How many of you guessed the whole thing out?
 

SPOILERS

I "guessed" the whole thing

So 2 guys are coming down the road. And they don't exactly look threatening.. They just want some gas and they're offering food in exchange.

Considering the only thing the group was missing - or at least the #1 ergency- was food, sure let's make a deal. BUT

why should anyone from our group leave to go to the farm? You go back to your farm, bring some food and we give you the gas. We don't know these people, maybe there is no farm at all or they have no food. Right there it was a deal breaker and bad news for me. But all the rest of the group was like let's get going.

And then you go towards the farm and you see the bandits. For a minute there I thought I figured it all wrong and that the 2 guys were bandits as well.

But anyway we get at the farm. They don't let you see the barn before you check the fence (fine), but they also don't let you in the house;

Now why i said "guess" instead of guess. It's a scenario that I have seen before in media, for example the movie the road


Now that I laid these out I'm thinking that they could have avoid making you so suspicious. I mean why not let you in the house when you arrive? Mark is not hurt, no other victim is in there... why not..? It didn't had to be the whole house either, just 1 room. With these in place, the locked door is just the confirmation. You don't even have to open it, you're sure these people are bad news and you know exactly the kind..

well i knew some bad shit was going down in the farm but i didn't know what till i started talking to danny/ andy and the mother the clincher penny dropped when i met joleen...then the fence going on, i was like fuck that was close... wait a sec... hmmmm suspicious...

then mark was no where to be found brenda fobbed me off..

Kind of reminded me a little of the old people in The Book of Eli too, i figured it out but i didnt realise they were cannibals until i put the wheelbarrow and the bloody room together with Jolene's ramblings.

I went back and forth between thinking they were good and bad. I knew for sure they were bad after the whole incident with the lady at the camp.

I didn't guess they were cannibals, though, until right up when Mark says not to eat the dinner. I thought the lady's "dead" husband was in the house, and they were stealing organs or something for him. When I saw the box with old clothes and IV bags in it, I thought they were stealing blood for the husband. I still don't quite get why they would even have needed IV bags, I guess to keep people alive as long as possible to get more meat?

Since they were a dairy farm I figured they wouldn't have any animals for slaughter.The way they kept talking about dinner and asking questions about our group led me to believe something was up. Denny's creepy behaviour and Mark going inside the house affirmed my suspicion that they were cannibals.

I had my suspicions something was up at the bandits attacking scene(I swear I heard one of them say, this is for what you've done to us), but I didn't think cannibalism, until I realized I haven't seen Mark in a while...

Yeah all those questions from the start, like how many in your group, how many guns etc...

Btw, for cannibals, these people were stupid. As the group is.

We send 2 people and there's 3 of them. They should have divided Mark & Lee, take them down and have a feast. The rest of the group has no idea were the farm is; And even if they send someone to scout and found the farm, make some bs excuse, invite them in and repeat the routine.

They only eat those that are dieing anyway, or something like that.

I realised immideatily that there was something horribly wrong with them when Andy jumped on me for trying to go to the barn before fixing the perimiter. Then it was just a matter of finding out what, but when Brenda didn't allow me to see Mark I guessed they were cannibals and the whole slaughterhouse in the barn just confirmed it.

I realized they were Cannibals the moment Denny shot Jolene in the head and I talked to him afterwards. He says something about a very SPECIAL dinner for the group, and having read the comics, I put 2+2 together. I was direct with telling everybody what was going on, didn't beat around the bush. I'm not sure what difference it makes, but I did it.

Oh yeah, the part where they visit the old couples house right. That reminded me of it.

Just because of the nature of the game I had red flags coming up as soon as the St. John's came to the motel. I think I started suspecting something was off when Brenda said all the farmhands left, and after talking to Danny after he shot Jolene, and Brenda's refusal to let me see Mark, I guessed that it could be an possible explanation. It wasn't until the bloody room that I was 100% sure the St. John's were cannibals.

Plus when people start acting ridiculously nice and speak in creepy voices you can't help but get the jitters.

Well that's what they said they do but:
1) How was Mark dying? If I remeber right he only got an arrow near the shoulder area, correct? I doubt that one could die from this. It's not like he was shot in the chest area. And they even had medical supplies (just for the wrong reasons)
2) They don't seem to have a problem killing someone (Jolene). And he was like 'nice that I got to use the gun today' on top of it.
3) They are so creepy when talking about the food and how awesome it will
be.

So yeah.. I don't buy it

i thought there arguement was simply 'you have to do what it takes to survive'? pretty sure they were on about since the world went to hell everything is different and the old rules dont apply anymore and they went straight ahead and got into the soylent green industry.

If there's 1 thing I've learned from the comic it's that if they seem too nice/friendly, they're usually up to no good.. if something seems to good to be true, it is.

The cannablism was sooo easy to predict.. as soon as she wouldn't let me go in the house to check on Mark I figured he was going to be up there legless (I'm sure the comic readers *SPOILERISH* remember what happened to Dale!), and that's what was gonna be for dinner. My little trip with weird gun brother (honestly I didn't bother remember which was Danny and which was Andy lol) just confirmed my suspicion of them, and I kept wondering when I was going to get the option to just get my group the fuck out of there! They gave us so many hints, only a dimwit would stay there! I tried being up-front about it. "What's in the barn?" "Do you have a screw driver?" so on so on lol

I got a bad feeling about them and my top theory was that they were -SPOILERS!- cannibals. But I still really enjoyed the whole experience and the main plot twist for me ended up being -SPOILERS!- the meat locker scene in which Larry dies.

There were no surprises in this episode for me. None.

I didn't like the look of their faces (or their eyes) when I met the brothers on the road -- didn't trust them from the start. Trusted them even less when they began asking about the motel, who the leader was (which they persist about later on), how many people were there, etc.

When you get to the farm, its obviously "too good to be true" (and so it probably is.) I wondered immediately how they could "trade" enough for the gas they needed.

I guessed they were cannibals as soon as I spoke to the mother -- I mean, the *very first time* (I was certain as I could be without experiencing the rest of the story.) I didn't like her face either.

The rest of what happened was just confirming what I knew (or "suspected", to be technically precise). What the bandits were yelling when they attacked you: "Give us our food", the mother's refusal to let you see Mark, the crazy lady: "I KNOW what you are!" and so on and so forth.

I enjoyed myself, but I was expecting better after episode 1. And I wished they hadn't killed Mark, he was cool.

I think I only guessed they were cannibals when you find the room. Add that to Brenda stopping you seeing Mark and it didn't bode well. Before that, and despite having doubts over the camera and the fence being turned on, I was trying to find a way to avoid going into the room so we could leave without getting on their bad side.

IV bags make bleeding victims die faster.

The way i figured it out was in this order:

-I could not see Mark
After I ended up shooting the woman in the forest:
-Found the bloody clothes in the barn
-Leaving the conversation with Danny:
---Lee: I'll go and wait for supper
---Danny: It'll be a good one *THAT STARE*

Then it just clicked and i understood what was going on.

1. Ruptured aorta, lungshot and so on. You can die from being shot where Mark was hit.
