The Walking Dead Game - FAQ and open discussion!

[SpookySin]

You say it's a brand new cast on this game. Then is Glenn one of the original cast members? Cause he is from the walking dead series. And Hershel?

I just noticed something in episode 1. When you save Carley and Doug gets bitten by walkers, listen closely and he does a Wilhelm scream.

yes. those were just brief references to the comics. neither character plays a big role. If you didn't notice, Lilly is from the comic too

Glenn, Hershal, and Lilly are all members from the comics, but Glenn and Hershal were mainly used for fan service and to start the story. Lilly wasn't shown much in the comics, so Telltale decided to tell her story before she... does some spoilery stuff.

Everyone else are original characters though.

is it just me or did anyone else keep confusing the reporter girl with larrys daughter?
they look so similar, sound similar and they have very little character.

larrys daughter had no leadership qualities except having a big dad, why was she leader? reporter girl had more balls than larrys daughter did and that aint saying much, why didnt they make reporter girl look totally different from Larrys daughter ( as i have heard she is in the comics and couldnt be changed) she could have been a busty blonde or whatever, just something that would make people se the difference from far away

Put the gun down bitch!

Ya know what? Fuck you Larry, Eat up!

I like Carley's design. I agree that Lilly and Carley have the same facial features, but Carley has shorter hair as well as a shorter height.

i dont know about you but i decided to avoid as much as possible about the game until i played it so i was seeing these characters for the first time (and i have a problem remembering names) so unless one of them was holding a gun or talking about her dad i couldn't always tell the difference, height and hair length are very minor details.

i think its a bad idea to have actors in films or tv that look the same in the same show, but at least they have an excuse of saying that the actors were just the best for the role, but this is a game they could have made one different looking just so everything is clear right from the beginning, in real life it isnt much of a problem, but in films and games people have to be different enough to remember them separately,
eg. kenny has a handle bar moustache and larry is big old and mean looking

If I may ask, what happens if you side with Lilly in the meat locker?

nothing changes, kenny does the deed , but kenny will not like you as much but lilly will like you more

[Master of Aeons]

You help resuscitate her dad with a clickable chest to administer CPR. If you click enough times, he stirs just before Kenny interrupts with the same action as in the other decision.

[Vainamoinen]

Actually, you can keep up the CPR one or two beats even after Larry's head is smashed, which happened the first time I played. That is so gross.

that could be proof that he was a zombie rather than proof he may have been saved, no zombie like to be touched by humans

Try it. It's awesome trying alternatives and helps you to see another points of view. I saw Kenny hater's point when I played again and sided with Lilly.

But that didn't happen in my real playthrough.

[Milosuperspesh]

i don't believe in this larry was alive thing to me it still looks like hes moving from the cpr and nothing more...

[Ciremi]

Loving the game so far, Telltale. I was concerned that there would be a lot of "episodic asset recycling," but you guys have gone out of your way to avoid that, and that is fantastic.

The game really does match the style of the books very well. I picked this season up during the Steam Summer Sale, and am actually disappointed that I'm now all caught up, because now the wait to mid-August seems devastating.

The visual style, the voice acting, the characters and the way you vary up the gameplay -- these are all flawless. Keep it up guys.

I never really had a hard time confusing the two from each other. Aside from the physical differences (i.e. shorter hair, height). They both have contrasting personalities, but then again that's based on my choices from playing. Lilly seemed to be more confrontational, definitely not like Larry, but she was definitely an argumentive character. Carley seemed to be more....reasonable/rational when it came to difficult situations.
