"Georgie Porgie, pudding and pie, kissed the girls and made them cry."

I noticed he had "kiss the girls" tattooed on his chest in that little snippit you see of him.

Initially I played going to Toad's place first so I never got the 'Georgie' and when a friend related it to me I thought it might have been 'Geordie' and referring to the Tweedle brothers accent - ie from Northern England!!  Image IPB

But yeah - after I checked it out - I take it that he was Faith's pimp.

Another thing about Faith. She said "Do you like my ribbon" and hinted that this was her way to tell Bigby(and not Bigsby) who she was. True enough, it was the ring tied to the ribbon that let Bigby learn who she was. Plus, she can also say "I won't be doing this for long."  And also, she said she would pass by Bigby's apartment later on; which she did, as a severed head.

To me, it seems the possibilities are threefold:

1-Faith knew what would happen and that the killer would stick the ribbon and ring in her mouth. Possible, I suppose but why wouldn't she do anything to save herself?

2-Faith swallowed the ribbon herself. Unlikely, the killer would notice and remove it.

3-Faith is still alive and she left the fake head plus the ribbon and ring so that Bigby would learn who she was.

At any rate, all evidence seems to point ou to Faith knowing what would happen regardless if she is behind the whole thing or not.

Unless, of course, this is all misleading information. For instance, in the Human Noble Origin in DAO, Fergus says to his son "You'll se a sword soon enough." which he does when Howe's men stick one in him. Obviously, this was just Bioware being ironic since Fergus had no idea what would happen. Telltale might be doing the same.

I don't recall Bigby having said that the gun hadn't been fired for weeks and in this video he makes no mention of the gun having not been fired.

 In this scenario, I went to Toad's first.

So, either Telltale made a mistake or Dee was lying because Lawrence couldn't have shot himself with it moments ago.


In regards to the knife - it was an obvious failed attempt at suicide as Bigby refers to the dried blood on Lawrences wrist.

Ok, I hadn't caugth that.

Did someone else notice this? Take a close look at Faith's left hand.

And now...

Oh Hai ring.

What if the ring was what Faith was looking for in the Woodsman's pockets? And remember how Toad says Dum went there looking for something the Woodsman had? And how he wouldn't accept Faith's coat?
What if the ring is what thse brother's employer is looking for? Maybe Faith or somone else thought it would be safer with Bigby

Hmm, are you suggesting Faith and Snow might be faking their deaths? Possibly in some elaborate scheme to reveal some sinister conspiracy? Sounds like the sort of thing that might happen in the comics at any rate.

Well, Snow was constantly talking about wanting to enact change, but felt she couldn't do so from behind a desk. Framing Crane/someone else for murder or simply bringing attention to the dystopia the Fables live in sounds desperate, but it sounds like something she'd do.

Only thing is, the NYPD obviously got to the scene of Snow's head, and obviously they'd take it back for an autopsy and examination. If it's a fake head/someone else's, blood tests (especially if the blood is fake/non-human blood put within the head) would prove it, so obviously her death wouldn't be suspected for long.

Well yeah. Still, it's a bit of an overkill. Perhaps if you'd chose to not do it Grendel would later change his attitude towards Bigsby, thus slowly other Fables would come to realize that the Sheriff's not so bad. It's up to Bigby to prove that they can trust him. I just think being respected is better than being feared.


I chose not to rip his arm off for this very reason.  We're bombarded from the start that he's trying to show he's reformed from being the big bad wolf, a good sherriff can get results without resorting to extremes. Snow alludes to treatment of others when she and Bigby are at Toads place and Toad and Colin certainly are not backward in saying the same.  At the same time though, there would be occasions where he will likely need to show he's not to be messed with, but he did that with Grendel anyhow when he transformed (not ripping his arm off meant he just chose restraint once he made his point.)


I chose to have Bigby tear off the arm, but didn't necessarily see it as inconsistent with how he was portrayed. While Bigby is struggling to show that he's turned over a new leaf, does he have full control over his bestial nature when he is angered? Is it kind of like a former drug addict or alcoholic who no matter how long they've been sober, they always run the risk of relapse?

I'm just going by that one chapter in the game mind you, as I haven't read the comics. Perhaps in the comics Bigby has perfect self-control over that inner beast. With my only exposure to the character being the game, I wondered whether he might not always be able to control it, no matter whatever good intentions he might otherwise have.

Right now I'm thinking I'm going to go the flawed hero route with Bigby. He's mostly good, but every now and then the wolf is going to win the inner stuggle between beast and man.

Oh. My. God.

I just finished it.

I'm soooooooo glad The Walking Dead wasn't a one hit wonder. This is turning out to be awesome.

P.S Isn't Snow a spitting image of Elizabeth?

What choices did you make Sim?

Bad ones xD

In general, I was kind to the characters, though when I had to be a hard-ass, I was one.

I gave money to faith (I really liked her the poor thing.)
I chose to go to Frog's place first (though illogical considering we saw a dagger and blood in Lawerence's apartment; but the guy did sound in trouble, and it was suspicious that someone who wasn't the woodsman to return to the flat.)
I didn't tear the ****'s arm off (but I did hit him first.)
I chose the Woodsman instead of Dum/Dee

Not all the choices I made are the ones I'd repeat in hindsight. But they were in the 'heat of the moment' kind of thing, which is why I love TaleTell choices, they make you panic xD

By the way, are the consequences that harsh, or do they only make very slight differences?

Not that I'm an expert on the setting (hell, I never knew 'Falbes' existed before the game.) But it seems that these murders are actual murders. I know they're hard to kill, but maybe it's like "Highlander." Decapitation being the way to go.

Unless you're a comic reader and you know otherwise. Then I will bow my head in shame xD

There's some folklore about a women with a ribbon around her head.
For years the husband ask about the ribbon and she doesn't want to tell anything.
One day he untie it and her head fall off....

Anyway spoilers ahead...

If i had to guess , I'd say it is some sort of conspiracy , probably from minor Fable ...
Snow may have sacrificed herself for the cause (and well she should be fine anyway...)
Maybe they want BlueBeard brought to some form of justice?
I think the Donkeygirl was forced by X to go along the plan , and her being beheaded was probably magical and she can get her head sew back or something.
The way she tried to brought Bigby attention to her ribbon was suspicious .

Going to Lawrence's place first can result in him living, and Toad's place remains pretty much identical, although by going to Toad's first, I believe TJ is only threatened, going to Lawrence's first results in him being roughed up a bit. Toad is probably less than happy with Bigby for waiting.


Nobody suspects Colin or Beast, huh? I'm getting in on the ground floor of that. They did it. Don't know how, don't know why, they just did. :wizard:

Poor TJ. I swear I thought he was being beaten by Toad, if that turned out to be true I'd kick his ass. But it turns out Toad is a pretty awesome guy.

P.S Beast vs Bigsy.

It's gonna be awesome!

I agree, it's not inconsistent, you can certainly play it that way. And it's interesting that you say about him maybe not always able to control his transformation as I was thinking about that only yesterday and was wondering if finding Snow at the end could tip him further that way.

I was worried Toad had been beating TJ, but, yeah, he's an awesome Dad and you can tell TJ loves his pa!

And suspects, I didn't even consider Colin!

Well, I've read some of the comics.  The only person I've seen survive beheading was Pinocchio, and that was because he reverted to a wooden puppet, his head could be reattached though he had to be brought to life again.  That said, I know of one other particularly popular Fable that had half her head blown off by a sniper yet recovered eventually.  Another had an axe embedded in her skull, was tossed off a cliff and then run over by an eighteen wheeler, all in rapid succession.  She recovered too.  That's just the particularly popular ones though.

The very first story arc of the comics is a faked murder, so I wouldn't rule it out entirely.  I'm still convinced Ichabod's old nemesis is involved.

so after 2 months of nothing, telltale has finally released an update on an update of an eta. whoop de do dee doo. and the next update is after the holidays. that makes it a 3 month gap minimum between 2 episodes. but hey, why bother keeping up with a schedule right? they already have the money (season pass holders on consoles and everyone on pc).



Edit: oh, and I am ssuuuurrrrrreeee the release of the walking dead season 2, or even that rumored game of thrones game has ABSOLUTELY no effect on this game's release window. I mean, there is ABSOLUTELY no reason for a company to struggle with two game releases when they previously struggled with one, rite?? Ergh.

Hmm, I think it might get closer together after TWD season 2 and TWAU are rolling concurrently. One after the other, or something like that.

TellTale is pretty busy right now.

No, i do not. I do expect a paid product to be released in a timely and consistent fashion, or failing that, some communication from them to us to explain the delay. Neither is present. Yes, i am quite budthurt.

So we finally have a release date for Episode 2.

There better not be this much of a gap between every episode.

"We are very concerned about the long delay for this episode, but this is one of those occasions where several things conspired against us (not to mention the additional delays due to the holidays). I won't dive into the details, but it’s been an unusual and specific set of circumstances and we do not anticipate it happening again as we go forward with the rest of the season."


Fingers crossed!
