The Wolf Among Us: Episode 2

It says I shut out Crane regarding Snow's death, but I did not actually do that, so I am really confused.
I persuaded Dee to talk. Bluebeard is an ass and I'm not going to make him happy.
I let Snow come with me. She's an independent wamen.
I didn't hit Georgie, which made the entire scene hilariously bad because I never actually broke anything and he kept reacting like I did
I did not hit Beast again. My Bigby is not a particularly violent one. At least not yet.
This one had some moments that pushed me forward when I didn't want to be pushed forward, and some scenes that didn't really work with the choices I made. The writing for the different paths was a little weak. Still liking the overall story and tone, though.
Also Beauty is terrible. Beast is pretty terrible too. I wonder if there will be an option to fuck them over later. I'll take it.

I didn't interrupt Snow. I'm not an asshole.
I investigated Crane's Apartment first.
I made a deal with Jack.
I offered a job to Flycatcher.
I didn't burn Greenleaf's tree. Essentially, for the last three choices, Bigby is a decent guy.
I killed Tweedle Dum. Essentially, when he gets shot a couple dozen times, Bigby is not a decent guy.

I didn't send Colin to the Farm.
I didn't attempt to remove Nerissa's ribbon.
I went to the Lucky Pawn first.
I didn't send Toad to the farm.
I agreed to talk with the Crooked Man.
The farm is some fucked up shit, the ribbon is probably boobytrapped, and the Crooked Man has all his henchmen there so a brawl is not the way to go.

I killed Georgie. He was a decent guy and wasn't to blame for the murders, didn't deserve a slow agonizing death.
I gave the Crooked Man a trial. The community needed to see him die. It could be spun against Snow/Bigby without doing it that way.
I ripped the Crooked Man's fucking head off. I don't really like the PR ramifications of this but with the Crooked Man's Crooked Realm portals and shit, I did not trust that throwing him down the well alive would lead to him actually staying down there. Also, he tried to strangle me. Fuck his couch.
I accepted TJ's gift as did almost everyone else, why is this a choice.
I said 'I hope I've done some good here' to Nerissa.

Ultimately, I'm disappointed in this game. While I enjoyed the story a lot, I don't feel like I ever had choices. My actions would have been different in many, many parts of this story. I wasn't given the chance to do what would have made sense, or to alter the outcome in any meaningful way. I'm not complaining about the illusion of choice, I'm complaining about the straight up lack of it. Why the fuck was Toad sent to the farm, for example? That shouldn't have happened. My Bigby wouldn't have let that happen. There were plenty of other things like that, too, like the Crooked Man yelling at me for not waiting for Tiny Tim when I did wait for him! Ugh.
Good story, terrible interactive video game. About middle of the road for Telltale, in my opinion.
