Why'd you kill said person?
Wouldn't chill out. Threatens Clementine (who saved my ass when I gave myself up to save Francine, Conrad's little lover when Badger wanted to kill me), then he pulls shit on Gabe. And when he pulled that gun right up to Clementine in that broken down subway train that gave me serious deja vu of Larry punching Lee in the face just as Lee was escaping the zombie invasion. Got very bad vibes and that same situation came back to me so I didn't hesitate and pulled the trigger.

I do wish there was an option to reason with him. I didn't want to kill him. That being said, I wasn't going to sell out Clementine.
He was no longer to be trusted
I didn't kill him. I didn't want to betray Clementine but I wasn't going to kill him if there was another way.
I normally restrain myself when it comes to kill or live situations in this series, but this is the first time where I just pressed the shoot button without thought or regret.
Surprising really as I was playing it with my sister watching, we'd usually pause and discuss the choices but that time I just reacted.
I didn't like his stupid face. Also, he insulted me earlier, was clearly unhinged, opened fire in a tunnel full of walkers while the rest of us were trying to deal with the ones around us, and pointed a gun at two kids. I mean seriously, he opened fire DOWN a tunnel at a group of walkers. He wanted to shoot something.
I bursted out laughing after looking at your profile pic and thinking of the capitulation line and then saw you used that as your username
The New Frontier will probably kill him immediately
Regardless of intent there are consequences for rash actions...
Did your sister get pissed?
Usually, I try to never kill anyone if there is an option to keep them alive.
But then he held Gabe at gunpoint, and he was done for. I don't care for Gabe, but Javi does, which means I'm going to protect him at all costs. What if Conrad and Javi had another disagreement? Would he threaten to kill Gabe again unless Javi does things his way? I didn't want him near what was left of Javi's family anymore.
I feel super bad for Tripp, though. I love the big guy, and he took Conrad's death pretty badly.
I killed Conrad b/c he was increasingly behaving erratically and then when Conrad takes Gabe hostage in order to blackmail Javi, I decided that was it--if I let him live he's going to end up killing Gabe accidently or something. So, from my perspective, I shot Conrad in order to protect Gabe, not just to defend Clementine.
Shut up, doc!
Yeah, Tripp's reaction gets me every time. He just seems so angry and upset, but also confused. He handled himself well up until that point, but I think the loss of Prescott him harder than he let on. I think he just couldn't fathom how everything went wrong so quickly.
Something YOU seem to be misreading as CAPITULATION.
Tripp's reaction was intense, but yeah exactly! It definitely makes sense.
I was surprised by the percentage of people who did shoot him, but at the same time I wasn't? I didn't want to take him out, but I knew we wouldn't be able to reason with him at all. He'd just lost Francine, he drew all of those walkers to us in the subway by opening rapid fire, and to top it off he was so amped up about his NF/Clem idea he had Gabe at gun point, etc. Though we haven't known the characters that long, him taking Gabe and of course the idea of betraying Clem was enough for me.
Wouldn't it be something if Clem for some reason betrayed us? Haha.
No.
"I dunno what the fuck you're saying, but I know it's bullshit!”
The reason why I killed Conrad was because at first he pulled a gun on Clementine (if you do that, you're already a dead man), then he grabbed Gabe and held him at gunpoint. He treatens 2 kids, so you're done for now. I have no regret killing him, would do it again anytime if somebody pulled a gun on them again.
What's interesting is seeing how people react to either decision in this case.
I find that a lot of people who shoot Conrad do so and get it done, and they usually move on from it fairly quickly or pass it by with something like "Yeah, sucks he had to die, but it was deserved. Oh well."
Whereas people who sold Clementine out seemed to show a lot more regret over the fact that they did so while still maintaining that they couldn't just kill Conrad, while simultaneously still being angry at Conrad for his aggressive behaviour to Clementine on the way to Richmond.
You'd think the decision to kill would cause people to be more remorseful than the decision to use someone as a hostage. Not in this case, apparently. Here's to making a decision without guilt or regret.
Because the person taken hostage means more to most people than Conrad did. While no one wants to kill pointlessly, if the choice is given, most will decide for killing a person they care less about than taking a person hostage they care more about, let alone let Conrad take Javi's nephew hostage at gun point.
Especially when said person has helped out Javi more times than Conrad, and Conrad was pissed at Javi no matter how you decided, whether to go down or open fire. In both cases, he blames Javier. Clem saves your ass in one of the two situations. And not just there.
So I guess that's the reason why most people get over Conrad faster than over taking Clementine as a bargaining chip (me included).
He is a dead weight. He pointed his gun at Javier's nephew for no reason. He is gonna die anyway.
"Jesus... I can't handle this."
I think he'll be Bonnie'd.
Vanish forever.
He was an asshole and a heavily emotionally unstable danger to the group. Fuq Conrad.
He broke after the death of Francine. I didn't want him to die, but he gave the player no other choice. We know he's going to die now anyway since he's determinant, so whatever (lol).
SEASE TO FUNCCHUN!
I have to say, if he Conrad did this without holding "the kids" at gunpoint I propeply wouldn't kill him. I thought Conrad was a great character and he does have the right to know that Clementine is / was New Frontier. I wouldn't sell out Clementine though, but if I had the option I would let Clementine run off and have Conrad with me. Still, I'm a Clementine fanboy (#teamClem), so because of my history in season 1 and 2, I'm playing as if I've known Clementine a long while. If I was going blind into season 3 then I think I'm not that positive over Clementine and would have sold her out.
UNBELIEVABLE!
Wow, lots of unscrupulous killers in this thread.
At the moment, I was afraid for Gabi, I thought that Conrad was gonna continue taking Gabi as hostage and given the bad blood between them, maybe shoot him in the arm by accident.
I didn't really hesitate, and after I felt bad for...well for not feeling bad. I played my Javi as having trust issues and not wanting to take gamble with the lives of his family, but I think even he is shocked that he is officially a murderer now (I didnt kill the truck guy and gave myself in).
I would do the same again but I don't feel particularly like it was the better thing to do, if Kate or Gabi did a stupid thing like that due to loss I would forgive them every time, so him being broken is not necessarily an excuse.
I killed him because he was determinant.
Also, Clementine is a 13 year old girl.
Who knows what TNF would do to her. Hurt her, torture her, kill her.
Hell, they could of even of raped her!
He really wasn't a danger to anybody except Clementine, Gabe, and Javier.
Telltale fucked up bad.
They should've let the player agree to the plan before Conrad even holds Gabriel at gunpoint and most people would have done so.
They sure did...and not for the first time
And still why would Tripp put some people he had just met above Prescott? I mean, besides Conrad and the lady doctor didn't he have other friends there?
To side with Clem, no other reason required. After the decision you can think about all the reasons to justify it (which there are plenty) but then again its not like Conrad was a developed character that you had any emotions towards thus you don't really feel anything after shooting him anyway.
I didn't kill him, but I thought of doing so because he is kinda emotionally unstable and has a gun. I would've liked to knock him out if given the option,but oh well...The choices this season don't seem to matter that much anyway, so I guess Clementine will forgive us.
He put a gun to Gabe's head after Javier just lost his niece. You're threatening a kid, offering up another kid. Conrad was a POS. It's not even about betraying Clementine at that point, for me.
I kinda regret shooting Conrad. True, not shooting him would result in betraying Clementine and having her reveal her secret to everyone else, but I feel like it doesn't make sense to shoot him considering how Javi just met Clementine, we can learn a little bit more about Clem's past with the New Frontier, Conrad has a lot more potential as a character, and just killing him would make that whole conflict and his character utterly pointless. From somebody else's moral standpoint and love for Clementine, I can kind of understand why they would shoot, but I don't think it makes that much sense in terms of the story.
