I finished The Walking Dead Season 2, Episode 2.
Episode 2 is out, and it's a good one. Don't read this if you plan on playing it because I'm going to spoil everything... There is almost no action in this episode, the focus being mostly conversations and tensions between humans. The game starts off with Nick and Clementine holed up in a shack after the death of Pete. Nick gets drunk off home made whiskey they found in the shack. They try to make a run for it but Nick gets held back while Clementine escapes to the house.
The group decides to go out to find Nick while Clementine stays in with Carlos's daughter Sarah, the sheltered innocent teenager. That's when a strange visitor entered the house and had a weird conversation with Clementine. It turned out to be Carver, the man the group seems to fear for some reason. The conversation was pretty uneventful in the end, but it's clear that Carver had beef with the group.
When he left and the group got back, they decided it was time to move on to avoid Carver. They cleverly avoided telling me why they were running from him... It's clear that Rebecca is pregnant with Carver's child, but it's not the reason why they are running. We started our journey and found Nick alive and well in the cabin, so he rejoined us. We eventually found a large bridge near a ski lodge, which seemed like a good place to stay. Clementine and Luke, the leader of the group, go ahead to scout the bridge and make sure it's clear for the group.
Luke falls as a wooden beam breaks under his weight, and of course, zombies show up. Clem fights them off with rebar and manages to save Luke. They then saw a man on the other side of the bridge armed with a rifle. After a short conversation, it seems like he is friendly and will help us. However, Nick shot him in the face from a distance, thinking he was a threat to Luke and Clementine... Fucking idiot.
We finally reached the cabin and had a HUGE surprise. Kenny, one of the main characters in the first season, is alive and lives in the cabin with a small group! They offer us shelter. After talking a bit and having a nice dinner, we figured out that the guy Nick shot on the bridge was part of Kenny's group. Walt, one of the men in the group, was his lover. I convinced everyone to admit to the event and while Walt took it really hard, he seemed to take it pretty well, considering. We also met with Bonnie, one of the women from 400 Days. We gave her some food and let her go.
Zombies showed up and we got overwhelmed, but were saved by Carver's men who showed up with assault rifles, including Bonnie, who is a lying bitch if you ask me. The help stopped there though as they took everyone captive except Clementine, Kenny and Luke. Kenny shot one of Carver's men, and he retaliated by shooting Walt in the head in front of everyone. I convinced Kenny to surrender to avoid more bloodshed, but Luke was nowhere to be found. Carver took us to his camp and the episode ended.
I can't wait to see what's in store for Episode 3, there's more to this story than what is apparent right now.
