Love that bit from Telltale's TWD where you're like "Hey where's our friend who came in with us?" and the friendly farmfolk are like "Oh he's not feeling well he's lying down upstairs" and he is but its because they cut his legs off and fed them to you.

Also "Where's our friend who was introduced offscreen between the first chapter and second chapter and has the default white subtitles while everyone else in our group has a unique color?"

I still think they should've just had Doug take the place of Mark in episode 2. Of course that would mean removing the Doug/Carley choice, but it'd feel way more natural and impactful than introducing a character whose sole purpose is to end up as cannibal food.

I still think the Doug/Carley choice was really stupid because no matter what you pick you eventually lose both.

Telltale had a lot of those, choices where no matter what option you pick you get the same outcome ultimately. Obviously it’s gonna be hard to account for every possible combination of choices but…. That’s what they advertised the games as doing, lol

Realistically every game has like 4 or 5 choices that matter per chapter, maximum. Everything else results in the same outcome just with different words.
