    You're less than 1 act into a 4/5 act story. 

     

    It sounds like you're really down on it. Personally, I think it's a really fun game that gets more entertaining as your character hits higher level and has more options. Like miffy said, the story really isn't great, so I wouldn't look for that to elevate things.

     

    If you're not enjoying it, stop playing. Not everything is for everyone.

    Sean coming in at the end scared the hell out of me, too. Especially since sometimes I still mix his voice up with Jake's, so at first I was freaked out and then I thought maybe it was just Jake talking and then I freaked out again because it sounded SO much like Sean... because it was him.

    Yay, more updates!

     

    Just an FYI (and I don't think I read you did this, but maybe you did), you can have a conversation with Maximino in year two. His office is off of the area where Nick sits. It's strangely hard to find. I don't think I realized that you could talk to him for at least my first couple playthroughs of the game.

    Finally finished The Walking Dead season 1 and 400 Days. I needed a break from it after the third episode. What an awesome game. I'll have to get Season Two when I can afford it, even though it doesn't have the Sean and Jake magic.

    But it does have Nick Breckon!

    Well, you might see Crusader shields/weapons drop occasionally, but to me that is identical to seeing a Demon Hunter weapon drop if you're not playing that class - you're going to salvage/sell it anyway. It's not really worth saving any sort of equipment for other characters unless it's some amazing level 70 item.

    Plus its stupid that you get the option to make a Crusader and you can't actually play it. That actually happened to me when I first booted up Diablo 3 for the first time in years after patch 2.0 came out.

    I haven't played Luftrausers either, but my thing is the gameplay itself is so abstract I have a hard time connecting it to anything horrible like Nazi Germany. The in-between stuff is a little more direct, but, yeah. I guess I'm kind of throwing a non-opinion into a heated debate I have little investment in. Also I'm a middle-class white male with no real distinct ethnicity, so I can't really identify with where these people are coming from either. Hurrah! Enjoyed the episode.

    I can't remember the exact quote, but I think they tried to aim for 50% split in choices, except for when they didn't. When I beat Episode 3, the last, major choice was almost exactly 50%. The rest were much more unbalanced. My guess is that they tried to get that last choice much more even and the rest they didn't care as much about. Though of course I have no idea.

     

    By the way, they did a terrific job building you up to kill Dum. I think most people usually play the non-violent good-guy types, like I do, but when I played that scene I really had to bring myself down in order to not kill him. From what I've heard a lot of other people had the same experience or just killed him in a violent rage. Really well done.

    Speaking of the comics, is it worth reading? I hear it drops off, but is there a good amount to read? I'm really digging the world and would love more. I don't LOVE comic books, but I'm kind of jonsing for more Fables.

    Yeah, I dug episode 3 as well. I like how complicated the characters and their motivations are, how you think someone is a complete scumbag and they say one thing and you go "oohhhh..." and realize where they're coming from. 

     

    I chose one dialog option by mistake and I wish I hadn't! Wanted to get that sweet sweet extra dialog. Also I moved a few scenes on quicker than I would have liked without being able to check everything first. Sucks because I really enjoy the characters and the world a lot and want to spend as much time investigating them as possible. 

     

    Some spoiler stuff about what I chose and felt about things:

     

    I spared Tweedle Dum, and I was so close to killing him, but I thought about it for like 2 seconds and decided not to kill him. I was so close... and I kind of still wish I killed him. It was really satisfying to unleash the Big Bad Wolfiness and attack some dudes. Bigby is a really fun character to play as. Telltale is really good at creating likable characters.

     

    The only thing I'm pissed at myself about is I basically told Snow White to fuck off when she asked about the anger I had. I panicked at picked that option. I wish I had picked a different one now, I wanted to see what else they were gonna talk about.

     

    Also Bloody Mary is a really cool villain in the game. Neat that they're using her as a Fable, also she scared the shit out of me when I was a kid so it's like double cool.

    That's totally fair to not be a big fan of this style of game and I'm glad that you're liking it despite that. Also, that's awesome that you're going as a "sneaky bowman". I can't speak for any other build but I found the combat as a stealth-archer type to be very satisfying. Especially when your archery and stealth are fully leveled up and complemented by some Illusion magic. Going through a dungeon and killing everyone before they could even figure out where I was never got old for me.

    Never thought about using Illusion magic too (duh), I'll check into that! I was just doing pure Stealth. I think I even have a hat that increases my Illusion Magic skill.

     

    It's definitely fun to fully stealth a dungeon. I killed a bunch of the undead dudes in front of a dragon word wall without them ever knowing I was there. They just kept triggering as the previous enemies died and then I popped the new guys.

    I've noticed the same thing and am equally confused. I absolutely adored Skyrim and it is most definitely in my top 10 favorites of all time. Even after putting 250+ hours in as my stealth archer, I still regularly think of jumping back in and going through it all again as a different class. The only reason I don't is because I know it will completely dominate my gaming diet and I will play nothing else during that time. 

     

    But then again, I also really liked Oblivion and had no issues with that game either so I am probably just partial to Bethesda's style of open world game.

    I'll point out (even though I think I have been much more positive on Skyrim than most of the people who posted about it before me), that I'm not that big of a fan of this style of open ended game. That's why I avoided playing it for so long. I'm liking Skyrim, though, which is part of what I'm surprised about.
