Downloadable choices option
 

I just love all of my progress trying to play ep 5. They're gone and it's really disappointing. Telltale, you should provide a download or update to allow players to make some of the larger decisions before loading a later episode. Ie, if you start ep 5 on a new game you should be able to select the choices for the previous 4 episodes. While this won't make up for everything, it would be better than the random choices that are made now. I know it's wishful thinking but I'm frustrated that I have to finish the game with completely foreign choices. It just destroys what the game is really all about.

I have the exact same problem. I refuse to play episode 5 with random choices.
