Here's Ashley talking about the people who wanted Ellie to kill Abby at the end of the game.

Basically she see's it that is where you can see there is still hope for Ellie that she didn't make that decision.

I think the people who wanted Ellie to kill Abby at the end are absolutely bonkers. That fight was heart sinking. Neil likes that people argue over it and struggle with it. But he doesn't like the interpretation that people think the game is wagging it's finger at you for killing dogs and then patting the dogs in flashbacks or whatever. He says the game isn't making judgments. It's showing acts and then showing the other viewpoint of those acts.

It was also in the script for Joel and Ellie to hug in their final flashback. Ashley said she didn't think they'd be there yet and that not getting that full reconciliation is more powerful. Which I also agree with.

These actions make a noise that cannot be heard by video game characters
  • Shooting someone in the head with a silenced pistol or bow
  • A body dropping to the floor after being murdered
  • Grabbing someone from behind and choking them until they faint or die
  • Stabbing someone from behind and murdering them
However they will hear you running or the precise point of where a coin lands

Something I noticed in TLOU2. There are multiple instances where another character tackles you out of the way or gets you to safety right on time but I cant think of a single instance in gaming where you can do the same for an NPC.

I played Assassin's Creed Syndicate last month and you do this in a side quests to stop someone from being hit by a train! It's very rare though yes lol

yea, I really enjoyed the ending, too.

to make that flashback scene to the night before Joel died even more bittersweet, Ellie was planning on having a movie night with Joel before Abby and her friends came into their lives and turned everything around.

Yeah when you initially hear that you don't even think anything of it. Of course they'd be friends. Then you realize that this was going to be their first night hanging out together in years. Bummer.

iirc, Druckmann initially wanted Joel, in a delirious state, to say "Sarah" as his final word, but Troy Baker felt it would be better if Joel didn't say anything at all

I agree with Troy there. Kinda makes it seem like Ellie doesn't matter all that much outside of being a replacement of Sarah.

It's also probably better that we don't know what he was thinking. Even Ellie wonders about if it's better or worse for him that she was there.

Going by this interview it sounds like Troy and Ashley have some input with the direction of their characters too which is interesting. Apparently Troy and Neil talked a lot about Joel's mindset before his death. It's a rather interesting observation I didn't really consider.

He didn't once consider Abby a threat because she is the same age as Ellie and so he just had it in his mind to protect her and keep her safe. When he got to the group he was sizing them up. But it was the one he wasn't considering a threat who grabbed the gun and shot him.

Before even watching the video, I can tell the actors really got into their roles just from me playing the game. The voice acting was incredible.

I think it's the best of the industry honestly. They all do a phenomenal job.

It helps that the face mocap is spot on too (which I know is also due to the actors). They do a good job emoting without saying much at all which is still rather new for video games in a realistic style.

They do talk about the museum scene later on. Around 58 minutes in. Looks like Troy checked out right before it though. I haven't got up to it yet.

They're talking about the scene where Joel dies.

I don't know if I've ever seen actors get this emotional over a video game before. Interesting stuff seeing them talk about the game.

I guess it makes sense why Troy Baker gets so defensive over these games. They do mean a lot to him.

You must admit it is an odd situation. I just don't get why they don't just recast. Bringing in an entirely new main character basically makes the character arc of the main character from season 1 pointless. Then again, the show had abysmal ratings so maybe they are trying to shake things up in the hope that'll bring in more viewers.

Err it had the second highest ratings on the network?

Yeah 4 had a lot going on for it. Including another terrible romance between Meryl and the guy who shits his pants. That's on top of another sham marriage within that game.

Ugh MGS4.

Didn't he randomly fall in love with his step-sister in 2 as well? I think MGS1 was where he was handled the best and I can forgive the clunkiness there since it was a PS1 game. The others should have been handled better. I don't know if I can think of romances or relationships that are handled worse in a video game. Maybe that one where a detective had sex with a zombie.

John Diggle was created for the show wasn't he? He became the Green Arrow for a brief period. He's also gonna be the Green Lantern in this universe.

this is a little different. its true that they keep turning comic book redheads into black people for some reason. but this is not that exactly this time. this woman isn't Kate Kane. she's someone else. a totally new character.

to be honest I think I wish she WAS Kate. they could have someone on the show say "this lady is Kate Kane from another universe where she is black. and she just happened to come to our universe right when our Kate left Gotham"

at least it would still be Kate Kane then

I don't think the CW shows are particularly concerned about being faithful adaptations of the comics.

Abby is also a mirror flip of Ellie in a lot of ways. But I think she more plays a mirror of Joel in TLOU1.

She loses the biggest thing she cares about. She goes in a dark place for several years. She pushes away the people around her who care for her. Unlike Joel she has a change to get revenge but it just makes things worse for her. She eventually finds somebody new to live and fight for. Abby even ends up betraying her allies solely to save Lev. Which is exactly what Joel did at the end of the first game. She even fights in a similar method to him.

I wonder if it ever clicks for her why Joel did what he did. She has that conversation with her father. She knows why but I wonder if her experience with Lev helps her understand why.

Going by the post-game menu she has found the Fireflies. So I wonder what their new purpose will be.

I do think there's room for a sequel here more than the first game but I still have no idea what it would be. I guess it would be about Ellie finding her purpose in the world. Maybe Tommy will die at the start of the game so we have a trilogy of games where a Miller dying is a catalyst for the events ahead heh.
