Why His Death Sucks

    Nick.

    The fuck-up stupid idiot kid who everyone picked on for screwing up. They thought he was becoming unhinged because of Pete. He literally had Kenny's character development about two episodes ago. He was angry, scared, shot his own mother after being kind and open to an infected stranger. He ran from Carver's camp, had been with Luke since the goddamn beginning. He shot Matthew in paranoia and stress, but also out of concern and bravery. He apologizes to Walter if you tell him, and his consciousness is show on the issue. He's living with the fact he was the one who dealt such a horrible blow to a kind-hearted idealistic soul in these dark times. Hell he even risks his life to save Clementine if you went with him.

    And Episode 3 not only shoved him into the corner of his bunk doing absolutely nothing to advance the group's plans. (Oh. Mike lift me up here instead of Nick. Or, hey Nick. What do you think about this plan?).

    Then he gets shot on the shoulder, probably mixes walker blood with his blood, and then decides to leave Sarah and Luke to go find help. Did he do this knowing he'd turn? Did he go figuring he had enough time to do something right?

    Hell it would've been better to see a small portion of that Walker Group at the door feasting on him, saying he fought them off so Luke could save Sarah.

    And guess what. Sarah lives and is taken with you? She falls, dies, and everyone doesn't even look back and goes to stare at the baby. Nick? Just a brief, sorry. Sarita? You were interesting and I had hoped you would've outlived Kenny, but favoritism rules the day. Carlos? No one even batted an eye except Sarah. Alvin? Carver showed him more attention than half of his group did.

    I hope in Episode 5 we take a moment. A pause in the action, the eye of the storm. And we just take one long painful moment to look back and actually give a moment to the dead. To give a damn. Because if we don't, it's just over.

    Also final comment. As much as I love Luke and Kenny, did you really have to wait until the finale to hold onto your big punches Telltale? Offing Kenny or Luke in Episode 4 would've been the most unexpected happily received twist anyone could hope for. Now Episodes 2-5 are going to be a pissing match between the two until the inevitable death catches up to one, or both of them.

  • he was going to die anyway but I agree his death could have been handled better much better

    How do you think it could have been handled? I think either we find him in the same spot dying and actually being able to talk, or when we escape the mobile home, Nick can't make it out.

  • I think Robert Kirkman put it best; not everyone gets to go out like a hero.

    We'll find out in two weeks, I might have taken it the hardest, but who knows what BenUseful will do? And we're filling his feed with spoilers.

  • Yeah, but I can't imagine anyone coming back after an episode has been released and saying 'Welp, better check the forums.'

    Telltale:Hey you guys wanna see Nick without his hat?!

    Fandom:Yes please!

    He's actually not even credited in the credits, so I'd guess it doesn't count.

  • That's sad. His last line of the entire series is a grunt.

    A GRUNT.

    Now that I'm thinking about it, remember that thread about Clementine and Kenny having hatless models but Nick didn't have one? Now look where we are.

  • His hair is fuckin' amazing, I need that haircut right now.

  • Maybe when Nick comes back... we can go back to the cabin.. where its safe. :(

  • I actually cried twice this episode. When I killed Nick as a walker, and after Sarah died. I realized I lost my two favorite characters and I emotionally broke down.

    There, there melon (why do people call you that?) he just got lucky, real lucky.

  • Poor guy got taken out by the ol' "shirt got trapped in the fence" misfortune. It happens to the best of us.

  • I hope so.... :(((((((
    Also thanks for your content.

  • His death was fucking ridiculous.

    It still made me cry, though I have to admit that some of it were angry tears because just... Wtf, Telltale, wtf?

    I wish we were given the option to pick up Nick's hat and give it to Luke :( Allthough.. It looks like Luke cared more about keeping his dick wet than the death of his best friend. :/

    R.I.P. Nick, you will be missed :(

  • It hurts ='(. Anyway, they call me melon because of my picture, which is the character Trip from a free game called Facade. He would kick you out of his house if you said melon, so it kind of became a meme.

    Taking Nick's hat or watch would have been a nice emotional closure to me, at least.

    But... of course Telltale overlooked it.

    Maybe bury Pete's watch along with Nick's hat... kind of meaning they'd get to rest together... I dunno...

    Sorry I couldn't keep my promise uncle Pete :[
