Am I the only one surprised with...

[Danno123]

Seriously, I didn't think many people would chop their arm off . I thought they would of thought that the infection had already spread, and that it would be too late. Also, it would be better to kill the Campman and bust zombie ass with two hands

[DreadMagus]

My initial feeling was to keep it... but then I saw what my choices were... and "Fuck it, cut it off!" just drew me in. lol

[Omegabegin]

I knew Lee was screwed, but I was kinda roleplaying it and none of the characters would've been able to know that, so I had it lopped off. From their point of view chopping it off was probably the best chance they had of keeping Lee from turning.

Well, shame on me. I should have known that choices do not matter in this game but I assumed TTG weren't THAT lazy...

[Viser]

Too much time had passed already, and if I were in Lee's situation I would be too scared to let them cut it XD

But I think most people chose to cut it off just so Lee maybe, just maybe, could have a chance of surviving the bite.

[ZacTB]

Yeah in that situation I would have wanted to have the possibility of cutting off the infected part, hoping that it wouldn't spread. At the very least it would buy time anyway.

[DarcKage]

I already knew that it only works if you cut it off literally seconds after you get bitten, but I did it for realism sake.

They're not like Rick's group in the near future, they know absolutely nothing of what works and what doesnt.

[JByrne]

I kept it, because I was worried that loosing it would be too much of a hindrance to finding Clementine. I pictured scenarios in which I needed do two things at once, and it might cost someone else their life.

It was incredibly tempting, and I almost went through with it, but backed out at the last second. I basically felt like I didn't want to put anyone else at risk for a slim chance.

[SaveCarley]

In the end it wasn't really pointless: you suffer for it, you have to survive for a while (jumping, climping) with only one arm, you faint a couple times less and you still die

Oh boo-hoo.

Just because most of us, apparently, enjoyed it - don't try and bring us down because you didn't.

I had the same thoughts. I figured it probably would not work but if there was a chance (in Lee's mind) then it had to be taken.

THAT lazy on what exactly?

[Canneberge]

"Anyway, t'was my least favorite arm."
This.

[Danno123]

I cut it off in one play-through, and oh god.... t'was horrible D:
And when going up that ladder, dayum.
Poor Lee :c

Thought the same as you. Clementine has to be saved and for this 2 arms probably come in "handy" (). Plus it made no sense to me, if it is a virus, then it is in the blood already a long time ago. But maybe I will play again just to see how he handles (:P) all that stuff with just one arm. Really must be terrible for him. But this time I would stop the game at the credits :P

On another note...

Not cutting your arm off means you have no chance to live.
Cutting your arm off offers a least a slim chance of survival.

That's my reasoning.

[rachellouise85]

Yeah same as mine, being Lee in the moment, not doing anything means you will definitely die. Cutting the infected part off could possibly save you ,or at least delay the inevitable, so you have a little extra time. I don't think I would have done it if Lee would have had to do it himself though.

That was was my thinking as well.

I was conflicted at first because Lee passed out, so I figured the infection had already spread. However, when the option became available and no one said "What if it is too late?" I thought there might be a chance and went for it.

I kind of wish they had made it an option at the end of Chapter 4 right after you get bit, that would have kept me more invested in the story for Chapter 5, I think.

I agree. And I'm also with DreadMagus when I had my choice.

I cried a ton!
But it is EXACTLY because the great roleplaying of Melissa Hutchison. She was awesome.
I gasp firstly when she shot the kidnapper, and then- you know in the end I let myself with tears.
A little short as said IMO, but there were some really badass cinematic camera angles -especially between many of zombies part.
Good work TellTale, it's done how it should have done!
