Clementine's Regrets
When Bonnie asked me if Clementine regrets any of the decisions that she made, it got me thinking on the things that I had done up to that point.
My main goal throughout my first run through the second season was preserving some part of Clementine's innocence, while also showing that she was not afraid to stand up for herself and do what she thought was best.
This backfired on her when she stood up to Carver, as he smacked her hard across the face, but she would not show him weakness, which is why she tried to speak up when she had the walkie-talkie causing Kenny to stand up for her and almost get beaten to death.
My Clementine regrets that decision very much, she believes that she is the reason Kenny was injured and whenever she looks at him, she cannot help but feel remorse at wanting to stand up for herself, she regrets her choice and thinks that she should have stayed silent.
She also regrets stealing from Arvo, at the time, all she could think about was Rebecca needed the medication for her upcoming birth, as did Kenny, she thought about the possibility that maybe they could get sick and without medicine they might die, little did she know retribution was on the way and when the showdown with the Russians happened, all she could think about was that she was the reason it occurred.
On another minor note, my Clementine regrets telling Christa that she wished Omid was with them, in her mind, she just wanted to show Christa that she cared for Omid, but felt like she ended up hurting her even more.
So what about you? Can you think of anything minor or major that your Clementine did that you regret?
I also really want to know, do the Russians still confront your group if you did not steal from Arvo?
Comments
Yes, they do because Jane still takes his gun.
My Clementine regrets all the mercy-kills she performed, even if they were necessary. Lee, Sam the dog, Nick, Rebecca. She will always wonder if she did right by them.
I see, that explains all the hate leveled at Arvo then, I always thought what he did was justified considering I stole from him, but if he attacks either way, then he deserves all the hate that he is getting.
My Clementine regrets that she had to go through everything that happened. Simply like that.
My Clem does not regret a thing, but then again Clementine/I feel as though the best choice was made every time.
I dunno; I can't help but think that if the positions were reversed and it was Arvo and one of his companions who had ambushed Clementine alone and left here defenseless and then won a shootout with her group that she didn't really want(look at Arvo's face when the groups first meet), and then killed her last only family(it would have to be Lee in this case), then we as players might have a very similar reaction. Especially if, after that, a member of Arvo's group abused and beat on Clementine throughout the next episode and Arvo didn't manage to stop this person whether he tried or not. Later, another member of the group takes pity on Clementine and suggests leaving the abusive one as well as Arvo, who seems closest to this abusive person. Wouldn't we, players, as Clementine, while stealing the truck, shoot Arvo to avoid the abusive person from being able to prevent us from getting away? This is the reason that I don't hate Arvo, even after he shoots Clementine, because it really seems to me that a vast majority of us, as players, me included would follow a very similar, if not identical, path if the situations were reversed.
Does that make sense? Are my sentences too long? TL;DR?
Yes, the gunfight with the Russians will always occur. Also, if Clementine keeps her mouth shut about the walkie, Kenny still takes it from her and makes the confession and gets beaten. So that's two regrets Clem needn't lose any sleep over.
Clementine has no knowledge of what would happen had she not done those things, so she should lose sleep over those decisions.
Unless she gets access to the relevant information from the parallel universes created by making the alternative decisions...
Unless Clem has some ability or machine to see other dimensions then you're out of luck. Or, do you have proof Mr. rockhyrax? Proof that Clementine possesses one of these things!
My Clementine regrets watching Carver die, but is still glad she did at the same time feeling that he was worse than the walkers and deserved a fate like that.
I could say that's me - the meta-Clementine who's explored these options! But I suppose you've got a point: if I ran S3 from a savefile in which Clem had robbed Arvo she'd go in feeling guilty about it...
This thread finds the notion that Clem could see other versions of her world...
Would you not also understand Arvo's hatred of you had you shot him while stealing the truck?
I would, but the purpose of this post was to point out from his very valid point of view Arvo(in the game, not my theoretical one) was absolutely justified in the things he did. As far as actually hating, the characters can definitely hate each other with as much murderous intent as they can muster, but I as the player don't hate him.
Running away and getting Lee killed. Not keeping track of her gun and getting Omid killed.
Maybe telling Kenny to shoot Carver only to have him shoot Alvin.
That's about it.
Damnnit Sheriff you always beat me!
GOTTA GO FAST.
Right now you are my favorite person on this forum right now
Thank you, I´m very happy to hear that. You´re very fun to talk to!
stupid bonnie asked me, and i said ALOT! but it aint about kenny getting hit by carver or shooting rebecca or watching kenny kill carver. for me, my clementine is tough, she aint lee's little girl anymore, she saw alot. grown people telling me to do death missions. she aint a girl. she is a tough little girl. thats the thing i regret, i mean the thing my clementine regrets is knowing some people like bonnie/mike/arvo. those the kind of people that made her lose her innocence to me- she learned to love people and help them, not to hate and second guess their motives!. i never regret her being a tough girl that do stuff, its what life is in the ZA must be. she had to be strong and learn to live. but seeing people betrayal and selfishness what my clementine lose her innocece! knowing people like that i regret! my clementine is kind, caring and a selfless person who'll danger her own life just to make sarah not get hurt! and many more scenarios like that. she will always be the 1st person to raise their hands to help others! but people like bonnie/arvo/mike who made her lose her incconce and thats by being an awful persons that is selfish and that'll kill you for no reason just because they had to. her inoccence is way gone in this season. she learned that your kindness and care is special in a world like ZA. you cant give that to anyone! give your care to people like kenny, lee that will do the same to you. actually never once in this season that i felt that anyone would risk their life to save me (just kenny)! even though i saved everyones lives and helped them! that shows how my clementine heart is- GOLD!
dont want to read? well i regret knowin certain people. thats it. i dont regret her seeing carver being smashed by kenny. not at all. but certain people showed me that i not must be tough but selfish, and thats new to me in the game- season 3 NO SECOND CHANCES! you betray me once? you'll get killed. not sorry!
No Problem
and Thanks! It's good to know that somebody around here likes me. I hope to be on the forums for awhile so might as well make some friends along the way 
Hope you stick around! Very true.
We'll have to see these forums are pretty spooky o.o
Eh, just don´t get into arguments and you should be fine. XD
That's what I've been trying to do! I don't know though people seem to argue over a lot and I've made a lot of unpopular choices XD I'll just have to stay quiet about them I guess.
Psh, I´m one of the people who ended up with Jane! Considering Kenny´s popularity here...yeah, I don´t post much about it.
Feels
Yeah Kenny murdered Jane and my Clem murdered Kenny so I will also not post much about it. o.o
Oh, you got the double kill one! That´s rare.
I almost shot Kenny sooner but the timer ran and I got a second chance and it was twice as brutal so I enjoyed it
It was the more evil ending option I think. XD I got this:
10% Master race.
High five!
We got the same options except for the Jane one, I am going through the season again to see what it is though!
I´m very happy with my ending.
