How to import saves from the first game?

[Jakob Fel]

Hey all, I recently got the entire Telltale TWD franchise after having the first game for years and so I decided to do a replay of the first game with the intention of importing my saves between games. However, I launched Season Two just now and I can't quite seem to figure out how to do it. The My Choices menu is locked, the Save Files menu has no option to do it and I looked online to no avail.

Does it just automatically do this or am I missing something? I'd like to have a continual story throughout the entire series if possible. Thanks for any answers!

I haven't played this in awhile, but I know that I was confused about it as well initially. I believe that I ended up just starting the second season and, when I did, it asked if I wanted to import the game from the first one. Give it a try. If that doesn't work, you can always stop the game right away and try a different method (if you get another/better answer).

Try copying the folder with save files from the first game to the second one. I believe these are in My Documents if you're on Windows.

Ah yes, this worked for me. Thanks for the response! And thanks, vindictivuoto, as well!

I'm sure I will, Telltale was so underappreciated!

I believe when you start up TWD S2 without an existing save file, you should be able to select a save file from The Walking Dead S1 as long as you have the game installed and a save file.

However, if your save file is not completed, the game will make random choices for all dialogue and choices.

Yeah, I made sure I completed a full playthrough and the DLC for the first game before playing the second game, so that I could enjoy a complete story!

Did you try starting a new profile/playthrough? That did it for me but I can't guarantee it'll solve the problem for you.
