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

When Telltale announced they were making a series of episodic games based off of DC Comics' relatively unknown Fables series, you would have been forgiven for being slightly apprehensive. After all, the company had just reinvented the graphic adventure genre with the immensely popular The Walking Dead; following up with a game based on a lesser known license could have been risky. Thankfully, Telltale have some magic up their sleeves and The Wolf Among Us is just as good as (in fact it could be, whisper it, better than) The Walking Dead. The game's titular hero might not be human but the problems and issues faced by Bigby Wolf make him as relatable as any character. Plus, he's a supernatural badass, which always helps. As with The Walking Dead, The Wolf Among Us allows the player to shape the story through their own choices and decisions. Nearly all of Bigby's dialogue can be picked from up to four choices, giving player control of nearly everything, from small snippets of chatter to huge, game-changing decisions. While the game may still follow a fairly linear narrative, making these choices helps involve the player more and appeals to our imagination, even if we're only deciding whether a character makes a silent appearance in a later episode or not. Some of the big choices are interestingly complex; they really make you question your morality; should Bigby Wolf be the monster everyone wants him to be or should he be trying to win people over with a friendlier outlook on things? These questions are posed to the player by the game and it's why it's so engrossing; several decisions in the game have harrowing consequences and its these choices which we're going to be exploring in this article. Some of these seem relatively minor but in the heat of the moment, with time ticking away, it's amazing what races through your mind as you attempt to work through the game in the manner you deem best. If you can think of any other choices which had you sweating in your seat, leave them in the comments below. Or, if you just want to declare your interest in a second season of this terrific series, leave your pleas below too and hopefully Telltale will give us exactly what we want.
