This. Wasn't sure if I'd be able to get into the fairytale theme but had no trouble at all. Fantastic.

Spoiler:
I went to Toad first so, when I got to the Prince's, he was already dead. The fact that he took the time to write the suicide note seemed to be inconsistent with Dee/Dum/whichever's description of watching it happen (like it was more immediate) so I was very set on catching Dee at the end. I might have to play through again to see whether my logic makes sense but I thought I'd nailed them for killing him.

When you say he was "already dead" you mean that he was dying, right?
Yeah, my bad.

Wish I could join in on Walking Dead spoiler talk but a Telltale server error means I can't play the fucking thing. Planned my whole day around fitting it in; now I'm probably going to have to wait until after Christmas. Rrrr and double rrrr.

Had to move fucking countries to do it but I finally got onto the server to play Walking Dead.

Spoiler:
Helped Christa, killed the dog, forgave Nick, gave water to the dying arsehole, went with Nick.

Agree with Claus a little bit in that I was thinking slightly more 'what would Clem do?' rather than 'what am I going to do?' but I may not mind that very much until I perhaps end up replaying it at some point. More problematic was that I felt the major decisions (with the exception of Nick or Pete) were not particularly difficult ones. The accepting of Nick's apology didn't feel like much of a big deal at all (it seems weird that people would be a dick to him about that, given how the dialogue prompts looked and what Clem has learned about the harsh nature of the world).

If I hadn't seen pre-publicity from Telltale saying that Kenny's fate would be "explored", I wouldn't be considering him for the 'I thought you were dead' at all, but given that they've teased that, I think I'm leaning red herring on it. Lilly seems the most interesting guess (Clem's dialogue with the dying bandit near the end didn't imply that she'd given up on Christa as dead) and I'd really like to see her story continue so I'm hoping it's her.

Going to be interesting to see where the 400 Days characters feed in. I didn't notice any connections at all apart from what I thought was the diner at the start (but I can't remember a huge amount about 400 Days now, certainly not all the characters and who went with the woman at the end and who didn't).

Spoiler:
I guess the mystery 'I thought you were dead' person could be Michelle, Omid's accidental assassin, but that would be pretty lame.

I didn't figure out what story he was supposed to be from - am I missing something obvious?

Spoiler: The Wolf Among Us Ep2
I'm glad they de-glamoured the body quickly. As soon as Snow mentioned that might be the solution, I was settling in to have to question whether or not she was the real Snow until the very last episode.

Aw, Sudo dude, don't spoil me for the comics. That's kind of a hint about who may or may not make it out of the game alive.

Seen some reviews for Dragon Age: Inqusition lately that have me intrigued. I love a lot of what BioWare's put out over the years but I got stuck in what I think was the early-mid game of Origins and wasn't gripped enough to go back and get myself out of it so never finished, nor played DA:II. I do love being able to transfer save data through a series, though, so I guess my question is: How significant an impact does the save transfer make on the Inqusition experience? Are we talking characters alive/dead as in Mass Effect or just a few references here and there? Worth my time overall to make the effort for the whole series or just play Inquisition blind?
