The Nate Era

The Nate Era (AKA The Age of Natanism) is the third main Era of the OTWDF. Following Domewing's initial departure, dfh15 (AKA Nate) was made an admin of the forum.

Domewing's temporary departure to slay villains and romance all kinds of creatures in Dragon Age: Inqusition eventually turned out to be permanent after he couldn't see himself coming back in any capacity, with the decision likely being influenced by a decline in quality of games made by Telltale. May he always succeed, wherever he is now.

After Michonne, which received an almost univerally negative reception (save for one trailer-obsessed fan who'd go as far as Photoshopping the end credits to the game to "prove" that Telltale used one of his favorite songs for his copy of the game only), everyone's eyes turned to A New Frontier - then treated as the third season of The Walking Dead.

Impressions were mixed to average after the initial two-part premiere and went downhill from there. It actually caused a wave of refunds. After a string of failures (Batman included), Kevin Brunner was finally forced out of the company and Pete Hawley was appointed as the CEO, with his task being to overturn the luck of the company it suffered under Brunner's command. This caused The Enemy Within (Batman S2) to be an improvement over S1 and the beginnings of The Final Season of The Walking Dead to be actually quite good.

Unfortunately, Telltale was shut down without warning in September 2018. (I know, it was a majority studio closure, blah blah blah, but you get the idea) Skybound managed to save TFS and finish it, but Telltale was no more.

And then, in March 2019 - when the final episode of the game, "Take Us Back" was released - the forum slowed down, almost to a halt. Maybe it's the format that got exhausted, who knows.

But after April and May 2019, it basically ceased all activity, save for an occasional shout in the shoutbox or a post here and there. It's not closed, but now it's only a memory.

And then, the Third Age of the Middle-Earth ended-- I mean, The Nate Era, that is.

But is that over? No. Far from it.

We're adaptable.

But yet, some form of it sort of got revived through an discord server called "Telltale Graveyard" (Invite - czV8TzQ) which spilled the tea on a lot of unused content that Telltale got rid of, lots of stuff that weren't found before, such as WD3 ep1 fuckery as well as Tavia's whole unused chapter.

The result? Pure hatred and no helping hands as to uncover more stuff, because y'know, this community has always been selfish and not willing to help out with anything. Thanks Tormunds and Megan.
