Who do you think we'll play as in Season 2?
 
Who do you think we'll play as in Season 2 now Lee has gone?

Robbingrobin 02/03/2013 07:11 am

Random male, because thats the easiest choice for telltale.

Riadon 02/03/2013 07:12 am

Random male/female (probably male) is the most obvious choice. If we have met the character, go ahead and write them off as they already have established personalities.

Hudomonkey 02/03/2013 08:03 am

A Clementine story is possible but it would be easier to start over in a completely new area with new characters

Probably a female because it would be interesting for once

Whoever it is has to have a good story which makes you unsure about the character but most of all they have to be human

Lee was so great because he wasn't perfect, he wasn't even especially good but he was a person

Who I hope we'll play as: Christa

Who we'll probably play as: Random male character on the hill

Riadon 02/03/2013 08:51 am

I'm surprised at how many people are choosing Clementine. Not only would that not make sense (her personality is very, VERY established), it would be terrible from a gameplay perspective, and it would effectively void Lee's teachings from the first season. The best possible outcome would be a new, imperfect character with a past and personality that is open to interpretation. This character could coexist in a group with Clementine, having her as an important character without the awkwardness of controlling her and ignoring all that has been established about her in the first season.

we could wind up playing as lee's wife. would make for an interesting story plot.

Random male. How is it possible to play for someone who is whose character we already know, for example how can we playing , for example, as Omid and be severe?

gimmeseason2 02/03/2013 11:35 am

Don't think we'll be playing as Clementine or anybody we already know, so a random stranger(male) seems more probable.

thewalkingwalker 02/03/2013 11:40 am

I dunno, can be anyone, male or female, but I'm sure it's someone we don't know.

Who I hope that we'll play as (though it probably won't happen): Clem's adult son or daughter, 30-40 years in the future.

It'd give Clem fans some degree of closure, without running the risk that the next season ends up being a weak rehash of this one.

However, it would also require that the game spends some time on topics that it wouldn't normally have to deal with (e.g. "How many years before a walker just falls over and stays dead?"), so I see this as a fairly remote possibility. Most likely, it'll be some random survivor.

Woah, 40 years? All the walkers have starved, the world is abandoned and we have a chance of meeting only one VERY paranoid crazy guy that will shoot us on sight.
Sounds good to me.

Mornai 02/04/2013 07:35 am

Random male seems most likely. Clementine should make her own decisions based on what we've taught her, and i have a feeling Omid and Christa will show up, alive or dead(or undead).

Going several years into the future is an intriguing idea, but seems unlikely. As far as I'm aware the game is still based on the comics, and it's only about 2(?) years into the apocalypse in the comics, so that's probably as far as they would go.

JordyLicht 02/05/2013 06:54 am

I'm guessing season 2 will start with totally new characters and some of the characters and story of season 1 will be slowly integrated into the new season.

marioluigi344 02/06/2013 02:41 pm

Kenny.

DanJ555 02/06/2013 03:16 pm

It's either Clementine or her new guardian.

walkerbait00 02/06/2013 04:21 pm

well whoever we play as it will be fun i just hope we find out what happens to Clem i would hate it if they just let that hanging

Robert Morgan 02/07/2013 10:17 am

I just had a crazy idea. It might sound too radical for S2, but hear me out:

Anyone else here ever seen Romero's DAY OF THE DEAD? One of the principal characters is a semi-sentient zombie called Bub. Would it be possible to actually have a walker as a PC?

Let's say the military had managed to weather the zombie outbreak after all, and were conducting neurological experiments inside a high-security bunker to see if zombies can actually be rendered docile, since they'll only keep coming as long as people keep dying.

Depending on your actions in the last game, the PC could be an entirely new zombie (if Lee was shot by Clem), or, if you imported a save where you had Clementine leave Lee behind, you could take control of Lee again. The military would have captured either the new walker PC or Lee at random and proceeded with a complex type of brain surgery to restore the walker/Lee to a state of dim cognizance.

Now, initially the fact of whether you're a new walker or Lee has minimal impact when the game first starts out, since neither would have any memory of their previous existence. But as the story advances, you experience occasional "flashes" of your human life. In Lee's case, we'd see the most memorable moments from the first game, i.e. killing Larry in the locker, Kenny weeping over Duck's body, saying goodbye to Clem, etc. But if you were playing as the new PC walker, you'd see memories of a different life that you gradually piece together as you complete each episode.

I know this isn't taking into account other creative challenges of such a scenario, like Lee's missing arm, or that the player probably wouldn't enjoy shuffling from one location to another throughout the course of the game, but I'm just describing the bare outline.

What do you guys think? A little too extreme for S2?
