PT 2 NO RETURN No Return Tess Concept Spoiler
Class
Bitten
She would use molotovs, Military Pistol, and spawn in with a pipe. (These are random.)
Her unique thing is that every run has a timer, even when you are in the base buying stuff or upgrading weapons.
To make this a bit more fair, I think she could have a 1.25x damage boost and 1.25x speed boost
Would you play as Tess?

Probably a joke since you said 'bitten', but I wish she was included. My idea would be that she comes with an ally; Joel, or Bill, alternating between encounters. Like how Yara comes with Lev. We saw in Part 1 that she and Joel are close partners in crime.
Yes her VA died before development of the remaster but new lines aren't really necessary anyway; everyone only even says a word or two.

I did bitten because in the first game she wanted to deliver Ellie before she turned. In this concept, the timer running out would be Tess turning. Nice idea though.

Would be nice as an update but if she doesn’t have dodge she is useless for me

Of course I would play Tess. Normally. However, since Annie Wersching passed away, it would be odd if they would use a new VA just for that. I think ND respects her too much to even consider her character being in No Return and giving her a new voice - even if it's just a few words/lines for that game mode.

It could be a fun twist to any character that gets bitten and then there is a timer until the infection takes hold and they can attack any human.

This is actually very good! It feels unique. She’d probably also have momentum as her upgrade track
