ep 1 why is alfred mad at me?

[Yeshalot]

i hit the guy once, then intimidated him, and didn't break his arm during the interrogation........

"gordon notices you took the nonviolent approach"

then the next scene alfred proceeds to tell me i beat that man half to death..... like what?

any reason why it's like this? i get he cares about bruce and is worried, but "you beat that man half to death" just wasn't true at all......
did they record only 1 line for that part or something......

kinda feel like i got stiffed, should've beaten him senseless if alfred was going to say i did so anyways.....

That upset me too. I thought... Should I have not threatened him at all? I wondered if you did anything to him that it triggered that line, but that line was completely out of place and broke the immersion Definitely my biggest complaint about the game so far..

I've replayed that scene twice and got two versions.

If you don't beat the sniper or break his arm, Al says "beaten half to death."

If you do, he says "You almost killed a man."

I guess even with the nonviolent approach, Batman still threw him face first into the ground and at the least fractured his arm. Al might be exaggerating to prove a point.

agreed.
was the most annoying part of the game for me so far.
there just should've been more lines to make up for the different ways you can approach it.

not "you beat that man half to death" with 1 punch and an arm twist......

side note: maybe i just got confused, but reading the codex when it updates after giving vicki vale the comment on record it said i didn't give her any comment on record........ but then it played out like my normal choice.......

this game is shaping up to be really interesting story wise, but the small things can be so dissapointing or immersion breaking it's just so bad xD

it's just a bit weird and odd with the choicing of words i guess. he was trying to prove a point, ill give you that.

the game doesn't really give you the option to say "are you crazy? i took it easy on him"
ehhhh i guess it's just a bit of a nitpick, but it's still an odd choice of words i guess.

maybe telltales are too lazy to create another cutscene that move straight to the point. and need some filler.

lovely username and profile image.

and maybe, telltale has been lazy before in the past, wouldn't surprise me if they just wanted to move on and away from that scene without spending to much time on it.

just an obvious lack of attention to detail, and they've done that pleeenty of times in the past.
