What did Telltale not do already?
Devs from TellTale stated they try to make everything fresh and new and not repetitive to other episodes/season. So I'm going to list things from my head of what's been accomplished already and what remains to be used for Season 3.
Season 1
- Kidnapping scenario
- Cannibals
- Train
- Kill main character of story
- Okay let's leave this for some other time while I gather more information
Season 2
- Taken prisoners of a camp
- Pizza/Ice Cream
- Drowning
- Getting shot (suggestive/but it would be repetitive as once is already enough)
- Intro Deaths (Omid)
- Dog attack incident
- Dream Sequence
- Pregnancy/Birth
- Baby
- Betrayal (On Bonnie/Mike levels. Pulling another one like that would go too easily noticed)
- Misleads
For the reason I put misleads there are solely for the fact that we are now too cautious and uncaring that we expect the unexpected. How we always planned there would be a [This or That] majorly mislead us into the actual scenario. We know that you cannot trust everyone more than ever after 400 Days with Tavia's request and Kenny/Luke when it was really Kenny/Jane. This type of misleading has never gotten into S1 as far as I'm concerned. We could never speculate who was behind the radio or who was really doing what as it all came to us unexpected without suspicion. But unless you're very into the heat of the moment, it is now quite difficult for Telltale to try to lead us in the wrong directions again.
Anything I've missed out on? Any new suggestions on different scenarios to occur in Season 3? We already know that Wellington is going to be packed with people and something is gonna go really bad (which is what someone what usually expect and it's led us into that direction), unless Wellington is completely different and actually empty. Hard to discuss that considering we need to use that ending to go into a main plot, unless Wellington is actually a main setting we're going to need to pay attention to. So what could Telltale try out in your perspective that brings new ideas into S3, no matter how absurd they might be?
Comments
the one thing telltale hasn't done that recently wrapped up in the comics is a war with another group
That would be quite similar to how opposed the Cabin group was to Carver's group when they eventually lashed out, but an actual war between two groups sounds very suspenseful in the game.
Let players choices actually matter and change how characters interact with you.
They still need to do bicycles and orcs
Give the zombies superpowers, and make Clementine a god.
Perfect lets make a poster for it
Clem first kiss.
)
War, rebuilding Civilization, Romance, Rape.
Not until she´s 50!
A safe zone that is actually safe and functional? Carver's camp was supposed to be one but it wasn't really safe. Wellington appears to be a safe zone too but since there are multiple endings and TTG can't make a different storyline for each ending I doubt Clem will stay there long.
Rape?What the hell,man.
Technically it is implied that Rebecca didn't have an affair with Carver, but that he forced himself on her to conceive little AJ. So I suppose that's integrated already.
I'm not saying I want to see a bunch of guys rape Clem. The topic was adressed in the comics though, when a group of bandits tried to rape Carl, Rick's son. I'm not saying I support rape, just that it'd happen in an apocalypse.
IIRC that was in deleted audio. There's nothing in the actual game that implies Rebecca was raped by Carver.
What they haven't done yet? The things coming in my mind:
-A war between communities (just like in the Comics: Alexandria/ The Kingdom / Hilltop vs The Saviors)
-Love scenarios/ scenes (like a kiss or something like that)
-The creation of a community (like we see the beginning of his creation)
-Hallucinations/ Big psychological problems / Somebody we know who slowly loses his mind
-Torture/ rape scene (but I hope that won't happen)
-Different kinds of group, friend or foe ( A religious cult, a feminist group who only accepts woman, etc.)
-More references to the world before and to the Comics
"The fuck are you looking at, bitch? Don´t act like you didn´t love every second of it."
I don´t know, it sounded like rape to me...
To me that sounds like she knew what she was doing, she also mentions before that with the group that she did a lot of the PA messages for Carver back in the day so it seems like they were kinda together a lot if he let her do that.
If this happens to Clem.... I don't know if I could play the game then. But you got a point with your argument.
Well, maybe, I really don´t know. I wish they´d just confirm this kind of thing.
Bad people will be out there, so everything is possible in a Apocalypse situation. I doubt they would do it though, it would be terribly insensitive to people who have been victims of sexual assaults.
What I would really like to see is more focus on the mental state of the main character. Regardless of if it is Clem or someone else I want to see them struggle with the things they have done and the things they've seen. Especially if we get to keep playing as Clem it would be interesting to see her struggle with psychological issues.
Like others have mentioned, large-scale group conflict is also a big thing they could explore more.
I would really like to see them do something to tie things in with the comics again, just to show that they're still in the same universe. Wellington seems like a big deal since people have been coming there from all over, so that the D.C communities wouldn't have heard of it seems strange.
Encountering some military remnants could be interesting, but not sure Kirkman would let them do that.
Some new types of human antagonists also. Either more crazed (cult or such) or more sympathetic (A hostile (to the main character) community without a crazy leader).
If they follow Clem, there's a lot of opportunity for more stuff related to growing up in the world the way it is now, and of course taking care of AJ (Would be different to taking care of Clem in S1 since AJ is more of a liability).
If they don't follow Clem they could go back to the beginning of the apocalypse and explore the early days more.
Living in a large community and living alone are two extremes that would be interesting to see more of as well. We've mostly had a small group so far. The lonely segments in S2E1 was handled very well in my opinion, and I wouldn't mind seeing more of that. Living in a large community is something we haven't really seen at all in the game the way we have in the comics.
Really, there's lots and lots of stuff to do. The current storyline in the comics might open up new possibilities for the game as well, without spoiling anything...
The bandits didn't succeed in raping Carl, though. Rick ripped one guy's throat out with his teeth and killed the other one bare-handed. I'm not saying that we should see rape, I'm just saying that the topic should be adressed.
It actually already happened it was with Jolene and her daughter.
It was, Jolene (the woman in the woods back in season one) calls the bandits "rapist fuckers" on the recording, and it's implied her daughter was raped by them too.
The Tumblerinas wouldn't last a fuckin' day in the apocalypse, someone would help them when they got attacked by a walker and they'd shoot them for being misogynist.
Okay, yeah, forgot that. It's kinda not really thematized, though.
Oh,sorry.I mistook it for something else.
i hope for a bigger time jump. so we get 18 year old clem creating her own group and mentoring 7 year olf aj (hopefully better then) lee style.
we never saw a really competent leader up until now.
Though rape was slightly addressed in Season 1, I could see the topic being brought up again in Season 3 in a larger scale. Hoping not though. Don't think I can handle that.
oh yeah, So there you go.
we will never get that unless the comics do a 5 year time skip the longest time skip we can get at the moment is 2 years
really?
as much as i have heard / read up until now the only thing comic and game have in common is the zombi apocalypse?
Just imagined a group of bandits telling Lee they're going to rape Clementine, lol. Pretty sure he'd do worse then Rick did when Carl was threatened in the comics
The comic and the game take place in the same universe, and let's say...there's a five year time skip, and Kirkman introduced a twist about the walkers in the two year time skip, then the game would be going against the canon.
And there are some connections.
Ever wonder what happened to Glenn and Hershel back in episode 1? Read the comics.
well on telltale's faq it says the game takes place within the comic universe i know they said what you were told about the tv show which is true but i dont think they ever said the game went away from the comics
Wheres the Zombie worshipers. What's a zombie apocalypses without your friendly zombies worshipers?
Best...Comment...All...Day
How about a nice sibling relationship?
Andy and Danny?
There is no rape or exterior betrayal. In other words, a member of the group is actually a part of another group and setting the main group up to fail.
