Stick with Kenny at all costs?!

"You know, back then I was a commercial fisherman and I do own a boat" (or something like that). Wow, this was the first time in the game where I thought: The sh*t, there is actually a way out of this misery and I have to do all I can to get in Kenny's butt to save me an Clementine a ticket for this boat ride. I mean looking at all the zombie movies the safest place on earth is on the ocean full of fresh food right under your feet. Guess it will be 'tuff in the next Chapters to stick with this family and... Duck but I'll do so saving the girl and me (or at least the girl 'cause you know it's a game and you'll surely face the hardest decision at the end) from those shufflers.

What's your opinion?

    Sticking with Kenny because feels like he and his family will not let it go without some fighting. Which is probably going to be a problem if we get to the boat...

    A boat's not as perfect for a zombie outbreak as you might think. While it would make you more or less zombie-proof, there's nowhere safe you could go, so you'd likely just be stuck in the ocean.

    And while you do have an endless supply of food, you don't have an endless supply of water. Unless Kenny's got a whole desalination plant in his boat.

    But I guess having a boat in a near shore position is still the safest place facing a zombie apocalypse because you always have the possibility to swim back to the bank and search for water/food and when the lurkers are coming you just jump back into the water and let the stupid ones that jump after you drown, since they have less buoyancy and they move pretty slow (so there is a good chance that they can't swim anymore ;) ).

    a device to remove the salt from water is pretty easy to make with junk and use the sunlight instead of flame if you got a smart guy with you ;)

    A filter and kettle be ideal. These days boats aren't "rowboats" - he probably has a decent boat with a kettle and water system of some kind already :)

    Sure thats if you stay in the ocean.. there are waterways that connect from oceans to fresh water bodies of water.. the st lawrence water way to any of the great lakes for example have a system of locks that are pretty much in low population centers that would lead you to safe fishing territory as well as all the fresh water you can drink- Plus theres lots of small islands on them that are habitable with low or no populations so u could at least build shelter. a boat for me would be extremely ideal.. id say running out of fuel for the boat would be the main problem, unless its a sail boat.

    Sticking with Kenny because he has my back. Larry has already shown that he will kill Lee first chance he gets, even after Lee saved him.

    Okay, at least they'll sink to the ground and they can't swim for sure (plus many of them don't even have both arms/legs left).

    but they could climb on each other and eventually break the surface not a big issue you could just move the boat away :P

    Now, where did I leave my chainsaw again?

    Seriously, though. I love sharks. I volunteered at a zoo as a kid. I held soft, fuzzy, tarantulas and smooth, friendly boa constrictors (and even spent some time with jellies and stingrays), but hell, if I see a zombie shark swimming for me I'm not going to hold back.

    I love those animals aswell. But zombie versions are made to be killed. I would even kill a zombie seal if I have to! ;)

    i forgot which post it's in but someone asked what will kenny do if and when he finds out about lee being a murderer ?

    i'm thinking he already knows as at hershals farm he mentions to lee about he/they/we need a guy who can knock some heads together...

    yet up to that point lee had done nothing like that...

    this interests me :P

    You might be onto something. Don't forget that if you attempt to lie to Hershal he tells Lee that he needs to become a better liar. Considering that Lee apparently killed a senator before the story kicks in I'm sure it'd be a big news story.

    In fact truth be told I'm finding it hard to believe that so few people know Lee's past. Granted with everything going on it's possible if he only gives his first name that people won't put two and two together. However I would think that someone in the group would have seen a picture of him somewhere around either on TV or in a newspaper since he killed a senator.

    In any case long story short: Kenny knows. However considering the state of the world I think he's more concerned with keeping his family alive. As long as Lee stays on Kenny's good side I doubt he cares about his past.

    Kenny's boat (assuming they managed to survive going all the way through zombie-infested Florida to get to it) would be a liability, because getting fuel for it would always be a huge problem. A sailboat on the other hand would work since you'd never have to worry about the fuel issue..

    a boat is actually a pretty poor place to deal with a zombie outbreak. As another poster mentioned fresh water resources would be a problem. Also boats need regular maintenance or they will start to leak and eventually sink. This maintenance usually needs to be performed in a dry-dock. You would be better off finding somewhere with a good natural artesian well and enough of an area surrounded by walls to do some farming. Like an old style castle with a fairly large courtyard.

    Loyalty lies with Clementine, then Kenny's family.

    How it will be after episode 2. Who knows, depends how things work out. I try to play this game as close to how i would do it if i was in this situation. ;)

    Ditto. When my group (Clem and Kenny's family) met Lily's, I still considered us separate from them. I liked Glenn, Carley, and Doug, but most of them died or left. Clem and Kenny's family are the people I'd follow anywhere. Also, Lily isn't in charge of shit. Lee and Kenny take control between them whenever things heat up.

    well now that i think about it the first time clem finds the toilet dweller and lee doesn't save her i think it's carly shoots it and clem 'remembers' the next one that gets her i haven't failed to save her from yet..but i'll do that in my next play through to see how she handles it along with not answering her on the walkie so she wonders if the baby sitter got lee ;)

    OMG clem dies !

    In the second attack you must save clem if not it's game over and you hear clem chow and then lee while in shock gets his face eaten

    If you don't save Clem from the bathroom walker she still gets away fine. Carley pops the walker in the head either way, only difference being Lee froze.
