First off let me start by saying I love the game. I have had some severe issues getting it to save properly and even downloading some of the episodes but because I love The Walking Dead series so much I don't really care about that too much.

The one thing I have been disappointed about was the choices. In most cases I have found what I answered did not really matter - other than how some people acted around me.

The first example: You must decide whether to save Duck or Shawn. The first time through I chose Duck and got kicked off the farm. Foolishly I thought if I had of chosen Shawn I would have been able to save him and it might have created a different path to go down. I was hoping it would allow me to stay on the farm for awhile and see what transpired on the farm in the beginning (things prior to the TV series and comics.)

I understand some choices will decide who lives or dies and probably changes the story in that regard. That is perfectly fine, but things that don't make sense to me was Carley getting shot in the face. I rewound it 5 times choosing every possible thing I could hoping that she wouldn't die. I know I'm late to the party as I'm sure most of you probably tried/wondered the same thing but that really sucked. But, I guess in a zombie apocalypse things happen you can't control.

Anyways, the point of my post is I wish future episodes/seasons were wrote where you could actually have different paths to the story depending on what choices you made. The way it looks to me is the story doesn't vary a whole lot except for the people who are in it with you.

If I'm mistaken then be gentle, I've only played through the first 4 episodes once and episode 1 twice.

Thanks!
