Well, this kind of crept up on me but as one of the few people who still cares about this series (and Telltale games in general), I was pretty excited to jump back into it and was very pleasantly surprised at just how invested I was in the story again right from the jump. I don't know if it was ever mentioned in the promotion for this season but I had no idea that Clem was no longer the main character. It caught me off guard but I think I feel okay about it. Javier, so far, is a pretty good character in his own right and it's not like Clem is completely gone. I was disappointed, however, to see that the game seemed to have completely throw out your ending from Season Two, at least so far. I ended season 2 with Jane but there hasn't been a single mention of her and all the flashbacks are of Clem and AJ on their own. I ended up looking this up and apparently, Jane is suppose to be in the flashback if you ended up with her but I guess I must have messed something up? Overall though, I was really impressed with the two episodes even if it's pretty much the same formula you're used to. And hey, we finally got that new engine that we've wanted for years. Anyway, let's talk choices.
EPISODE 1
- I chose to stay the night in the junkyard. This is the kind of decision that you absolutely know is a horrible idea but I wanted to make the kids happy and I figured some bad shit is gonna happen anyway so what the hell.
- I chose to let the driver go. I'm not about shooting unarmed people.
- I got locked up. I'm not sure there's anyway to avoid this unless you completely rat out Clem, in which case, you're a monster.
- I went with Eleanor to the junkyard. At the time, Tripp seemed like kind of an asshole (he obviously proves himself not to be later on) and time definitely seemed of the essence.
- I stayed with Clementine at the junkyard. Your surrogate daughter gets shot in the head in front of you, I don't care who you are, you're gonna want to shoot back.
EPISODE 2
- I stayed out of the fight between Kate and David. You're in someone else's home, I'm not in the business in getting myself involved in husband and wife arguments.
- I surrendered to the New Frontier. She ended up dead anyway but I wasn't gonna come into someone else's settlement and get someone killed because of my bullshit.
- I took "Jesus" on his word. This whole thing is weird. When he first popped up, I actually thought "what is this guy supposed to be Jesus or something?", I didn't expect to be that spot on. Anyway, who am I to not trust Jesus?
- I killed Conrad. Again, if Telltale thinks at any point in this series I'm selling out Clem, they're wrong.
- I capitulated to New Frontier's demands. Seemed like the only smart decision to me. That twist at the end was something though. Solid stuff.
