The Wolf Among Us - Telltale's Fables-based game

The spoiler tag doesn't seem to work correctly, regardless.

You can't use line breaks with spoilers. He and I just said.

FIXED IT! Thanks. I always get confused some times with how to input the code and stuff on forms. Every forum I go to has different codes.

One I went to used spoilers written in brackets before something and then spoilers again in brackets at the end with a '/' before 'spoiler'.

Thanks again. Anyway, onto the discussion

So I have the season pass, but for some reason I can't seem to figure out how to download episode 2.

I'm on Xbox. Can someone teach me the dark sorcery necessary?

Irrose:

• Crane is clearly fucked up, but I don't think he's the one beheading girls. For starters, his obsession is specifically with Snow, and Faith has no connection to her beyond looking vaguely similar. Also, he's in the comics.
• You need to specifically tell Snow that you weren't involved in torturing Dee. She seems him tied, bloody, to a chair, and assumes the worst. You can reassure her, though.
• I tend to play more on the heroic side of things, so I didn't smash Georgie's bar up too badly. But I did break some of his shit (namely the TV and sign) to show that I was serious.
• I felt the nudity was appropriate for the context, important to establishing Georgie's character, and (most importantly) incredibly distressing. I nearly burst into tears when she said she was the Little Mermaid. That's one character I wasn't expecting to have to stoop so low just to get by.

As for the delay, the running theory seems to be that Telltale had to spend a ridiculous amount of time fighting Apple over the nudity in order to coordinate the releases.

Mukora: Telltale's twitter account (and other places, I'm sure, but that's just where I've seen it) is saying that Microsoft is having problems with the Season Pass, and they're looking into why it isn't working.

Yeah, I saw that. Annoying.

We'll call it even for Walking Dead Season 2's season pass being delayed a week on Playstation, shall we?

That didn't prevent you from actually playing, though.

But yeah, sure.

Yes, it did. Buying the season pass after you already have the first episode is pointless. You may as well just buy the episodes individually at that point. Sure, they eventually said the pass would be discounted as compensation, but by that point I'd already waited most of a week for it.

Anyway, back to TWAU. It's the game to beat as my Game of the Year already.

Um... on Xbox at least, you have to buy the first episode before the season pass. :/

Agreed. I don't think its Crane either, though I do find some intrigue in that Crane is involved with murders where people are LOSING THEIR HEADS.

I didn't beat up Dee during the interview. Always trust when the game says something like "You got Dee talking.

I didn't smash up Georgie's place at all. I was really tempted by the time the DJ Booth came up, but I didn't and he caved. Speraking of Georgie, I still see his tatoo being a small bit of foreshadowing to Little Mermaid. Its obvious that they couldn't do that with Disney, but Little Mermaid was my first thought when I saw the tattoo before I'd learned Georgie's name. And, who eventually shows up? Little Mermaid herself. It can't possibly be coincidence.

[[spoilers: Also, quick question. Bigby brings up 'The Mundie version of her tale' and the Little Mermaid is still alive despite the 'Mundie Version' stating she died but was entered into heaven, so what ARE the differences between the 'Mundie' versions and the character's actual histories?]]

Okay guys fables (the comic 101)

File Ichabod Crane

Former Mayor of Fabletown. He lost his job due to sexually harassing snow white and embezzling funds from the business office. He spent years hiding from bigby in europe eventually settling down in France. He eventually got word that he was preparing to sell secrets about fabletown to the mysterious adversary which conquered the homelands. Bigby sent Cinderella super spy to silence him permanently by bashing his head in after seducing him

game spoilers

crane is a sick fuck but I don't think he is a killer....theres clearly something else going on

Mundy versions of fables are mostly an embellishment of real events so some things are the same while others are not....a comic example of this is the seven dwarfs were evil nasty bastards in the homelands version of events...they took advantage of young snow pressing her into their service and then took turns to rape her....its not nice

Maybe this is the afore mentioned thing about sexual harassment? And, I question why there is a photo of Crane with Fake!Snow. Why take a photo at all? I also should account the possibility of a third person here, someone who took the photo.

My guess is that Crane was seeing Holly's sister with her glamor'd as Snow for his creepy ass fetish. However, someone hired Holly (while Glamor'd as Crane?) and killed her.

I still don't understand why you'd bother killing Holly's sister, while glamor'd as Snow, and putting her on display at all if the glamor is just going to ware off? And why dump her corpse if you're going to put the head on display? Something is missing here.

I'm trying to currently figure out what the clue 'Stop laughing at me' could be a reference too. This is the clue TJ gives if you ask him for the exact words. I didn't dare ask any more. Does he say anything else if you instead ask a different question?

And, is it just me or does Beauty sound like Clementine a bit? Just, minus the childlike sound to her voice?

According to our Trivia page, Beauty and Toad Jr. are voiced by the same woman who voiced Clem.

I recognized Toad Jr. in a heartbeat, but I wasn't sure about Beauty.

So apparently the season pass issues on Xbox may take up to 2 weeks to resolve?

Fucking seriously. At this point I'm just barely clinging to the bit of rationality in me that thinks this isn't a scam.

Calm down and You Tube?

No. I'm not going to watch it on Youtube. That ruins the whole point.

And I am calm. Just... frustrated. And annoyed. Like, I was fine with the four month wait, I was perfectly okay with that. But then they release it, and I can't even fucking play the game I paid for? But other people can. Just because I was dumb enough to choose Xbox over PS 4 and Steam.

Ugh.

You take a photo because perverts and criminals typically like reliving their crimes.

I could tell Beauty was Melissa Hutchinson almost as soon as she showed up in Episode 2. I started Wolf Among Us before playing Walking Dead, so I didn't make the connection before, but it sounded really obvious once I was used to her voice.

I was more talking about why would you leave a photo of yourself at the crime scene which gives plenty of incriminating evidence. And, based off of the fact that Cane gets killed off later in the comics after escaping to Europe, I would make a solid guess that he is not our killer... Along side the usual evidence that revealing the killer in episode 2 of 5 would be stupid.

Just completed episode 2.

who took the photograph of Crane?

Best soundtrack of 2014. Even if it is still february, it's not a tough decision.

It was in an envelope on the floor of the closet, wasn't it? He probably dropped it.

So still can't play episode 2. But I did get to play Bigby (not literally, but basically) in a script reading we did in my theatre class today so that's cool.

Finally got to play the episode. It was...alright. Fun but not as good as I was hoping it'd be.

Was it just me or was there less action this episode?

edited 6th Feb '14 2:52:58 PM by Spirit

First episode had a chase and two fights. I didn't mind the lack of action as having another fight just didn't feel appropriate during this episode. It was much more about world building, characters, and actually putting some pieces together.

Sure, the photo set was on the ground, but its still seems rather obvious. My guess is its a plant. Also, if it WAS Crane, why would he make mistakes with Snow's secretary costume. If he's got this much of a fetish for the girl and sees her every day, why would so many details be off?
