Almost every single member of the character arcs were left pretty open ended. This for the most part goes to characters like Luke, Sarah, Carlos, Bonnie, Mike, Arvo, Nick (i can't believe telltale honestly thought they could end Nick's character with us finding him dead somewhere and call it a day) either that or characters with a finished character ark ended pretty unsatisfyingly (Rebecca, Jane, Kenny.) Not to mention there was barely any good character development to speak of, imo pretty much everyone included in the game was the same from first appearance to last appearance, and any who made any changes just didn't make much sense to me. Rebecca going from wanting Clem dead to deciding to be one of her most trusted allies? Jane going from a lone wolf to trusting no one but Clementine because she reminds her of her sister? She spends the whole game telling Clem to always be alone because it's safer but actively breaks her own rules. There are a few characters who I feel like got some good development and potential, for example Nick, but they usually end up being killed off before they can have any real effect.
Don't even get me started on the questions and plot threads they left unanswered. Kenny calling Clementine "Duck?" That never got mentioned again. Sarah being taught how to defend herself and also being given the option to save her only so she could continue to do fuck all. I actually liked Sarah, because I thought she would become something. That thing Carver mentions about Alvin killing a friend of his in cold blood? The fuck was up with that? Who AJ's real dad is? I assumed Alvin, but I see a few things in the wiki that say Alvin's voice actor hinted it's Carver. The whole thing with Rebecca screwing Carver was left with little answers. Like why did she do it? I assume right now that it was non-con, but idk. I could go on.
I don't dislike season 2, not at all, I just feel like there was so much lost potential, I feel like the writers gave up half way through. Too many ideas, too little time.
