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

3. Killing Georgie

There's not many nice things you can say about Georgie; he's a bit of a rotter. Owner of the seedy Pudding & Pie, he has several appearances throughout The Wolf Among Us as Bigby attempts to solve the murders of Faith and Lily. He's reluctant to co-operate and clearly has no ill feelings about running a prostitution ring using enslaved women. It also turns out that he is the murderer in the game's story, although he was acting on the Crooked Man's orders. Following the mass brawl that opens Episode Five, Bigby mortally wounds Georgie before chasing him back to the Pudding and Pie. Here, George's crimes are laid out in detail (although he refuses to accept responsibility for them). He also tries to trick Bigby into killing Vivian (the original Girl with the Ribbon who's magic was used to enslave all the girls) before she commits suicide. Vivian's death finally defeats Georgie and he collapses in a heap. Bigby attempts to take him in but George admits he's done for. He asks Bigby to give him a quick and merciful death; of course, this is left up to the player. It doesn't have any impact on the game but, again, it's all about developing Bigby's character. Is he the sort of man to leave a Fable to suffer? Should he give Georgie an easy death despite his many crimes? All of these things have to be thought upon within a short space of time before making this choice; it's pretty intense.
