Me killing Kenny probably.
I regret repeatedly saving Sarah, I should have realized she was a lost cause. I was putting everyone in danger.
thinking nick and Sarah would have character arcs.
a serious one would be cutting off Sarita's arm.
Trying to save Larry
All things considered I believe that was the worst choice I made in the series
What I regret is, when your given a choice of which one of two characters you should save, or whether you should save a character who is in trouble, that they end up dying an episode or two later. It happened to Carly, it happened to Alvin, it happened to Nick, and it happened to Sarah.
Personally, I'm sick and tired of this theme of "throw away characters" that Telltale seems to have going, and I'd like to see it change in Season 3.
Um, Luke and Jane put the group in danger. Sarah did no harm if you saved her.
Cutting off Lee's arm. He was already a goner. It just made the quest to get Clem all that bit harder on him.
Not letting Kenny die when the opportunity existed.
Abandoning Lilly on the side of the road.
One of the toughest and hardest to swallow choice in either season.
Siding with Kenny all of the time, in my first ever gamethrough.
Also cutting off Lee's arm, cutting off Sarita's arm and leaving Lilly behind.
Leaving Lilly behind.
I think its a tough pill for many to swallow, but you're absolutely correct.
There's a difference between trying to further someone's survival skills and strengthen their core attributes to assist in making decisions in the future and trying to hush someone who is constantly and obliviously interrupting a ruthless tyrant because of a dream she had. Her qualities at that point were nil. I don't blame her for Reggie's death nor the demise of Sarita, nor anything that wasn't a direct result of her own actions. But as innocent and kind spirited as she was, that doesn't excuse her stupidity and certainly does not make her worth trying to salvage.
There's the way the world should be, and then there's the way the world is.
My regret in season one was killing the St. Johns in front of Clem, I kind of got caught up with vengeance for a moment. In season two, would be siding with Kenny throughout the game based on a false sense of comradery from season one.
I have to disagree.
Not everyone has to be a valuable asset to the group to survive, especially when a character such as Sarah was placed at a big disadvantage due to her sheltered nature as well as her disability (as Telltale confirms her to have PTSD), which were both beyond her control. Otherwise, what's the point in having a group in the first place if we were to judge everyone based solely on their worth and contribution to the group and not on their other merits? I wouldn't want to stick with a group where a single mistake, big or small, can trivialize an individual's contribution to the group and have them left behind for the walkers to feed on.
Sure Sarah made mistakes, but she wasn't an active liability to the group's safety and survival, she was merely inexperienced and had the potential to overcome her weaknesses. Other members of the group were more of a danger to the group based on their role or actions, such as Rebecca, Alvin, and Nick.
Besides, if we were to consider Sarah not worth trying to 'salvage', then was her own initiative to help Clementine disinfect her wound wrong? Was her interest in learning how to defend herself from the walkers by learning how to shoot a gun wrong? Was warning everyone of approaching walkers in the camp, should she be saved in the trailer, wrong?
i regretted letting Alvin die. but i was upset to find out he dies either way. I'm pretty sure there are some dialogue options I probably regretted, I can't really remember them off top, though.
My regret was cutting off Sarita's arm. It was a split second decision and I didn't have time to think why cutting her infected arm off was a bad idea to carry out in the middle of a walker herd.
Saving Pete. The hell was I thinking? He was bit, gonna be a goner no matter what. Still, the alternate death was very well written.
That's all
Buying season 2 for full price instead of waiting for promotion...
Saving Doug over Carley was the worst decision I have ever made. There was also some regret about leaving Lilly behind.
When Carver captures everyone and you can go outside to get help from Kenny: telling him to keep shooting which just made the situation worse and killed off 2 characters.
I kinda regret saving Alvin. Not because I hate him or something but he dies alone, only with Clem watching, and without a bullet in the head, he clearly turned into a walker.
I can see where you're coming from. I would say she could've been strengthened had Clementine and other members of the group slowly contributed and worked with her little by little. However, time was something not on anyone's plate and unfortunately her priorities don't take precedence over helping everyone else that have far less work to attain that level of survival skills.
And once her father died, she did to an extent as well.
It's true that not everyone would have a lot of time to tend to Sarah's needs especially when Rebecca was in labor at the time, but I doubt that she would have been much harder to handle than a newborn baby that requires a good few years of baby formula, protection from the weather and walkers, and would scream and cry at any given moment and risk giving the group's position away from danger. If the group was willing to help look after a newborn baby at a long term period, then there's enough spare time to help a child cope with the loss of her father.
Besides, it's not exactly fair to judge exactly how broken a person is based on the short amount of time between when the character loses a loved one and when they are killed off. Given how Sarah reacted hours after her father's death, the only behavior she exhibited was being in denial, but that's a trait many characters in the story shared and she was no different. She still had the desire to live, otherwise why get out of the trailer in the first place? Why follow the people who saved her the first time? Why shout and scream for help when she fell?
Anyway, that's just my two cents, and I appreciate you being civil.
Absolutely.
I just don't agree she was someone who could've overcome their predicament.
And, you're welcome. Cheers as well.
cutting off Sarita's arm
killing Kenny, well I didn't like the guy but once I heard the only emotional ending if you went to Weldon and went in and Kenny leaves without clem and AJ
oh and not trusting Bonnie.
I regret leaving that girl Beatrice to get eaten alive in S1 E3. It just doesn't feel right.
Leaving Sarah, I tought it was a choice between Jane and her :v
i find picking nick in this situation to be the better choice. he atlest gets some development he would not have otherwise.
Who cares anymore?
How so? It didn't tell you to save Sarah, leave Jane or leave Sarah and save Jane? >:(
True, but I guess I just felt bad. Oh, well..
Well, they were almost breaking through the door and Jane had to pull them up, so I didn't want to risk Jane dieing because of Sarah, so I just assumed that it was a choice between them :v
Plus he is tortured by Carver. I guess he's actually better off not being saved.
Well in Game of Thrones determinants have finally been treated with respect.
Nick gets the development eiether way. If you don't 'save' him, he gives you the same backstory dialouge if you talk to him after he kills Matthew.
Yep. Better let him have a quick death than being tortured, alone and reanimate.
The Larry decision. I was waiting to see if Larry died for some reason, missed the button press before the timer ran out and Kenny pushed me and I think called me a bitch.
I could have sworn there was extra dialogue about how him and luke had been friends for awhile and they were business partners if you had him at the start of episode 2. i need to go replay it and check.
Yep that one exactly. Chose Pete, wait till after Nick kills Matthew and talk to him, he'll be sitting on a bench.
