what was point of 400 days

[Yang's right arm]

as i played i did notice the charaters that joined carver in 400 days, but they all apeared for just a line or 2, and they seemed to have no real effect on the story, and unless they return in later eps, that seems to be unlikly, what was the point in buying 400 days?

I cane away from Episode three thinking 400 days was fairly pointless. Both seasons one and two have shown that due to complexity the determinant characters don't play major roles such as with Carley/Doug in episode two and Nick in episode three. Bonnie plays an active role because she is the only non-determinant character.

The preview image for episode four sort of suggests they may have involvement in episode four but I'm not holding out much hope.

I never expected them to be involved in Season 2 when I played the DLC and I think it was good enough to stand it's own ground. The five stories are good by themselves that's the "point" in buying 400 Days.

It was nice to see Bonnie as a mayor character and the cameos, I never expected more really. I wished to see Nate eventually.

But you've got a point. They did introduce two new characters and had them join the group so why not two 400 days characters? They would have to join Tavia no matter what but I would prefer it if that meant seeing any more of them.

just a way to get an extra 5 bucks from fans between season 1 and season 2.... their cameos were just playing lip service to the fans who purchased the DLC.

It's possible that the ones who are at Carvers camp are the only/few survivors of the horde of zombies, and that you may meet them again latter, survivng how they did before Tavia found them all.

I'm sure we'll see more of them in the next episodes...

You might as well ask "what's the point in telling any story?"

I understand that people are frustrated that the 400 Days characters aside from Bonnie didn't feature for more than a couple of seconds, but that doesn't make the story of it pointless. Just treat 400 Days as another look into the WD universe and how others were coping, not a central part of Telltale's TWD. Besides, it's very likely that Eddie from the dlc will show up in a larger role too.

Yeah....I am with this....that said would have been interesting to see more interaction with Clem and the young girl from the diner. That was the one story thread I would have appreciated them revisiting in more depth. The rest stand fine as cameo's on their own....also....whose to say they won't next episode. IF they *didn't* come to camp they might still be running around...but they would not have shown them this epsisode. Agreed though that survival doesn't look likley for members of the camp who did go all walker blood.

This is simple. Did you enjoy playing 400 days? If so, that was the "point" of it.

About time, I saw Vince in the "next time on The Walking Dead" video right after I finished episode 1 and yet no sign of him but I saw the others that went with Tavia.

I feel sad that most of the characters from 400 Days are apparently "gone" now. They had potential, I was especially curious about that other female kid, but it's highly unlikely we will be seeing any of them again.

You can't make season 2 dependent on a DLC becauce not everybody will choose to play it and so they'll have no idea what is going on haha! The point is that I enjoyed the five stories and especially got to know Bonnie, which probably made me trust her more, it also made me feel bad because I replayed the DLC to get all five of them to join Tavia to this wonderful community and now I've found out that the community is crap, I think thats the main 'point' of it

I am also questioning 400 Days, but for a different reason: The "change of character", if thats the right word. I mean, yeah, the people still have their own personalitys, but joining carver like that and - at least from what i see - to agree with his way to do things?
Vince - Ok, that i kinda get, he already showed some of the (sometimes neccesary) "leave those who REALLY wouldnt make it" and "shoot someone" ways in 400 Days.
Wyatt - Here i dont get it, he seemed more like the "nice and friendly buddy" type of a guy, even some kind of "caring" if you choose to help that guy in 400 Days.
Russel - Also seemed like an ok-guy. Also he was offended by the whole "kill these folks and take all their stuff" things of his former group and Nate. How come he now seems like a way more "cruel" or at least "cold" boy?
Bonnie - Ok, she always seems to be a bit unstable at mind and such things, i can understand why she is "blended" by the thought of Carver having a good reason for everything he does.
Shel - She seems like she is the only one who kinda stayed how she was, a normal girl who tries to deal with the situation.
And at last: Tavia - Sorry, but i kinda dont buy that whole "cold attidude" thing. For real, we were introduced to her as a caring woman with honest thoughts / emotions. Hell, she even outright said "we dont want to force you living with us" and "you just have to follow the rules" like its just "come by if you want, but be nice". And now she is serving under carver like that, pulling of the "old hag that is grumpy most of the time" number, going as far as to not saying a word about that whole "revenge / getting the people and forcing them back to our group / kill those who are weak or dont want what you do" thing of Carver?

Not that i want to say bad words about Telltale, i really love TWD and TWAU. But i kinda got the feeling that in this episode they just tried to somehow get the 400 Days people into it so you see them without thinking if they are integrated "the right way". Like i said yeah, people can change, but espacially the way Tavia turned out to be seems way to far stretched for me.

Same point as all the other previous decisions you made. Brief cameos and a couple bonus lines of dialogue. What were you expecting? It's the same as any other decision you've made in TWD.

Vince didn't feature in the episode two teaser.

I agree with your points here. The only thing I can think is that some thing (Or things) significant happened to transition them to colder personalities (example: The last heard and whatever disagreements Luke and Carver had on a 'vision' for the camp). Russel looked significantly Older...so a great deal of time has passed and events in a post apocalyptic world likely have a way of changing people. THAT SAID....I found the Governor from the TV show to actually have some Charisma....Carver....I'm not sure what it is that would make anybody follow him and agree it is the weakest point in the episdode. The never sold me on why anybody would follow carver....as my Clam told him "You're a Bully". I don't follow bullies.
