a loss as him losing his wife and son in season 1. It's going to hurt him but i think he can be trusted. He might have some clouded decisions like episode 4 of season 1, but if you side with him then he is always trustworthy.
