Oh I see, you're a girl. So now I cant state the fact that I've been harping on since my 2nd post in this place that people are too emotional and not thinking in a ZA mentality? GET OVER YOURSELF.

Every single person who's created a 'save <this person> thread' is being too emotional. But hey, if you want to use that crutch to defend your weak ass position, run with it.

How many times does a guy have to leave you for dead and threaten you in order for you not to trust him?

[DreadMagus]

I have to admit, my memory of what he said in episode 2 isn't photographic.... but I don't recall a threat in what Larry said, just... hard-headed bluster.

I would, of course, have to replay the episode or see it again to know for sure.

Edit: I do remember I was pretty pissed after the man had finished exercising his cake-hole though.

Ok Cyreen

[Geryk]

I don't care what happens to Ben.

[DreadMagus]

I hope he's eaten by cackling midgets.

[Planeforger]

Honestly, I kind of forgive the guy.

He might not be very bright, but he was trying to look out for his friend, he spent the entirity of episode 3 being so damn remorseful, and he ultimately came clean with Lee.

It doesn't seem like he's ever going to make that mistake again, not after seeing the consequences of his actions...so I'll definitely be trusting him a little more from now on (strangely enough).

[sirjohn45]

for Ben's deception he will die as soon as possible for letting Carley be killed...

[HelloCthulhu]

I wonder how many of the forgivers changed their mind after the newest trailer.

[rachellouise85]

We don't know if what we see in the trailer is what happens, or just something that can happen, based on how you've treated characters. I don't know if Kenny will be throwing me the gun.

Even if that's the same whatever, he's a kid and panicked again. I will probably be blaming lee, or myself for leaving clem alone. Just like I blamed Lee for sending Clem off to the toilet on her own. Could have at least checked the place out first rather than assuming.

Ben is old enough to make decisions and even have the guts to steal when Lilly is not around on episode 3.
Your old enough to save Clem.
Lee is part of the blame on episode 2 for sending off Clem alone to use the toilet.
Ever since that incident, I didnt see lee left Clem out of his sight.

Ben got to help others in this game since we don't have many living ones around.

[rachellouise85]

I didn't get the point of that post. My old enough to save clem? If you haven't missed out a word or something there, I know I'm old enough O.o I also have a child. I'm not sure how either of those facts have any bearing on Ben's age, maturity, or mental disposition.

I stated that I blamed lee/myself for leaving clem alone. Obviously, she is not at Lee's/my side at that point, in the middle of the zombies. Can you clear up the meaning of your post?

I didn't. I'll write pretty much what I wrote on another post. I'm guessing that that scene has different outcomes based on how you treat Ben. If you've threatened the boy and treated him like crap, he won't create ties with people on the group, therefore causing his selfish behavior of leaving Clem behind to save himself. If you're nice and you don't blame him for what happened before, he'll be Lee's (and Clementine's) friend, and I imagine he'd try to protect his friends, like he tried by stealing the group's supplies so the bandits wouldn't hurt his friend (before he knew they were lying to him about that).

Obviously it's all speculation, but I guess we'll find out soon enough.

Oh, that Ben. Maybe he should get his own spinoff sitcom.

I'm not talking about you. I'm talking about Ben. Isn't he in high school? Shouldn't he learn to help or take care others when the adults fighting off the zombies? That adds up another responsibility for Lee to save Clem and not giving any task to Ben. You never know if he will runs off alone when he saw bunch of zombies heading our way.

He should know by now that Lee and others keeps each other living.

I already learned to pick up my young siblings from school and headed home or the library.

I shouldn't compare real life to a game.

1. If you're not talking about me, why say that I'm old enough?

2.Yet you just did... , and you have been the only one. -_- regardless,facing a load of walking dead, watching your friends die/be killed, not knowing if your parents/guardians/family are alive or dead etc. is a little different to walking down the road a couple of feet. It wouldn't be as easy for him to 'latch' onto someone else as Clem has.

Pretty much this.

Telltale knows most of the people around don't like, or even hate Ben. Why show him doing something positive in the trailer. They want you to slap your forehead when he suddenly does some unexpected good. Many people would suddenly say, "I was soooo wrong about him."

[Milosuperspesh]

more a case of if you don't threaten ben he does more stupid stuff like leaving clem, cos as far as he knows their is no punishment.

but if you threaten him he knows he's in the shit.

but then again stupid naive meatheads like ben will still leave clem regardless..
