I dont see it as save one or the other.I see it as who do i save first.I fully intend to save the second one also,it just hasnt worked out that way yet.I ,the char, doesnt know i'm in a game thats gonna punish me regardless of my choice, by killing one of them.
And i fully expect the one i save,to help me save the other.So that helps me decide who gets saved first.
In the case of doug and carly,she can give the most help saving others at this point due to the gun.All that was needed was for doug to stay alive long enough for carly to get off a couple more shots,saving doug.
If on the other hand,if i saved doug,in order to save carly we now have to run over and fight hand to hand with the zombies on carly.Not a safe or fast option.
Nobody decided based on the method of death they were in danger of?
Doug looked like he would have suffered much more, what with getting pulled out by multiple fellas. Ugh, terrible. Carly looked like she was facing a grisly death as well, but at least it wouldn't have been as horrible.
Also, after the Duck/Sean thing, it seemed the decisions were strictly an either-or situation.

e: two more things, actually:
another pro-doug thing to consider is that he had saved carly's life earlier. Both results are obviously tragic, but when person 1 saves person 2, which consequence is moreso: person 2 survives for another week or so, or person 1 dies as an indirect result of saving another life? Both people benefited from that encounter this way.
speaking of which, did anyone else think lee was kind of a dick to doug? I'd been playing with a friend, and missed a little bit in the drug store. Did something happen? Cause it seems like Lee just heard he was a dork from Ms. I-can't-comprehend-the-concept-of-batteries, and started making comments about him spending all his time on the computer, and knowing useless nerd crap. It's gonna be weird when Lee inevitably asks him to fix the walkie-talkie.
it's weird, while playing, i felt really unsure about the choice, mostly because I thought Carly was dependable. Now that i'm talking about it though, i'm positive it was the right one.
best solution would be to toss carley her bag and then rush over to doug and pull him free of the zombies as carley handles hers then helps lee free doug and they all escape.
I'd be impressed if they don't kill off the survivor quickly, because that would result in a lot of extra work throughout 5 episodes
Well they don't nessecarily need to kill them off they could kill them off in the way they killed Glenn off {I.E. sending the survivor off for some reason}
Hypothetical situation:
The gang encounters two orphans who have been taking care of themselves {like i mentioned in another thread} in the end The kids decide to part ways with the gang but Carley/Doug Decides to go with them. Boom gone but not dead
While one might assume all the Carly saves are male players outnumbering female players and thinking with their dangles, I weighed my choice to save her over Doug purely on observations made. As Lee says, Doug doesn't do well around Zombies; yes, he saved Carly but it could have been heat of the moment, possibly even unintentional.
Second, if the group has to move quickly, as someone who looks like he spent a lot of time in-doors moving quickly could be a detriment to him and, in turn, the group.
Lastly, Carly is a dead-shot (which leaves me feeling she's more then what she seems, i.e. just a radio reporter...) and, in an Apocalypse, such a person is worth they're weight in gold.
I mean, do you have any idea how difficult it is to hit a small point (i.e. Head shot) on a moving target? Her Marks-woman skills mean she can take down a walker, but conserve ammo. Another point in her favor.
Yes, Doug appeared to be a Tech Specialist, but among future survivors they might very well encounter another, but you'd be surprised how rare it is to find someone who can shoot straight under duress, especially the Flesh Eating kind of duress.
I liked Doug, and considering I got a sense he was partial to Lee in a same sex oriented way ("Lee, I think you're a great guy...") I felt bad for letting him get the chomp, but, in the end, I just thought Carly would be of greater benefit to the group. Sorry Doug.
lol yea i feel that. But altogether he seems more useful than a chick who cant put batteries in properly, or know how to manage a gun efficiently.
A single girl at her age certainly knows how to put the batteries in.
She aint fooling me. She just wanted to check if i knew how to do it. You know, checking if i am a handyman.
And now that Doug is out of the picture. :cool:
Don't use them. Never been an "alt" kind of gamer. I have one character, one story. Makes the choices I make have much more weight and impact. But, to each their own.
i dont know if anyone already mentioned it, dont read my post if you have not finished the first episode yet.
at the end, clementine is upset because her walkie talkie is broken, knowing that doug is a tech guy and into those things, i was really happy for her that i picked him. I hope he can repair the walkie talkie for her in the next episodes.

Somebody has mentioned it Fonzie but thanks for mentioning it yourself so we can discuss it some more. Do you think Dough has the knowlledge to fix a broken walkie talkie?
about the game telling you about a character remembering what you have done.
shaun remembered stuff right up to his death.
as did hershal before he kicks you off the farm.
so doug not having any 'recollections' in ep 1 doesn't mean much, dougs reactions aren't much different with your dialogue options but everyone else does change depending on your choices, maybe he shines later on.
Hello everyone, new user, first post but I've been reading the forums since I got the game.
I don't know if it was mentioned before, and it's been a little while since I've played through episode 1 again so I don't remember exactly what all the characters were up to. But why do you think everyone didn't go into the office when the zombies were first attempting to break in? It is clearly the more defendable location.
Oh, and I saved Carley my first time through, Doug on the second. I did think it was funny to see that ~80% of players saved the woman with the gun though.
I liked Doug, and considering I got a sense he was partial to Lee in a same sex oriented way ("Lee, I think you're a great guy...")
I doubt it. More likely, Doug knows what Carley knows - Lee's conviction. This would be a bit disappointing though, because some of us have specifically chosen to save Doug because they thought he doesn't know about the murder thing.
Sorry, didn't read all of the posts, so I don't know if this has already been stated, but:
Am I the only one that listened to carley's story about Doug saving her? I feel that he is more of an asset being that he can handle himself against the walkers as well as having the knowledge that he has on electronics.
Carley and Doug both have their up points. For all we know they both have their low points too. I suspect that Doug is either a hacker or a voyeur or both and Carley is a criminal who stole a dead reporters identity. If i'm wrong oh well if i'm right I can claim im psychic

I think you may be onto something, doug does seem a bit dodgy, im no longer saddened by his demise.

What would be really interesting is if Doug had some sort of horrible secret, and like Dumbledores sexuality in the Harry Potter Novels we didn't really find out until one of the Devs brought it up at the end of the series. I Hope they're pulling a Scott Pilgrim {rumor} and compiling lists of secret facts about the characters so they can share them when episode 5 is complete and the first season is over.
Edit: Added a Comma because i don't want people assuming Dumbledores Sexuality was a horrible secret so much as it being a secret that doesnt really make it into the books yet the writer told people after it was over.
think i missed out on that discovery, i assume the secret was he was gay?
Yeah i mean she beat around the bush in the books by having hm be best friends with an wizard and never any talk of interests in witches. But during her press conference someone asked was their any secrets about any of the character that hadn't been revealed in the books and she said that dumbledore being gay was one. But the point being maybe we'll find out all sorts of secrets throughout the games and after episode 5 is released
Hi I am new here I saved Carley in my Playthrough.The Thing that bothers me about when Doug reprograms the remote is how does he know what brand of tv `s are in the store window.He program the remote and all six Tv`s turn on somehow I doubt that could occur.

Well, you saw it happen didnt you?
Doug is amazing, but history. Sadly..... RIP Doug.
Sinfulhowl does have a point though. Unless every TV in the window are the same brand at least, one code would not have accomplished turning them all on at once. He would have had to program, turn on, re-program, turn another on, etc..
just makes you wonder if doug is as dodgy IRL as he is in the game, my prediction, if you saved him, he will turn on you and steel your energy bars while you sleep.

My TV is a Panasonic, my Blu Ray player is a Phillips. When I push "standby" on either remote, both machines go to standby. Maybe Doug didn't have to do THAT much magic to the remote?

What do you mean with IRL? I guess you mean before and after the outbreak.
In regards of story writing, it would be easier to get rid of Doug/Carley fast. So indeed he could steel food or other important stuff and run off when things get tougher.
i mean doug is based on a (correct me if im wrong) former telltale games employee and friend of telltale games, i wonder how closely they based the character :P
I also read that he is based on a real person.
So you want to know if the real-life "Doug" is dodgy and left telltale games after he stole something and now they make fun of him in the game? If that would be true, then expect some cruel deaths for him. (But Carley died worse in my opinion, so what did the real-life Carley do?)
that or the RL doug had some form of wonder remote that could affect all technology and continuously changed the channels while other staff were trying to catch up on there soaps
I also read that he is based on a real person.

All right, now I demand an interview with the real Doug in one of the next "Playing Dead" videos. To set things right.
Nahhhh. You naturally only put your friends and contest winners in your games, not for revenge. :rolleyes:

That is funny

When all this is over we will need to re-populate the world.
Good luck doing that with Doug you bunch of homos.

I'm suprised Clementine and Lily aren't enough for you
