Will we get to protect Nora Fries?
During episode two, we're given the choice of earning Freeze's trust by promising to house Nora at one of Bruce's technology companies. I hope we'll be treated to a follow-up of that scene in episode four or five, where we have to decide whether or not to keep our promise to Victor. A brief shot of Nora's frozen body being carted off to Wayne Biotech would be a nice touch. Having her reappear (if only for a moment) in season 3 while Bruce is vising the Biotech department would also be a great bonus for any players who import that particular save.

I agree Robert. This would be a truly nice addition considering Freeze has gotten relatively little development and screen time. Freeze is a completely remorseless, apathetic character with his one redeeming quality being his devotion to his wife. With all of the careless fatalities he's caused, a little more development is needed to have any conflicting feelings towards his ultimate fate.
On the show Gotham, after they woke Nora up from her hibernation, she was so horrified by what Victor had become that she rejected him. I hope that TT's Nora has a similar reaction.
Actually what I see happening is us taking the power out to get out of the freezer we are stuck in at the end of episode 3 and in the process killing Nora.
I hope we get the chance to keep our word to Freeze if we gave it to him.
I’ve always wanted to see Batman help Freeze in the process of trying to cure his wife.
The EMP might be a good guess. They already shown it and it must still be around there.
I like the idea and it seems really likely it will go down something like that.
In that case, what would happen to Nora if you let Catwoman take the fall and there isn't anyone in a freezer?
I'm not sure, I suppose we will have the opportunity to stay true to our words and store her elsewhere, even in the event that Fries dies.
I don't think Bruce would willfully end her life, but sadly sometimes you can't always win and should we take the fall for the Cat Nora has to be a casualty I'm afraid. I won't hesitate.
I'd like that.
Despite his methods of acquiring tech, Fries is still an intellectual guy who devotes all his time to find a cure for Nora. I find that noble, but still kind of apathetic given that he doesn't care about anyone else's life in his crusade to save his wife. I'd put him in jail and get him the help he needs once this is all over, but I still intend to keep my promise to him and keep Nora safe. I have faith he'll find a cure one day, and hopefully his murderous rampage stops there, or maybe sooner..
I like this idea. My Bruce acknowledges that Nora is an innocent who isn't responsible for her husbands actions and would be horrified to accidentally kill her. I could see that being the catalyst that makes Freeze go on a full on rampage against Gotham and Bruce.
However i think it is more likely that Bruce will use his new heat/freeze seeking contact lenses to find a way to escape the death chamber.
I'd like to add that I would like to be able to get the power running after being freed from our ice prison, I don't have any particular desire to see Nora dying.
But it would definitely alleviate long-standing criticisms levelled at Telltale for making choices largely irrelevant, now this would be an heavy consequence.
I definitely like the idea that in the scenario where Bruce decides to blow his cover and sacrifice himself to protect CatWoman that there ought to be an extreme consequence. An excellent one would be to have caused Nora's destruction. Beyond that, it should also have consequences for someone Bruce is actually close to -- like Tiffany or Gordon. It doesn't need to be death, but crippling one would be outstanding. ( That statement makes me sound like a sociopath lol. )
I just think whatever cause there is should have an equally emotional effect. If you throw CatWoman under the bus, her arm is frozen prior to being placed in Riddler's trap. I don't think that should be recoverable. The frostbite alone would require amputation. If Bruce has to pay for CatWoman's cravings for vengeance, I don't think injuring Bruce in equal measure would work out ( like in S1, it's either Bruce's ear or Alfred's eye ), however an extreme injury that either Tiffany or Gordon suffer would fit perfectly.
Not sure if her arm is going to be amputated, she is placed in one of Riddler's "oven" that could unfreeze it.
Or maybe there will be no consequences whatsoever akin to giving Bane a rotten serum in episode 2.
I'm not sure that TellTale will in fact go that far into reality, however with that much damage to the tissue it would need amputation. The cells would be dead. Now whether or not TellTale would do that to a popular character like CatWoman is another question entirely.
We can agree this would be the most credible outcome.
The choice of sacrificing Catwoman just feels so, so wrong to me. I'll watch a few playthroughs out of morbid curiosity but I'd never do it in mine. Sure, she can always turn on us but she does not deserve such a fate, after everything we've been through. She's been selfish in the past, said hurtful things and her antics can be legitimately infuriating sometimes but she does care about us, always has. I suspect she struggled with her growing feelings for a while.
At least with us completely annihilating our cover, and putting the Mission distant second there can be no doubts in her minds as to how we feel about her. She better not downplay what some of us just did for her.
Please don't even mention Bane's counteragent.... I'm still so so salty that it had approximately 0% of an effect on the game.
I agree, it's a terrible choice. Perhaps that's why I'm hoping that those who made the choice to sacrifice her will face a gruesome reality of the consequences she faces aside from she's just really bitter. I don't think anyone honestly would care that she's just really bitter about it. It'd add so much towards the weight of what Waller is really asking of Bruce Wayne, and from a storytelling stand point alone that'd be worth while.
I'm also hoping that for those that made the choice to sacrifice themselves, the price is heavy and high for the benefit of both Bruce's development and Selena's. Imagine the affect it would have that not only did Bruce put the mission in jeopardy and risk his own life ( as I'm fairly certain that no physical damage will occur to Bruce that would be detrimental ), the cost of someone else's injury is added. That could be what could tip the scale as far as CatWoman earnestly turning away from the choices she consistently makes for good with a fantastic backstory as to why.
I don't think her being placed in one of Riddler's death traps is going to do much. It's probably not active, and was just used as an alternate prison chamber after she kicked over the freezer. I think she's safe in there.. for now.
The ice on her arm if not dealt with soon will surely cause her body temperature to drop which would cause her arm to fall off.
Here is the thing that is tricky with the telltale world... I know Ive written something like this in a previous post but here we go again since this is on the topic.
We cant know for sure how Telltale will deal with this kind of injuries, its not quite consistent. For example if you decided to save Harvey in season one instead of Selina she will receive a shot from a shotgun close range at the shoulder...
In the real world that would probably kill you or atleast almost tear of your arm, but as we have seen,
It did not have that much of an impact... atleast physical. So we cant be sure what will happen yet.
Will be interesting to see how episode 4 starts but I for sure dont want Selina to lose an arm even if you decided to throw her under the bus (I took the fall since I am pretty sure Bruce will be fine... but I am worried about other allies)
I didn't rat Selina out in my playthrough, but honestly I feel like if Catwoman ended up in Riddler's cage at the end of your playthrough, I don't think she'll have that much trouble getting out of it. There could be damage to her arm like others have mentioned, but since she apparently knew Riddler so well and possibly his devices, I think she'll easily be able to get out of his cage.
I see Nora as a potential candidate to fill the last space on the codex. With the thumbnail being her frozen body.
And besides, I think the ice box was sabotaged... by Freeze. He might need Bruce to gain access to Wayne tech. Whether we gained his trust or not.
Where's all this "last space" thing? Telltale can always let them overflow to new pages.
