Doug instead of Carley
So, when the game bugged after installing episode 2 and it wouldn't detect my saves, i had to roll with random choices. Gladly all choices other than one were the same as i choose already. The only one that was wrong is that i had Doug saved instead of Carley.
Now i got to a point that i tell myself that i tried to save Carley, but couldn't get to her in time, so i had to save Doug instead.... explaining it this way.
Now my question is, why would anyone choose Doug by themselves? What is so appealing about him? For real...

If you've played episode three with him you'll see that he
Doug is great. Not to say Carley isn't either, and there are definitely reasons to have her around as well, but don't discount Doug automatically.
I'm sorry but what does VA stand for?
I guess she could have pointed it at the thing and went "Pew Pew Pew."
Haha no! Lol another death we can put down to my inattentiveness!
*cue Isaac Clarke with red "Handcannon"*
but i think doug is a wasted character that had no character development, so when he was killed all i thought was that it was a waste but no real loss
I agree that Doug was helpful when he programmed the remote and Lee could have done the pillow thing if he had borrowed Carly's gun but there is still a valid point that tips the scale in Carly's favour. The fact that she saved Lee and co before they even got into the drug store and saved Clementine or Lee when they entered depending on how we dealt with scene where Lee fell over. That was enough to pick Carly for me. I felt like I owed her. It was technically Lee's fault that she ran out of bullets since he persuaded her to let Irene shoot herself. That extra bullet would have atleast enabled her to get free and get her extra clip from her bag.
Well, that's only if you tell her to. In my game everyone refused to give her to the gun but she forced it out of our hands, and so no one was at fault for Carley situation later on.
Well I'm no gun enthusiast, but do people with weapons normally stuff their bags to the brim with extra ammunition? I don't know if Carley was a gun nut or not, but I'm assuming she had the gun simply for protection. In that case, wouldn't she only need a few clips at the most? Unless she expected to be shooting 50 zombies that day, i don't see why she should have had loads of extra ammunition.
In episode 1, Doug even points out that people tried to go get weapons from a store but they all died, so that could show that finding more ammo from the streets simply wasn't viable.
He makes security systems fixes broken things and honestly Carley is just another person with a gun...
I prefer Doug as a character but Carley is the only one who knows your secret so without her you are never prompted to tell others in the group which means a bad reaction when it eventually gets out. Other than that neither of them brings anything extra and the story plays out the same regardless (apart from dialogue)
Yes but she was out of bullets. That's why she was reaching for her bag
I saved Doug in episode 1 because he seemed so helpless. Carley had a gun and a certain level of toughness. I thought if I saved Doug she would be able to hold out long enough for me to get back to her. I was wrong but I don't regret saving Doug. He saved my ass at the St. John's farm.
I saved Carley on my first play through....she knew how to use a weapon and was damn good at it
I only chose to save Doug b/c when Carley died and I realized that there was no way I could save her, I went with Doug thinking that maybe he'd live, but no
I saved doug in my first playthrough, but after saving Carley in playthrough 2 I never did again. Carley has a more interesting character and I like tha romantic hints between her and Lee.
Still like Doug though. The reason why I like the choice is because you can feel the difference.
Doug is funny, he likes pie. He shines a light in Lee's Eye, because he was trying to signal him. I liked him. I really laughed at his shirt with the rabbit with the horns. I hope they make another doug character.
Carley is Lee's love interest until bad things happen. Each are cool in their own way.
when i was playing first time i chose Doug and still i cant tell why i did this
Carley was/is so nice and clever but Doug just got something
Carley kissed us in ep 3!
Doug helped me out by reprogramming the tv remote, Carley couldnt even figure out how to put batteries in a radio. Doug saved Carley in the first place. In a true survival situation, I am taking a Doug over a Carley any time, even if she is a babe with a gun.
He was smart enough to know radios need batteries
I think people save doug for a varity of reasons.
Some people thought Carley as a threat to knew Lees identity.
He was smart, so maybe they thought he would be more useful in the long run than Carley.
Maybe people thought he was cute.
Does it really matter why they chose him, I liked they didn't put a perfect guy in the game, i wish they would of gave him a bigger role though.
