How big of a role do you think Lawrence will have?
The title says it all. I personally don't think he can, due to me and many others not getting the oppurtunity to save him.

He dead
That no good, he lives
I know he can but on my playthrough I didnt save him
I think that he will play a big role if he is still alive in your playthrough.
Judging by how Telltale has worked in the past, I would guess he'll end up dead by some other means in an episode or two, cutting down on the amount of story divergence they have to put in.
I think they learned from the Carley/Doug issue to not overpower one choice over another. Giving Lawrence a whole intricate storyline would shit on those that chose to look for Toad first. Lawrence will probably off himself midway through Episode 2 after helping you.
The only reason i saved Lawrence is because I watched other gameplays and thought that helping Toad later would probably not make much of a difference.
I'm hoping keeping the letter and keeping him alive will make some sort of a impact, however i'm not holding my breath.
What?! You can save Lawrence?? How? I've played through like 4 times I had no idea you could save him!
You have to go to his apartment before going to Toad´s. Also when the Dum enters the apartment you have to get out of the closet before Lawrence comits suicide
Ohhh ok, time for another play through then
Thanks!!
I honestly don't know what to expect. I failed to save him my first playthrough, and was surprised when playing through again by the substance of what I'd missed. And then I almost lost him anyway. The guy's (quite literally) got a death wish so I'd be surprised to see him stick around for too long, though on the other hand it's kind of silly to keep a guy from dying twice and then have him go out shortly thereafter anyway.
But he only does that if you tell him the truth, if you tell him a half-truth he won't kill himself.
If he has a lot of screentime it would be a bit unfair for the Fans who choose Toad first. I think he will die at Chapter 1 or 2 of Episode 2.
Or you could lie to him
I doubt he'll die until you find her body. He'll bury her and then commit suicide, and Bigby could possibly not know about it till episode 5. My thought is he'll die in episode 3.
I'm new here, and so I guess I don't know how most players of TTG games think, but this argument really only makes sense (that it would be "unfair") if you assume people only play through one time in one way. I've always viewed this sort of thing as comparable to a choose your own adventure story, and in those there's no guarantee that you'll always pick the most satisfying route. Not all paths are created equal, and the joy comes in having explored a variety of possible variations on the story. In that sense, a player who goes through the trouble of playing twice in different ways might say it's "unfair" for the decisions not to be truly consequential, and end up with essentially the exact same story regardless of decisions made.
I think you're right.He won't have any important part to play because many of us didn't save him.Unless Telltale decides to do the contrary so that every game will be completely different and to force people to make different saves.They could also introduce a new character (for those of us who didn't save Lawrence) that would provide us with the same important information that Lawrence could reveal,but in a different way.However,I think it's unlikely to happen.That brings us to another important question: what was the benefit of saving Lawrence? What difference will it make in the game?
My opinion is that Faith is not dead because Snow can't be dead as it's a prequel and if she isn't then there must be a way to bring her back. And if Bigby can bring her back then why not Faith ? Because I strongly believe that Faith will come back,if you saved the prince they will be reunited and I even think that they will forget their past struggles and start a new life together.I believe that's what the "happily ever after" chapter or achievement means.Many people have thought about Bigby and Snow's relationship but it's impossible because in the beginning of the comics they are not openly in love with each other.And throughout episode 1 we see how Lawrence and Faith have been writing letters to each other saying sorry.It would thus make sense to have them reunited in the end.
In my opinion, saving Lawrence does help a whole lot in the long run, since he gives away the name (and later on possibly information) about Faith's pimp Georgie, making the process of locating him in Episode 2 much easier. If anything, Lawrence is a valuable informant,but I highly doubt he will live till the end of the season anyways.
I admit though, that in my first two playthroughs; I always went for Toad first, since he seemed to be a friend in need of help and as Colin stated: "Live is easier with friends,Bigby".
don't see the point of making choices if it will have little to no impact. if Lawrence is going to die anyway and provide no information then they should just make a static game like Assassin's Creed.
Lawrence will probably help out Bigby by telling where Faith worked, he'll explain the letter, Bigby will learn how he remembers Faith.
I am just hoping Telltale doesn't kill him off by episode 3. (Carley/Doug)
He could at best go after Georgie Porgie and/or the Tweedles, but I doubt it. There might be a reunion scene at the end, but that's it.
It's not a matter of choices having little impact, it's about having the choices having equal impact in themselves. For those that offed him accidentally/purposefully will need an equal set of events to amount to Lawrence helping Bigby out. As long as those that don't have Lawrence get the same form of info in a different way all is good.
My gut tells me that his role won't necessarily be major where solving the case is concerned, but I feel like he'll stick around beyond Episode 2 as a redemption side-story for those who saved him.
I think he'll periodically cross paths with Bigby and show that he's slowly coming to terms with a life without Faith. Evidence in his apartment and some of his dialogue points to his obvious dependency on her, which lays an excellent foundation for a story of personal growth and learning how to deal with loss. I feel like that sort of character arc would be very rewarding for people who managed to save him in Episode 1.
I think Happily ever after is about beauty & beast. also I think there is a way to save faith and snow but I think you can only save one of them.
I agree I think TTG learned his lesson after Carley/Doug
I think he'll have a fairly big role in episode 2 for those that saved him... until he see's Faith that is. Then I'm not sure. He could be hellbent on finding who did that to her but as he's already suicidal, it'll most likely push him over the edge. Certainly don't expect him to make it past episode 3, not with him being already dead for the majority of players.
I think there is a way to bring faith and snow back to life and you can bring of them back so If u bring faith back prince will live but if you bring snow back he will kill himself again!
Snow has to come back anyway because she's in the comics, so Bigby won't get that choice.
If your trying to play a somewhat good wolfie.. Tell the truth.. If you lie and he finds out later in the next episode??? Think about it!
So I told the truth and then jumped out of the closet in time to stop him.. Key is you have to wait till he starts to lift the gun up.. Dee or whoever will step in front of him right when he starts to lift the gun up.. But he moves in time for you to click. Just just be ready
Like when you lie to beast.. It shows some kind of fight starting between them next ep.. He suspects you know where she is, etc.. I am going to lie to him anyhow and stay on beauty's good side, cause if their relationship takes a dive.. She is like the only potential romance interest left in the game.. Unless troll lady is available, hahaha.. Still.. They always be getting killed off.. Grrr!!!
You obviously don't know a lot about Bigby. For any information Bigby can resort to lying. If you tell him the truth you will only know the pimp's name. If you don't tell the truth or lie you'll find out Dee knows something as well. Bigby does not tell the truth during an investigation (half-truth half-lie is better). Bigby and Beast will fight anyway. There is no investigation, Beauty acts suspiciously, I tell Beast the truth for information.
you should be able to make the wrong choice
As much as I want Lawrence to have an important role, I really don't see it happening. I'd be super impressed if they added significant story differences if he lives, but I'm not getting my hopes up at all. My guess? He dies before Episode 2 is over.
Beauty does say thanks for not telling him though. That thanks is enough.. I promised her I wouldn't say anything to beast, and so I didn't. I only talk from what I know off the first episode. I didn't read the series or anything like that. So from that knowledge I know about as much as anyone in that boat. Isn't speculation fun
Speculation is fun with a keen eye. Guesses are not. The best answers always stand out. If nothing stands out, silence is the best. There is very little information to trust someone who already broke a rule. Why hide from Bigby, he smells everyone. Who walks on the grass when there is a sign not to. The diciest decision is this one. I read Fairest #7 and still it's hard. Telling Beast the full truth raises Beast's suspicions of Beauty. Fairest #7 explains why Beast becomes suspicious. I'll spoil a little bit... Beauty is like a female version of Jekyll Hyde.
Jekyll and Hyde, hehe, that will be fun.
I don't think TTG really cares about what happened in the comics
