Got episode one for free off XBLA.
Colour me hooked! That was brilliant!

Paid up for the season pass straight after the episode ended!

Four months :fp:

Really looking forward to see what they do with Game of Thrones but for the love of god they need to finish their current series first.

George RR Martin will have finished the books by the time Telltale release the first episode of Game of Thrones.

Just finished it (well twice, as it loaded other save I didn't bother with...) and it hasn't listed the choices for me yet, so I'll put these up later on.

The twist between two episodes (end of episode 1 and start of episode 2) got me good :lol:

The Season Pass on the 360 doesn't work - those of us who have it are still being charged for the 2nd episode. Not sure if it's Telltale's or Microsoft's fault.
The wait goes on :lol:

It was short and not interactive enough but I still really liked episode 2. I'm not even annoyed at the George RR Martin style Snow death misdirection.

Brerlappin wrote:Played an hour or so of episode 2. Its still as gorgeous and well written as Ep1, but i cant help but feel theres even less gameplay in this episode. An hour or so in, and ive done pretty much nothing except make dialog choices

It is mostly conversations and considering we waited four months for this ep that is slightly disappointing, no matter how good the episode was. Episode 3 needs far more crime scene investigations.


My choices:
Sympathized with Crane.
Got Tweedledum (dee?) to talk (and stole his cash).
Let Snow do what she wants.
Punched Georgie. (I'm stunned I was in the minority here. Less than 30%? :lol: )
Didn't hit Beast more than necessary.


Managed to accidentally complete the episode before I could listen to the tape. I assume I could have used it with the alarm clock?


Episode 3- Nice to see we're getting more of Bluebeard, he was fun in his little scene in this ep. And he's voiced by Lee! :wub: Is TJ voiced by Clementine? The voice actor sounded familiar.

strawberry float me, that was short!

It was still great - just felt very 'on rails'. Hardly any decent choices to make.

Any dates for episode 3 yet?

Is there really no way to turn off the 'X will remember that' notifications? Such a weird omission since it was in both seasons of TWD. It may seem pedantic but it really breaks the immersion for me.

Just running in quickly - done the first bit of Ep1.
That's an incredibly effective set up. Grabbed me straight away!

Well that's 2 episodes down in the evening and it's fantastic. The art style and sound is just incredible (both voice and music)

Episode 2 was shorter, but I don't get some of the complaints about the interaction. For example I'm sure no matter the choices in the P&P everything would get to the same place, but I had fun deciding how to get there.

Ep2 didn't seem as well put together though, and it seemed to muck up some of my choices when running it's dialogue (e.g. It said I'd see someone at Faith's apartment when I hadn't). Was it me or where a couple of the scenes from "next time" (e.g. Lawrence) not there?

Thoughts on end of Ep2

Knew it was Crane as soon as I saw the wine. The bottle was the same (could have been a re-used asset I suppose) and with his talks about "massages"...still think it could be a miss-direct though over who's the killer, even if Crane's a complete perv.

The whole idea of someone being "glamored" to look like another individual for sex games seemed horrifically invasive, but the picture of Crane running his hand up the leg of a knocked out woman, even consensually knocked out, was somehow worse

Well that was short. strawberry floating good though. Most jarring dialogue bugs at the end though - but still the story is great and so are the characters so willing to forgive that

I try best to do what I think Bigby would do in the situation

Didn't interrupt Snow - it's a funeral for crying out loud!

Tried to peacefully get the Tweedles to leave, without agreeing to their deal. It didn't work

Went to the Trip Trap bar first. Seemed best bet to get a lead on the witch. Played nice with everyone ("Gren won't remember this" got a chuckle, and tried to give Holly some peace.

Went to the apartment second - everything burnt. Given how later Snow tells me I found evidence that Crane was embezzling, I assume that's what the books showed? And Bluebeard burnt them?

Then to the Tweedles den. Flycatcher seemed nice, played on his innocence, but tried to play it straight with him. Didn't say he could have a job, but told him to talk to Snow (the choices at the end recorded this as offering him a job)

Took the money in Crane's jar to the Crooked Man - not sure what impact this had, but hey Free Money! I mean "it's evidence"

Annoyed I had to wait until the story said I could accuse Rachel of being a fake. The section with Mr Toad worked better, you knew he was lying there and had to prove it. Here I felt several steps ahead of Bigby.

Didn't burn the Tree. AG made a good point about people needing cheaper glamors (especially given how Crane seemed to view commoners) and destroying one of the relics of the old world seemed wrong.

Didn't punch Georgie. I wanted to, but knew Snow wouldn't want to be defended.

Suddenly Snow started throwing out how I'd found evidence of Crane embezzling money from Fabletown. Threw me a bit. Agreed Crane might not be the killer, and backed up Snow. Still broke his nose though when he started talking. Gent's got to have limits.

Mary, Mary, Mary...an effective entrance, but I don't get her as the big villain. She's just the muscle (and loving it). Bigby's Wolfout was effective, and I'm glad they waited 3 episodes for it. I let Dum live. I wanted to kill him, but I didn't want Bigby to be a murderer, even in self-defense...

Crane's prediction about Snow barely lasting minutes before making her first compromise came true :(

I've no idea where the story is going now. Crane owes the Crooked Man something (the list in his file didn't make it explicit), but he says something about the women and their plan. The Pudding and Pie girls clearly know far more than they can say (Nerrisa was lurking in the alley at the end?) - and Crane thought they could exonerate him? Combined with Mary knowing Crane wasn't the killer, and that suggests the Crooked Man has something to do with the murders, but I can't work out why? And then why the murders heads were both left at the Woodlands... And what's Bluebeard up to?


Actually when you recap it back like that - short, but a fuckton happened.

I'd put it at between an hour and an hour and half.

Trying to be vague - but there's a choice of order to do things, I got lucky and could do everything but talking to others some combinations sound like they mean you can only do a few of the things which might make it shorter.

It certainly feels like one that you could replay the most.
