Telltale Games

AsariTears · 09/15/2012, 10:07 pm

I mean season 2, lol can't edit title apparently...

Please Telltale! I know it'd be hard to give us a choice of gender or character in general. So therefore I think you should just make the protagonist female.

It would really help change up the feel of the game and give survival a whole new look. Plus I know some guys would be for it, apparently they prefer looking at a girl's backside while they play anyway :P

And you wouldn't be the first zombie-related fiction to have a female protagonist with Resident Evil and all. Imagine it, it would be awesome!

Plus, I know you'd be able to do a female protagonist justice!

I'd love you forever and ever Telltale!

Uhm... no thanks. I'd prefer it remained an adventure game.

It would also help to seperate the two Seasons better as well.

Instead of people going "Season one was with that guy... Then season 2 to was with that other guy, remember?"

It could be "Season one was with the guy, Lee. Then season two was with the chick, remember?"

See the difference?

Tomb Raider wasn't an adventure game?

I don't mean cross breed those two games and bastardize what Telltale have created. I just mean in terms of Protagonist. Keep the game exactly the way it is Telltale, it's great, bar a few bugs.

zgamer · 09/15/2012, 10:29 pm

I wouldn't mind seeing that. I think it would be better for the series if it was anthology style like American Horror Story. New setting, new cast and new problems. It would keep things fresh and be easy on Telltale for development along with new fans who have not played the first season. I am sure there are plenty of stories to be told.

LordBlake · 09/15/2012, 10:33 pm

No, they need to bring some Merle type of guy if we won't be seeing Lee in the second season.

Kiel555 · 09/15/2012, 10:37 pm

Hmmmm...that's not a bad idea. In the novel Rise of the Governor, there is a female named April that would make a great protagonist. She's more of a tomb raider type but she likes kids so throw in another 1st grader and we could be set for season 2.

Noname215 · 09/15/2012, 10:37 pm

Fuck that. Men are the ultimatum in zombie flicks. All girls can do is scream and fall down.

I’m not sexist, it’s just alway been that way

Cyreen · 09/15/2012, 10:41 pm

That's odd, seeing as it's Lee that does all the falling down in this season.

It was an action platformer.

As far as character is concerned then aside from the TnA I'm not very impressed with the character of Lara Croft, same with the protagonists in dead island who are just caricatures (it's trailer was the best thing about it).

Telltale should do what Telltale does best with season 2, if they have a female protagonist (which I'm not against, my second favourite adventure game has a female protagonist) make her flawed, throw in some shades of grey, give her some depth and allow us to empathise with her situation like we do with Lee.

Master of Aeons · 09/15/2012, 11:09 pm

Jeez. Does it have to be marketed as Tomb Raider? You know, there can be better female heroes than Lara "Stare At My Tits" Croft.

Female protagonist, yes. Marketably female, NO.

Rather harsh words for not being sexist...

Telltale does a really good job with women characters in this game in my opinion. Aside from Lilly later on, the women characters are more or less the most rational and sensible characters in the game. They also do that thing I love of making great women characters who do not need to be sexed up to be strong and compelling individuals. Heck, they actually put MORE layers on Carley each episode and she is still attractive and interesting.

I'm totally for a female lead if they can make them interesting. It would be nice to have more strong, non-fantasized portrayals of women in gaming. And no, I don't want a Lara Croft in TWD. Maybe a Carla Valenti (Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy) or something like that.

Master of Aeons · 09/15/2012, 11:39 pm

GOD, Carla wasn't much better. She was sure in a hurry to give up her job to play girlfriend to the popsicle boy of the apocalypse. I don't like any women David Cage writes. They're all sorta-tough, then seek trouble and get in over their heads, then fall in love for no reason.

I agree 100% That's what I meant when I said Telltale would do a female protagonist justice because you know they wouldn't just throw some short-shorts and a tank top on her and say "now go kill some zombies."

From what I've seen of the female characters in season 1, I think they could do us women justice, instead of being all "Witcher 2" type girls.

Ok, here´s a crazy idea...What if Lee survives?

Master of Aeons · 09/16/2012, 01:45 am

I said that Lee should cameo in the second series in the circumstances you left him. Maybe he's still protecting Clem. Maybe he's barely alive and living without a reason. That way we can still see Lee and have a new protagonist, even a woman.

Then maybe he can have a cameo or something?

Do people really like Lee that much?

His Voice Actor is amazing, I must admit.

tbh, I cant see Lee surviving, unless it's a cliffhanger type (did he survive?) ending. Too many people have fallen around him for him to get through it unscathed.

Master of Aeons · 09/16/2012, 01:59 am

Honestly, I find anyone's survival unlikely.
