    Why wouldn't they take ALL of the pills the first time around?? I doubt they treated it like a real prescription.

    "Alright that's 30 pills for the month, we'll come back on the 8th and pick up the prescription for next month. Thank you."

    When they get his pills the first time around in Ep. 1, they had to deal with the horde of Walkers that were attracted by the alarm. Given they were in a rush to leave, it'd make sense to me if they just got enough for his immediate needs (i.e. enough to get him on his feet and out the door) rather than have their hands full trying to cart around a bin full of pills or juggle bottles.

    It'd make sense in that case to go back later (once the horde dispersed and went elsewhere), then do a full inventory and yank everything of value.

    I figure that something like this would happen in episode 3. In the trailer, Lee and Kenny are seen running in the pharmacy, and explaining to Lilly that everything has been "picked clean".

    Well, I expect they'd return to the Drug Store in Ep. 3 even if they'd already picked it clean prior to the events of Episode 3 itself (which seems to be the case, all of the shelves are empty in the preview) if only to investigate the whole "Helicopter crashed into the building" thing.

    I think it would be cool if Doug built an aero generator, that could bring them some electricity. Or, if they go to the coast, a generator moved with water.

    I wonder how Lee's group is going to deal with the new survivors, especially after the acts of the St. Johns. Will the group be generous in letting them in?

    Probably not they'll probably be a bit paranoid maybe Lily even blames Ben for what happened to them because if he and his stupid variable hadn't come then the st. johns wouldnt have found them and larry wouldn't be dead.

    Something is definitely going on with Ben in the next few episodes. Let's see what his role is in the group.

    And another thing: Every single human being they find, migth know who Lee really is

    Yeah That's true. But if the player had the choice to let people stay or go it might make the game too "safe"

    I think instead allowing the player to decide who dies (or if you allow them to die) is a better way of managing risk in the field of being identified.

    But lets ask ourselves, how long will it matter that he killed a man? How long will they hang over his head. Eventually at some point no one will give a damn. So many people will have died and lived in hell on earth that one dead senator for a government and system that no longer exists will be of little concern.

    Shoot people are gonna wish people like Lee is all they had to worry about.

    So, because everyone wants it... here's a prediction.

    Duck's going to die in episode 3. Rolled over by the train. Kenny and Katjaa start eyeballing Clementine as a substitute kid out of their pain. When they finally find out about Lee's past, they find themselves entirely justified to limit his contact to Clem. Lee loses his calm. More pain.

    if i were in a zombie apocalypse, and i had somehow ended up with a kid to look after, i would be looking for the first place to get rid of her, so i wouldn't mind if a family took her off my hands

    raised so that he should take responsibility of things he has no experience and knowledge about (raising a child) rather than people who have experience and knowledge of it

    P.S
    im only thinking real life scenario here, of course in the game i would want to keep her because i assume she will magically save me a few times, but in real life no body would want the responsibility of caring for a child in a zombie apocalypse unless it was their own child

    Duh, that's why he killed the Senator that he caught doing his wife instead of calling the local press.

    This whole Senator murder thing is so anonymous. I wonder if in future episodes, the Senator ever gets a name... or if Lee's wife is still alive and we meet her... or if we at least get something like a newspaper article about what Lee has done. Something that makes his crime RELEVANT to the new reality of the zombie apocalypse.

    killing someone for banging your wife and looking after a child in a zombie apocalypse are two totally different things.

    for a start one of them is totally wrong and mindless, and the other is good and takes thought and responsibility

    I'm more interested in seeing Lee's past lack of control resurface. If we're not given a choice in a later episode because Lee goes totally batshit under certain circumstances, I'd really appreciate that.

    "Oh shit, I shouldn't have pressed that button, it made Lee punch Kenny again."
    "Whoops, so did that one."
    "Oh god, oh god, I just want him to stop!"
    "Lee! I don't even know who you are anymore!"

    i'm not 100% sure he is a murderer, maybe he is covering for his wife, or he was framed, he sort of said he did it to Clementine(after carly said she knows who he is), but that might just be so he didn't have to explain the complicated situation he was in, other than that i don't think he has said to anybody he did it and why

    First, if he's covering for his wife, I don't like him as much as I would as the character as I originally met - a murderer who was still a pretty decent guy.

    Second, if he hadn't already killed someone before, but then did (for the first time) in episode 2, then that scene could have handled that decision with more weight.

    well if that he didnt do it is supposed to be a surprise it wont be hinted at except that he has never talked about it, and i didnt kill the guy the fist playthrough so the option to kill or not has its own weight

    They can't do this, I'll be too happy. This game isn't supposed to make us happy! :cool:

    I would like to see a scene where Katjaa dies and returns, and Duck is forced to shoot her. Seems a bit unrealistic, but I would like seeing Duck being usefull somehow.

    I see a lot of wild jumping to very specific conclusions that people can't know. Speculate on things you have evidence of, don't act like you know the specifics. I know Lilly can't die, because a crucial fact just about everyone on this forum forgets is that Lilly is a major character in the comic.

    That is because it doesn't really need clarification. The whole murder thing does exactly one thing... it puts Lee in a hopeless situation.

    He can either live as a free man in a zombie apocalypse, or face his charges in case things would be resolved. Not a great situation to be in I guess...

    Not saying I would mind to see more about that murder case of his though. :cool:

    As far as I can tell, he could be useful as Walker bait or a distraction, that's about it. Apart from that, he does seem to be a genuinely useless liability to the group, it's why I'm hoping TTG doesn't nullify our choice again if another Shawn/Duck dilemna happens. Given that Shawn apparently needed to die anyway, I actually would've been happier if both ended up dying if you chose Shawn, since then the decision has actual consequences.

    I'd certainly be willing to change my opinion, if there was a reason to, but as it stands he's the only member of the group that's been completely useless. Everybody else, love them or hate them, has demonstrated some utility to the group. It's why he's at the absolute bottom of my priority list of who to save, he's dead weight the group shouldn't have to pull.

    Let me lay episode 3 out for you.

    Kenny and Lee are looking for food in Macon and find it's been picked clean. They find a little food and get chased off by zombies. Back at the motor inn Lilly and Kenny argue again because Kenny wants to leave in the RV now that it's fixed and Lilly wants to stay because she's much more cautious. Lee can either be in favour of going or staying, but before Kenny can set off bandits will attack.

    The bandits will attack because you took out the St. Johns, their source of food, and possibly because the food from the car was theirs or because they know you took it and thus have some food worth stealing. They'll kill Doug/Carley here in order to demonstrate how dangerous the situation is, thin the group out in advance of adding new characters, and relieve the burden of writing multiple paths, and once you chase them off Lilly (and Lee, if you were against leaving) will agree with Kenny that they have to leave the motor inn.

    You then take the RV to Woodbury in order to catch a train. You will meet at least three people there, two at the train station and a third in the train yard, consisting of a black woman in a sports coat, a nondescript white man, and an older white man. The black woman appears in the episode select screen for episode 4 but you'll probably lose at least one of the new survivors by the end of the episode.

    Lilly will leave the group here no matter what you've done. Although she is no longer supposed to be the same Lilly as in the comics ever since they decided to do a backstory novel on that Lilly, the writers of this game still originally thought she was and the fact that they're passing through Woodbury is too perfect for anything less than Lilly leaving the group. It also helps thin out the group in time for the new survivors to join it.

    The last challenge will be getting the train running before zombies overrun you. The episode will end with Lee assuming leadership of the group.

    This is based off of the preview clip, the chapter headings for episode 3, and what we know about how Lilly was written regarding the comics. There are obviously some educated guesses in here, and I could hardly cite all this thoroughly enough for an academic paper, but it's a strongly grounded prediction I expect will play out.

    Additional supporting evidence includes how Duck, Katjaa, Kenny, and Ben are visible in the RV driving during the preview meaning they all survive at least as far as leaving the motor inn, Clementine obviously is alive until at least episode 5, and Lee is the main character. Only Lilly and Carley/Doug have no scenes showing them past Lilly and Kenny's argument outside the RV - hell, the gunshot could even be the bandits opening fire and hitting Doug/Carley. The bandits definitely attack the motor inn, going on that one shot of Lee popping out of cover to shoot one of them.

    The chapter headings for episode three are as follows:
    Chapter 1 - Goodbye, She Quietly Says (picking through Macon)
    Chapter 2 - Bad Blood (Lilly and Kenny argue, bandits kill someone)
    Chapter 3 - Hit The Road (getting ready to leave? fighting the bandits?)
    Chapter 4 - Woodbury Bound (Going to Woodbury)
    Chapter 5 - Rumbling Down The Track (Finding the trains)
    Chapter 6 - Can't Save 'em All (Saving the people at the train station, one of them dies)
    Chapter 7 - Tools For The Job (Fix the train so you can leave)
    Chapter 8 - Lend Me Your Ears (Julius Caesar reference, taking leadership after a death)

    Of course it's speculation. Well-grounded, reasonably concluded, and with a decent chance at being accurate.

    I think it will be more like a group question this time, so we could decide lives of multiple people at the same time.
