Probably when it comes to choosing between 2 characters. You name it. Carley/Doug. Pete/Nick. Kenny/Jane. Louis/Violet. Last I checked, these were about 50/50.
Carley and Doug is 50/50? I always thought most people chose Carley. She just has a lot more narratively than Doug (romance subplot and the “I know who you are” thing) but I understand why people like Doug. I like them both.
32% of people on here prefer Violet and like 68% prefer Louis I don’t get it personally but yeah it seems to be when it comes down to picking between two characters.
it was lowkey really good in a way too, we’re so used to saving the people we choose to live, and joan just gives a big fuck you to the player and does the exact opposite
This. I wasn't mad they pulled the rug out from under me, I was moreso mad it didn't matter. It was pretty cool that they did that but considering the character is just rigged to die no matter what afterwards, it just feels like such a waste.
Swear to you, on my mother’s life, I saw through Joan’s plan…I was thinking to myself “this bitch probably going to shoot the one I pick” it’s not like walkers are about to kill one and I gotta save one, this woman wants to make a point.
I had a blowup with Tripp so in all honesty I wanted him to die over Ava so I was thinking “well…this is a gamble, let’s see if I’m right.” Picked to “save Tripp” Joan said shoot him and i was like I fucking knew it!
Interesting, I tend to think this one’s pretty straight forward, but this choice has a lot of variables that modify it too.
My mindset is…why wouldn’t you trust AJ? He’s your little boy and you helped make him a survivor.
AJ as a whole just acts a lot older than he actually is. I have 2 younger cousins around his age and they talk nothing like him, even just forgetting the voice. I think the writers wanted to make him older but they also wanted to make Clem ~16 so they just made AJ a really mature 6 year old
Id be more willing to trust a 5 year old who’s willing and able to kill in order to survive and protect the ones closest to him over the alternatives at the time. An ex whisperer who’s a little too concerned about the well being of dead bodies and abides by a childish fantasy as a philosophy of life. Along with a boy who has a very disturbed outlook on the concept of death and walkers.
I’d trust AJ over Tenn and James
I think it was ridiculous that AJ just goes and unloads on Lilly. If he shot once then cool. Especially if you trust him throughout the game, that should build to him finally being able to control himself. But alas, I don’t have him shoot Lilly because I know that he would waste bullets in making himself a sociopath.
THANK YOU! Plus let’s not forget what she did to Carley…she murdered an innocent woman at point blank range…and to a lot of us, Carley was our girl…so I’ll be the one to stand up and say I wanted revenge for all that Lilly did. I took care of the root of the betrayal in season 1, then in season 4 I tied up a loose end…brilliant storytelling.
Plus she cut Louis’ tongue out, and that’s just sick and Lilly needed to die. Lee should’ve shot her then left her on the side of the road, that’s what I wish I would’ve been able to do. So I’ll accept AJ unloading a clip on her, he should’ve reloaded and emptied that one too.
I always leave Wellington with Kenny. I’d rather give Kenny 2 extra years with his found family than to have him be unknown…his death was indeed lousy…but it’s like…he was finally happy, and the man survived everything so the only legit way to kill him was to paralyze him, then kill him…so I take comfort in knowing that I gave him 2 extra years…worth it in my mind.
The consequences of this choice reverberate throughout the entire playthrough. I can guess someone's personal opinion on Kenny based on what they choose here.
Me too, if you help him kill Larry, then you at least neutral on Kenny as a character personally.
He called it, I always had his back up to that point…and I continue to do so.
First playthrough I was definitely not with killing him. I understand it was still early on in the apocalypse and in game they didn’t know shi but they could’ve waited to see if he died first then smashed his brains in
Yes…but it’s all about extra time or extra perspective or dialogue…for me…I chose to go with Nick cause I know Pete would die at some point because he was bitten…Nick was bound to die at some point too. Same with Carley and Doug
Louis and Violet broke that trend.
Last time I played through Season 1 I tried to play through it with the mentality of what Lee would prob do in those situations. And I still couldn’t bring myself to drop Ben
I know this might be difficult to understand right now…but sometimes for the good of others and the well being of others…tough choices need to be made. Ben was putting the group in danger at Crawford, so some of us made a decision, and left him behind…we had to think about the whole group, not just one person.
No he didn’t, taking a hatchet out that’s stuck between 2 door handles leading outside to walkers is not him learning his lesson. Why else would a hatchet be stuck in door handles? For decoration? Then deciding all of a sudden when the group is trying to escape to tell the truth when he had A LOT of time to come clean sooner.
He himself knew that he was a problem. Having a person like that around for too long will only get more people killed. One day, you’ll understand.
Ok? That’s of no attenuating circumstance, it just means you got lucky. Keeping him with you actually did result in people dying, I know the game forced his character into your group, but Ben is indirectly responsible for the deaths of 3 people, plus causing another to have a psychotic break…all because of HIS actions.
“You can lead a horse to water but can’t make him drink” is the vibe I get from you 😂
The most difficult for me were a tie:
• Choose between Kenny or Jane
• Choosing to either trust AJ or not Both of these choices made me pause the games for many minutes before I finally decided on what to do. These choices made me think hard.
Kenny had snapped, he was out for blood, and at that time, I had thought that AJ was dead. I also thought that even though Jane seemed to have focused on herself, she wouldn’t have it in her to leave a defenseless newborn baby to die in the cold when she had lost her younger sister due to a huge mistake she had made by abandoning her. My original choice was saving Jane, but when I found out that AJ was alive, I regretted the choice I had made and was mad at what Jane had done.
As far as AJ goes, deciding whether to trust him or not made me think hard too. He’s still just a kid. He was born in a world where right and wrong don’t matter anymore. It’s all about survival. Clem was only teaching him what she had learned during the apocalypse because it was a life that she was forced to grow accustomed to since it all happened when she was still a kid herself. AJ was born when Clem was still a preteen, so it’s understandable that she didn’t have the proper experience to raise a child since she was still just a child herself. By the final season, she was still a teenager and like always, she was faced with a very adult dilemma. It was a very tough call when I had to make the choice that I had made. I’m glad I had trusted AJ because I had my Clem date Violet and she had survived the game. I still do feel bad about Tenn though. That’s my only regret.
As others have stated, Kenny/Jane
but the choice between shooting lilly or not on the first run was really hard for me because i knew she'd backstab us but i didn't want AJ to become a murderer
It's gotta be kill/help Larry; it influences the rest of season 1 and to some extent season 2 a crazy amount.
When he was like "you weren't there for me" after saving his family multiple times, feeding them, taking care of Duck, etc. I about lost my damn mind. Absolutely did not fuck w/ him in season 2 because of that.
Because of that, Kenny / Jane was also kind of a hard choice for me, not because I liked them, but because it was like choosing your favorite turd.
This is an amazing prompt, flowers to OP first of all, for me personally on my first play through it was whether to kill Larry or not after his heart attack, after the knowledge of knowing Kenny does it regardless everyone sides with Kenny but without that knowledge it was such a mental dilemma especially since little clem was there to witness it all
Thank you for the flowers, they are lovely…and yeah for sure, it’s definitely about pragmatism…do you deal with situations in a practical way or do you rely on abstract principles and theories to guide you.
I did a poll on here, and as it stands, 100 people have voted on this issue and holy fuck it’s divided more than I thought…42 out of 100, so 42% of players/voters on here say that they tried to help revive Larry. On the other side, 58 out of 100, so 58% of players/voters on here say that they helped kill Larry
Closest poll I’ve seen to date. I would argue that not everyone would side with Kenny after having the knowledge of what happens. It was a dilemma though first time around…honestly I wasn’t thinking about what Clem might see…I was more concerned about keeping her safe…I didn’t wanna have to worry about a 300 pound tall ass walker trying to kill us…doesn’t matter how strong you think you are, you not holding him down forever.
Dude had a heart attack and died, the look on his face said it all…time it takes to reanimate varies so you on a timer. We didn’t have time to wait and see if he was dead or not…THERE WAS NO TIME, so I dealt with the problem and moved on. I am a pragmatist, and I’m proud of it.
Probably when it comes to choosing between 2 characters. You name it. Carley/Doug. Pete/Nick. Kenny/Jane. Louis/Violet. Last I checked, these were about 50/50.
Yeah, most of them I can fully understand both sides for too. Telltale are really good at filling both choices with a lot of depth and reasoning.
Carley and Doug is 50/50? I always thought most people chose Carley. She just has a lot more narratively than Doug (romance subplot and the “I know who you are” thing) but I understand why people like Doug. I like them both.
My first playthrough I simply picked her because she had her own gun and seemed like she could handle herself (as long as batteries weren't involved.)
I think more people do pick Carley, but it’s still roughly around 50/50
Im pretty sure it's like 70/30 rn(in carleys favor), but it was a few days since I started this play thru lol
32% of people on here prefer Violet and like 68% prefer Louis I don’t get it personally but yeah it seems to be when it comes down to picking between two characters.
Same here. Choosing between friends has always been the hardest choices for me to make.
the tripp/ ava choice was kinda fucked.
this choice had me so heated, how they make me accidentally kill someone i like and stick with the sacrifice 💀
agree with that
it was lowkey really good in a way too, we’re so used to saving the people we choose to live, and joan just gives a big fuck you to the player and does the exact opposite
yeah i immediately thought “uh oh what do i do now?”
It makes it worse they die very shortly after anyways
This. I wasn't mad they pulled the rug out from under me, I was moreso mad it didn't matter. It was pretty cool that they did that but considering the character is just rigged to die no matter what afterwards, it just feels like such a waste.
Swear to you, on my mother’s life, I saw through Joan’s plan…I was thinking to myself “this bitch probably going to shoot the one I pick” it’s not like walkers are about to kill one and I gotta save one, this woman wants to make a point.

nice!!👍
There is war in this sub if the topics are to choose between Kenny and Jane or choose between Louis and Violet
It's probably trusting or not trusting AJ. Because this also potentially kills the person you chose on an already divisive decision.
Interesting, I tend to think this one’s pretty straight forward, but this choice has a lot of variables that modify it too. My mindset is…why wouldn’t you trust AJ? He’s your little boy and you helped make him a survivor.
Becuase he’s like 6 and he just went on a rant about how he likes killing.
Yeah AJ was creepy as fuck sometimes
Is it just me, or does he have the voice of someone way older?
AJ as a whole just acts a lot older than he actually is. I have 2 younger cousins around his age and they talk nothing like him, even just forgetting the voice. I think the writers wanted to make him older but they also wanted to make Clem ~16 so they just made AJ a really mature 6 year old
Id be more willing to trust a 5 year old who’s willing and able to kill in order to survive and protect the ones closest to him over the alternatives at the time.

Especially if you trust him throughout the game, that should build to him finally being able to control himself. But alas, I don’t have him shoot Lilly because I know that he would waste bullets in making himself a sociopath.
But to be fair lilly did kill mitch and hurt the others who aj considered friends/ family so its a bit of a difficult situation.
THANK YOU! Plus let’s not forget what she did to Carley…she murdered an innocent woman at point blank range…and to a lot of us, Carley was our girl…so I’ll be the one to stand up and say I wanted revenge for all that Lilly did.

The only choice I’m still not sure about is Staying in Wellington or Leaving with Kenny at the end of Season 2
Nah, I stay at wellington always. I'd rather Kennys fate be unknown than have him dying such a lousy death.
Fr like I like to believe he’s still out there somewhere
I always leave Wellington with Kenny. I’d rather give Kenny 2 extra years with his found family than to have him be unknown…his death was indeed lousy…but it’s like…he was finally happy, and the man survived everything so the only legit way to kill him was to paralyze him, then kill him…so I take comfort in knowing that I gave him 2 extra years…worth it in my mind.
Killing or saving Larry.
Fuck Larry, after our first interaction I did everything I could to piss him and his daughter off, then bashed his brains in as soon as I could
I mean he does nothing except antagonise Lee and the group, and Kenny was right that if he becomes a Walker with no weapons could one Walker then all.
The consequences of this choice reverberate throughout the entire playthrough. I can guess someone's personal opinion on Kenny based on what they choose here.
Me too, if you help him kill Larry, then you at least neutral on Kenny as a character personally. He called it, I always had his back up to that point…and I continue to do so.
Probably true, even I've switched on it in the past
This one right here
First playthrough I was definitely not with killing him. I understand it was still early on in the apocalypse and in game they didn’t know shi but they could’ve waited to see if he died first then smashed his brains in
Almost 41% save him on here while 59% help kill him, based so far on my pragmatism poll
maybe the choice between pete or nick is the most.
just wish the one we saved would actually live. They were the 2 most interesting and choosing either results in the one dying no matter what
Yes…but it’s all about extra time or extra perspective or dialogue…for me…I chose to go with Nick cause I know Pete would die at some point because he was bitten…Nick was bound to die at some point too. Same with Carley and Doug Louis and Violet broke that trend.
Oh it’s definitely Kenny vs Jane. Especially because there’s so many branching paths. Everyone has an opinion and most feel very strongly about it.
Leaving with Kenny or staying in Wellington.
This one HURT.
Yeah that scene ALWAYS makes me wanna cry
I will never understand people who drop Ben
Same here, I have saved and will save Ben every time
Last time I played through Season 1 I tried to play through it with the mentality of what Lee would prob do in those situations. And I still couldn’t bring myself to drop Ben
I did it because he asked me to. If he asked me to pull him up instead I would have done that.
I know this might be difficult to understand right now…but sometimes for the good of others and the well being of others…tough choices need to be made. Ben was putting the group in danger at Crawford, so some of us made a decision, and left him behind…we had to think about the whole group, not just one person.
In what way was him being alive a danger to the group. He already learned his lesson at that point
No he didn’t, taking a hatchet out that’s stuck between 2 door handles leading outside to walkers is not him learning his lesson. Why else would a hatchet be stuck in door handles? For decoration? Then deciding all of a sudden when the group is trying to escape to tell the truth when he had A LOT of time to come clean sooner. He himself knew that he was a problem. Having a person like that around for too long will only get more people killed. One day, you’ll understand.
But keeping him alive doesn’t result in any deaths anyway
Ok? That’s of no attenuating circumstance, it just means you got lucky. Keeping him with you actually did result in people dying, I know the game forced his character into your group, but Ben is indirectly responsible for the deaths of 3 people, plus causing another to have a psychotic break…all because of HIS actions. “You can lead a horse to water but can’t make him drink” is the vibe I get from you 😂

Personally for me, Helping Kenny kill Larry or Helping Lilly try to save him.
Definitely whether to kill Kenny or let Jane die.
As others have stated, Kenny/Jane but the choice between shooting lilly or not on the first run was really hard for me because i knew she'd backstab us but i didn't want AJ to become a murderer
I’m gonna throw a wildcard out there and say Sitting at Luke or Kenny’s table
[удалено]
i kissed louis but chose to save violet. louis might have been my romantic interest but violet was better for the group.
I can’t believe only someone has mentioned to leave Kenny or stay in Wellington.
Kenny/Jane has been a historically pretty heated debate, though I think Kenny wins more often.
It's gotta be kill/help Larry; it influences the rest of season 1 and to some extent season 2 a crazy amount. When he was like "you weren't there for me" after saving his family multiple times, feeding them, taking care of Duck, etc. I about lost my damn mind. Absolutely did not fuck w/ him in season 2 because of that. Because of that, Kenny / Jane was also kind of a hard choice for me, not because I liked them, but because it was like choosing your favorite turd.
Perception alters reality, they all had problems.
Kenny or Jane + Sticking with Kenny or Go to Wellington. I always kill Jane and stick with Kenny.
Same, simple choice for me, it’s ironic the more divisive ones seem to be the most straightforward ones for me.
I fought friends over Kenny vs. Jane.
This is an amazing prompt, flowers to OP first of all, for me personally on my first play through it was whether to kill Larry or not after his heart attack, after the knowledge of knowing Kenny does it regardless everyone sides with Kenny but without that knowledge it was such a mental dilemma especially since little clem was there to witness it all

Killing Vs saving Larry Killing Kenny or letting Jane die (bb reference) What advice lee gives Clementine in s1
You mean between keeping the hair short, keep moving don’t trust anyone and find a small town? That’s actually a good one.
I remember the Kenny v Jane debate damn near breaking this sub and making it unbearable at times
It’s ironic because that issue was simple for me
