The wolf among us.

[Agayek]

I'm loving TWAU. One of the better point & clicks I've played in a long time, even over TWD in my view, and easily the best mystery story I've seen in years. It's a blast.

Also, my pet (and almost certainly insane) theory is:

Spoiler

Mr. Toad's kid did it! All the sniveling and crying when you questioned him was just a ruse. That frog has the eyes of a killer I tell you! A killer!

Spoiler: On a slightly more serious note

Really, my money's on either the Headless Horseman framing Crane, or Bluebeard is the Tweedles' super secret employer and he's masterminding everything to make a power play. Not sure which is more likely.

The woodsman, is arch enemies with our big bad wolf, for obvious reasons.

Ohohohohoh, no, no, no. See here, Bigby is not actually a simple wolf, or a fable Wolf.

Spoiler: comics spoiler

He is the son of North Wind and Winter. North Wind is one of the Great Powers in fables universe, basically a god, which makes Bigby a demi-god at the least. So, if he decides to huff and puff at some point, he could easily level city block. Woodsman doesn't really have the guts to be in archenemy category.

Yeah, I've been reading the fablebook things that you unlock ... you know like codex in dragon age. They are quite interesting reads.

Makes me wonder though, if like you claim he can level a city block, how did the woodsman win in the first fight? Like he said, he cut him open with an axe and filled his stomach with rocks. That isn't just winning, that's humiliation!

I'm liking the game more than the GN's because Bigby isn't a giant dick in the game. Also his voice makes him more charismatic as well. I like the overall tone better, I think the graphics brings out the atmosphere in a way that makes me like it better than the original art style.

I think I may be liking this over Walking Dead. It has it's problems, but I LOVE the colours, art style, acting, and use of fantasy. I know the earthy, depressing atmosphere is suited best to Walking Dead, but Wolf Among Us I guess is something that feels more unique, refreshing, and up my alley.

Personally I've been playing Bigby as a "big bad cop", I guess to see how far they'll go. Most of my actions have been pushy, snide, or violent. I must say that even I've been uncomfortable with those choices 0-0. Damn, Bigby. Though I guess that's another strength of Bigby as a character in this kind of game. I've seen nice guy runs and it still fits the character just as well. Going for nice options means Bigby is genuinely trying to turn his image around, while being bad means he's falling into or embracing his old nature. I like it. The control over Lee and Clem do work, but their characters don't have as much of a contrast. I wonder how/if they're going to build on this dichotomy on a grander scale as we go along.

Never tried a Fables comic, but I may take out some from the local library. Not going to discuss theories as it's obvious more people on this thread have a better grasp on it's world than I do. Though I do agree there are a lot of red herrings about. It's only episode 2 after all.

I really can't bring myself to play this.

The Walking Dead is a great game but Telltale's support for the first season was terrible. Now the wait between episodes is growing with no sign of episode 2 making an appearance.

I simply can't put myself through that again with this title. I think I'll wait until everything is out to try it.

Well, they have loaded their plate up to a sizable degree! They have the walking dead, the wolf among us and tales from the borderlands and it's not like they are a large studio, wiki says 180 employees on 3 games, all of which have massively branching story lines.
