The Wolf Among Us: 10 Most Harrowing Decisions We Had To Make

10. Saving Prince Lawrence

Sometimes the worst decisions are the ones you didn't even know you were making. In the first episode of The Wolf Among Us - "Faith" - Bigby and Snow have to choose whether to head to Prince Lawrence's apartment (to tell him of the death of his wife Faith) or to Toad's apartment (to catch someone rooting through The Woodman's apartment above) first. It seems quite a simple choice (you do visit both areas eventually anyway) but which one you visit first has huge repercussions. If you arrive at Lawrence's apartment second (as in, after going to see Toad), you'll find him on the brink of death, only able to utter a few words before passing. However, heading to Lawrence's first gives you the opportunity to save his life; he will simply play dead whilst an intruder searches his home. Saving him in Episode One means he'll appear throughout the remainder of the series, giving you a welcome ally in the game's climax. Telltale's choice-based gameplay has been criticised by some for only offering the illusion of choice (particularly in The Walking Dead where the game's narrative only changed slightly) but the consequences of this one seemingly innocent choice in The Wolf Among Us shows the vast improvements they introduced in this series.

I have an addiction to achievements, a craving for new bands and a dream to become Captain America. I once finished second in a Mario Kart 7 tournament so I'm kind of a big deal.
