Choices youve regretted or rewound for

[PeopleSandwich]

Excellent thread!

I made a commitment to myself I would never rewind at any point and that I would keep my original save file for all episodes. Obviously I've played through dozens of times to explore the other options etc.

However I have broken my own rule, but really only where I felt the game tricked me a bit and I would have had more freedom in real life;

* I obviously picked the wrong dialog option in Episode 2 when Clem was getting ready to eat Mark. I was determined to stop her and got there in plenty of time, so I rewound.

* I replayed the section where Lee mysteriously falls over and blacks out as Clem is being attacked in Episode 1 in the drugstore. The game told me Clem would remember I didn't protect her, but I genuinely thought the blurry vision was some kind of cutscene, I couldn't see Clem or anything else for that matter, didn't realise I had to move the cursor thing around and keep hitting the button.

* When I originally replayed Episode 3 I asked every group member if they would have left Lilly as I wanted to explore all dialog options. I realised this made Lee look like he wasn't sure he made the right call, which is ridiculous, I'd have shot her if I could.

* Similar to the point above, after Ben told me he made the deal with the bandits in Episode 3 I threatened him, but later I talked to him as there were dialog options and I didn't want to miss out on any useful information. After I finished the episode I decided to replay from just after his confession and completely blank him for the rest of the episode. That way by the time episode 4 started, my last conversation with Ben would have been threatening to kill him. I felt that was more in line with my reasction, rather than walking over to him 5 minutes later with a big smile saying "hey Ben"...


The only time I've ever been close to changing a major decision was dropping Ben. I dropped him first time around, but the decision was based on a number of factors, buying time to escape, anger, revenge, removing a complete liability from the group etc etc. After I realised that it did not buy any time and Lee was quite capable of pulling Ben up even without his help, it struck me as a bad bad choice.... and Clem's reaction topped it off. In the end I stuck with it though, it's a major choice and would feel like cheating to take it back.

So....who saved Clem? This was when the walker came after her from the restroom right?

I think you're holding the walker's head up and Carley shoots him. If you don't fail to attack it during the blurred vision scene, of course.

Right. Because I clicked on Clem in the blurred scene. But PeopleSandwich did not. So what happened...just curious is all.

In episode 4
you have an option to say fuck off to Kenny when he says he won't help you. It's so satisfying when he says that. Lee says : "Seriously? You won't help an innocent little girl JUST because I didn't have your back in little situations? FUCK YOU KENNY!" Feels so good to stick it right to him.

I only rewound once, when in my canon playthrough I chose to steal from the car. That moment made me feel sad, and I chose to mournfully steal the supplies. But when the scene played out, Lee treated the incident like a fucking christmas gift shopping, that clashed so jarringly with how I felt and I thought my Lee would react I had no choice but to rewind and choose not to steal, because that´s what made the most sense for my canon Lee to do.

Id like to bring up to those non-rewinders who say they did rewind only because it was partly that they werent sure if they could actually save Ben or that they felt they might endanger themselves by wasting time pulling him up
I think thats supposed be part of the decision, if your willing to risk your life for Ben, not knowing that your guaranteed to save him if you try

Carly shoots the walker

I regret three things mainly which are being neutral between Larry and Kenny in Episode 1 (Kenny won't let me live this down), was unable to stop Clementine from eating human meat (still can't do it as much as I try, I kind of panic trying to get downstairs) and also siding with Kenny in the meatlocker (although I don't regret it so much in Episode 3 as for me, it makes more sense that way as it led to Lily going crazy, killing Carley, me kicking her out on the road and then her ending up in Woodbury because of Lee's actions).

Edit: I wasn't able to save Clementine from the zombie in the toilet at the Drug Store, but I don't regret it because Carley killed the zombie and that was one of the reasons my Lee trusted Carley.

minor regrets:

Not finding the animal crackers at the train. I like killing walkers so I missed that opportunity.

Not using the "..." option more. I've used it a lot lately and it seems to be the best choice most of the time.

Major regrets:
Not siding with Lilly and supporting her more often.

i never rewind i sometimes copy my save and rewind on the copy save keeping my original save intact and then chose diferently to see what hapens but after i see what hapens i delete the fake safe and only keep the original safe
