Default Change ONE thing in Episode 3. SPOILERS

I'm new, so i dont know how to make a poll. If someone wants to, that would be neat!


Heres mine.


Option to save Carley. She was the most important person in the game to me, other than Clem. How she went out was just flat out insulting...

I dont usually post on forums, but man. I had to talk to someone...

Agreed, +1. People are gonna disagree but jesus christ. I don't enjoy how this game played out. As i've said before it's so forced it's just uncool. It even gives off an aura of laziness from the writers.

I had Doug, so it didn't really matter to me. The only thing I would have changed would have been to give us the option of killing Lilly.

At first, i was like, Telltale has balls for letting us choose our main partner/friend.

But now...i'm like ugh....so they just killed them off to streamline the plot

I liked him, but I wasn't attached to his character. There wasn't much of an emotional connection with him.

I agree. I wasn't that saddened over Doug's death. He wasn't a very popular character.

I agree, Carley knew how to use a gun; where as Ben, well, he was just naive and scared. I think fear will get him killed in the later episodes. Carley was also trustworthy, she knew Lee's story and kept it a secret from the group.

To be honest, I cared more about Carley than Ben, and if I had the option to save one of them in the RV argument, I would have saved her over Ben. Now though, I quite frankly don't care what happens to Ben anymore. I only want to try and keep Clem safe, and try to keep Kenny from snapping and doing something stupid, regarding what happened to his family in episode three. I say this because Kenny was a fisherman and knows how to work a boat; and it's the groups "best bet" for survival, but we'll have to wait and see if they actually do manage to find a boat in episode four.

Hey, a lot of us are busted up about Carley. I'm so effing upset about it I can barely think. Carley saved Lee's life how many times? Three times? Four? She was also the one member of the group that Lee could count on, despite his past. She genuinely cared and had a clear moral compass.

This game has evolved into a crazy good bit of story telling to make me care so much about fictional characters, but damn.....and then Katjaa and Duck....extremely $hitty day. I knew Lilly was wound pretty tight, but killing the living like that....

Damn. Carley not only survives the raid, but actually kills two of the bandits holding everyone hostage. She saved everyone, along with Lilly and Lee, but then Lilly takes her out just like that? Damn. Then Duck and Kat...God, there is really no hope for these people, is there?

Exactly.

The writing's really been going downhill since chapter 2. This whole chapter felt like someone decided to take Kirkman's memo and just go for broke.

"You want sad? Ok, let's kill off 4 of the 8 members in quick succession in the first 30 minutes! Yeah! How can we make that sadder... I know, have Carley show an interest in Lee right before taking a bullet to the face! Yeah! All aboard the sad train, baby! Cue violins!"

This thing was so forced it became stupid. And to make matters worse, we're immediately pushed a whole new set of group members to replace the old ones. Cause, you know, it's hard to have group survival drama when there is no group. So if ultimately our group of 8 becomes a group of 7, then why couldn't we have been given the option of saving some of the old members instead..? You know, in an emotionally engaging and interactive way that goes beyond watching a made-for-pc miniseries? Because then it wouldn't be SAD!

Well, good job writers. While you once had me anxious to see what my final survivor lineup would look like, you've now made it painfully clear that the only remaining question is whether Lee and/or Clem dies. Everything else is obviously out of our hands. Can't wait to "decide" the fate of these new characters... what are their names again?

Ah, who cares.

I see the writing as different than alot here.

Complaints about the writing because a character You liked got killed. It's not the writing that's at fault, it's Your feeling that are devistated at the death of someone you liked. That's the whole point!

I've read some comments where people had to pause the game, take a few mins to recover from what happened. It's the emotional tear of it all.

You said, "my fav character, the history they have, the bond forming, then suddenly, BAM!! it's gone in a blink!

To me, brilliant writing!

Well said. It was a moment when many people realized how one second f*ck up can't be ever undone. So much history with this character and in one second, it is all gone with no chance of taking it back, since bullet in a head is really hard thing to undo. That was very cold moment right there, which struck lot of people very hard.

yeah i feel the same way, beyond the fact that Carley was my favorite member, she was my only choice that made a big difference in the game. i felt like they did it just to make the story easyer to write with less variables and when they brought in the new characters all i could think of was Carley/doug were killed off without a chance of me being able to save her just to add in some new charaacters who i cant get rid of no matter how hard i try.
