Luke seemed okay in the beginning, just kind of didn't like that they forced you to like him, but as the story progressed I started to dislike him more. I never hated him, though. Just started to not really care for him, but I was still going to try to keep him alive no matter what. I made the decision to cover him, I had a feeling that trying to save him would just end up with the ice breaking. When I saw Bonnie going over to Luke and the ice breaks, at this point I thought that he was going to die either way.
I played on another file and tried to save him, and like I predicted, he dies no matter what you do. Kinda disappointing, but meh, what can you do? I actually felt bad on this option, though, because he saves Clem from the walker and then it drags him down to his death. No one from the cabin group survived... wow.
Luke and Omid could've talked about history. Art history and Civil War history. @Simply said they could both talk with Lee about it too while having drinks in the skyyyy. T.T
I can just see his panic when he, Kenny and Jane are all sleeping, and all of a sudden bang. They're all woken up to people outside freaking out and Clementine not where she was when he fell asleep. How do you think he would have felt about Bonnie and Mike's betrayal? I thought of him as someone who would take it more personally. Like wanting to leave is one thing, but leaving with them with nothing after all they did to stay together and protect the baby. Especially how after he started trusting Mike more and appreciated having Bonnie around again.
Go, go, go! I don't think it's sunk in yet that Luke is dead and won't be around for season three. At least he'll get to meet Lee. Just like how he wanted. cries
Luke would be by her side in an instant. He would have been applying pressure to her wound to stop the bleeding and yelling at her to "Hang … moreon!" His focus would 100% be on saving her.
It's funny. I'm always imagining how Luke would react in certain situations. Like back in episode 4, when Kenny is giving Clem shit over what happened to Sarita. Bonnie, Mike, Rebecca and Jane just sit/stand in the background and let Kenny yell at Clem. And I'm sitting in front of the screen thinking, "Man, if Luke was here right now he would be defending Clem so hard."
I think I might just write it. It could help me cope.
Personally, I think Bonnie would ask Luke to come with them but then Luke would be like "What about Clem and the baby?" Then Bonnie would get hesitant because she knows Clem and Kenny are close. Luke would tell her that they should probably sleep on it. And then the events would play out. I think Luke would be very hurt by their betrayal, especially on Bonnie's part.
I just saw that part where Luke says he would have liked to meet Lee. I just know that the two of them would have gotten along well.

I didn't want a Kenny vs. Luke decision either, but I was expecting it. When Luke died midway, I was shocked because I thought for sure that the season was going to end with Clem deciding between the two in some way.
I didnt particularly want a Luke v. Kenny decision. I was starting to hate the whole Luke against Kenny thing going on the forums. I do agre… moree that he deserved better but he did have a heroic death. He gave his life to save Clem. I just hope shes not carrying that on her conscience too.
LUKE WAS JUST DOING SOMETHING FOR CHARITY LIKE THE KIND SOUL HE IS, AND THEN CLEMENTINE WANTED TO JOIN IN BUT HE TOLD HER IT WAS TOO COLD AND THEN THE WALKER WANTED TO AS WELL AND YEAH.
I really wish that Luke had survived the episode, at least as a determinant character like Kenny or Jane. It would have been interesting to see what would have happened if he did survive, but I guess from a storytelling perspective it's more interesting when there isn't a voice of humanity like Luke and the group falls apart.
R.I.P man. Wish we'd had a little more time with you this season. You would have been a great big brother to Clem and AJ
It sucks that in a lot of these "End of the world" stories, the people that are kind and good and care about humanity get killed off. It's either that or they become assholes. -_-
Luke would have been the best caretaker of Clem and AJ. I went into this episode totally ready to choose him/protect him because I felt that he was the best choice. But then when it came time for that decision, it didn't really matter what I chose because he dies either way.

Yeah, I was pissed with her, not defending what she did next, only that before she abandoned us I figured it was just her venting and she'd apologise if we talk to her more
True, they both lashed out at me, but Kenny didn't then decide to steal all our supplies, our only working car and then say "just leave her" when I got shot.
So, I just watched the Playing Dead episode for the finale.
Dennis Lenart, more or less, admits that they killed off Luke with no chance to save him for the shock value. They built him up over the course of the season, building up on that expectation of "Luke and Clem riding off into the sunset" only to crush it. They did it because they knew no one would be expecting it. He compares it to the movie "Deep Blue Sea" with Samuel Jackson and references the part where the shark kills him out of nowhere.
Luke was kind of doomed from the start. -_- They got me. They got me good. Well played, Telltale. Well played.
I know, there's five possible ending paths that I know of, so sad.
The most traumatizing ending for me I think would be shooting Kenny off of Jane. He doesn't die instantly, he gives Clementine some last words before he goes and she's bawling....and he also says he's scared of dying. It's so sad. T_T
Ok really? REALLY?! If this is true I can't even... why are so many writers doing this anymore? It's so damn stupid and terrible writing. It's the jump scare of writing. It is cheap and unintelligent.
And using Deep Blue Sea as an example. Clearly a crowning achievement in the history of cinema. I'm so done. I don't know why I even bother.

Yeah, I also assumed she was just lashing out due to pain and was willing to forgive her, but then she said to "just leave her" when I got shot and I realized it was more than that. She actually thinks it's my fault Luke died and that's why she was mean to Clem. It wasn't just venting, she meant what she said. So if I ever make the [Cover Luke] choice again I'll let her drown.
On the other hand, in the version where I tried to save Luke, I forgive her for leaving

Well, great, cause I definitely love being trolled as a fan. That's what I read and play these games for. To be tricked and shocked. Not to read engaging stories and go through the adventures of characters I love with grand and satisfying conclusions. No it's to be punched in the face and then laughed at cause I wasn't expecting it.
Like I said, it's like someone startling you by jumping out of a closet and yelling 'boo' and then trying to call it scary. No, you just came up with something a two year old could. You irritated me for a brief second. My adrenaline went up, but now it's gone leaving no impact in its wake. Only the drama form of this is way more anger inducing because it involves assassinating characters that you love and they, as writers, should have more respect for other than simple shock value. And it isn't just this game, it is every form of entertainment media doing this now and calling themselves smart or edgy for it. And I am SO sick of it.

The campfire scene was one of the best written in Season 2 and permitted those character dimensions which had otherwise eluded previous episodes. I thought Luke may have had a more relevant impact on Episode 5 purely on the burgeoning relationship between he and Clementine, and the stand off between he and Kenny. That said, his death could be interpreted as the catalyst for the group disbanding altogether. I'd go out on a limb and say that Mike and Bonnie would have elected to stay had Luke been alive.

I'm sorry, I'm so fucking sorry and sad by typing this but...
R.I.P. to the great man you were...
I just can't handle reading it in the present tense, it feels like feeding the hope that he can come back but.......................he's gone, we'll never see him again...... :''(
Yeah, I was disappointed in Mike too in the version where Bonnie isn't a douche, Mike was the one trying to help in my original game so it was disappointing to see him become an asshole too but kind of nice that Bonnie cares instead. The thing is I believed covering Luke was the right thing to do, so she shouldn't be as mad. We held the walkers back and showed we trust him to follow his advice without freaking him out more by saying no to his orders

Oh that hits right in the feels. I am STILL so upset by this. I've dreamed of it the last two nights. LOL. I am seriously in mourning over a fictional character.
That quote and Carver's line "I warned you not to follow him and look where it lead you" made me seriously think that Luke was going to end up betraying Clementine. I'm so glad this never happened and Luke kept his loyalty to the group until the end.
Carver doesn't know shit! When Luke came back for the group at Howes I realized that this boy was one of the most loyal people in the world. It goes back to what he told Clem on their way to the bridge back in episode 2.
"What's the one thing a guy would walk hundreds of miles to get back? Clem, it's family."
Lee did it for Clem in Season 1. Carver did it for Rebecca's baby. And Luke did it for Clem and the group.

Fanfictions are my alcohol.
Because male strippers are hotter?
Or Kenny.
Or anyone for that matter.
LUKE WAS JUST DOING SOMETHING FOR CHARITY LIKE THE KIND SOUL HE IS, AND THEN CLEMENTINE WANTED TO JOIN IN BUT HE TOLD HER IT WAS TOO COLD AND THEN THE WALKER WANTED TO AS WELL AND YEAH.
Rest in peace, Luke. We loved you

me when nick died, literally. he's my baby.
Just when I thought I was done crying... T_T
He could've been in episode 5 for 2 seconds and then been shot in the head, and this would be complaining.

For people looking for it: http://www.ign.com/videos/2014/08/27/the-walking-dead-episode-5-spoilercast They start talking about Luke around 12:35 and the quotes @Liayso mentioned around 15:06.
Idk if Luke was necessarily doomed from the start of them planning season 2 though. Still, low blow on their part.

“Would you trust him with your life?”
"I think so"
"In times like these, would they risk themselves for you?
"Luke would."

Luke can pull a Kenny if he wants to, it's happened in real life ya know... but only rarely ;-;
That's the true ending to Season 2.
What's that about a frozen lake? Nope, didn't happen.
What's that about a fight a Rest Stop playground? Nope, that didn't happen either!
In all seriousness, I love that video.
It's pretty awesome.
Yeah. I liked that Luke wished he had met Lee. And I liked that Clem also wished that he had met Lee too.
That was a nice moment.
Luke and Kenny are my favourite characters.When I saw that Luke.. can't even write,I was crying for the rest of the day.I want Luke back
