Point of View character Season 2
So, I don't know if that was already discussed here. But I'm bringing it up.
If Telltale were to make a Season 2 of the Fables comics, or The Wolf Among Us, what character would you like to play as?
I honestly don't want to play with Bigby again.
What I'm hoping is a direct sequence of Season 1, but playing as Snow White. Then, depending on how you play Bigby in Season 1, he will cause more or less "trouble" for Snow. If you play as a asshole Bigby who doesn't care about anyone and kill the Crooked Man, he will be more difficult to handle. If you play as a good Bigby who care abou everyone and just arrest the Crooked Man, he will be easier.
And, the final choice can matter. If Bigby go after "Nerissa", Snow will have to deal with something without him, if he let her go, they can deal with whatever it is together.
Yeah, I'm being optimistic. :P
How about you? Who would you like to play as?
Sorry for the poor english.

Bigby of course, it's not even a contest for me (since he's my favourite character).
As much as I like Snow (heck, she's my second favourite character after Bigby in Fables and TWAU), I just don't think it will make a very interesting game at all if we just retread the Season 1 storyline (sorry, but that's just how I feel). I mean besides following around Bigby in his investigation and saving his life from Bloody Mary (and she was so sweet for doing so), Snow didn't really do all that much in Season 1 (since Bigby did most of the hard work, such as chasing suspects, getting into fistfights with other Fables etc)
What I would want is a continuation of the story from the Season 1 cliffhanger ending (with Bigby still being the POV character), and feature some characters who we haven't seen before, such as Prince Charming, Cinderella, Totenkinder, Rose Red, Briar Rose, Pinocchio, Boy Blue etc.
We could have a mini seires on the homelands with a different Fable that isn't mentioned in the comics. Like the boy who cried wolf encountering Bigby, sure he was mentioned in one sentance by Jack but they could still use him.
I wanna use Boy Blue and Bigby, they're a team in the comics and it would be very interesting.
Also, can we use Nerissa/Faith.. That'd be interesting
I would always play as Bigby, seeing as the game is called The Wolf Among Us. And tbh, while I LOVE Snow to bits, I don't think she will be a particularly interesting character for a protagonist role like that.
For a start, she is the Mayor now, and as such her role would be pretty much in the Business Office all day every day, dealing with Fables' complaints and other stuff related to Fabletown. Now when it comes to gameplay, Snow can be intimidating and a great arguer, but TellTale love having their protagonists fight. Snow can fight expertly with a sword, and yeah she can throw a good punch or two, but in the middle of New York she would get her ass handed to her royally by pretty much any Fable out there.
You could argue that Clementine being a child is no different, but she could hold her own by using a gun, and Snow doesn't use a gun ever in Fables or TWAU
I just don't think a TWAU game with Snow as the protagonist would be thrilling enough for everyone. Her encounters would have to be extremely well thought out to portray her as someone who is tough, but cannot fight that well, also why would anyone attack the Mayor of Fabletown anyways????
Now Cinderella I would like to see as the protagonist of a DLC or mini-series! XD
I'd probably like to stick with Bigby. Snow is a great character, but since I'm guessing this second game would take place soon after the first, she'd mainly just be a bureaucrat dealing with the day-to-day of running Fabletown, she wouldn't be running out and investigating things herself, that's what Bibgy is for.
If it's not Bigby then I wouldn't mind playing as Cinderella. In the Fablesverse she's a secret op working for Bigby, so that could actually be pretty fun. The problem is she doesn't operate a lot in Fabletown (she mostly deals with problems outside of Fabletown so Bigby can handle issues in Fabletown), so we probably wouldn't run into a lot of Fabletown characters. We might see Bigby cause he does sometimes meet her in other locales.
As another alternative I wouldn't mind playing as Jack either. But in that case we'd probably be working on some kind of scheme to benefit ourselves. We wouldn't be a lawman like we are in TWAU.
Oh fuck Jack Horner! We already got a spin-off comic to Fables with him as the protagonist, we don't need a fucking GAME focusing on him either!!! >:(
@CoolGuyJ Please back me up here dude.
LOL I kind like con artists.
How about Rose Red if not Jack?
Hmmm, I don't think I would like to play as Snow and then interact with Bigby. In my opinion, it would be strange to play as other person while Bigby is around, why not play as him then? Playing as Snow in a DLC or something? Maybe. But a whole season? Nah.
No. She not that great a character for a TWAU-style game
Boy Blue or Cinderella would be cool. And I guess a DLC for Snow is ok as well. I just wanted to play as both. I don't think that she being Mayor would make her boring or something. Anyway, I was thinking they would change the name for the character.
Like: The Flycatcher Among Us (exaaaaample!) lol
But being him in some adventure of the comics in the homelands or in the witching well would be awesome... But, that's impossible.
Have you read Fables?
Cuz you described Volume 10: The Good Prince in a freakin' nutshell right here!! XD
I completely hate/despise Jack, probably only reason I have the whole "Jack of Fables" series is because of my "completionist" attitude regarding Fables, and nothing else.
So yeah, definitely NO to a Jack game.
I'd love to play as Bigby once again!
Yeah, I've read the Fables comics.
It's awesome. Flycatcher is awesome.
Cindy. Spymaster game. Hell yes.
I would simply be happy to be in bigby's worn oxfords once again.
Your English was not too bad. It had one or two grammatical mistakes, but was moreover completely understandable.
I'm currently reading Fables Comics from the year 2002, and I gotta say I am very interested in the story already. In my point of view, I am more than happy to continue playing as the Big Bad Wolf Bigby. HOWEVER, after reading the Fables comic at this point if I was to decided on anyone to play as, I would highly be interested in playing as either Beast (The cursed husband of Beauty). I think Beast would be interesting simply because I think from what I have read so far that if in season two the player can play as Beast, then the plot would follow the financial struggles Beauty and Beast go through. It would follow on a tense and confrontational scheme whereby Beast is on a mission to start providing for Beauty and himself no matter what. With the constant pressure and demand of providing Beauty with the life he believes she deserves this would lead to a lot of tense and vital choices for Beast to make throughout the season. In example, he may be offered corrupt jobs in dealing, or part time jobs in another field, and as due to the financial pressure Beast can either be very secretive about his lifestyle, or he can be open with his wife Beauty. Again, this can be left for the player to decide how they carry out the choices. But mainly the plot will strictly and firmly base on the financial struggle of Beauty and Beast, and it would build up in a more intense story whereby the vow "For better or for worse" is highly enforced through the decisions the players make. This would be my first choice. My second choice I got to say for me would be Prince Charming. Prince Charming has not yet made an appearance in the Telltale games series, so I think from the Fables comics he would be a good protagonist for players to explore. Players would see Fabletown from Prince Charming's eyes, and they could explore his story in Fabletown. His character (from what I have read so far) is confident, smart, respectful, and of course charming. So his personality is already constructed. His appearance could follow the common Black short hair and piercing blue eyes. In addition, Charming's clothing would consist of smart suits and robes and what not. Smart respectful attires and outfits. If Telltale games were to make Prince Charming the leading focus of the next season, this would be the perfect opportunity to introduced Cinderella to the season and grant her first appearance to the series. This could build on the plot of Prince Charming finding love with of course Cinderella. This can build on the love interest scheme of the season. However this shouldn't be exclusive to just one love interest because this isn't the traditional fairytale love story. Nevertheless, the story itself would follow a very distinctive, yet very carefully and logically laid out plot in which there are many plot twists and mystery which could ultimately sum up to Prince Charming's road to wealth and love. These are MY suggestions/ideas, but obviously I'm not in charge of what protagonists the players play as lol. In any case I'm sure Telltale will make the right decision in who the players get to play as, and I am sure we as Telltale Games fans will not be disappointed when season 2 comes out.
I would like to play as Prince Charming, I guess. He is a character who lie a lot, and I would like to play a character like that.
SPOILER of comics
They can even get choices relating Beauty and the "future love affair". That would be way awesome.
Problem is is that Charming is in Europe scrounging off of a wealthy family during the events of TWAU, leading all the way up to issue 1 of Fables.
What I do admire about Charming is his dedication to Fabletown, even though he is still a prick most of the time :P
I kinda wish he gave Bigby his blessing to marry Snow though
Beast would have more protective/ Compassionate dialogue, Prince would have a Confident/Crafty/ Charming dialogue lol.
Prince would be an interesting character to play. I know that for sure LOL
Prince, Beauty, or Beast.
Love 'em all.
It's either Beast or Charming for me :P I like how Prince Charming is scrounging for money from other wealthy people. He would be a very crafty and funny character to play as. Beast would be very protective as well as strong. So he would also be interesting lol.
Darkness...
(You know the joke about Season 2 not coming out..Hahahhhah...Haha....Ha...That's not funny is it...)
Season 2 has been confirmed by Telltale Games... XD
I wish...
I'd like to stick as Bigby, hence the title "The Wolf Among Us," but otherwise, I was thinking Cindy might be an interesting character to play.
Cinderella makes the most sense. Being a female James Bond and all.
well, i personally would want to play with the woodsman(aka woody), after all he said everybody has something to do, or something like that.
He becomes a Tourist for Fabletown, and works for Bigby
Either Bigby, Boy Blue or Cindy.
I would defienetely love to play as Cindy.
^ I second this!
Bigby or no one..
Why wouldn't you want to play as him again?
I think for the season 2 we could have Bigby and Cindy as protagonists.
I'd be fine with Bigby again.
If not Bigby it might be interesting if Telltale created an original player character, similar to how with The Walking Dead games the protagonist was Lee or Clementine, rather than one of the characters from the comics or TV series.
But then this character would need to either die or disappear forever at the end of the Season
Plus it is Bill Willingham's final decision if such a character could be created...
