What if Joel never died in The Last of Us Part II? Thank to some PC mods I played through the entirety of The Last of Us Part II as Joel.

I played this on custom difficulty (everything set to grounded, resources on hard) and couldn't melee for Ellie's half of the game, but for Abby's half I also didn't melee (except for the couple parts in the forest section I absolutely HAD to).
