Questions for the Walking Dead team!

[delight]

I have a question/suggestion

How will season 2 continue from our saves? Isnt it easier before the first episode of season 2 starts, to give us boxes/options to just click which choices we made in season 1

unfortunately some of us were stupid enough to delete the game from the harddrive (and with that also the savegames).

[Vladisimo]

Any release date for episode 6 from season 2? Or at least some clues or puzzles/whatever.

It will likely be named episode 1, not 6. That's how they've done it so far.

Well I saw this article (http://www.videogamesblogger.com/201...-confirmed.htm) and this is why I called it episode 6.

Anyway please TTG give us a release date of the first episode or some kind of cryptic clue to deduce from, please.

If it's a seperate game, I understand what you said, then the main character wouldn't be affected by as he had no idea about Lee Everett or the group? Or the main character will be The guy walking on the hill, after their group is fallen apart and you will face consequences of the choices that you had made in season 1 (How Clem reacts to you etc)?

Having completed the game eight times, making different decisions throughout. Can you, for the next game, make the decisions really matter. I understand that most was for Clementines benefit for survival, but they didn't really make any odds on who was going to live or die.
For example with Duck. He gets bitten no matter how quickly you shoot the walker. What would have been preferable is if you shot the walker quickly he lives, if not then he gets bitten etc.
Same goes for Carly/Doug, could there have been an option to save him/her if you moved quickly enough to stop Lily.
The characters then could interact with the player, in a much more realistic way. By all means kill them off later in the game, but do it in such a way that maybe one or two survives, directly because of the players actions or inaction's.
Other than the points raised, I found this game one of the best I have ever played and long may it continue.
I hope you consider what I have wrote, as for me personally, it was the only thing I was disappointed with.
Saying that though, I look forward to the next installment with great anticipation along with everyone else.

Will the choices i make in WD season2 actually make a diffence?In season 1 choices made little to no diffence to the story.Except Doug or Carly choice.Leaving very little replay value.
My ONLY problem with game.

I have a question:

It has recently come to my attention, that Molly was suppose to have a larger role, than she ended up having in the final game.

What made you change your mind about Mollys role, and why?

[RabidMonkey]

My question is:

Would you consider making an "alternate version" of season 1?

My meaning is that we can make more decisions and possibly save certain people but it won't be considered in the games official canon. For example you pour all your "affection" into Lilly and in doing so you can save Carley/Doug from being shot. This would allow you to save a character but would make the game a whole lot harder as Kenny would hate your guts. Some deaths e.g Duck and Katjaa would be unavoidable as that is almost essential to the Kenny issue but with Carley/Doug Lilly could still leave feeling that everyone is against her etc.

[mrkareemruiz]

My question is: Can you make Clem remember everything Lee told her in the next game?

[Sotter]

Due to fact that I am tapping on my smartphone, I am gonna be short. Could you add a "coin" feature just like in kongregate so that people can purchase this game and others as well via paysafe? It's much simpler, easier (you just buy a16 digit code card and that's it. ) and much safer (no precious data can be stolen and you are safe from a Cyprus case.)

I don't remember Molly having a larger role than she does. I mean... maybe in one version of the episode four story she was in it for a few more scenes, but I'm not sure. Episode 4 went through more revisions than any other episode, and characters came and went, and their roles grew and shrank, as it was being developed. Molly is one who seems to have remained pretty consistent to my memory, though.

This isn't likely, sorry! We're pretty comfortable with how the choices worked in Season One. That doesn't mean other Telltale games will be identical to The Walking Dead Season One, just that we're not going to go back and change it all around. We like where it ended up. Speaking of...

It feels (to me at least) like Lee had power over the things he would realistically have power over, and is frustrated by the things he can't change. We don't want players to feel cheated, but we also don't want them to feel like they are the all-powerful gods of the universe who can change the story and other characters to do whatever they want. In real life would "pouring affection" into someone guarantee that they do what you want? I don't think so! Only in video games is that allowed, and it starts to fall apart if you want to have NPCs who act more like real people, with their own wills and whims separate from yours.

It's a balancing act for us, for sure -- how much does your will as the player actually change the course of other characters and the plot -- and I won't say that where Season One landed is perfect. We have a long way to go and a lot more to work with to get that balance and feeling right. There's always room to improve and to try new things. The Wolf Among Us pushes this in new directions which I think you'll find exciting, and of course with future Walking Dead games we will be playing with and tweaking how the player's balance of power works. We won't be going back and re-doing Season One, though!

Last time I heard official word from anyone it was an interview which said "hold on to your season one save games!" But we don't have anything to say about future Walking Dead games beyond that, including which characters (if any) will show up in them!

This is well out of my pay grade, sorry! Our web guys read this board, so maybe they will see this and find it interesting, but it is beyond my brain.

I have a question for Jake;-
Are there any season 2 tidbits you can give us? Confirmed things or even just 'likely' things?
For example, are we allowed to know if we will see Clem again? Or will it be a whole new story?
Pretty much any info at all you're happy to share so us in the forums feel special

I'm just going to quote Jake from above:

We don't have any info to share on Season 2 just yet, but you can be sure we'll start talking when the time comes!

[Jake]

What she said what I said.

[o0HeaDShoT0o]

Here's a question I'd like to ask; Do the stats get changed if we go back and make different choices or does it remain the same based on what we did the first time no matter how many times we replay?

[FoxxyFox]

Sorry that I have to ask this but at 10th May we get in germany the retail version. How to the stats work there in the retail version ? Do any stats will be shown? Yeah, I could answer that question on my own but since this is the questions thread I'm gonna ask right away. haha

Aunt Edit(h) must say something: Why was the dream cutscene from Carley cut with involving "Sam" ?

[rafcio]

Can we get a rough date by which we might hear more news about TWD?

No dates as yet! Definitely stay tuned to the Facebook page, the Telltale Games Twitter, and our blog though. When we have news, it'll be announced via those channels for sure.

And probably on half of the gaming "journalism" websites. News travel real quick when it comes to TWD.
