Change a characters death, but unavoidably cause someone else to die.
Lets say that hypothetically that Telltale gives the choice after completing all the episodes to go back and change/stop a death but due to Newton's Third law; "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction" someone else must replace that person death.
What this basically means is that if you save a person, someone who is in the same area must die to replace that persons death. So lets say you save Carley, as a result at random;
- Ben could be shot
- Lily could be stopped but shoots herself in the process
- Kenny could move in the way and get shot
- Duck or Katjaa could be hit by a stray bullet.
One of those 5 must die right there and then for saving Carley but you don't know who. For Larry either Kenny or Lily must die. etc etc.
You can expand your thinking on some situations so for the Doug/Carley scene you can save both but that would mean one of the people outside the Pharmacy would die by going the wrong way etc etc.
Note: Clem, Lee and Walking Dead tv stars will have plot shields meaning that they are unaffected by your choice and can not die.
So would you like to see something like this at the end? Whose death would you change? Or would you not change it because of the possible consequences?

It's a very nice idea though!
Following through a simple "if/then" formula, it stands to reason that Lee can only have one motivation/objective in this game, so "if" Carley were to live "then" Clementine would have to die.
that being said. If you save Duck Kenny dies and your stuck raising both Clem and Duck
I'd rather have no choice than be able to play god and min/max my experience. Where's the tragedy in an exploitable outcome?
So the ending would be Charlie's Angels and his daughter
what a suprise.......
Ben grows a backbone for a half second and shoves her out of the way, only to take it in the back of the head.
What I'd like more than anything else though is a way to save Mark, but I can't think of one. Maybe following Kenny's advice of going Rambo on the place will let you get to Mark's room before the St. Johns hack his legs off? Poor Mark.
Problem solved!
So does Katjaa. I don't see suitors lined up around the block for her.
How do you know she let herself go? Maybe Kenny likes women with a little meat on their bones.
I could be cool with that.
Honestly though, this is kind of a silly thread. It is hard to say I want any of the characters to die. I like just about all of them, in spite of their faults.
That is quite an ignorant assumption. Christa, Lilly and Katjaa are women with breasts too and I still prefer Carley as a CHARACTER to them. Yes she is an attractive woman, but it is her positive character qualities I admire. You even listed several of those qualities and then decided to rule them out for no real reason. Sorry, but that does not help your case in any way.
so who likes Lilly, Katja and Christa also think so?
Think before you write something so ridiculous.
Or instead of Lilly snapping it's Kenny :O
Kenny would still have Duck, so I doubt he would in front of his son.
Carley: "You think you're some tough bitch, don't you? Like nothing can hurt you. But, you're just a scared little girl. Get the fuck over it. Take a page from Lee's book and try helping somebody for once."
*Kenny deals with the walker, Lilly takes a few steps back*
Kenny: "Now, what's the fuck the prob-"
Lilly: "Everyone, back the fuck off!!"
*Lilly has her gun drawn, pointing towards the group*
Lilly: "Now I know one of you (Carley or Ben) betrayed us! We can't let someone who endangers our group left alive! Now, Lee tell me! Who did it!!"
There you are given the option to chose who you think did it. You can either say it was Ben or Carley. Depending on your relationship with Lilly you can say it was yourself: if she likes you she'll say there was no way it was you, if she doesn't like you she'll shoot you in the chest. You'll live the shot but you'll need immediate help and nearly die. You may also try to talk her down: if she likes you you can make her stop, if she doesn't like you she wont stop.
Just kidding. I'd kill everyone to keep them both alive.
I can imagine this: You and 95% percent of players let Ben's limited brain be decorated across the RV
Poor Ben might as well punch his own ticket before getting out of the RV...
95% is too high, there'd be probably 80% with the other 20% choosing Carley to get shot to see what happens.
I don't think that's exactly logical. It's saving somebody, but causing another to die in that exact same minute/hour or something. That's like saying you'd save Lincoln and get Al Capone killed.
