People who chose/like Carley apparently are shallow, uneducated, for boobs, boners...

[Phil_TWD]

I can't believe that there's people who think that those who chose her over Doug was because of those idiotic excuses, maybe for a few players that's may be true but definitely not the majority.

Carley saved lives countless times, helped out a lot, shot the walkers, spoke the truth, stood up against Lilly and when Doug was near to that brick on the pharmacy's gate, what did he do with it? Nothing, Lee had to open the gate to get it himself.

TellTale's maybe did this on purpose to make Carley the more likeable character of the two, but there's no reason to be insulting the ones who chose to save her over Doug.

*sigh* just stop this nonsense of calling people uneducated, shallow, only picked her for boobs, get laid, for boner. Just shut the fuck up about those lies or keep them to yourself.

You got to admit that Doug had hardly no screen time in ep 1, and also in 2 and 3, while Carley did. The problem isn't that people saved Carley because she's a girl, but because you don't get to know Doug before making the choice.

Don't forget that she has saved your life and also Clementine's life. I figured I owed her one, everything else aside.

Also, if I was to be heartless... Doug is seemingly a kid. And overweight. And can't fight. That isn't a good combo in the ZA.

That's because he has no screen time. And he's not fat, he's big boned

At first, I admit I was attracted because of her looks, but when I got to know her more, I was attracted of both. (Personality + Looks)

They aren't lies dude, some people think that (but we didnt) we chose her over doug cus of the reasons above.

I saved her because she's pretty, and I felt there was a true connection between her and Lee. What else is, when she confronted you and stuff, you know you can trust her. What else is, she's a great person.

But looks definitely played a role here. Not saying a big role or whatever "but everyone's different, who knows how they'll take it, you know". We can't say it played a large one or small one.

It's natural to get boners (or have that feelign of attraction) if you see a pretty person. I'm not one of those who say these things, nor am I defending them, but I'm just saying it. I think it's natural. When you're near your crush or gf or whatever, I'm sure you'll have any of those.

She's a good character. People should respect that. But we should also respect their opinion as well.(unless its full of crap/insulting)

That reminds me of this post I saw... Someone said that Telltales managed to make clear who is the intelligent, mature side of the community and who is the dumb, immature side. The smart, mature choice was apparently Doug. Which is so stupid. People who saved the more developed character, the girl with the groups only gun (at the time), the girl who saved your life multiple times in rapid succession is supposedly the stupid choice. Huh? One of my buddies saved Doug because, as I quote, "he was the least obvious choice, I'm probably going to be rewarded later in the game for having the balls to choose that choice." Following episode 3 he wished he saved Carley on his main play through because he didn't feel rewarded at all for being in the 20% but rather felt he was somewhat jipped off.

There's always going to be people who liked her simply because she was a willing girl (which is just weird considering its a video game). I, personally, like her because she's essentially the groups Andrea (comics).

Logically it makes more sense to save the Carly because she was the best shot and had the gun! Lol plus her being a lot cooler then Doug helped in the decision process as well.

[Mornai]

I too think one of the main reasons is she's more developed initially than Doug is. There's also many people who prefer gun skills to technical skills, and that she knows your past.

"You're a strange guy, Doug." "I know."

[CarleyandLeeTWD]

Everything has their pros and cons. Doug is good w/ electronics since he's an AV and Carley isn't taht good but who cares in an apocalypse, electronics wont matter but trust, cooperation, accuracy w/ gun will matter. I chose carley cus she seemed useful, loyal and always in concern, ready to help people.

Her personality is admirable. Do you agree guys?

I definitely agree.

Electronic devices in times like these are pretty useless unless they have some kind of energy/battery.

Here is what my initial thoughts were on my very first playthrough (picked Doug btw):

Carley:
+ Hot Chick
+ Good Shooter
+ a lot more screentime spent with her = more sympathy.
- dumb (batteries, duh)
- knows my murder story

Doug:
+ Bros before hoes
+ intelligent
+useful technical knowledge
+ heroic in crucial situations (known from Carleys story about him saving her)
- very little screentime
- isn't a hot chick

[Shrewsbury Survivor]

Its not saving her its the post death denial thats lasted months "Shot in cheek bullet bounces off" It was point blank she was a good charecter but as Reggie D Hunter would put it "She Dead" Stop trying to bring a charecter shot in the face back.
This isnt a you saved her its the death response thats stupid.

[Shrewsbury Survivor]

This is an example of out of context not THATS WHY you picked her I saved Carley. But stop the Kenny or Carley alive threads

I saved Carley out of gratitude and respect for her selflessness.

1. She rushes out of the drugstore's safety to save me, Clem, etc. (complete strangers).
2. She stands up to Larry and Lilly who don't want to take in strangers.
3. She opposes Larry killing Duck.
4. She saved Clem from the bathroom walker.
5. She keeps your secret. In a way, this saves your life again because it prevents your past from being used as an excuse to kick you into the streets full of walkers.
6. She volunteers to go with me to rescue Glenn.

Did Carley being a pretty woman had something to do with my choice at a subconscious level? Probably, I don't know. My first instinct was to save whoever saved me. This was the same reason I tried to save Shawn over Duck at Hershel's farm because him giving me a ride saved Clem and my life.

Like others pointed out, she had a lot more screen time, and all that screen time was mostly about her helping me. It's hard to dismiss that.

Personally, I was not impressed with Doug at all. Carley haters like to criticize her for the battery thing while ignoring the good things she did. Seriously, who here hasn't done something that's stupid and minor? They also ignore that Doug doesn't act very smart either. I mean he suggests going outside and taking a look hoping a flimsy store gate will be enough to hold back walkers. The only reason the pack of walkers didn't see you in plain sight was because TTG writers willed it so and made chilling out side the drugstore necessary to forward the story. Logically, it didn't make sense and was a pretty stupid and dangerous move. I also don't recall Doug standing up for the newcomers during Larry's tirade.

Don't use a quote and then edit my text, it is misleading to people who read your post without mine. Because in my opinion it doesn't make sense. If you disagree post it in your post but don't alter my text and then make it seem like you directly quoted me.

Plus, you could in some instances say that technical expertise can be a negative for Doug. Mostly anything his technical skills are capable of cannot be done because he doesn't have the supplies to do so(mentioned in episode 2). Carley's main skill(pistol) requires only bullets, and they are(at least initially) easily found or already stockpiled.

Edit:Also, i don't think Carley nor Doug stand up for Duck when Larry wants him out. The only thing Carley says is "Will everyone chill the fuck out!" which doesn't take sides.

I'll just leave this here.

I picked Carley on my first playthrough, and Doug on everyone of my other playthroughs. Doug said less, did less, and was overall less important to the story than Carley.
