  • True that. The children are the future!

    That is so cool! I would like to see that in the episode. Even if I'll risk myself, I'll protect the baby. This is what matters for me now. New life. New generation. I have to keep it safe.

  • Bump.

    Just added a third scene that occurs if the timer runs out.

    Maybe so but they would have to aim their bullets in a downward/diagonal fashion as Rebecca is sitting and everyone else is standing. If she's shot (again) I would guess that the bullet would pass through her horizontally as everyone is keeping their guns at arm level. I suppose someone could point the gun down to shoot at people's legs but that wouldn't be very smart as the more vital organs & arteries are in the top half of the body. The only reason I see them pointing their guns down would be because of the kickback and having no choice in the matter. Otherwise, baby should be safe, I'm guessing.

    Correction: Somebody could possibly try to aim at Clem's torso, which I think would be diagonal enough; however, I don't think anyone would worry about killing a little girl when they're outnumbered with adults.

    True, but an AK round can easily pass through a body an exit out the other side. Bullets are nasty like that.

    Love this image. Though I wonder if there are any characters that have glasses on them? I say this because we could totally edit in Bigby's cigarette into her mouth as it is the same art style. Can't remember seeing any characters with glasses, except for Cindy but I don't think her fashionista shades would fit in this scene very well. Can anybody think of anyone else? :)

  • It will probably be quick unless at the end of the scene TTG purposefully left out a third party and/or walkers coming into the picture. If that were the case then I think people might end up scattering and the battle would take a bit longer. Maybe.

    i agree the shootout will probably be quick

  • Probably true, but on the other hand, Carver got shot through the shoulder by a .308 and still had absolutely no problem using his arm. I don't think they're shooting for realism (no pun intended).

    Would be an amazing way to start the episode but I doubt that an 11-year-old girl could survive a bullet, I think maybe she could get knocked down from one of the russian guys hitting her with their gun or something??....

  • We need you to write the season 3

  • If I were to guess on who'd take the bullet I would say Bonnie as she has a lot to make up for with the group; and Clem can even say that to her as a dialogue option in Episode 4.

    A totally better scenario would be that the bullet would hit the raccoon and everyone stops because they see "dinner" and then they feast together like the pilgrims and native americans. :P

    Ok. So maybe the person who takes the bullet is the one with whom you side with the most? And maybe once Clem gets knocked out, the group argues over whether to kill Arvo or let him live?

  • The only reason I can think of that they would shoot a baby would be to stop the crying which would attract the walkers; however, that would be a move made in vain as the sound of gunshots will do the trick of getting their attention. Thus, baby should probably be safe.

    Nice idea, I hope it'll happen! Anyway, I would choose to fight not because I don't like the baby but because I think his life is not in

  • I would like Kenny being mortally wounded.
    YES PLEASE

  • How come it's only Kenny being mortally wounded? How about this: if you fight, Kenny protects the baby and gets mortally wounded. If you go to protect the baby, Luke gets shot. If the timer runs out Bonnie's the one that helps Clementine and gets shot.

  • I said somewhere that Kenny could be replaced with Luke. Kenny just sorta made sense. Because it seems like he might be near the end of his rope. That said, changing the character who gets shot based on the players choice would probably create too many diverging stories. It's cool, but just not practical from a developer standpoint.

  • Mike has one (?) Mike will remember that. When Kenny and him are arguing about who should take the radio if you say 'Mike should take it'. A (?) Mike will remember that pops up.

    I heard that Mike doesn't have (?) Mike will remember that. messages. He may not be long for this world.

  • I would, but I'm afraid of what's going to happen when I inevitably disappoint you guys. :D

  • I would fight, it makes sense logically (to me) because it doesn't make sense for them to waste ammo on the baby or kidnap it. A baby is harmless opposed to a able fighter like Mike, Bonnie, or Luke (Kenny is kinda losing it!). Also if they kidnapped the baby it would just be another mouth to feed, plus a baby needs it's mothers milk and when it cries it is likely to attract walkers. So unless they plan on using the baby as a bargaining point it wouldn't make sense to take it.

  • Well, the way I put it, it's only 3 different injuries. Plus with all these "you decisions need to matter, no matter what you do the plot stays the same" people, maybe it would be a good thing to have different people be injured. Otherwise I love the scenario that you came up with.

  • Um... Why is tattoo guy aiming at Kenny's crotch?

  • The punches just keep comin' for poor Kenny. His family, his eye, his girlfriend and now...this? When will it end? :O

  • Any harm to the baby would probably be unintentional side effect of bullets flying everywhere.

    Hmm....

  • It's a baby, it doesn't do anything, another one can be made easily if they wanted, and it's probably going to die anyway.

    "baby's life is less important" you are a cold hearted person.

    I'd easily protect the baby. That little brat is gonna owe me big time when he grows up.

    Lol wow, honestly shocked at all the baby bashing. The others can handle fighting just fine, I'm protecting Rebecca's son. And this is coming from someone who's not fond of babies in the slightest. XD

  • I'd fight. I can't bring myself to care about the baby and I don't understand why other people do because, well...it's a baby. It doesn't do anything, it just uses up resources, time, and energy, it makes random loud noises, it doesn't think or feel, and yeah, it might be cute and amusing, but it just doesn't make sense to care. It's going to die in any scenario anyway, it can't withstand the zombie virus because it's immune system is weak, it's extremely cold, and there is only one thing it can eat...baby milk. Where are they going to find random formula? I find it very difficult to view the baby as a person when it doesn't even have a personality and won't have one until it's at least 5. It's more of a thing than something to care about to me.

  • Here, here! Babies are smelly, hideous creatures. XD

  • Uhm, It's really mean spirited but... The baby doesn't really matter at all in this scenario. I'd choose to fight. It would surely die without its mother and the needed supplies to keep it alive too.

  • You're right, that is very mean spirited, Fisto. They can always scavenge formula.

  • Oh they already magically pulled the baby formula out of the raccoon's ass (I'm guessing). Bonnie mentions that they baby formula in ep 4. Love the realism. Who the hell has been carrying around baby formula all this time? You'd think that they'd also try to drink it to get some form of caloric intake so they wouldn't starve/freeze to death from their bodies shutting down.
