TWD Season 2 speculation/suggestion (merged threads)

[Ryman]

Molly seems to be the perfect candidate in one scenario. The game instead of picking up at the very end where Clem is out in the field it starts off right around the time the boat gets stolen by Vernon and his group. Molly is still in the city. I'm sure she'd run into them and maybe get her arm patched up by Vernon if she got shot. Molly obviously would not go on the boat.

She'd probably run into Kenny, not wherever you left him to the horde but probably still fighting for his life. Save him and probably end up at the hotel. Find Campman and the walkie talkie Lee left behind. Probably find Lee in the Jewelry store somehow and either Kill Lee probably with the baseball bat Clem left laying right next to him or just mourning him if Clem killed him. Then they flee the completely overrun city and head towards the countryside where maybe not in episode 1 but 2 they'd run into Clementine or at least Omid and Christa or all three.

Obviously this is just rough bullet points but its certainly in the realm of reality that these events could occur in one way or another.

What are your thoughts on how season 2 could start?

[Kaserkin]

I don't know. Omid seems fine.

[FistoTheSexbot]

I think at the start we would see where omid and christa are, later on they would maybe find Clem, who would inform them about Lee. It would probaly shift to the person you are playing, walking towards a broken down RV, to search for food. You find a walker banging on the bathroom door, kill it, then find Lilly either dead / alive & dehydrated, you give her some water you got left, then stay for the night inside the RV, later on you wake up hearing Clem's voice saying "That's our groups RV!" then I don't know.

I know it's different if you didn't take Lilly with you but, she could have followed and taken the RV after you left on the train.

Problem with that is though is that Lily is in the comic book and she plays a pretty serious role in her brief time in the spotlight. Although its still very possible they could run into her with the way they left her in the comic and I hope they do in Season 2. It would certainly be an interesting event. Seeing Clem and Lily meeting up and Clem telling her what happened. See her response.

Hi there,
Telltale or will be developed in the second game of the season?
Sorry for my bad English

[LoneSpektre]

I may sound sexist but im not, trust me. But I would HATE to play as a female or Clem. I like RP'ing in games and playing as a girl totally ruins it for me. Im sure im not the only guy who thinks this.. and well, playing as a nine year old girl is even worse. I'd like a new male protagonist. Maybe an ex soldier, a character like Abe from the comics who can really take care of Clem. I hope Clem finds her way back to Omid and Christa and the 3 of them join with the new guy.

[Hamatula]

I think it's time to experience the story from Clem's perspective.

[SevenExxes]

New character with a new story.

I am 100% certain you will play a completely new character. Reason is that in a game like this the game needs you to be able to define your own character. You can't just slip into an existing NPC with known character-traits and go from there. Doesn't make sense and would be awful. So yea, you are neither playing Clem nor Christa/Omid or anyone else from S1.

Will you meet someone from S1? Likely, but the protagonist will be an undeveloped character for sure. And that's how it should be.

And I can't grasp that 35% of the people actually believe you will play as Clementine in Season 2. That's pure ridiculous.

[FistoTheSexbot]

I want to play as Kenny ( even tho chances are he is dead) Why you might ask?

Because of his sexy mustache, giving you the option to seduce women and men in a dialogue, and his strong muscles to fight of the horrible hoard of walkers, oh my... Imagine it, Kennny with no shirt fighting walkers with a big machete, the sun shining on his mustache.

[fruitpunchsamurai]

I want to play a slighty more mature Clementine, just a couple months older i guess. Her character is so awesome and after all that character development it would be a disservice to throw it away for a new character.

Plus when is the last time you got to play as a badass little girl in a zombie game? "Zombies Ate My Neighbors" come to mind, but that's about it

[JByrne]

I feel like playing as Omid or Christa would be a good choice, since we got to know them and like them enough that I wouldn't be all "BLERGH. WHO IS THIS PERSON WHO ISN'T LEE. AWAY WITH THEM.", but there's still enough 'empty space' in them to fill.

Like, they've come at the tail end of your journey, and they seem to have had it relatively safe and successful for now. Which also means they haven't been tested.

We got to know Kenny, Lily, Clementine, Ben and Lee (and ourselves) through how they act in a desperate situations. Not so much for Omid and Christa. So I feel there's room to grow there.

I sort of lean to Omid more because no matter how you sliced it with Lee, he seemed like a man with the weight of the world on his shoulders. Someone with a little bit of a more light-hearted personality might be interesting. On the other hand, I'd love to play Christa since she's got such a tough demeanor and dry sense of humour.


The other thing though is that part of the reason Lee worked was because you had Clementine. Without her, Lee wouldn't work. She gave the game and the character focus.

And you can't just replicate that. You can't just take the new protagonist and Clem and push for the same relationship because it will never ring as true as it could with Lee. And replacing her with another child or object of care and affection could end up even worse.

It's an interesting dilemma, and I'm really interested in seeing how Telltale approach it.

As a male, when I'm given the choice I usually play as a female character because great Female characters are woefully underrepresented in video games and I would absolutely love to play as one in the next season because I know Telltale would do a great job with one.

But as far as roleplaying, I don't care what gender it is because I've been able to connect fairly easily with both female and male protagonists

But I do agree with you that the lead in the next season shouldn't be Clementine but mostly because I want to see how lee's actions and words affected her and not have my input mucking up any character development she's going through

Clementine was about as developed as Lee was when you first met her. You helped her shape her new personality in the zombie world. We made her tough! I think it's possible to play as Clem in S2.

Plus it's not like we decided who Lee was from scratch. Lee was always a convicted murderer with a messed up family life.

I'm so agree with you sir.

[fruitpunchsamurai]

Oh yeah, i want Molly back for Season 2. (Perhaps as the protagonist?) Very cool character and she left too early!

[Hamatula]

But if you don't bring Clementine to the Crawford, she dies. It doesn't sound likely that she will be in season 2.

[short_stack]

yes they said its in production
