    Any rumours about Part II being part of The Game Awards lineup?

    I know it TLOU wasn't expected to be a part of the State of Play, I'm just wondering if Naughty Dog might release some footage/trailer now that the release got extended.

    Did Tommy accidentally kill Sarah (Joel's daughter).

    Just played for the first time. Based on when Sarah begins bleeding and her being in the path of the bullet, was the creator's intent to show Tommy accidentally killed Sarah when he shot the soldier?

    Not your usual thoughts

    Well, the 20 years of struggling for survival made Joel to lose his humanity and become a psycho. We see he torturing and killing during all the story, from start to the end, which he always does without showing any regret. If being a psycho on a dystopia is a bad thing or not, I won't debate it right now. As an extension, Joel only cares about people that help him on his surviving struggle which are Tess (a psycho like him), Bill (about the same), Tommy, and after a certain point, Ellie.

    As we play Joel we grow sympathy for him and his ways without noticing we are playing the baddest guy on the story. On the other hand, Fireflies are the annoyingly naive good guys from the start. Remember Marlene at the harbor. She's badly hurt and there is not a single "help me" moment at all. Her only concern is getting Ellie to the physicians/researchers which means to find a cure to benefit the mankind, and to do that she's willing to trade a large amount of equipment (proved to be true). At the end we learn they had managed to keep a hospital. That's not what we expect villains to do. People usually assume fireflies are aiming for wealth by selling the cure but if so, that would be the worse try ever. They should be looting, robbing or trading drugs if all they want is wealth.

    Joel accepting to deliver the cargo Ellie after Tess's death is still an enigma for me. He clearly shows no affection over her (Ellie) at this point. The only reason for him to do so would be that he's a man on his word, which doesn't fit his only goal, which is to survive.

    Ellie is still nothing but a cargo to Joel until her first kill. His stance towards her starts to change as he tries her as a rifleman right after that. Now she's a useful tool for him, at best.

    So they find Henry and Sam. Why are they on the story? That I can't say for sure but we can use them to evaluate Joel and Ellie as we compare them to Henry and Sam, respectively. At a certain point, an important conversation takes place between Ellie and Sam as he asks her about her fears. While Sam fears death above all, Ellie only fears being alone. We know they both are being honest as we see Sam panics all the time but Ellie doesn't. We saw her afraid to leave Marlene at the harbor cut scene and we'll see it again whenever she feels she's going to be alone, like when they get Joel gets badly hurt later on the story.

    They eventually reach Tommy's place. Joel tries to drop Ellie at the first opportunity he has. After Ellie' run away, a conversation "I'm not your father and I will never be. We will get separated" (or something like that) takes place at the ranch house. After all, Joel decides to keep going. Why does he still keep his word? Might have something to do with the promise he made to the dying Tess.

    Ellie's fear of being left alone leads her to take care of Joel as he gets badly sick from the wound infection, in the Fall. This is a turning point as he starts showing a kind of attachment about her from near nothing to something else. We mistake this as a growing father/daughter relationship but it's not. She's actively working for his survival, that's all he values.

    After the still psycho Joel torturing and killing a guard and an unarmed Marlene besides all the shit we made him do in the surgery room lol, it comes the final cut scene which is very interesting. Death was never a problem to Ellie, she was always okay with it, as shown on their prior conversation about destiny. When he lies about the fireflies encounter, she immediately shows deep sorrow and rolls on her side on the car's backseat, I guess to cry without him (and us) noticing. Why that? She is alive, Joel is alive, they are going to the nice Tommy and Maria's little town. They had electricity, you know. She never knew the world before the collapse, and showed no admiration for the futile lifestyle of "combining clothes" and watch stupid movies. Why would her feel that sad for not contributing to a cure? I think that's because she thought that was her purpose of life and it couldn't be fulfilled anymore. A little detail here: he touches his watch when says "you" before the line "no matter what, you keep finding something to fight for". She suspects/realizes he's lying about the fireflies encounter, asks him to swear it's true. Again, despite her sadness, her wishes and the little humankind destiny detail, he lies straight right in her face all because he decided to keep her as a daughter as he had never got over his lost. She now knows he won't leave and that's enough for her. It's all about him, he's a flat character to the end.
