I wanna beat the hell out of Daniel

[Tomee]

That's all I have to say. We complained so much about how annoying he is and the devs decided to double down on this crap in episode 3. I'm sick. I want him dead in the next episode.

True story, at this point it feels like every episode ends with Daniel doing some retarded ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ whatever decisions you make.
Like I still like the game a lot but he's so annoying.

[androidghost]

Well, welcome teenage problems :/
Poor Sean, he has to deal with Daniel, while he's a teenager by himself

The writing is so bad. Every conflict comes from Daniel not listening to Sean, they literally could have stayed in Beaver Creek as well as California if Daniel just followed one simple instruction. It's just so bad, and he doesn't even want to go to Mexico so everything Sean is doing is pointless anyway. I get that he is a kid, but how can he not understand by now that they are wanted criminals in the eyes of the police? That he needs to be more thoughtful and thankful for any penny they got? They literally starved for weeks and he still had to whine when Sean got paid.

With his power he thinks he is "the best in the world". But, in my humble opinion, he remains one of the most obnoxious protagonists in the history of video games.

stupid little ♥♥♥♥. I hate him so much.

[iceace3]

I am stuck at make peace with Daniel.The little brat won't respond to my apology . How do you get through to Daniel ,it's starting to piss me off

[Honesty]

Lol... i am assuming none of you have children. Or forget how you acted when you were 9.

Daniel rarely if ever disobeys Sean in my playthrough; expect for scripted events. He doesn't/rarely swears also, and doesn't steal.

Furthermore, he's 9. Let me say this again. He's n i n e. That's one year under 10, if anyone was confused at all. Also, his father died!

I mean...? *does weighing motion with hands*

I haven't played chapter three yet. I watched the trailer, and I was looking forward to telling this bratty kid off. I was getting excited. Y'all replies got me thinking I want get to do just that, bummer.

Edit: Daniel is just straight up disobedient. He's age is no excuse. Yes, I parent him to follow rules. A kid like him probably got no strict discipline before the major incident because he's very spoiled and bratty. His behavior would never be tolerated in my family, so no I never acted like him. The thought would have never crossed my mind to be so flippant obnoxious on deciding when to follow rules, especially the ones that keep them safe.

That just reinforces the fact the every plot moment comes from Daniel being stupid and disobeying. It also means that the game ignores the character you build to move forwards.

I totally agree with you, there are so many inconsistencies in this chapter that it blow my mind, it seems like the devs took the disobedient and bratty Daniel as the base and ignore eavry other char development, in my playthrugh sean was supportive and caring, and daniel listened and cared about him, but he was bratty in episode 3. Daniel would never agree to use his powers in order to steal. On another note in some playthrues daniel don't save chris in order to hide his powers and he really loved chris, but he agree to steal with finn in order to have money to travel to a place that he doesn't want to go, ignore his only living relative, blame him, hurt him and leave him hurt with a glass in his eye. It feels like this chapter was made by a different studio, this chapter is linear and every choice made in this chapter and previous chapters gone to waste. The dialogue wasnt logical in so many places.

I have 3 kids, and none of them behave like Daniel, none of my 6 years old daughter behave like him.

Another thing episode 3 teaser at the end of episode 2 is not even present in the game, seems like they changed direction wnd didi their best to cut costs.

[Tomee]

When all episodes come out, I will replay this game and I will be a mean ♥♥♥♥ to Daniel. He's the root of all problems in this game. He is why the dad got killed, he is why they had to leave Beaver Creek and got the grandparents in jail, he is the reason why Chris was hit by a car and he's willing to attack you and Cassidy. AND after EVERYTHING if Finn is shot, Daniel has the nerve to tell you that this was all your fault.

Daniel is the villain of this game and I'm sick of him.

My cousin has 2 daughters aged 5 and 3. Both are more obedient and well behaved than Daniel.

I wouldn't put too much thought into that. The teasers in Before the Storm also played out differently in the game.

This. It's bad writing, plain and simple, and mainly, it isn't the slightest bit affected by the player's choices. They're taking the Telltale road here, where nothing you do actually has any meaning except for a few strings of dialogue, and that is not a road you want to go down.

Oh boy, prepare for anger. You get zero chances to tell him off, everything gets spun around and slapped right back in your face. No matter how angry Sean is, in the end, he'll still conclude that Daniel disobeying, doing stupid things and ruining people's lives, including their own, was all Sean's own fault, just because Brat Kid and Pothead McDreads says so.

...

I genuinely hope this series will end with one last, major choice where we're actually given a choice to keep going with Daniel, sticking with family but realising that life will keep being as dangerous and complicated as it is, or leave Daniel behind to... whoever, social services or grandparents or idgaf, before we get to Mexico, losing family but being able to live a safe life for ourselves. If they had the balls to make people choose between their beloved Chloe (note: their, not my) or Max's town and friends, surely letting us choose between Daniel or safety shouldn't be too far away.

I have been doing this from the first minute of the first episode. I changes nothing, it is not even a viable option because whatever you do Sean will blame himself and has no option to dislike Daniel.

Add me to the list of psychos, I´ll even offer to change my review to "positive" if he gets killed before the final cutscene of the last episode.

Add me too please.

[Hobbes]

Yeah. They didn't exactly make him a likable character.
Yeah, I get it. A kid who lost his dad, in a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ situation being dragged around by his dummy brother with superpowers. I get it.
But annoying is still annoying. And he is annoying.

And Daniel in my game *likes* me. As much as he can. I hate to think how he acts with people who screwed up and he doesn't like lol.
