Batman, The Telltale Series, episode one, review

One of the story threads that looks like it’ll run the course of the Telltale series is Harvey Dent’s campaign to become mayor of Gotham City. Chapter two sees the action largely taking place in Wayne Manor, as Bruce, the most vocal (and wealthiest) backer of Dent’s campaign hosts a gala to help rally support. The duo isteamed together to rid Gotham of crime and corruption and to help those in need, with their proposed plan to build a new mental hospital in the place of Arkham Asylum.

A little chit chat with Dent, Bob and Regina Zellerbach, and news reporter Vicki Vale ensues until eventually, an unexpected guest arrives in the form of Carmine Falcone.

Alfred suggests you speak to this guest in private, and after some not so pleasantries, you’ll do exactly that in the parlor. One thing to note here is the offer of the handshake. You can choose to accept this here in the hope of looking like a good host, or ignore his offer on the grounds of him being a criminal and a downright horrible person.

Both Bruce and Falcone move into the parlor where business discussions commence. Falcone explains that he’s willing to help Dent get the mayor’s seat, as long as his businesses are allowed to keep moving once Dent gets in power. Essentially, Falcone wants a promise that all of his criminal activities will continue to go unnoticed once Dent gets in power, suggesting a similar deal was made with the current mayor, mayor Hill.

Here, you’ll have the option to either somewhat accept his offer or decline. Whichever option you’ll pick, Falcone will then bring your family into the conversation, passing comment that your father, Thomas Wayne, was also involved in crime.

Another speech option will arise before Alfred comes in and alerts you that the guests are leaving. The chapter ends and it’s time for a change of scenery.
