    In Bonnie´s defense, everyone just saw Kenny RUNNING to reach Arvo and pulling him up when he got his leg trapped after breaking the ice, Bonnie was desperate to get Luke out of there ASAP just like most people were desperate to help Kenny when he was taking Carver´s beating and did a reckless decision that made the situation worse. The fact she was asking Clem to go for him before still was a safer measure that she got her head straight to think of, since Clem is lighter. In the end it wasn´t really no one is fault, Luke simply had bad luck in this very badly written scene with a lot of inconsistences with reality and even with itself, i mean, random walkers alive underwater, wtf? Walker pulling Luke down only with his own weight? And Bonnie managing get out of the water by herself like a dolphin when Luke drowned much earlier, considering both fell at the same time?

  • You need to realize that Clem can't just pass with everything just because she's little. Clem doesn't always do the right thing just because she's Clem, that's not how you should treat her.

    Sarita is bitten by a walker, how is this Clementines fault?

  • Yes, it is. Walking over there is literally worst thing you can do, because the ice will definitley break.

    Luke would have either gotten out himself, or the others could just have given some kind of rope to Clem and Bonnie (like Arvo's bindings), so Luke could pull himself out.

    Bonnie going over there caused Luke's death (alternatively Clem) and endangered everyone who still was one the ice, still she is a total bitch to Clem afterwards. So yeah, that time, Bonnie's fault alone.

    she blames you if you don't go over to Luke, which is the only sane thing to do. No its not, its stupid and unjustified accusation.

  • You fail to realize that the moment Sarita was bitten, she was as good as dead. Sarita's death was ONLY her own fault.

  • You fail to realize that the moment Sarita was bitten, she was as good as dead. Sarita's death was ONLY her own fault.

    Nope. But even if it was, you fail to realize that Clem´s actions caused Sarita to be killed, thus Sarita´s death was Clem´s fault.

    Besides, some characters have survived a walker bite, so no, Sarita was not as good as dead.

  • Is it doctors fault, if patient dies because of gunshot wound through all vital organs? Clementine came to situation, where Sarita was doomed to certain death, if her arm was not cut off. Doesnt matter what age Clementine is, it wasnt her fault that Sarita got bitten in the first place.

    Is it Mike's fault that Reggie died? Mike saved Reggie and gave him a second chance, which he fucked up. And if Mike didnt cut Reggie's arm off, it would be his fault that Reggie turned? This is the logic you are using on Clem/Sarita situation.

    You need to realize that Clem can't just pass with everything just because she's little. Clem doesn't always do the right thing just because she's Clem, that's not how you should treat her.

  • This whole Bonnie situation (see what I did there) is completely determinant. In my playthrough, she didn't blame me for Luke's death, nor did she tell Mike to leave me.

    In my playthrough, Bonnie is still likeable. Sucks for you guys, I guess.

  • Back to the debate.

    Bonnie is a bitch after Luke dies if you didnt walk to Luke. Blaming Clementine was unjustified but understandable, considering how emotional she was (Just like Kenny with Clem before). Bonnie however didnt have time to grief and forgive Clementine, unlike Kenny did.

    And why is that? Because his leg was cut off within seconds of the bite, just as Clementine can do to Sarita's arm, except Sarita wont stay quiet and gets herself killed.

    I don´t think so. Lee survived for a whle before he (determinantly) gets his arm cut off. And if you do cut off his arm, then his clear he only dies for blood loss. So, yes, Sarita could have survived that.

    Irony.

    “The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.”

    As far as we know, only way to save someone from walker bite, is to cut off the area where the bite was. Hershel and Reggie are examples of this. Lee's arm was cut off too late and he was bound to die from the infection so there clearly is a certain amount of time before the infection spreads from the bite area. Clementine knew about Reggie and how he survived, so she was given an option to do it to Sarita. After she cut the arm, Sarita would have survived if they managed to stop her from bleeding out. Instead, she started screaming and got more bites and died.

    If you didnt cut her arm off there, most likely it would have been too late to even try cutting the arm off, so she would have died anyway.

  • Depends, Kenny didn't blame me because I didn't chop off Sarita's arm. He was slightly pissed and blamey because I wasn't there to protect her, but it wasn't the same rage as if you did kill her. With Bonnie, I'm pissed because I DID help Luke. I'm less angry that she blames me than that she said I 'didn't do anything.' What did I do? To cover him, LIKE HE TOLD ME.

  • Lee's arm was cut off too late and he was bound to die from the infection so there clearly is a certain amount of time before the infection spreads from the bite area.

    Debatable. Lee most likely died for blood loss, not for the bite.

    Clementine knew about Reggie and how he survived, so she was given an option to do it to Sarita. After she cut the arm, Sarita would have survived if they managed to stop her from bleeding out. Instead, she started screaming and got more bites and died.

    She could have bleed out even if she did not start screaming. Carlos is dead, and there is no bandages.

    If you didnt cut her arm off there, most likely it would have been too late to even try cutting the arm off, so she would have died anyway.

    Maybe.

    Sarita was already dead - bit by the walker. Die now or die later, it makes no difference, dead is dead. She was dead the moment the walker bit her. It wasn't Clem's fault.

    The entire episode Lee constantly reminds you of the spreading infection. If he was dying from blood loss he never would have been able to climb that ladder, jump from the bell-tower, shimmy across that sign, fight through those walkers, or fight the Stranger.

  • And Kenny was friendly to Clementine after Sarita died?

    When they left that place, it was night and when Clementine saw Kenny next time, it was morning/midday. Luke died in afternoon and next night (probably 4-5 am) Bonnie was leaving and she clearly had not forgiven Clementine yet. Bonnie didnt even have enough time to grief and think clearly before leaving, so why would she be nice to a person, who she believed didnt help Luke?

    Being a child isnt an excuse like @EpicMustacheGuy said.

    ps. She had not forgiven Clem about Luke yet and being a child isnt an excuse. You have some hard times understanding this.

    And? Bonnie could have done what she did if you tried to cover Luke, said 'I am sorry, I am so sorry Clementine. I did not mean for this to happen', but she did. She left a human being to die, with disdain. A completely innocent human being. I am sorry if you have a hard time understanding this. Bonnie´s actions are worse that Kenny´s, so there is no double standard. Bonnie crossed a line, Kenny didn´t.

  • If you dont cut off Sarita's arm, and calm her down, she doesnt get extra bites, or turns, and instead walks away with Kenny.
    Later, Kenny doesnt blame Clem equaly as he would in other cases.

    . Never read the comic, can't comment on Dale.

    Dale ends up dying, but survives the amputation and for Issue 62 to Issue 66. However, he only dies because he gets bitten once again. Also, the amputation was not immediate. Did not take as long as Lee, but not immediately either.

    The odds are he didn't - he had symptoms of infection for quite some time.

    Before he gets his arm cut off. He could have passed out for blood lost, not for the bite.

    The human being part still applies, you know. It seems like you are ignoring that.

    Yes. Is not a excuse, but it tends to be more of a natural reaction that 'Just leave her'.

    Bonnie's reaction was worse than Kenny's, but the situations were completely different so you cannot compare them.

    Well, the OP compared the situations. And this is about that, exactly, the supposed 'double standard' the OP talks about. There is no double standard because, even if the situations are vaguely similar, Bonnie leaving Clem to die-after leaving her to die anyway by agreeing to leave with all the supplies- is a far worse reaction. Kenny´s reaction is far more understable that Bonnie´s reaction.

    And? First of all, it was a far better option that staying at Carver´s Camp, but I don´t see how a situation that never happens anyway proves Kenny is somehow responsible for Sarita´s death. Are you even serious?

    With what bandages, genious?

    Too late for that, he can´t be sure Reggie is telling the truth, he knows (determinatly) that Lee died anyway. There are lots of reasons that you are ignoring.

    You mean, why was he breathing heavily after tearing througth a walker horde with a knife and (determinantly) a piece of glass, figth the Stranger, strangle him with one hand and (determinantly) a shot in the gut, and losing a lot of blood? I don´t know.

    and looked sick, just like Duck on his final moments? It was the walker bite.

    He looked less sick, and more tired and pale to me.

    I did mention this on my argument.

    You said 'if they managed to stop her for bleeding out'. I said there was no way to do that.

    If the infection spreads through blood, then there isnt much time to cut the area off.

    Just how long 'not much' could be? We don´t know enougth to be sure.

    So, like I said, maybe.

    Maybe not.

    The point is that Sarita was not as good as dead-there was a chance.

    No, the whole group stole from The Stranger. And as far as they knew the car was abandoned, where Bonnie(plus Mike and Arvo) knew perfectly well that there were others in need of those supplies. That's just a ridiculous comparison.

    It's pretty damn clear that she doesn't like where the group is going, that she doesn't agree with most decisions. And that is a perfectly acceptable reason for leaving, what makes her(as well as Mike, and Arvo) a backstabbing traitor is the fact that she attempts to steal all the supplies, and the only working vehicle for miles away, from children, the person who found the supplies, and the person who got the truck running in the first place.

    Kenny stole from the Stranger and condemned them to death. And how do you know Bonnie's reason for leaving? You dont, you are just assuming. Bonnie leaves no matter her feelings towards you, so you cant assume its because Clem didnt "help" luke.
