!! SPOILER!! ----------------------------- Possible way to save Marlon

[BaronVonBunghole]

I've been having PC troubles so I can't say this atm, but how about this as a possible way to stop Marlon:
1. Tell AJ to save the last bullet for himself
2. Make him shoot the heterochromatic guy (two different colored eyes) if possible.
So because he would use a bullet on the one guy (if possible, once again :p), he would save the last bullet and not use it on Marlon. Can someone test this while I get my PC fixed?

Even if you could save Marlon in any way, he would be just some useless background character that will just have some additional dialogue lines and eventually die in neareast time. Like Conrad. Or Sarah. Or, well, kinda Ben (tho if you saved him, he had very powerful scene with Kenny). It's not even all about Telltale, you know. If you just COULD die in TWD, you WILL die soon anyway. Same goes for TV series too.

yep

The choice to make AJ shoot Abel results in a game over, so nope.

really? now that's a stupid dissapointment

Yea, Clem say: "AJ SHOOT!" and then Abel shot AJ in his head, and after that Clem in her breast.

No truer words have never been spoken.

If you tell AJ to shoot Abel then Abel just shoots you.

Man this makes sense but I've just been spoiled by those beautiful bastards over at Quantic Dream. They just had to go and make a massive branching story game that went so far above and beyond into the ridiculous. To make Detroit the standard for story/narritive games would be insane yes but god I would love at least a little branching. Telltale has deffinitely gotten better at making it feel as though player choice matters on some occations but I feel they're still pretty weak when it comes to character death. The variation of player choice impacts so little when the "red shirts" bite it and it kinda hurts the overall scene. Again I'm not asking for a full branching narritive (but I wouldn't complain :P) but I'd love to see more variance in the way death is handled. Like maybe having someone else kill Marlon in the end depending on how that confrontation went. Cuz when that man's face popped I couldv'e honestly seen Violet of Tenn holding that gun with the way the episode played out for me. I dunno this won't be the last telltale game (knock on wood) so it's something I'm looking out for them to improve on

the whole episode was great, imo...EXCEPT for the ending where marlon has to die because telltale says so...the ending was so predictable unlike the rest of the episode...they should have made marlon a determinant character...only part I disliked about the episode

but i really amazed about ending,and it havn't to be determinant really...bc look!3 endings for e1?so 3 diffrent story for e2?do you think its possible?the game would be abou 40gb if they want to do something like this...

how do you figure? telltale has made determinant characters before so it's not impossible, they could cut back his role in the game simple as that...but more importantly, they shouldn't have killed him off because he was such an interesting character...the ending was lame

sadly, you are 100% correct....it's just really disappointing that telltale can't just get it fng right...it's the final season and they put a lot of work into this as it has been their sole focus for a long time; you would have thought they could have done a better job with the choices mattering for this final game.

I love your idea of having AT LEAST different deaths...like the same character can die whatever...but based on your choices he/she could die in a different way....jesus, telltale should be paying you for ideas

Carey/Doug death. Ben's death etc. It's been done already.

Also that token black guy from Season 3 with the dead wife that no one cares about. Apparently, he can die a few different ways. He can get eaten by walkers in the warehouse, killed by Javi in the train, or run over by the car by whatsherface. For a character that feels like he has no personality, he has the most unique deaths of anyone else in the series. On top of that, he can actually survive to the end with the right choices. I like how they did that, just a shame it was done with such an uninteresting character.

You can either push that raider guy into a zombie horde or let him take some food. Asking AJ to shoot or staying silent results in game over

That character is the literal representation of the 'ILLUSION OF CHOICE' it doesn't matter if he is alive or dead, literaly nothing changes if he is alive at the end of the season.
His character development ends at the end of episode 3 if you have him alive, in the episodes 4 and 5 he has 4 lines of dialogue at the very best.
Not that many people even noticed, 80% of the players killed him, with good reason.

press Q maybe just after kicking his ass

no no matter what you say he anyway kill him and repeat any word that you told him like 1."What? I saved last for me" 2."What? I didn`t hesitate" 3. "What? I aimed for the head"

the real hero of the comments section! i was about to replay the whole episode to try and save marlon! i just convinced him to drop the gun and we were gonna demote him and do it all peacefully... but GAWD AJ... LEARN HOW TO READ A ROOM.
