I hope that you were trolling, for your sake.

For crying out loud, now you're threatening me?

I'm not making creative demands of Telltale here, I'm just offering an idea. That's it. How did you make the connection from that to being a troll?

Mornai · 02/07/2013, 02:00 pm

Interesting idea, but i highly doubt it will happen, for now at least. Telltale has already joked about a playable zombie character, and later mentioned that it was sarcastic. Thus, i think that sort of thing isn't on their priority list in the near future. Perhaps as some sort of DLC episode, bonus content kinda thing, or season 3? One never knows.

If I'd known it would cause Riadon to have a conniption fit, I wouldn't have posted it in the first place.

I prefer to think of you as a troll because no one could seriously believe that the your idea was feasible in the slightest. It is just ridiculous.

And how did I threaten you

Don't know Molly isn't in the poll, a lot of people would like her as a new PC.

As for me all new PC's that I can think off are not good enough. Clem wouldn't be able to affect group's decisions, Omid has set personality and just wouldn't be a good PC, Lilly is one of the most hated characters in the game after ep 3, random new character wouldn't be able to develop any relationship with Clem or at least it would take a long time.

The only options out of known characters are Christa and Molly.

Man, I wish Lee was still alive.

Yippieboy · 02/14/2013, 06:07 pm

I seriously doubt we'll play as someone that we've already seen

Anyone else here ever seen Romero's DAY OF THE DEAD? One of the principal characters is a semi-sentient zombie called Bub. Would it be possible to actually have a walker as a PC?

Let's say the military had managed to weather the zombie outbreak after all, and were conducting neurological experiments inside a high-security bunker to see if zombies can actually be rendered docile, since they'll only keep coming as long as people keep dying.

Depending on your actions in the last game, the PC could be an entirely new zombie (if Lee was shot by Clem), or, if you imported a save where you had Clementine leave Lee behind, you could take control of Lee again. The military would have captured either the new walker PC or Lee at random and proceeded with a complex type of brain surgery to restore the walker/Lee to a state of dim cognizance.

Now, initially the fact of whether you're a new walker or Lee has minimal impact when the game first starts out, since neither would have any memory of their previous existence. But as the story advances, you experience occasional "flashes" of your human life. In Lee's case, we'd see the most memorable moments from the first game, i.e. killing Larry in the locker, Kenny weeping over Duck's body, saying goodbye to Clem, etc. But if you were playing as the new PC walker, you'd see memories of a different life that you gradually piece together as you complete each episode.

I know this isn't taking into account other creative challenges of such a scenario, like Lee's missing arm, or that the player probably wouldn't enjoy shuffling from one location to another throughout the course of the game, but I'm just describing the bare outline.

What do you guys think? A little too extreme for S2?

That's actually a really cool idea

kierano87 · 02/15/2013, 06:05 am

Glenn would be pretty fun to play as

Arbitrator · 02/15/2013, 07:26 am

A woman probably. Maybe Christa and/or Omid.

lesbraun · 02/15/2013, 07:54 am

Christa's kid would be cool...
Christa and Omid would already be dead, and he/she somehow meets Clementine on the way.

QuarterPounderVlad · 02/15/2013, 08:23 am

Random Male gets my vote. I can't even bother to think that we'll play as Clementine. Yes. She's a great character, Yet how will it be playing as a kid. It would suck tremendously.
Yay for random male!

Gratefully Dead · 02/15/2013, 12:21 pm

We won't be playing as someone that they have established already. That wouldn't make any sense. Random Male is the likeliest looking at their target audience. If we're really lucky, maybe you can pick your gender at the beginning.

It's a stupid idea. This isn't Shaun of the Dead, it is a serious game about a serious subject matter. Anyone who genuinely wants the series to revolve around a "sentient" rotting corpse needs their head examined.

Anyone who is calling someone they've never even met mentally unsound for an idea they had is either a total asshat, or "needs their head examined."

I choose the former. New to the internet?
