Have to give credit to Telltale for this. It's a brilliantly cruel position to put the player in.
I chose to shoot Kenny. SHOOTING KENNY IS A BETTER CHOICE FOR KENNY. Kenny just lost it, I mean look at how evil he is. Plus letting Jane die is NOT what Lee would've wanted. Shooting Kenny stops him from murdering an innocent person.
The problem with this was that Jane knew Kenny would be sooo furious and there's a 100% probability that he's going to kill her, but still she continued and didn't tell the truth that the baby is alive even when the knife sunk in her chest.
Stranger 2.0 comes out of nowhere...
If you shot Kenny: You shot your closest friend to save some girl you only knew for a few days...
If you let Kenny kill Jane: You watched that physcopath murder a woman who was just trying to help you..
Clem: Just shut the fuck up...
That's the brilliant writing from TT in this scene. There isn't really a right answer to this scenario.
Actually, you knew that. Jane didn't.
Is there ever a right answer to any of the tough decisions? The only decision in Tell Tale Games' Games that probably has a right answer is accepting TJ's gift in TWAUS1.
Some I think could be, but you are right. Most of them are pretty grim. This one was just tougher.
I think you have no clue what a psychopath is so be quiet..
As if Kenny would've believed her, he had enough of her and her "bullshit" that he didn't care about anything but killing her at that moment. Kenny just said that to make Clementine forgive him.
Yes I do, a psychopath is a person suffering from a chronic mental disorder with an abnormal or violent social behaviour. i.e. an unstable and aggressive person.
I shot Kenny. Whole season I've been trying to act like if he was alright and was always on his side. By the end of the game, I stopped lying to myself and put him down. But I didn't stay with Jane though. That whore started the fight.
Oh really? Jane was warning Clem constantly right from the start of Episode 5 until the , "You're gonna see what he really is" dialogue. and She didn't know.
@matahman.. Over sensitive much??
First off, nice reference to some very decent ethics literature
Secondly, I shot Kenny. My reasoning isn't in any way based in morality or ethics (though after considering it afterwards I believe it to also be the morally best defensible action to take). I did it because I've been trying to get Kenny killed since he popped back up in season 2.
My problem with the scenario is it's believability. My Clem never liked Kenny - how could she? He was the crazy guy who kept fighting with Lee and didn't lift a finger for her. Yet the game kept pretending that they liked each other - I did my best to maintain a cold attitude towards Kenny.
It is simply not believable that Clementine wouldn't at some point have said: "Listen Kenny. I do not feel safe around you. I do not wish to continue patching up your outbursts and doing my best at keeping this group together after your continued attempts at breaking it apart. I'm sorry that your lodge group got killed, I am sorry that Sarita was killed. Hell I'm even sorry that it has left you in this state - but I simply cannot go on with you."
When Team Bike and Arvo were leaving, I would've loved a chance to say; "I get it! Please just let me go and wake up Jane, and then we can all leave Kenny behind together!" (The status of AJ would be debatable - I think he could conceivably be left with Kenny, but I would prefer to take him with us. Leaving him with Kenny would make it less likely that we had an unstoppable "real lucky" psycho chasing us, but taking him with us would've actually made it possible for us to feed him with the formula at Howe's.
Given that this was my approach to the game and to Kenny - it can hardly be surprising that when I found a chance to kill Kenny, I took it.
To Texas we go! Yee-hah
The 3rd paragraph is spot-on.
I would have shot Kenny, but I just couldn't. Jane's plan was terrible. She was trying to prove a point by hiding AJ and telling Kenny he was gone. I thought if I would see Kenny's ending he'd redeem himself, and for me he did. Honestly, I'm glad I chose not to shoot him.
