[@emstink]

@@aliakhtar8622 Right?? Like people are saying that they kept the camp up to try to keep a pretence of normalcy to the outside world. But closing a summer camp isn't exactly a crazy, out-of-character thing to do? They could've easily said any number of things to close the summer camp. The game could've easily explained it by saying they desperately needed money and the camp was the only income they could get? Especially since in-game they show Travis spending A LOT of money on cages (which inconveniently none of the werewolves ever use, so poor Travis)

[@daefaron]

@@emstink Actually, it's brought up that they had been using them for six years. Caleb and Kaylee busted out and refused to be locked up because they got sick of it this time. And there is a letter of them asking for donations from parents to "help fund lodge renovations" which is partly true with the chimmey. So until this run, they only had the three werewolves (and all three were locked up) with Silas being out in the wild. Caleb and Kaylee locked up in the house, Chris locked up at the house or under the lodge. Quite literally everything could've been avoided if two things had happened. A: Caleb and Kaylee agreed to lock up. and/or B: Jacob hadn't sabotaged the van. Edit: or at least, they had been using them or some method for a while.

The white wolf death would save everyone. Yet they kept allowing people to be effected. Dan shoots the peoole who clearly aren't the werewolves and just sends him down a spiral of fails. Ontop of this if they just contained the werewolves better they be able to hunt the white wolvf alone

[@Agent-Ig]

Entire struggles of the game could of been avoided if Chris had told the counsellors that his brother and dad would be coming to check on them and to stay inside till then. Then when the dad and bro show up, they spend a few mins explaining to the counsollers what’s going on. If Kaylee, Chris and Caleb had actually gone to the cages below the mansion as was planned and just stayed in there for the night while they turned, then there wouldn’t of been any people getting hurt by werewolves who arnt Silas. Alternatively Kaylee, Chris and Caleb could of hung out on the island. They can’t get off the island and are still safe. Meanwhile Travis could of gone ahead and told Laura of the plan. Asked her to come on the hunt aswell, in order to save Max. After that first full moon where she saw Max transform, she should be on board enough to be given the full information, and maybe sent on a trip to gather up some silver. Family and Laura then go ahead and hunt down Silas. Pick up Max at the end of the night from the prison cell, which can hold him. There is literally no way to identify between werewolves from what I can see. They all look the same. So why tf would anybody chance it by having members of their family running about while they hunt another werewolf.

[@chiefpurrfect8389]

The characters in these games don't act like people. If they acted intelligently there wouldn't be a story- which, really says a lot about the plot of these lol

The question I'm asking is this: "WHY THE FUCK DID YOU HOLD A SUMMER CAMP WHERE YOU'VE BEEN ACTIVELY HUNTING A DEADLY WEREWOLF FOR THE PAST SIX YEARS?" Is no one going to address this?

[@Pamelalrene]

And what about the July full moon??

[@daefaron]

@@Pamelalrene Apparently on the calendar or somewhere you can see a note about required slumber party so all the kids are locked up in cabins. Also, from what I've read and see (Jacksepticeye's playthrough) for the past six years there have been four werewolves. At least after the first bit, only Silas was free during all these periods (and he's mentioned traveling up and down the coast some) Chris, caleb, and Kaylee all got locked up on the full moons. In the prologue, Chris is locked up under the lodge, Caleb and Kaylee are locked up in/under the house. The two teens then rebel because they are sick of being locked up every full moon and want to get outside attention/help hunting Silas, so they refuse to lock up/break out of the cells this full moon. Hence why the counselors get attacked, because Caleb and Kaylee are roaming free (as is Silas).

[@thundersaur1237]

Which all in all makes Caleb and Kaylee all to blame. While their action of freeing Silas was out of good will, their one decision of deciding not to get locked up was pretty awful, especially given that they were basically just roaming free, free to kill literally anyone who passed by the roads, though they weren't given any information on the counsellors staying that night.

I'm sorry but I'm gonna have to disagree heavily. As someone who consumes a shit ton of horror the characters in Until Dawn are incredibly cliche compared to The Quarry. The Until Dawn cast quite literally has the whole cliche gang, The Final Girl, The Jerk Jock, The Bitch, The Crying Girl, etc. Not to mention how their reason for being up on the mountain is much more bullshity than that of The Quarry. The Quarry also generally has much more depth to their characters because really, the ones in Until Dawn don't have much beneath their archetype, really they all come down to "which other character do they have a crush on" I love both games, but The Quarry is a huge step up for character.

It was the same thing in Until Dawn. They had the dude with the flamethrower consistently refuse to elaborate at all simply until the plot needed to. He would just chase after the main characters and give very vague and cryptic help until he spouted exposition and promptly died. More of a convenient plot tool than an actual character. While it’s improved in The Quarry since the hunters have actual stakes in the story instead of solely existing to help the main characters and give exposition, it’s still not great. Like you said: in both Until Dawn and The Quarry, simply sitting the main characters down and explaining it would solve the entire plot. Not to mention the fact that the conflict didn’t even have to exist in the first place; Until Dawn, for all of its flaws, had a fair enough premise for all of them being trapped on the mountain with the monsters. The framing device for this one is just so flimsy. Chris Hackett really couldn’t have squeezed those kids into his car, if there were fucking *werewolves* running around? He couldn’t have bussed them to the Harbinger Motel, a place already established by the Hacketts to be a safe place?

@@PointsofData i was mainly criticizing the fact that the character has a motivation to do that in the first place, but sure, it was under the player's control. however, the QTE to "Stop Laura" shows up with no context and there's no way for the player to know what they're stopping her from doing. you have no idea what action you would be taking, in a game full of huge consequences for not thinking about your decisions, but if you decide to not stop her she just straight up kills nick

[@PointsofData]

@@timob1681 she kills Nick because there's no way to tell werewolves apart and all she cares about is saving her boyfriend. It's in character for her to just start blasting. And sure it's a sudden QTE but there IS some context; you're in a place where stealth is vital, with a werewolf caged up. WHATEVER it is that Laura is doing, you should probably stop it. If you picked up on Laura's impulsive, tunnel vision motivations then you can guess that it has something to do with the werewolf.

I worked at a summer camp for almost 4 months one summer, and while this game doesn't generally show an understanding of what real humans are like, in this case it does. When I worked at camp, I only became close with a small number of coworkers because I was usually so busy with the kids. So unless I co-lead a cabin or worked directly with them (in my case in the barn with the horses), I wouldn't have been more than acquaintances with them. That being said, several of these characters and a bunch of the dialogue feel like they were written by aliens who's only education on humans came from the Twilight series and fanfic based on it.

[@guppo26]

Yeah, I agreed with RT that the way that scene was set up purposefully made it seem like shooting Silas was a bad option. Perhaps they could've made Silas the only werewolf still somewhat concious, realizing you posed no threat cause you didn't shoot him in the back and just leaving, or only killing the sheriff or something.

[@felisazure1820]

You know, I think I understand now why the writing in this just really doesn't work and the writing in Until Dawn worked so well (though isn't perfect of course). In Until Dawn, when the writing felt awkward it was in a very purposeful and relatable way. You could really feel that all the characters wanted to make this work and have fun, but were struggling due to past drama in the group and clashing personalitis. Even more than that, I personally often felt rewarded for being kind/a team player or sensible while playing. In this, the awkwardness comes from the characters feeling so unnatural and forced, and in the few times you can be nice characters either have horribly unendearing reactions or just act like a holes. There's no reason to try to be nice or civil with any of them, and forget being sensible because almost all the characters throw toddler-esque fits whenever you have another character suggest a good idea for once. What really pisses me off is that some of these characters (like Detective Pikachu guy) had sensible ideas scenes earlier and are now encouraging you to make a stupid one (like with the gun). Until Dawn gave you way more options for the relationships or survival as well, while this game just has the characters choose to be jerks/idiots by themselves. Very fun to watch RT play it and rip into the writing, because I just can't understand the hype around this one.

​@@Username-wh2ij If you mean gameplay-wise, no it really doesn't. Correct me if I'm wrong but from what I've looked into, the way characters interact with each other in this game has no real consequences like in Until Dawn. There are no special scenes or outcomes for being a complete asshole towards someone. Although Until Dawn didn't have many, there were a few differences and unique scenes that could happen depending on your relationships with certain characters. Mike being rude to Jessica determines how much she gets undressed in the cabin Matt being rude to Emily will cause her to shit talk him in the end credits scene as opposed to showing concern for his safety And shooting Ashley with the BB gun will cause her to let Chris die while he's being chased by the wendigo.

Also I like how they just kinda gave up with choices near the end. The fact that with Max you have "Stay or Swim" and making the wrong choice is just instant death... Was there even any indication that there was a werewolf just waiting on the other side?

[@edgybubblegum6404]

while its never shown in this game, the wendigos in until dawn have a full scene of all out brutal war against eachother so i don't doubt the werewolves would try to kill eachother

[@PopeMical]

​@@edgybubblegum6404 The werewolves do also seem to have an unnatural/incredible hunger... so yeah maybe they would fight each other if they couldn't easily find food.

[@green_pikmin]

I think they pretty much ignore each other, since you can see in Kevins playthrough anyone showing signs of the infected was not attacked by other werewolves

[@PopeMical]

​@@green_pikmin Yeah I hadn't seen those scenes when I made my original comment and they just leave me more confused. The werewolves are shown to be incredibly aggressive and hungry and yet it just stops when it notices that you are infected enough. They don't even seem to back off when greatly threatened.... If it wasn't for the fact that there are signs of them attacking other animals I'd just say they just have an unnatural hatred for humans and move on. The more I learn about these werewolves the more I think that their actions purely exist to further the game plot along instead of being treated like actual creatures

[@DespOIcito]

@@PopeMical there was the point about ignoring the scent of werewolf blood so maybe it's the smell of humans specifically that draws them in? another werewolf likely won't smell as... appetising? to them is my guess

I can’t believe it but I’m actually so glad I decided to watch this play through instead of play the game myself, because your dynamic with the characters is the funniest shit ever and is enhancing the experience tenfold. You’re like the world’s most poorly assigned nanny. You fucking HATE these kids but you’re a good enough person to want to take care of them and look out for their wellbeing and the resulting frustration and exasperation is amazing

Despite the dialogue, the actors do a great job with what they're given. They make the writing much more bearable then it would be

The only good lines that dont make me cringe are bobbys. We all love big bobby, the thing he says when you stab him is " you stabbed me! I aint never been stabbed before! Daddy!". Bobby is truly wonderful

I need a DLC where it's Jacob just making the executive decision to not be a dumbass and a menace to society - it will be a short game, but I will at least not be angry.

[@kkachi560]

dylan is going to die from blood loss. they're not even trying to make like a tourniquet or anything he's just putting pressure on it lmfao (who knows maybe they get smarter in a little bit)

[@pochiche6398]

kinda unsettling knowing they're counselors and there are lots of things that could happen to children in a camp lol.

[@trash_ferret_]

Fun fact: unless you actually know how to make a tourniquet, you actually shouldn't try to make one most times. It can be more harmful than good if you do it wrong. The more you know

[@darkpixel1128]

@@trash_ferret_ i believe a belt can work as a tourniquet, but it can result in compartment syndrome or damage to veins. Still better than bleeding out though.

[@axdonat]

@@darkpixel1128 belt is bad, you need a really thick band for a tourniquet one of my teachers is in the military and he had us go thru first aid on a week long trip, you can diy a tourniquet pretty safely with some thick strips of fabric and a pencil or stick, but knowing these dumbasses they'd put it in the wrong spot anyway (always high and tight - so near groin, near armpit) if the tourniquet is a thick band it's safe to wear for a pretty long time (many hours, probably would've been okay for dylan), but it hurts like a bitch with that said dylan would irl die without a tourniquet bc ryan went straight thru veins and arteries + hands bleed like a bitch. without intense pressure for at least 30 minutes he would bleed out real quick (from what i remember you can bleed out from a neck artery in 2 mins, so it is very serious) tldr: if thick band - diy tourniquet very good. ryan amputated thru arteries and veins - lots of blood. dylan irl without tourniquet - very dead.

[@darkpixel1128]

@@axdonat I know, a belt is very bad but what I'm saying is that the consequences are probably better than bleeding out. Unless I'm wrong on that? Not a paramedic or anything.
