    She's a functioning human being. From a physical point of view. But, you know, your hands won't move by themselves, it's brain that

  • I hope you mean YOU yourself are two years behind, cause if you mean the disorder your wrong on so many levels.

    I have Asperger syndrom. Technecly I am two years behind in maturity. I empathize with her as a result. I am disappointed in TTG. They should ALWAYS HOLD THE MIDDLE GROUND IN PUBLIC SETTINGS REGARDING THE GAME!

  • I just don't understand why are you arguing with me. Don't take it personally, I haven't meant to offend you or your siblings. But your sister is just one case, people are different. It's not even confirmed that Sarah is autistic, there is a lot of disorders that match her symptoms.

  • She could cut the branches. She just wasn't listening when Reggie told her the exact instructions. If you help her, she ends up understanding, she just gets afraid of messing up, which is understandable, because Carver murders people if they mess up.

    I've met people like Sarah and it's extremely offensive to assume that people with mental disabilities would be unable to cut tree branches after being slapped. That's actually really mean, so stop that. Thank you

    If down votes were here you would have at least 50. Well plus mine so 51

  • She also got the group into trouble with Carver finding the picture she took of herself, she wouldn't be quiet while Carver was speaking and therfore got bitch slapped by her father, she wouldn't keep calm which indirectly caused her father to be eaten by walkers, she wouldn't cut her damn branches which in then causes Reggie's death. Yep, Sarah sure was a helpful member of the group.

    She helped Clem the first time we met her. She was brave when shouted at Carver "Stop hurting my friend" if he slaps Clem. She warned the group about walkers coming. And overall, she was just kind pacifist girl.

  • Spiritual successor to Ben.

    Good... Why do you have that?

    Yes I mean myself.

    My sister may be one case, but I can assure you that I know the basics of what I'm talking about

  • If you help her, she does everything unbelievably slowly, though. All she should need is a repeat of instructions from Clementine

  • Well, she most likely has anxiety. She doesn't want to get it wrong. I'm pretty sure I actually have some sort of anxiety, and I can confirm that I feel like that sometimes.

  • I hated Sarah the entire time. However, I think her death was brutal and unjustly understated. No one mourned her? No one tried to talk to Clementine about it? No one was sad? Clementine didn't shed a single tear? OH it's all ok because we have this Carver-spawn! lol....Did I dislike her? Yes. But she deserved a better ending.

  • she is a doggy food for walkers.

  • So some doctor randomly did some test and said your two years behind? Okay. Also are you using Skype? It says your online but your not replying. I would use PM's but they don't work.

  • Fuck... a chat detox? WTF is that. One of those "I want my child to get best marks so I keep him away from games and internet"? Damn, see you later then.

  • I understand that Sarah died, I think it was probably because Telltale was gonna kill of everyone or mostly everyone in the episode. What pisses me off to no end is how Greg enjoyed her getting killed and all the other things he said. It was pretty clear that she had anxiety or autism and not that she was just "overprotected by Carlos". She was a good character, it was good to have her in the game so people can relate with her. I think she might just be one one of favorite characters, aside from Clem and Lee.

  • Eh, it's royally fucked they made some shitty statements and Sarah was fine even though I see no other way to handle her except Sarah or Baby choice but meh. Shit's fucked S1 is better than S2 it's fact.

  • haters? maybe you're very judgmental aren't you?

    You seem to be taking a post on a forum a bit seriously there friend.

  • Yeah. She pushed Reggie off the roof. She brought Carver into the cabin. She hurt Carver's feelings by not listening to him. She shot her dad and ate him alive.

    Hatred is irrational.

  • Well the fact you've just judged a person by a post, does matter.

    She did deserve her death. She was being a moron the whole way through. She was an annoying burden who would only make situations worse. The group is better off without her.

  • NOPE! she is a doggy food for walkers.

    Humanity. Morale. She's an able-bodied young woman, which is extremely important in near-extinction events. With support and training, she'd have grown into a competent survivor.

    Just like your post. Sarah indirectly caused these situations to happen.

    If others in our group were perfect, I would agree. But you know what? Everyone fucked up somehow. Everyone did some stupid shit. It is not about who's the most helpful, you cynic, everyone is equally important.
