The Duck conspiracy (spoiler)
I warn you, major spoiler ahead.
I for one, want Duck dead. And I know a lot of you want that too.
But unfortunately... if you look in the episode images in the game (when loading a save) "episode 3: long road ahead" You will see duck in the train.
so I'm sorry.. but Duck is gonna bother us for 2 or more episodes

It would be interesting if they made the currently sympathetic characters less so in the future, and redeemed some of the unsympathetic ones.... I doubt they will somehow
I think they do. And I assume that Duck will be killed also (or that this will be a possibility). Honestly, you hear his first words in episode 1 and cannot but think that this one has a short life span.
I'd agree but games are a whole different beast with the ESRB to deal with. The comics don't have the ratings boards like that to deal with. That's why I honestly don't think you'll see a kid killed off in the games. Even though I'd off Duck just for running over Shawn's leg.
Might explain why there are only two kids as of right now and one is mandatory to live for story reasons.
Would explain why Duck just wouldn't die during the tractor scene.
And about as brite as a shadow.
The comics however... whoo.... two kids decapitated by a crazy prison inmate, a woman holding hands with her son and Carl when her son gets munched on, then her arm chopped off by Rick to save carl.... rape and torture scenes. Definitely adults only game material. But a kid getting eaten or shot? Not a big problem ESRB-wise as far as I see it.
MW3 a girl gets blown up, Bioshock you could harvest little sisters, killing them. And any online game you play these days is inundated with little 8-12yr old bastards using their high pitched voices to scream in your ear, and I've killed PLENTY of them in game ;op
Face it, Duck needs to die! lol jk I don't really mind him, but I am gonna play through multiple times to see everything.
Oh and Skyrim/Fallout there's mods to make noone invincible. Skyrim kids are all evil
From my understanding, it's more about the portrayal of the violence, rather than the violence itself. Sure, in bioshock you can harvest the little sisters, but they don't show an over the top gory evisceration cutscene. It's just how you go about showing it that matters, I think.
duck's is the opposite of clem.
so where as clem hopefully will become lee's salvation, duck has to be the dead weight that you gotta keep an eye on and which is right from the start causing a divide in the group, so i say keep your friends close and your enemies closer.. oh larry your days are numbered pal first chance i get your walker chow :P
Exactly. So Duck could very well be killed but it would have to be when we're not around. Hence why bother killing him off at all? So sadly I see us stuck with Duck till the end. Prove me wrong Harrison. Prove me wrong.
I think TTG would have the balls to kill off the kids.. They seem to be trying really hard to be faithful to the books and the books have not pulled any punches.. The show has not either for that matter.
/lol.
after playing it through again i have to say my previous comments about killing duck were mistaken, and this, this is just... not enough dagnabit! the boy will be made an example of!
how do the thick/dumb/annoying kids die in movies and other games ?
i don't recall seeing many die anywhere close to justified or appropriately lol
usually it's hinted at or the kid suddenly disapears while screaming..
Although, my dad was a special education teacher and my mother worked with a woman who was mentally handicapped when I was little (and she still keeps in touch with her), so I grew up around people with varying mental disabilities. I guess that really helps to make you not turned off by their (not intentional) unusual behavior.
Truthfully though, I do not hate Duck. It is more humor than anything when speaking of offing The Duckster. Though.... he is damned annoying... *evil chuckle*
To be fair, it never crossed my mind that he may have mental issues, i know stupid people, people who lack common sense, but id never out and out say that they had mental issues, and i think most of the hate comes from the fact hes pretty useless and has already caused one persons death.
...by offering himself up as zombie chow while you escape.
