[up] Episode 2 must've been fun. Did anything make sense?

There are far better ways to get breasts than watching Nerissa get abused by her pimp.

People, read the sign. The one that says "Don't feed the troll".

Anyone who assigns themselves loads of character tropes is someone to be worried about.

According to our trivia page (haven't bothered to go looking for a source), the red-haired guy from Episode 1 was supposed to be The Boy Who Cried Wolf, and be Bigby's deputy, but his role was cut when it was decided that Bigby's character was more interesting as a (excuse the pun) lone wolf.

I've seen that as a theory in other places. But I'm not sure it was ever actually confirmed.

I said I didn't look for sources. Just floating it out there in case anyone wants to. He ended up being completely irrelevant either way, so I don't really care what he was supposed to be. tongue

The stuff about the Boy who cried Wolf and Cinderella's step sister sounds pretty interesting.

Honestly any new seasons should give more love to side characters.

[up]Could have been the opportunity to play around with that 'Resurrection' concept a lot of people have mentioned.

Also, it may have been someone glamored as one of the sisters since that was a plot point.

[up][up] Hmm I don't remember that

[up] wild mass guess Nerissa was the one who was killed and dumped in the river, but later her popularity with the masses keeps her body alive somehow before it is found again and reattached to her head. Or someone just replaces her as the Little Mermiad. wild mass guess

The Fables wiki doesn't list them as being part of either of her minis, and they don't have pages.

Gaming Sins Video on The Wolf Among Us.

Just like Cinema Sins, they're nitpicky AS FUCK and a lot of their comments are kind of bullshit; "The game isn't tailored to how I play because I'd make her confess!" Yes, because we should always have the option to completely stop the plot from ever happening in the first place and act on knowledge that we don't otherwise know. Beauty is being suspicious, but there is no actual crime and Beauty and Beast frequently have arguments and issues going on so there's no reason for Bigby to seriously get curious in their life.

Its these things that annoy me about both Cinema Sins and Gaming Sins. Yes, choices have to be constrained, but making a choice for every possible reaction, even ones that are illogical entirely, is an impossible task. And Narrative has to keep control somewhere otherwise we could entirely ignore the plot or even more random and derailed situations.

I also don't know how to respond to his criticism that the Button Prompt Action Sequences are somehow objectively bad and they should but cut in favor of the narrative. Fights are happening because of conflict. Having the player watch a 10 min fight would be annoying and anti-thetical to the video game medium in general where interactivity and input on some level IS the medium. The major climax with Bloody Mary would be ruined if it were all a cutscene.

On the more positive note, I just noticed that Faith is wearing the ring Crane uses later in the first scene.

Why do people constantly miss the point that Cinema Sins' joke is about being nitpicky as hell?

Also, Gaming Sins sounds lame to me since it sounds like some person didn't have original idea so they took another's idea and applied it to different media :P

I can understand some level of nitpickey, but it gets annoying when its being nitpickey about things that are actually explained or its to such a level of nitpickey that it becomes overbearingly pretentious.

At the same time, they also have pointed out to me things I'd never noticed before so...

Like the QTE Button Pushing... What would be a more interactive option? Because Cutscenes don't work...

Not really sure we need a second season, but I'll take it. Kind of surprised that this is happening, given that Fables is over.

Did you watch the video at all? It's happening because fans have literally been begging for more since the first season ended (including me and several of my friends that I played the game with).

TWAU is by far my favourite Telltale game (and is my personal GOTY for 2014), so I'm super excited. Have to play it again on PS 4 so that all my decisions are there for the new one.
