But nope. Telltale or TrollTale kill him off in the first few minutes. And for what? Shock value, that's it. When I saw his death I just stared blankly at the screen and the only thing I could think about was 'Goddammit Telltale....'. Omid deserved a better death than that, the fact that it was for shock value only (IMO, you'll see this popping up often) just makes it seem so worthless. Omid deserved better, way, way, way better. Yeah, this scene was very skeptical. It definitely makes me think Kirkman ran into the Telltale offices and wrote this scene himself. This is the kind of scene that only he would write. I could think of many story possibilities that Omid would have in season 2 on the top of my head, but they obviously wanted to go with the depressing route. Telltale could've just had Clem cry over Lee's picture and say "I miss you..." to almost achieve the same affect on the player. Other than that, I just basically had problems with the divergence of plot and Clem's dialogue. Any player can choose options that Clem would seem to never say, even if it's been 16 months. I don't know. For me, this is loss of immersion. Here's how I imagined Telltale planning this scene: TELLTALE HQ Writer: Quick, we have 5 seconds to decide how to kill Omid off! Four seconds of silence Telltale person: How about we kill him off before the title sequence and the opening credits! Everyone: YAY!!!!

The thread isn't as bad as I thought it would be, I thought people well tell me to STFU. I was talking about the TellTale forum then btw if anyone was mistaken.

I hope things will improve in episode 2. But Kirkman always says that things will get much worse.

telltale isnt afraid to hurt clem,no matter how heart wrenching the non canon deaths are.i agree omid's death was...sudden,better him than christa,otherwise he'd be kenny after episode 3.i hate the girl that killed her,im glad christa came in and shot her.
16 months later...
helluva time skip,but DAT VOICE!DAT CLEMMYCLU VOICE! anyway,i assume the baby died or something,but assuming is making an ass out of you and me. christa died quickly too...least,i think she's dead.THANKS WINSTON AND FRIENDS!(sarcasm) the dog.i owned a dog.i gave it away because i had to movd,now they allow dogs here(wtf?)the dog death was saddening.very...depressing the group is meh.and tka...?i told you so that it wasnt kenny(but i was wrong about him being a bandit)

That scene... I never thought they could out do Lee with the arm, but they did, overall I say 8-10, it was good, but I would say the weakest out of the 7 episodes, the sadness did not affect me maybe because there was so much of it, no happy moments outside of Omid jr, I am not pissed the baby died, I guessed that would happen, the time skip is what I hated, the fact they just showed us Christa and Omid instead of showing the hill, I am not pissed about Nick, I knew it was not Kenny the moment they did not show his face, he is going to show up next episode, but likely as a bandit, and Omid, need I say more?

This is my order right now. Personally I really liked Episode 1 Season 2, 9.9/10 for me, but I like everything 1.) Episode 2 2.) Episode 3 3.) Episode 6 4.) Episode 5 5.) Episode 4 6.) Episode 1

I would go, 5,4,3,2,1,6, I consider 400 days way to unique to be compared.

I honestly hope that things will improve in episode 2. The reason why season 1 was great is because while season 1 did have dark moments, it also had some laughing moments and happy moments. I hope season 2 will have some heartwarming scenes but it looks like the story will get too dark and there will be no heartwarming scenes like in season 1.

I think episode 2 will be a small break from everyone dying.
Episode 3 is going to be episode 2 of season 1 in terms of body count.
4 will be the "kill everything" episode.
5 will be awesome.

By awesome you mean, "Oh god, make it stop make it stop."

Oh yeah, another reason why I don't like it is because it's too short. You can't talk to characters like how you talked with the characters from season 1 in episode 1. I hope the rest of this season won't be like this.

Yep, the episode was not short, but I wanted to walk around and talk, like in the Motor Inn, or the train, or the drug store.
