If those characters are ever reintroduced they are likely to die. Some characters are written out and their fates are unknown. But if they are within the vicinity of the main character it is inevitable.

The point remains that no character is permanent.

I hated the way Kenny died, it was just bad writing.

And also how he got owned by a bunch of old cancer survivors.

how are you certain he died

If you liked the epilogue, that's fine please give me a counter argument to my "It outright says my choices change the story, why didn't it?" but please do yourself a massive favor and don't try and twist our concerns for this series as just being that Lee died, there has been enough people saying "We don't care about that!" to show that it's not that people are niffed out.
Your only wasting your own time, if you have a counter argument to those concerns let us know.

Does anyone know if TTG has posted anything about the ending, lack of choices and the Epilogue?

There was enough variation in the interactions I had with other characters that I was satisfied in the "tailored" experience I had. Then again, I never expected a 25 dollar episodic release to have a massively branching plot. I also assumed there couldn't be much variation in the ending (outside of all the small things) once the second season was announced.

Go and play Mass Effect trilogy, then come back and talk about bad endings. This was great!

Wow, I wonder how he's gonna go.

What a dumb reason to be disappointed in episode 5. It was the end of Lee's arc, we all saw it coming. It was a fitting end considering it's the Walking Dead. I don't even think you're disappointed, you're just upset and sad.

I'm extremely happy with this ending, even if it made me extremely sad.

I agree. Walking Dead upset me with its sadness, Mass Effect 3 upset me with a lot of things. Doesn't matter now though, but this game had an amazing (though extremely sad) ending.

^This so much.

Telltalle,
I was obviously addicted to this great game, but was very let down by the end of episode 5. Lee better survive, I can't imagine playing as Clem in season 2. Plus the main gripe I have is i chose to have Lee's arm hacked off this is SUPPOST to SAVE HIM! In the TV show hershel greene gets his leg hacked off to stop him from turning. Please dont let lee go out this way. I thought if u removed area u were bit in you could survive, and dont give me he died from infection or someother answer.

PLZ dont let lee die. The least you all could do is have lee meet some random mad scientist, who make's some awesom robatic WALKER killer arm and let's lee keep on walking! lee deserves this much damn it!

THANKS

I agree with everything u just wrote

[AnnaSan]

All it says in the end was "Kenny was lost in the herd of walkers" not actually confirmed that he died. Hopefully he makes a come back in Season 2, but it's very unlikely

lol, let Lee R.I.P

I agree with what most people are saying. They should have a true ending where, if you pick all the right choices, you survive. The whole game Lee can handle everything they dish out at him and at the last second of the 4th season they give him a death sentence. Stop trying to justify Lee's death with, OH IT WAS A GOOD ENDING. No it wasn't. It was a terrible ending for Lee. Think about that moment when Clementine is crying and you're sitting there trying to explain and help her through your last moments. Plus if you play the game where you're a dick to her or something, the ending wouldn't match up. I would gladly pay money for an extra dlc of sorts where they threw in some alt endings. One where Clementine wants to stay with the one guy on the radio perhaps, another where Lee obviously survives like he should, and maybe another where you find Vernon and them and get away on the boat or something. Idk, I've gone all night without sleep to finish this game. The ending made me cry like a bitch, then I watched the last episode with PewDiePie that I wanted to wait to watch, until after I had beaten the game and I cried even harder.

For me I wouldn't mind if lee died in every single possible alternative ending. Cause that ending was pretty epic.

The thing I have a problem with is that the game marketed itself as not being linear and your choices mattered, but in reality, your choices didn't matter, same people left and died no matter what options you picked.

A game like this must have alternative endings otherwise what's the point of giving us options? Just make your own little Walking Dead series spin off web episodes if you want to just tell your own version of the story and give the players no meaningful choices.

The best example of this is when Lilly kills Carly/Doug. You're given like 12 dialogue options in a row with like 4 choices each. When there should've been just 1 dialogue option and 1 choice. "Who cares, you're going to kill him/her anyway."

This ^^^

It's cracking me up that people are using their subjective opinions of how this game ends to label it as a disappointing game. Everyone's learned so much about entitlement from the Mass Effect 3 situation!

Sorry people don't like the ending, but that's how Lee's story ends. Should I give David Chase a call so he can re-shoot the final episode of the Sopranos?

The fact you compare it about feeling 'entitled' during the ME3 fiasco renders your opinion moot.

It's like a child sitting at the adults table.
