Everything said here is 100% wrong. Play the game yourself and make up your own mind.
I expound on my Abby thoughts in my post after this but she is fine. I expected to hate her as well but really liked her character by the end and find her far more sympathetic than Ellie.Ah shit I thought we just played as her in the beginning to help make the shocking death even more impact full. I have no desire to play more as her. Well not looking forward to that
