Do your choices actually matter?

[The Blind Bandit]

I'm asking this about all Telltale games. If I make terrible choices all around will it result in a castostrophic ending or just a slightly altered one? If its the latter I think I'll be incredibly dissapointed.

Thats the question that keeps me up at nights

They don't matter. All they influence is some dialogue and character placement. For example, in Walking Dead, you sometimes have a choice between two people to save. The story remains the same no matter who you pick: it's either person A saying something, or person B saying the same thing. In Game of Thrones, you can't change the ending to episode 1, but you can effect how characters talk about the event.

The recent Telltale Games are basically interactive movies; the interactive part comes from bits of dialogue and scene/character placement. Everyone will experience the same ending story wise, but the characters with you at the end will be different, depending on the player's actions.

(Spoilers for other game!)

They change how you get to the end of the story, not the ultimate ending. Like how in The Wolf Among us, you can change minor things like if you Rip the Crooked Man's Head off, and if you rip grendals arm off.

Nope,. They don't. Telltale is not evolved enough to make in depth games. All they want is a quick buck like a few other game companies out there.

I do like their writing skills, stories and acting... I truly believe they would do a better job at making animated movies than games. Their games are horrible and totally unreplayable thus not worth buying.

But 10/10 for acting and writing.

Foolio, fate is fate, you always get it, no matter what, you can run from battle, you'll either live or die, so if you where to fight in battle, you can always fight to the end, because you can still survive, I just like this concept, the fact that not one person can change the whole world, only him and his followers can change the world entirely. Of course not even one house can change their downfall or rise.

So no hope of an ending where cersei can be killed as well as Roose Bolton?

[King Yuri]

no

[Forsaken Buge]

If that were so then the whole thing... I wouldn't buy it.

[The Blind Bandit]

Well, kinda makes you wonder whats the point.

[Derfel]

It says:
"... determine their fate through the choices you make; your actions and decisions will change the story around you." on the store.

Is this a false advertisement?

@The Blind Bandit, may I enquire as to how did you come under the impression that your choices may matter (make a difference)?

Also, hate to break it to you, but the ending won't even be "slightly altered". The ending is THE SAME. The EXACT same!

Well ♥♥♥♥♥. Hm. Was hoping for something more in depth. Hell, the conversations in Deus Ex: Human Revolution have more impact, and there's also an awesome stealth-fps there too. Kinda sad seeing as how conversations is all this game is. That being said, I won't be able to fully judge it until all the episodes are out and seeing how this is Telltale, that may be a while.

In WDS2, there were 4 different endings, IIRC. TT said that they are making S3, so people are wondering how the game will start off.

At this point, WDS2 is the only TT game I know about that has different endings.

[Forsaken Buge]

Actually... it could be different, I mean the rest of the episode, and the sentinal is supposed to rule the house until asher gets thier, as the boy is a ward for the whitehills and ethan is dead, so you can play duncun or ser royland depending on whom you picked, so it does have an impact, even if the fate is the same result, and no it's not false advertising, as you will change your fate, sure just minorly, but think of the impact, because it's just the first episode, the ending is more excited in both the show and the game, because bran gets pushed off the wall, and ethan... well gets stabbed in the neck.

im doin this for the bagdges dont judge me

[Forsaken Buge]

I will, because that's my nature, as all men.
