An obvious knockoff of a superior being. Real hunters wear no underwear.

I still think that would be fun play as a Older Clementine. I can just imagine the introduction in the 2nd season, depending of how you played the game.

If you played as a Guy who always tried to resolve disputes with words, that still believed in humanity's innocence, it would be like...

" Dad taught me that the world isn't gone. It didn't end... It's just harder to live. People still have feelings, for each other, against each other... We just have to reason with 'em. He always did things for the people, some necessary, others not. Even in his final moments, he tried help the others. He sacrificed himself to protect me... And I will not forget his lessons!(...)"

If your Lee played as a Survivalist with heart, it would be like...
" Father. I don't know if you're still alive, but I thank you for everything you did for me. The world is different, now I know that. I know that we have to do things to survive, things that before it would be considered something inmoral. Yeah, right, you aren't my real father, but you raised me as your child. And for that, I thank you. Now I can defend myself in this world. Now I know that we can't depend on people to do things. But sometimes... They can depend on us. We just have to give the example, right father?"

And, if you played with a hard Lee, harsh and extremly survivalist, it would be like...

" Yeah, I know you did what you had to, Lee. I know that people can't be fully trusted. We have to be cautious, always. You are hard to understand, you know that? Sometimes Doug/Carly( considering that they survived) tried to explain to me why you are such a ... Agressive person. But now I know why... We're in a apocalypse, and nothing can change that. I wonder, how would be live in a world like before. I wonder... If I would fit. "

Yeah, I know that everyone liked that. Right, mates?

Haha! I like the idea! So there's a time when she snaps and calls you "dad", huh? The problem is that this would take place around 5 years after the apocalypse began. Having to skip that far ahead is unnecessary, as the comics have only gone through around 2 years. I would like season 2 to directly take place right after the events in episode 5.

[Lin001]

Uhmmm...

Yeah, I guess that's a problem. Though nothing is impossible in Kirkman's head, I really think that the zombie threat wouldn't be eliminated. Yeah, a lot o things could happen in this time, but what if it was in other place? Clem could go to Canada, or México. Who knows?

Anyway, if it isn't Clem, it could be a female protagonist. Would be cool have a little of innovation, y' know? Someone similar to Andrea, for example.

[Milosuperspesh]

then again kirkman/ttg placed the game at the start of the zompoc then skipped 3 months to bring it in line with the comic

so is pushing it out a few years or a couple of months ahead of current events really that hard ?

depending on who survives ep5 clem and duck are in theory pretty safe and having them both in the game with maybe an option for co-op play ? that would set ttg apart give them a challenge and improve the game and maybe draw some similarities to ico/portal 2

[ommmnomnomnom]

Takes about 5 years for full decomposition, then add detritus feeders, it would be completely zombie free maximum 10 years? But that's if Kirkmans universe plays by the rules

The comic is currently set 2 years after the apocalypse started. It isn't "in line" with it. But we might be reliving a major event of it pretty soon from the looks of it.

Or maybe those cannibals that kill Dale in the comics.

Oh wait, never mind, they already ran into some.

Change that back to the Hunters from “Fear the Hunters."

Duck "The Foreman", new action franchise for TWD

[Warfolomei]

Hahahahaha, oh that's a good one. His confused face is just priceless. Lift with your legs not your back... right ??
Vote for Leectatorship in season 2.

I can't see the big time jump--like 8 years--it would would take for Clem to be a teenager coming into her own when the comic universe the game is based on has gone only 2 years into the future after the outbreak. I like the idea though.

Obvious choices are Lee, someone in the group (e.g. Carley or Kenny), and a brand new character.

But if I had to choose from characters we've been introduced to so far I would suggest the cop that drops Shawn and Lee off if you choose to look for help at night or the bandits.

But the strongest candidate is Jolene. She has an compelling back story. She was a single Mom, at some point allied with the bandits before being betrayed, her daughter was taken and killed (perhaps eaten), and she mentioned rape at some point but it's not clear who was raped. Her? Her daughter? Both? A stranger? She avenges her daughter.

We know how her story ends, and some facts, but I can see 5 episodes worth of drama in the 3 short months she lived after the outbreak.

I agree but don't you think that would give the player a sort of "hopeless" feeling to the game. Since no matter the choices made in the game the little girl and the mother die.

There would be little incentive for the player making "good" choices since in the end there is nothing but death.

[ComixFan]

Personally I'm all for Lee not becoming a casualty and remaining the lead protagonist for the forthcoming Season 2. I really rather like the idea of him being akin to Rick, becoming the leader of a new group in the wake of Lily's departure and finding new folks along the way, building a new group with Lee and Clem obviously still with him given choices we've made.

With Rick in TWD graphic novels we see the world through Rick's choices and those made by the people who travel with him. In TWD game we see that same world through Lee's choices, i.e. choices we make. I don't quite see the point in setting that up with Lee just to kill him and bring in someone else. From a narrative perspective, in a (hopefully) long series like this, it just doesn't make a lot of sense. People get attached to a character who's shoes they've walked in, and filled, for an extended length of time.

Also we have a vested interest in protecting/raising Clementine (some of us anyway) and having Lee die just so Clem becomes a new player character smacks of lazy writing. If I had my choice I would like to see Lee and Clem truly growing/aging in this world, the choices we've made reflected in her and continuing to matter as she becomes older and starts to try to find her own way.

The "years later" time jump gimmick has just become an easy way out in too many well written stories/series of late. It's something Robert Kirkman has tried to avoid in TWD graphic novels for the most part and I'm hoping TellTale does the same.

Be sure to catch Season 2! Clementine Shippuden! 2015!

[LokiHavok]

As many of you know, Season 2 has been mentioned. Once this Season gets a retail release and such. So my question to the members of the forum is:

What do you think the premise of the 2nd series is going to be? A new cast, setting and storyline in the Walking Dead universe?

Or a continuation of Lee Everett's sordid tale? Some time later or immediately after teh Season "finale"

What are your hopes and wants regarding Season 2? What would you like to see?

[Kenneloth]

Well I do like Lee as a character. But I won't mind seeing someone else.
