Honestly I’m happy with Ben’s ranking. I thought he was a sympathetic character. He really did try to do good stuff, he just always screwed it up.

Frrr, in the end Clem ends up alone and joins the new frontier. I think the choices didn’t really matter since season 2 switched its writers each episode. So a lot of opinions were present. Wasted potential honestly, would love to know what happened to bonnie, arvo, Mike and Christa.

It really feels like they had to make him insanely unreasonable in order for the player to have a reason to dislike him and his community which isn’t realistic at all (he’d have been killed sooner by his own followers if that was the case) would 100% follow a more level headed carver in an apocalypse. Also Kenny is the 🐐 if you leave him at the end of season 2 it really shows how awesome of a character he is

[@GyutaroUpper6]

He could have been, but when you decide to imprison people you make enemies, and in a world like TWD if you have too many enemies you die.

[@clownworld4655]

@@GyutaroUpper6 exactly. That was the major problem I saw with him as a leader. Don’t force people to rejoin the group (which is what led to his downfall) and be more reasonable overall. The best example of this was with Sarah refusing to work. He should have at least given her a few days to settle in before losing his temper and taking it out on that one armed dude (forgot his name), but he definitely did give him plenty of chances considering he betrayed him. Without those problems (which I really think they added to stop the player from completely siding with him) he would have been exactly what is needed in an apocalypse. I didn’t even mind his way of distilling discipline since the world isn’t soft anymore and people need to adapt or die, or his view of raising a stronger next generation in order for humanity to survive

[@AHappyBlackGuy]

What’s funny is that when the group leaves Carver almost all of them die. Also they lead the Walkers to Howe’s which gets that whole community to fall apart and I’m sure many of those people were innocents so really if you think about it Kenny and Luke are assholes for thinking of that plan 😂

My personal favorite is Clementine, and my least was Badger. You and I mostly agree on everything, but I liked Louis more than Violet. I feel like Louis was the relationship Clem needed to be in, due to his goofier and laid-back personality, which contrasted with Clem's personality very well. Idk, just I feel like Clem needed a little goofiness, more than Violet's seriousness. And the Piano scene, and Date scene with Louis was really cute.

[@Lemonincense]

i truly do think that if louis was less attractive, people would pick violet by a landslide. she actually helps around the community (apparently impossible for louis to do..) and doesnt try to get people killed. louis has lived in this apocalypse for a decade but i cant figure out how he survived day 1 lol. clem would never date a straight up child and i really do not see their chemistry. violet actually fits into BOTH the minerva storyline AND the tenn storyline wayyy better than louis does. when you pick violet, it leaves the story feeling much more complete. if you pick louis, it gives you much less incentive to care at all about minnie or tenn's storylines

the first playthrough I ever saw was the violet route, and it's still the one I prefer to this day. especially because I think violet completes clem more in a romantic relationship than louis would because I think he completes her well in a platonic relationship. even though at one point louis asks clem if shes ever had a boyfriend, imo and how I personally saw their relationship (especially when you find out louis got his tongue cut out, depending on what you choose, and despite his initial disliking towards clem and aj) as more of a sibling relationship. the way they protect each other and act at the end of the last episode when they're sitting at the table gives me such sibling vibes. you could for sure say louis's route is more fun and cute, but I think violet is still a better match for clem, and they are both what each other needs. violet can still be just as soft and sweet as louis without being as energetic as him.

[@zalomanakbar2350]

Gabe was the right choice, because it showed just how similar to David he was. It put Gabe in a very tight spot because he had to either show loyalty to his dad, who he hasn't been with through his formative years, or his uncle, who has looked out for him during the apocalypse. Mariana's death was also a good catalyst for how cruel some of the New Frontier members were, and how unnecessary of an act it truly was. Mariana being such a kind-hearted character only made the act even more heinous.

My biggest complaint with season 3 is that the writers killed/ended the scenario the player chooses in No Going Back in a flashback.

I agree with most of your rankings! Though I think Nick, Pete and Tripp deserved to be higher. Nick to me always felt really sympathetic. He shot Matthew, yeah, but he had to put down his mom and had *just* lost his father figure that week. Kenny did a bunch of messed up stuff as a result of his grief, so Nick gets a pass in my book as well. His desire to be as motivated as Luke, his willingness to tell the truth about Matthew and the fact that he can basically sacrifice himself for Clem in the wine cellar makes him a great character in my mind. Morally questionable, but understandable and redeemable. Pete was just a really reasonable guy. He was the only one who respected Clem in the beginning (aside from Luke) and his last speech in episode 2 was really powerful imo. The depth they gave him with his rocky relationship with Nick was nice and added a lot to him. He was easily one of the best Season 2 characters imo. Tripp was difficult at times, true, but the dude lost his entire community. It's reasonable that he wouldn't be the most pleasant guy to be around. The fact that he's willing to repeatedly risk his life to help Javi despite him being the reason that Prescott fell is really admirable. He was also willing to forgive Javi choosing Ava (someone he barely knew) over him. He was just really nice despite being a bit of a jackass at times.

[@tigertempertantrum6573]

I agree with all of this. I admittedly never thought of Nick in that way before; you're right, he's definitely better than I gave him credit for. It's a shame that, after Episode 2, he basically never does anything that important ever again and sort of just fades into the background. :)

[@CKProductions-07]

Louis is by far the best character in season 4 over Violet, if I am being honest. He actually is the one character in the season where you have to actively put in the effort to rebuild a relationship after when AJ kills Marlon Louis's best friend, and there is conflict tension between him and Clementine that you cannot avoid. The conflict and tension between him and Clem add to his arc and make Clem and Louis's romance feel more natural and believable. And with that conflict, tension makes Clem and Louis's love story more compelling than two people who agree with each other(Violet and Clem). Plus, if you choose to appeal to Louis during the Marlon Confrontation, he holds back because he has been afraid to go up against his best friend for years, like his brother over a girl, and you can tell Marlon is manipulating Louis to keep his head down. But when Louis chooses to defend Clementine over his best friend, Louis stands in front of the gun, so his best friend has the gun on him, and Louis goes in there unarmed to de-escalate the situation. And Clem's words of dialogue, "You let him shoot me really? Just so you don't have to be involved. I thought you were more than that" I think it got under Louis's skin a bit and a character shift for him to want to do more to defend the group. If you notice in episode 2, where Louis wanted to practice Archery before the big fight instead of going to board up the back hallway, it wasn't because he wanted to be lazy. He felt helpless during the confrontation with Marlon and Clementine, and he wants to play an active role in helping defend the group. So he tried to get into the practice of shooting at the raiders before they came and be a defender instead of a jokester. I think Clementine's words, "I thought you were more than that." had an impact on Louis and influenced Louis to be a more reliable character .

[@CKProductions-07]

@@Lemonincense Clem and Louis have chemistry right off the bat, you see it in episode 1 when we are introduced to Louis as a character. In every scene when it is just Clem and Lou together, there is fire chemistry between the looks they give each other. You are actively trying not to see it. And Louis actually does grow and have much of a character arch than Violet. if you watch and pay attention to his speech and how he talks and moves past the "childish" ways, he reveals something more than what he actually puts up. The childish act is his defense mechanism, the same way Violet comes off as being cold and hardened. For example, in episode 1, if you choose to go hunting with him and Aasim instead of Violet, he will never think about the future and live in the present here and now. Now being with Clementine, that all changes when you get to the final episode, where he sees and looks at a future. In fact if you walk with him back to the school, he is the one who suggests wanting to build a dream house in the future. That is a big step for Louis to do from episode 1. And actually if you pick Louis, he actually would address that Violet's eyes are not infected and cares for Violet. Violet never mentions to Clem that Louis is doing ok when he gets his tongue cut off. In all honesty here, I think Minerva holds Violet back a lot. Even if you romance Clem with Vi, Vi will always side with Minnie. With having Violet have an ex girlfriend Vi will always be conflicted with being loyal to her ex lover or with her new love. WIth Vi it is always 1 step forward two steps back with her when Minnie is around. And it is clear that Vi is not over Minnie and there is still love in her heart for Minevra which spells trouble for Vi and Clem's relationship. And another thing, Vi and Clem do not challenge each other when one of them does something wrong, and no relationship in the world do you agree with each other 100% of the time and have some disagreements from time to time. It is not a real relationship then. Couples fight, and relationships always have some form of conflict in them. If a relationship has zero conflict, is isn't a real relationship and seems fake. With Violet it is a choice to have a conflict with her and Clem. With Louis it is fixed. No matter the outcome of your choice, you will have to deal with resolving a conflict between Clem and Lou. Romance or friendship, you will have a choice to rebuild that relationship with Louis.

personally i love the guy who kidnapped clementine's backstory like the car they found in s1 in the woods was his wife and daughters they were hungry and blamed him the tried to run away from them and they got killed by a walker the next morning and he found their bodies on the road

[@theyoungknight.3119]

[@12354rony]

Chuck, Christa and Omid are definitely deserving of the S tier for me. Jane deserves C for how badly they fucked up her character in that last episode. Kenny's pointless s3 death would forever live as the biggest grievance telltale did in any of their games, just imagine his interactions with Lilly in s4... In general I prefer any well written character I know the backstory of and actually care about positively or negatively over a character made to fill blank space and can be killed of to be replaced by another. Just don't make their actions suddenly out of characters, illogical or irrational and I'm good lol.

I honestly would've put Conrad farther because if you do somehow keep Conrad Alive then he is really a nice and forgiving guy later on and seems to be at peace in the end. :On a side note he is EXTREMELY hard to keep alive and I've seen multiple deaths for him in the past, telltale even did a Easter egg where if you kept him alive he thanks you for keeping him alive

youre generous putting sarah in B tier if this was my list she wouldve been in D instantly

[@magnatemagic7391]

I think it's just because it shows an interesting dynamic of how some people would actually act in the apocalypse... due to their parents pampering them and making them believe the world isn't bad leads them to have no chance at survival nor the desire to survive once they find out how bad the world is, I think it was done perfectly... though playing it makes you be annoyed with her

[@Ender41948]

@@magnatemagic7391 I feel like there was a lot of potential for her character to grow. Maybe a way that Clem could teach her to survive in a similar way that Lee did for her. It would've been interesting character growth, and led to an interesting dynamic due to the age/maturity gap swinging in the opposite direction between them. I think that's the main thing that annoys me about Sarah's character.

Violet in the S tier. The only S4 character in the S tier. Great choice. She definitely has a timid personality and she doesn’t like new people sometimes until she gets used to them a few moments later, but she’s tough woman and has a good heart for Clem and AJ.

Having just started this, Lee 100% wanted to kill the senator for pure revenge. It's actually what kind of makes his character human and interesting, even if I don't personally agree with the lengths he'd go to for a simple cheat. That's the point

[@savagesalvage9449]

I'm going to stop you one more again. Carly is NOT the obvious choice for "who to save", that honor goes to Doug. The reason for this is simple: Doug is literally overcome by walkers in the window and Carly has one nipping at her shoes.. and it doesn't help that she has a gun in her hand. The game does not explain that she needs ammo in that moment, and even if it did, Doug is still easily the one in need of help

[@savagesalvage9449]

Carly could've survived in that scenario simply by being halfway intelligent, Doug was being swarmed by walkers. The choice is obvious

[@mikeyismysweetgloriousking]

Alternative story: you don’t get a choice to save Sarah or not in the house with Luke and Jane, you’re forced to save her. Then, when you save her the second time when the deck of that civil war museum building falls and Sarah falls down with it to the walkers, just like in the normal game you get the choice to send Jane down there or not. If you don’t send her, the game plays out like it normally does. But if you do, Jane and Sarah both die. The death of Jane causes Luke to be all sad and shit so he’s sorta sulking and walking behind the group, like lagging behind. Because of this he will be further away from everyone on the ice and won’t fall through. And then the game plays out as it normally was accept instead of Jane vs Kenny it’s Luke vs Kenny. I think this solves the main 3 problems with season 2, which are the fact that a lot of your choices don’t matter, the fact that Luke’s death is kinda pointless, and the fact that Kenny or Jane as a choice is kinda a no brainer
