Does Lee's family [SPOILERS]

edited August 2012 in The Walking Dead
So throughout the game, characters ask Lee about his family. I decided that in my game, Lee's family wouldn't be nearby. Then, I get to the pharmacy and it's a family reunion.

I was wondering, does Lee's family ALWAYS end up being the owners of the pharmacy, or can that change if you answer questions differently?

    All right, it doesn't work that way. :D

    Lee's backstory is fixed and can't be "changed" in the game. His parents WERE the owners of the pharmacy drugstore whatever you do. The game only gives you the option to decide what you want to tell others about yourself, and if you want to lie to them. After all, Lee is in a tricky situation, being a convicted murderer and all. Telling everyone about his family might facilitate his own identification.

    Didn't his family own the drug store, not the pharmacy? (I just recall hearing that from a couple of lines on Hershel's farm)

    ummm.. The difference between the two are what, exactly? ;)

    Edit: Oh, I KNOW! At a pharmacy you can only get LEGAL drugs! :D

    Well, they (the player and his party) were holed up in the drug store, right? And the pharmacy was clearly locked up and separated from the area they were in, albeit both were accessible from the same office. So they had to be two different facilities. Did Lee's family own both of them?

    (Also, is a "drug store" really a pharmacy? I'm not a native speaker and I always thought it's a kind of old-fashioned grocery store.)
  • edited April 2012
    Yes, actually, they are different names for the same type of store :) I was picking on you before, my apologies. I forget we have many people on here that English is not their native tongue.

    Edit: I think the confusion may lie in how a grocery or department store will have a sectioned pharmacy. In a place like the Everitt's store, the entire place is considered a pharmacy or drug store.

    That's good to know. Over here in Germany, you have either one or the other. Grocery store OR pharmacy. They never ever mix, not even sectioned.

    There are some people who will refer to the back section of a drug store as the pharmacy (the area where you get prescriptions filled), and the whole thing as a drug store because the front area sells over the counter/non-prescription drugs.

    Most people in the south where the tale takes place, will refer to the whole store (since it is a small building), including the pharmacy back section, as one or the other.

    That is why some in game call it a drug store, and others a pharmacy, but all are referring to the whole store.

    they owned both because in the picture u could see his brother wearing doctor/blue uniform and he goes out side and kills his bro and takes keys right? so ya
  • edited April 2012
    What I am saying is there is no "both". It is considered one place not two.

    The reason for the locked door is because that is where they have the prescription only drugs.

    Edit: When people (namely Lee when about to go unlock the door) call it a pharmacy, they mean it as a section of the entire store.

    Maybe I can explain better this way. The entire building is one store owned by Lee's parents. The pharmacy is just a section inside that store. That section would not be separately owned. It is kept separate and locked because it contains drugs that you can only buy if a Doctor writes you a prescription.

    Because he was so long out of town. That he remember only that his father was like "guard dog" and use his staff on heads of some thiefs. He talk about it to Clementine than he found his staff.

    So by logic he dont expect that they put alarm system during this years.

    So it was probably Bud's idea?

    Now a days ,drugstores are usually built with a pharmacy in them,but not always.

    A pharmacy is required to have a certified Pharmacist (or tech)on duty during its operation, a drugstore may operate without a pharmacist when its pharmacy (if it has one) is closed.

    In the old days,drugs stores were also locations for their current form of fast food.The sandwich and the soda.And you could find drugstores that had over the counter drugs,and a restaurant area,but no pharmacy.

    In the US ,drugstores date back to about 1820,and pharmacies to about 1860.

    Probably the best way to differentiate between them,is a drugstore is a lesser form of a pharmacy.With the pharmacy being the next evolutionary step in the industry, that brought actual science into the "medicines" that were sold.IE drugs in a pharmacy have to have a "proven" science behind them accepted by the medical society of the time.Drugs sold in just a drugstore,not so much....

    I can see how he wouldn't have thought about it - I was kicking myself when the door opened and the alarm went off. Duh. Drugs = security. But we'd been walking freely around the entire store so it never occurred to me that a single area would be alarmed. Good lesson learned though because in the event of a zombie apocalypse I'm going for guns, cross bows, food, and Percocet - and not necessarily in that order!

    Think of the dialogue options as thoughts going through Lee's head. Just having the option avaliable to tell people the specific whereabouts of your family let's the player know that Lee the character knows, and anything else is a lie.

    axed the pharmacy door ? lee hit's it but no luck you still need the keys.

    it's designed to trigger the zombie horde to crash the place so you have to run.

    Oh, then you don't get the medicine???

    the axe is for the pad lock on the outside door when you talk to doug to get the key's from lee's bro and use the tv remote / brick

    i assume since larry seems fine after the alarm and punching lee out means lee and lilly did get some PEELZ ;)

    The area I live in is very much still in the past, and we still have an old-fashioned drug store/pharmacy/diner.

    The diner has very mild food as its patrons are mostly elderly, but their breakfasts are pretty good. :)

    To be honest I think you do see Lee's Father in some point of the game. What I mean is this.....Who was that walker in the toilet when Clem opened the door ? I think that that walker could have been his dad. Why and how would a walker be there then in the first place ? I mean if that walker wasn't his dad than who might have it been, and what was it doing there in the first place ?

    larry dragged an old couple out of the office how do you not understand the obvious implication that they where lee's parents ?

    Hi there! How are you this fine day good sir?


    On topic: I'm guessing the walker in the rest room was just a customer, or someone who was infected/bit and was trying to get into the pharmacy for pain medicine or something before Lily and co. arrived there. Probably died and turned while on the toilet :(

    lol well maybe he was the guy who bit lee's parents / brother ? and i'd say lee's bro trapped him in the toilet but the damage was done...
  • edited May 2012
    The toilet was locked from the outside (at least Clem was able to open it from the outside after Lee told her to use the key from behind the counter).
    But normally, toilets don't have good locks, therefore I doubt that somebody from Lees family trapped somebody in there.
    I believe somebody tried to enter the pharmacy by smashing the toilet window and then climbing in. Sadly, he cut himself on the broken window and turned...

    lol

    LOGIC says why would a toilet not have lock on the inside? you don't want anyone walking in on you doing your thang ? so having an outside lock would be able to bypass the inside lock to stop people breaking in via the toilets window even though it would of been a tight fit.

    also the time frame of this toilet dweller turning is something to consider if the guy was knocked out or killed by lee's family it would be easy to shove it in the toilet room, lock the door and maybe they could of blocked it off if they weren't in a hurry/ trouble them selves.



    and it's a drug store/pharmacy so i would assume to reduce the chances of theft it has a good lock on it.

    Or Clem could have picked the lock, people do amazing stuff when it comes to "emergencies"...
