Adaptation Expansion: The digital-first comic adaptation of the game adds a lot more backstory.
Adaptation Distillation: The game focuses primarily on Bigby Wolf and the Noir sensibility.
It's also possible he could be glamoured. Justified, as he could have cleaned up in the past 300 years and it does match his appearance in the source material. The original Bluebeard was described as hideously ugly (with wild, unkempt hair).
Adaptational Attractiveness: Bluebeard appears as a handsome bald man in the game.
The comics also very plainly show that if he is released from that community service and instead is offered an actual job that he can quit any time he likes, he goes into a Heroic BSoD because then he feels compelled to quit the job and return to the Homelands to look for his missing family. The comics, however, make it clear that Flycatcher isn't actually employed by the Fabletown government - he's on constant community service because he keeps eating flies in public.
Flycatcher having been "let go" by Ichabod Crane and getting a job for the Tweedles instead.
Were this true in the game, Bigby would have known immediately that Snow wasn't dead. It's also revealed in the comics that his connection to Snow White is so powerful, he knows exactly where she is and what she's feeling at every point in time by her musk alone. The majority of these moments of tension wouldn't last for more than a few minutes if his sense of smell was as powerful as it is in the comics, and if it was even as strong as a normal dog or wolf, the chase scenes would be much less "which way did they go"-ish. A lot of points in the game rely on things being a surprise to the player, and by extension Bigby himself. In the comics, it is revealed that Bigby's sense of smell is so powerful, he has to chain smoke to dull his senses and make things bearable. It's assumed Dum is as well, being, well, twins.
Acrofatic: Tweedle Dee, in spades, during his foot chase with Bigby.
Accidental Hero: As the Woodsman confesses, he went to Grandmother's House attempting to rob her and Red Riding Hood, only to find Bigby already there and end up being lauded as a hero for cutting the pair out.
That scene never appears in the actual episode, Bigby never brings the possibility up, and the purpose of the murders was to cover up a conspiracy.
FABLES THE WOLF AMONG US SEASON 2 SERIAL
The preview of Episode 2 at the end of Episode 1 shows Bigby discussing with Crane the (very realistic) possibility that a serial killer is responsible for the murders.
Nothing is ever made of this by the end of the season.
Kelsey Brannigan, the cop that grills Bigby in Episode 2's beginning, is shown in pre-release Episode 3 materials and it's hinted that Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum are assigned to watch her if you go a particular path.
The Wolf Among Us contains examples of the following tropes: Please note that, as the first season has concluded and the page is whited out otherwise, spoilers for the first three episodes will be unmarked. The comic closely follows the plot of the game, but adds a lot of backstory, with a good third of the comic devoted to extended flashback sequences in which we not only see Bigby's early years in the mundane world and his history with some of the other characters, but also the backstories of the game's antagonists. The Wolf Among Us has also been adapted into a 16-issue digital-first comic series. The game was Un-Cancelled in 2019 after Telltale Games was reformed by LCG Entertainment.
Episode 5 - "Cry Wolf" (Released July 8, 2014)Ī second season was announced in 2018, but it was later cancelled due to the abrupt closure of Telltale Games.
Episode 4 - "In Sheep's Clothing" (Released May 27, 2014).
Episode 3 - "A Crooked Mile" (Released April 8, 2014).
Episode 2 - "Smoke and Mirrors" (Released February 4, 2014).
