Why did Clementine have to go to the door?

When you think about it, it seems like Clementine unintentionally set in motion the events which led to the group's demise. When Carver was at the cabin door in Episode 2, Clem and Sarah should've either sneaked away or hid until he left. Then Carver would move on and the group could live happily ever after...

  • knowing carver he might have kicked the door down and searched the place so he would have found out who was there anyway

  • I don't think Carver would "move on" that easily. He would've come back for them sooner or later anyways.

  • It may have turned out worse if Clementine didn't.

  • even if they hid, carver saw traces of the group being there so he could wait for them to come back.

  • I doubt Carver would've simply moved on. The door is unlocked and there was visible evidence in the house that showed the group had been there. I think Carlos's shirt was one of the things that he notices from the get-go while interacting with Clementine.

  • Um... he would have opened the door, saw dude face's jacket, known they were there and then set up whatever it was he was planning in the first place.

  • Why did the entire group ditch Clem and Sarah there anyway, including the heavily pregnant rebecca and overprotective dad? Especially as they already sent out a hunting party

  • But then why did Christa look for more wood on her own?

    Why was it Clementine to go with Luke on the bridge?

    Why was it Clementine to talk to Sarita and Walter to get more information?

    Why was it Clementine to turn off the radio?

    Why was it Clementine to look for Kenny outside the lodge?

    Why was it Clementine to be the only one to on the P.A. system?

    Why did Carlos get shot in the herd?

    Why did Sarah do an uproar?

    Why did the zombie apocalypse start in the first place?

  • But then why did Christa look for more wood on her own?

    My take on it was that she wanted to get away from Clem right then. She seemed frustrated.

    Why was it Clementine to go with Luke on the bridge?

    He figured that if he ran into anybody they'd be less likely to shoot them dead if he had a kid with him.

    Why was it Clementine to talk to Sarita and Walter to get more information?

    She had an in with Kenny. At least, that's the in game explanation. This one is pretty silly though and I didn't like it.

    Why was it Clementine to turn off the radio?

    Because the best way to get to it was through the skylight. The only way the group had to get up there was with the rope, and they established already that it frequently breaks (meaning it can't support much weight).

    Why was it Clementine to look for Kenny outside the lodge?

    I didn't like that one either. The in game is that she's the only one that could fit through the windows, but they were clearly large enough for all of them to fit through.

    Why was it Clementine to be the only one to on the P.A. system?

    Same as the radios.

    Why did Carlos get shot in the herd?

    I actually really liked that death. It reminded the player that, hey; there's automatic gunfire that's being sprayed in our general direction! I was actually gonna be kind of pissed if that didn't matter at all :)

    Why did Sarah do an uproar?

    Because she's a ninny.

    Why did the zombie apocalypse start in the first place?

    Because potato.

    The cabin group wasn't especially subtle about their hiding place you know.

    If Clem and Sarah had left and hid he would most likely still have found Carlos' shirt, the picture of Sarah and probably even more hints since no one would be there to stop him from looking around.

  • Those questions were pure sarcasm and was not expecting someone to asnwer them.

    Anyway, Potato is Jesus. Have an upvote.

  • Clementine went to lock the door. Once it was opened by Carver, she couldn't dare offend him, whether or not she had a gun.

  • Even if they hid under the house, as they probably should have done, Carver still would have found the photo.

  • He would have broke in and eventually found the two.

    Then again, he doesn't even bother to check under the bed.

    "William Carver is a smart man."

    Yeah, okay.

  • He doesn't even check half the rooms!

    Sarah could have hid under the bed in Rebecca and Alvin's room because he didn't even LOOK in there.

  • He was supposed to check more rooms, but the idea was cut off.

  • I wish he would have.

    I guess the fact that he found the picture of Sarah made him decide to leave without checking the other rooms as he now had proof that they where staying in the cabin.

  • As Carlos said, he wasn't expecting someone to be on the house, so she actually interfeared on his plans.

  • I'm really asking myself:

    Was Carver really all by himself? Or did he take some men with him that hid in the woods/was his hunting party already with him?

    Because if not, then it would have been pretty retarded to go alone to a cabin filled with people hostile towards you.

    I have a theory. Carver actually planned for the cabin group to leave the cabin one by one, so he could then take a look around. Meaning he was in the woods, watching the cabin and making sure they all left. He probably decided that Sarah wasn't a problem (he didn't know Clem was there), so he just did it then.

    And he planned to lure them away with the massacre at the river bank, which he did.

  • If you think about it was Winstons group that caused all of this

  • Because the plot demanded it.

  • The door wasn't locked in the first place. Knocking the door wouldn't be necessary.
