The line that made me pick ***** over Wellington.

This line broke my heart. I bursted into tears during Ken's final speech, but this line specifically got to me in a way I never imagined it would. At first, I was planning on staying at Wellington and call it a journey with Kenny. However, I decided against my better judgement to give Kenny a second chance. Another opportunity to be a father, a family man, a caring person. I wanted him to prove himself wrong. I wanted him to keep Clem and AJ safe by looking out for them while they sleep, not by just leaving them in a place full of strangers. At one point, I felt like staying at Wellington would've made it seem like I gave up on him. I will never give up on the guy. Everytime it seems like he finally lost it, he bounces back with one of his heroic, extremely noble moments.

I gave him the oppportunity he deserves. He won't disappoint.

Please, refrain from fruitless Jane-Kenny arguments here. The sole purpose of this thread is to dissect Kenny's words and explain whether they affected your final decision.

  • I cried like a bitch at that speech. I decided to go with him in my first playthrough too. Decided it was best to stay with him.

  • Don't talk to me about crying.

    Hell, I even felt bad for Jane.

  • First time around, I went with Wellington. If you cried like a bitch during his speech, going to Wellington will break you, man. Second time around, I let Kenny wift me off to a land of Boats and Juice.

  • Everything you just said in this is exactly how I felt. It wasn't about being with Kenny it was about never giving up on him.

    I saw that ending, too. Jesus...

  • That was his chance. It's as good a chance as he's going to get. From that point on, no matter what happens, no matter what he goes through, or what he does, he can always look back on that moment and feel proud of himself for doing right by Clem and AJ in the end.

    Exactly.

    NOT CRITICIZING ANYONE WHO STAYED AT WELLINGTON! I just personally felt like I would he agreeing with him that he's not capable of looking out for us anymore. I wanted to prove to him he's still valuable.

  • Gavin Hammon did a pretty good job.

  • Is that guy always crying? :P

  • I dunno I don't watch whatever show it is, but every time I see some gif of him crying lol.

  • Fuck, I cried too like a bitch. What an ending that was. I decided to go with him too.

  • I've watched it 10 times and I've cried 20. Damn, this game.

  • Yeah I haven't seen whatever show it is, but there are like 5000 different gifs of him crying lol.

  • To me it was pure family love. Like I said before, there's no Kenny without a Clem and AJ. :)

  • I think it might be higher than 5000 though.

  • Either way, he did something heroic for the children. But Wellington is safer than the wilderness, and she has a better chance of waiting for Christa there than risking another month out in the wild. What if, for instance, Wellington were to still reject them at the end of next month?

  • Who said men don't cry?

    That person should play this game.

  • Gavin gives Kenny extra intensity. His voice just fits the character perfectly.

  • When I went back through to get the Wellington endings (I shot Ken in my first playthrough :'( ) I had to stay. They finally found a safe place for Clem and AJ, and Kenny needed them to stay. That was probably the only chance that Clem and AJ would have at a semi-normal life, and I'm with Kenny all the way on the thought that Clem and AJ wouldn't survive outside Wellington for much longer. Especially AJ. And seeing that Kenny was willing to give up everything he had left to make it happen, I just couldn't say no. I feel that if Clem and AJ stay, then Kenny won't ever have to feel ashamed of the things he put her through again because he got the two of them to actual safety.

    I stopped caring about Wellington after that part. I wasn't worried about being let back in or permabanned from the area.

    "What's the most important thing in this world?"

    I wanted to be with Kenny. Medicine, food, water. All those resources combined don't make a third of what Kenny means to My Clementine.

    And yeah, you're right. Either way, he did something heroic after a season of antagonistic behavior.

  • Yes. He's been cursed to watch the "Stay at Wellington" ending on loop for all eternity. What you see is his feels being destroyed from the emotional torture.

    Is that guy always crying? :P

  • Hopefully, his last days aren't so dark.

    Let's face it, Ken is determinant.

    To me it was pure family love. Like I said before, there's no Kenny without a Clem and AJ.

  • Legends say, he's still crying

  • You shot Kenny?!?!?

    ;-;

  • The second the option came up, I knew it in my heart that I couldn't bring myself to leave Kenny. After all we've been through, and all that he's done for me, it only felt right that I stick by his side. I've always stuck by his side in both Season 1 and Season 2, and this was one of those moments where I knew that my faith in him was not misplaced. Alt text

  • Yeah. Plus, I didn't want to risk that place falling apart and losing Kenny for no reason. Communities always seem to fall apart in TWD.

    Same here, I was thinking that I should give Kenny a second chance, and when she said Wellington was already over populated I was thinking Wellington isn't gonna work out, Fuck This, Kenny till the end

  • He's alive until he's dead!!! So let's just enjoy it while it lasts.

  • I pick Wellington over Kenny.

    Hell, because I know that Clem's safe there with lil' AJ.

  • Unless that was the end of Clem's story. In that case, I will forever assume they lived happily ever after.

    He's alive until he's dead!!! So let's just enjoy it while it lasts.

  • Kenny is life ending is the saddest ending.

  • That's probably why.

    Ha, don't worry about it. I'm a bitch when it comes to this game. Everything makes me cry. You're probably just tougher than me on this.

  • That's understandable. You also fulfilled Kenny's wish.

    I just didn't want to risk losing him forever for a community that could fall apart tomorrow or is full of psychos. Like I said, I almost stayed, too.

    I pick Wellington over Kenny. Hell, because I know that Clem's safe there with lil' AJ.

  • God damn, every time I see that scene I just smile and get all teary eyed.
