So many spared them! So many are so weak!

[Master of Aeons]

I killed the first, the second died before I could, and the second I left alive because I was being watched and because he was too pitiful to do anything. Then he got eaten by his mama.

Now I ended up sparing them, but I honestly thought that there would have been time LATER for the group to decide what to do to them.

With Danny in the barn, he was already trapped. Katjaa and Duck were still in danger. I figured "Guarantee everyone's safety, THEN come back."

Brenda got bitten by Walker Mark, Katjaa was safe - we still had to find Duck.

Andy was tough. In the end, though, he had lost everything. He WANTED to die. Everyone was watching, but I didn't see the need for vengeance in their faces - I saw a group of people who wanted nothing more than to leave. So I picked to leave, and would have dealt with the consequences of either/both of them returning later. Then the fence gave out, and a Walker army descended upon the farm. I'm pretty sure the St. John's are gone for good.

Now, this goes in line with my rule that we don't kill ANYONE who is not a direct threat to my safety or the safety of my group. (Jolene was the ONLY exception to this rule, and it was because I was more interested in what she was going to say about Danny than anything else).

Also, there is a little bit of poetic justice about leaving the brother's alive. Who would have thought that the very thing that they resorted to in the same of "survival" (cannibalism) is the very thing that led to their downfall. Danny is genuinely confused that you chose not to kill him. Andy was a man who had lost everything. They spend the last moments of their lives in this state.

On my Doug save I killed them both and on my Carly save I kept both alive just to see if there is a difference if I leave both alive or dead

Maybe you'll find some nice rapists and necrophiliacs to make friends with in episode 3!

Seriously though, I'm glad to see other people taking different approaches to their playthroughs than I am. Though I still hope all you naive morality fetishists get bit in the ass big-time for decisions like this in future episodes.

I hear you. I killed them both simply because the risk of letting them live outweighed the benfit of letting them live. That's how the criminal justice system works in my game.

[RappinReggie]

all of the above, but it felt sooooo much better killing all three of them...well two, I let Mark have a little revenge too (He deserved it, poor guy)

In addition to the brothers and Brendas atrocities performed on our group, I had Negan on my mind

Quoting this because it needs to be repeated. I couldn't have said it better myself man. As for the bolded part, if TTG has the balls to actually go that route, they'll earn a customer for life.

This one won't come back - everyone's dead regardless of the choices. But I think it's a freebie situation. Every last one of the bandits are going to kill Lee the second he chooses the turn around option.

[Gman5852]

Clicked the wrong option, I killed Danny, not Andy.

[Saxin]

I killed noone because Danny was more likely getting overrunned by zombies since they were like right next to the barn and Andy was devestated.. In shock.. I don't think he will be able to do anything knowing his family is dead/dying And I dont want Clem to witness them getting brutally murdered, How does Andy die if you kill him anyways?

[MakersWax]

I killed them both because they both would have killed Lee. I might not have killed the first brother but I failed the quick-time challenge in the barn and was blown away. The next time, I was more than happy to pitchfork him. After the second brother meant to electrocute me, I returned the favor in style.

The group is gong to know now that if you're out to kill Lee, he won't let you off if you fail. Retribution is his middle name. I don't regret either decision one bit.

[KCohere]

Killed the first brother without even really thinking about it, Clementine freaked out, couldnt bring myself to kill the other one in front of her. After her seeing Larry get murdered and then that and her knowing Lee already killed someone before the apocalypse, I couldn't bear the thought of Clementine becoming afraid of me. I need her to trust my Lee. So thats what was in my head and influenced my decision. Its was mostly taken out of my hands anyway as Im sure his mother probably gave him the chomp.

[CapnJay]

or worse Clementine becoming Lee

You with shoot him or push him into the electric fence.

[CapnJay]

Can we actually shoot andy? cause if so i wanna do that part again

You can. Ive seen in it walkthroughs. The one time I killed him, I just kicked him into a fence so when I saw other people shoot him, I wondered where they got the gun from, lol.

[Dee Jay]

I killed both brothers because they were both goading me. Danny was more based on instinct whereas I'd got my own back on Andy by telling him his brother and mother were dead before I killed him.

When I replay the game I doubt I'll kill either since you know Danny isn't going to be a threat after he gets caught in the trap and if I resisted baiting Andy I don't think I'd see him as being so dangerous to keep alive. I guess it'll also help with looking after Clem for her to not see you killing people that were alive albeit completely crazy.

Maybe it depends if you have Doug or Carley in your group?

It's andy's gun. When the option to start punching happens, don't do it. Andy will then try to throw you off. You'll struggle. Andy will bounce off the electric fence and remain alive. you pick up the gun. Discussion sequence occurs. Then you have the option to give him a bullet to the head or walk away.
