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

5. Killing Tweedledum

The climax of Episode Three - "A Crooked Mile" - is one of the most exciting moments in The Wolf Among Us. The character of Bloody Mary is introduced and Bigby is pushed to his limits by her and her two henchmen - Tweedledum and Tweedledee. Bigby has to deal with the two Tweedles constantly throughout the series and it all comes to a head here. Having been roughed up by their guns, Bigby goes into full wolf mode, unleashing his primal fury on both Tweedles in retaliation. This is the first time that the player can choose to have Bigby kill someone; he grabs Tweedledum by the throat and the player has to choose whether he deserves to die, just like a Roman Emperor of old. Choosing to kill him sees Bigby brutally rip out Dum's throat and leave him for dead, whereas if you spare him he'll simply slump to the ground and presumably flee with his brother. The latter him means he'll show up in the game's final episode, though he has no speaking lines (he was a man of few words anyway). This is a key moment in Bigby's development; the Tweedles have been a thorn in his side throughout the game but if he kills Dum, he's murdering one of the Fables he's employed to protect. It's a decision that can only be decided by the player's personal view on Bigby's role as Sheriff; is he a man wishing to seek revenge as well as justice or does he still abide by honor and duty? While we may not see all the consequences from these key moments in the game's narrative, in our own minds this incident changes the way we view Bigby and his role in Fabletown.
