    Nate would only get Clementine into trouble and danger. How he murdered the old couple at the gas station, drinking while driving, only looking for tail, a psycho in general. There is no Strong Nate, only a Sick Nate. If I want someone to meet Clementine that actually have good influence is Shel.

    Aye I want a strong Nate - Clementine relationship. Clem and him not gonna take no shit from no one, but they might watch out for each other...?

  • Yup. Regardless of how much Clem liked Ben, even she knew that poor dope was completely useless.

    Ummm.. * Ben is dead. * Clementine : "You're leaving me with Ben?" Lee: "I'm not leaving you with Ben. I'm leaving him with you. Understand?" Clem: "Ohhhhh, okay." * Clementine calls Ben her friend, that doesn't mean she looks up to him.

  • I swear I read somewhere that Season 2 is set approx. 2 years after season 1, making Clem 11-ish. But don't quote me on that.

    Description of the revealer teaser :

    Many months have passed since the events seen in Season One of The Walking Dead, and Clementine is searching for safety.

    From the wikia :

    It is confirmed by Telltale Games that Season 2 takes place "many months" after the events seen in Season 1.

    She'll still be 9, going on 10.

  • Yep, "many months", not "many years". She -is- in her late ten years old or early eleven years old.

  • At the end of episode 5 she had just turned 9 (on the last day we learned that her birthday was something like 6 days ago).

    9 years old + many months = still 9 years old.

    Many months later can be anything between 4 months and 11 months (3 and less isn't "many", and over 11 that's 12 months or more, so Telltale would have said that One year or more than a year has passed.)

    Makes sense. But she do look older than nine in my honest opinion. But I suppose by living alone in the wildlife for that long will change your appearance. And her hat still fits, so you're probably very much right about ut.

  • We don't know wether or not 400 days is included in that. If it is many months after 400 days, she might be 10.

    Nah. She just turned 9 in Episode 5. And they said "Many months have passed since the events in Season 1." Not years. I'd say about 3-4 months.

  • When she turned 9, about four month's had passed give or take.

    I highly doubt that "many" here means more than 3-4 however since I bet TTG needs some time space to add timeskips into the game. And we already know tha t around 14 months after the outbreak, things are getting back to normal - so what's the purpose of playing so far beyond that point (ie, when Clem is much older)? Perhaps she could work arranging safaris where people can get out and shoot zombies, but I guess that's kind of missing the point of making up an apocalypse...

  • We don't know if its many months after episode 5 or many months after 400 days.

    Clem's 9th birthday was a little over 3 months into the infection, lets just say she turned nine at around day 90 for the sake of simplicity.

    There are 365 days in a year. 400 days - 365 days (1 year anniversary of infection) = 35 days since 1 year anniversary of infection. If Clem's birthday is around 3 months after the infection, and "many months" means after 400 days, its possible that she is 10.

  • I think she looks like 10, comparing to the little girls in my family, so I think TT made a good job.

    Exactly. Many months since the events of season 1. About 9 months does fit that description (i think "many months" is more than 3-4 months, which I would describe as "a few months"). Oh and what a coincidence that would be at around 400 days. Since they said, that 400 days connects the seasons, my guess is season 2 starts at around that time. Maybe a little before, so that we see day 400 from Clems perspective. Maybe a little after, so that Clem meets the characters from 400 days in the Tavia's community somewhere in the season.

    My guess is the start of the season is around day 400. Which makes Clem still 9. If they start 3 months after that even, she would have just turned 10. But then again TT could have just written "A year has passed since the events in Season 1". So I don't think that to be the case.

    @Michael7123: 400 days is not part of season 1, so no "many months since the events of season 1" does not count from 400 days forward.

    Nah. She just turned 9 in Episode 5. And they said "Many months have passed since the events in Season 1." Not years. I'd say about 3-4 months.

  • In response to the OP, I'm curious to see how Mr Whitta and co. are going to make a young girl relatable to the player. I mean, in the same way someone without kids might not have the same decision as with Duck in Ep 3, someone who isn't a 9-year-old girl cannot put themselves into the position of the moral decision as easily.

  • I agree with everything you said except about murdering the old couple. To be perfectly fair, they where trying to kill him, and we don't know if Nate had been their before, he seemed surprised enough when they got shot at.

    As for drinking and driving..... It's the apocalypse. It's not like there are many drivers on the road.

    I'm not saying Nate is some sort of hero, because he's not. And I don't want Clem and him alone, however, i wouldn't mind him being part of a larger group with Clem.

  • I'm concerned for Clementine if he drinks while driving...

  • Nate's a swell guy. His mate got shot and the old couple shot at him so give him a break.

  • That's a stretch. He is still kinda a sociopath (did you see the look in his eyes when he was about to shoot the old couple?) He has a good side, but he also has a vicious streak. I'm not talking about Eddie and Wyatt, that was completely justified. I'm just saying I wouldn't mind him as part of a larger group with Clem in it. Where he is not in charge.

  • Old couple were a racist bunch of pricks that shot at them. So Nate might smile a little to much when committing violence/ If you get on his goodside he might be a good person to have around.

    Many months have passed since the events seen in Season One

    ...not since the events from 400 days. And the 400 days begin with the infection, so when 3 months have passed in S1, 3 months have also passed in the DLC.

    That leaves roughly 310 days/10 months from Clem's 9th birthday to the end of the 400 days (400 days - 3 months = 400 - 90 = 310 ; 310/31 = 10)

    If season 2 begins where 400 days ended, 10 months have passed.

    So Clementine will be 9 and 10 months.

    2 months left until her 10th birthday, we might celebrate it with Clementine this time.

  • ... He killed them. You make it sound as if he slapped them. I mean, if it has to be done, fine, but you shouldn't feel good about it. They might have been racist pricks, but they didn't deserve to die.

  • 400 days is part of season 1 technically. And if its many months after 400 days, Clem probably is 10. Like I said in the first place.

  • Just because people are starting to form settlements doesn't mean things are getting back to normal. Better (-ish)? Possibly, but not normal. That would take decades at best.

    Absolutely not.

    Season 1 is season 1, 400 days is a DLC.

  • DLC for season 1....

    Nonsense - exactly how stupid do you think people are? Zombies in TWD are slow, dumb and easily killed, and even if they outnumber the living say 10 to 1, after 14 months, there won't be many left between killings, accidents and of course the fact they are dead and subject to everything that destroys a dead body - putrification, lack of heat regulation which means they will freeze solid at first drop in temperature, flies who love a mobil food wagon to raise their young ones in... Actually, just natural decay will make any corpse a pile of bones in about 2 months in the open, but I'm feeling generous here.

    So I would like to know, exactly why would it take us several decades to get back to normal? Germany was flattened during WW2 and by 1946 it was up and running again. This by a country with virtually no infrastructure left from the war.

  • Think about outnumbering the living 1,000 to 1.

  • Sure, let's say the dead outnumber the living by 1000 to 1. But that doesn't change the fact that the dead will be gone in a quite short time span, no matter how many Rick, Lee and the rest of the living kill, because the dead will drop anyway. Cold will freeze the dead solid so they won't be a problem, and heat will make them decay faster. But let's say that they do outnumber the living by 1o000 to 1 and still won't die because of heat, cold or accidents. They are still stupid as f*ck and any living person will be able to destroy a huge number of them, so they still cease to become a problem.

    So no, a zombiecalypse lasting more than a year or so is stretching my suspension of disbelief into the impossible divide by zero zone.
