[SPOILERS] CARLEY [Ep 3 discussion]
Hey i am really annoyed about carley being shot when it happend i didnt even want to carry on playing anyway maybe they could bring carly back she could have just been grazed by the bullet.No one even checked to she if she was dead the group could meet up with her again.I wont be buying anymore episodes unless carly comes back my friends also said the same.
Please say in the comments that you want carly back and make a thread about this and then maybe telltale games will see that we want carly back.

It's a zombie game. People die.
Guess not..
After seeing Carley and Lee's conversation in the motel, it just broke my heart even further.
perfect but then when the camera turns to lee after walker carly shock it turns out he is actually clem.
I agree. I tried several ways to save Carley but failed and its hard to see her go like that on the side of a road and it kills the replay value of a great but heart-wrenching game.
However, there is nothing stopping Carley back in a dream or something because Lee is starting to have some wild dreams (zombie Clem). I hope it happens, I just want to say good-bye to her.
Edit: Kirkby18 beaten me to the dream idea.
It's Ben.
What justifies her death was the fact that she was killed in a quick and painless way.
Since she is meant to die no matter how the outcome turned out to be, I think TTG made an effort to put it in the most painless way possible. Although I highly disagree with their choices.
Killed her, and just leave the scene. To prevent us from tearing up any further.
At least, now we can shift our focus back to Clementine, who I have a feeling, will be surviving till the very end. Think of taking care of Clementine as Carley's last words if she and Lee ever had a thing going on.
On a side note I wish i had just saved Doug, then i wouldn't have been to upset about this...
Apparently I saw it coming. I'm really pissed about it too. Like I said, I hoped something between Carley and Lee would develop.
It really sucked bad that she died but I pressed on with the choices I made. I didn't know that she couldn't be saved at that point, but it really made the game that much more personal because I really liked her as a character too. TTG set me up beautifully because in the scene outside the train, I made a decision in the dialog and the toast popped up that said "Carley will remember what you said". Yea, she'll remember for all of 10 seconds before her eye eats a bullet. A damn shame but unexpected and believable for an off kilter crazy power crazed chick with a pistol to do what she did right after Carley called her out on being a scared little girl =\
I did go back and replay the section after I reached the end of the chapter to try to save her, but apparently, she's meant to be dead. The only consolation is that I couldn't have done anything differently to keep her around. . .
I was actually pretty surprised they kept Doug alive in Episode 2 but I predicted they will fall in Ep2 or Ep3 so I was right. They have to to reduce the workload for the episodes basically.
So glad i was able to leave Lilly on the side of the road like that, clearly she wasn't leadership material and lost her head. Still wish there was some way to save Carly, or even Duck(annoying as that little brat was...).
From a technical stand point... I mean I'm sure just about everybody saw it coming because it would be more difficult story wise to keep them alive. Only thing that irks me is that the save Doug/Carly event was about the only thing that players have actually had control over that really impacted the story (pretty much every other choice either adds/subtracts to invisible statistics that get pulled during conversations or the choices actually turn out to be... well, not choices as is the case here).
So chalk one death up to a massive cop out and everybody's pretty much playing the same story now. It's kind of pointless to give a choice and then just erase all the answers later.
I think TTG is going too far with this whole dark storyline thing. They're trying to make the game depressing and hard core to the max but I think this is trying too hard. There's not a single positive thing in the game anymore. That might do it for some but this just screams "We're trying to be edgy!" I dislike it, Death for characters was something you can't avoid no matter what you do as well which is just the final straw.
Minor character or not she was a favourite of mine and one of the few characters I enjoyed having around. Unlike one particular character in Ep.2 whom was only introduced to be killed in the same episode. Knew that one going in but damn that sucked for sure. I get it's a zombie game and it's meant to be bleak but you gotta be able to enjoy the game a bit too. I enjoyed and got immersed with the Carley and Lee relationship that was blossoming. Then I got brought down to reality by the fact that I'm playing a zombie game and the obvious thing to do was kill one of them.
The people saying we're basically all playing the same storyline now make good points, too.
What about Clem?
I agree that happiness is hard to come by in the game anymore. There's not much to look forward to anymore beyond protecting Clem, for me.
I think Clem is a given by this point. But I don't like the Clem and Lee relationship because I got sick of having to restart the damn thing each time. So we get these two new people that join the group and I have to listen to the same old "I HOPE YOU CAN TAKE CARE OF HER" crap again from the woman.
It's like god, you just met me and you're making assumptions and things. If we're alive I'm doing something right. I dunno I guess all these people constantly judging Lee having Clem got old fast.
So b/c of this it's not a positive thing?
Also, I'm not sure what you mean by "having to restart the damn thing each time." Are you talking about restarting the conversation on taking care of Clem?
ep3 lee talks to carley on the first floor of the motel and about the 'torch'
they where subtle about it not 'lasting'
i dunno but in ep3 and ep4 i felt my lee's efforts on clem are being wasted, she was pulling away from lee towards the end like when she asks 'can i tell them?' i wasn't sure what she mean't by that till later on when the walkie started working, but earlier clem was talking to it i thought aww bless she's doing her thang, but now it's oh shit she's actually really talking..
I liked Carley but she's gone. We're going to lose people. I was shocked by her death and then losing Kat and Duck not much later but its something thats going to happen. You just got to move on. The only person I can bear to lose is Clem.
About it being too dark, I dont mind that at all. Its a really dark world these characters live in. The comic and the tv show are much the same. They did put little touches of humor in the episode to lighten things up. I laughed at the faces Clementine made when Lee was cutting her hair.
So cool there actually was romance and then that, don't know what to say... its cool to care about the characters, its kind of a compliment, but her death depresses me nah
