Spoilers\ What was your decision on the two brothers?
I killed them both.
When I finished the game it said only 12% of players killed them..
Were you guys asleep?? They killed and fed you a member of your own group and held the rest of you in a torture chamber and you let them live?!?!?!
I guess I am going to have to rock the impending apocalypse solo then.. weak.

Also it's more ruthless to leave andy to the Walkers
The reason was because Clementine saw the first one. The other guy was as good as dead anyway.
Found it quite funny when you see the zombie mother going down the lawn towards the 2nd guy.
Basically I am willing to give people one chance to prove their intentions. The family on the farm made their choice to cut mark up into pieces, and attempt to kill and eat lee, clementine, larry, and all the other survivors in your group eventually. I would say that more than justifies taking them out.
In some ways the children NEED to learn what the world is like and the proper way to handle things. It is a parents duty to teach their children to survive. If this means taking hard choices and teaching hard lessons, then so be it. The best you can do is try to explain the reasons behind your actions so the children understand why difficult choices need to be made. I explained to clementine that they were bad men and it had to be done. I would say that even a child could understand that after witnessing their other crimes.
I threw Andy into an electric fence.. look at Rick and Carl. It is a dog eat dog world. People are more dangerous than walkers.
Oh yeah.. Also sided with Kenny on the Larry situation.
This was WAY more emotional than I thought this game would deliver. I literally almost cried...
I love you telltale. The wait was a little to long but loved the episode.
Anyone else kill Larry and the 2 brothers?
I also only killed the first brother, I left the second for the zombies.
Yeah, I agree this was more emotional than the first episode, it left me with a sour taste in my mouth when I discovered they were harvesting humans.
I had the same conversation with Clem after killing only Denny. I did leave Andy to make his own choice about his fate. Denny, I killed in a fit of rage and vengeance. Andy? With everyone watching... I dunno-- I just wanted to get everyone away from the farm and out of the chaos. Without the added peril of the missing characters and without coming off of the decision to save or kill Larry, killing Andy felt too premeditated for me.
I thought that the characters were all battered and broken by that point, and enough damage had been done. I felt more compelled to walk away.
I actually do not regret killing Denny, I regret only that Clementine saw it. I felt like I'd been punched in the stomach.
If they would have died to zombies, it's two less zombies to worry about.
If they would have survived I don't really need people like that seeking bloody vengance. Or preying on anyone else for that matter.
Would have done a double tap on the mother as well if the game would have let me.
Because if you kill him your doing what he wants.
Its better to leave him sufferinger. Thats basically what it comes down to.
Let the zombies eat him alive, see how he likes being eaten.
hahahaha
Same.. I killed them both.. and even crazy chick with the crossbow.. The first moment I had the option to shoot, I did, because she was obviously crazy, armed and threatened to shoot me.
but if you stoped to talk to her you would of seen she was trying to tell you that the family was cannibals
leetatorship!!!!
Whats that a quote from. I fogot.
I killed Andy as well, which felt less necessary but I was worried he would remain a danger in the future if I didn't deal with him then and there.
It sucked doing it infront of Clem, but if she has any chance of growing up in such a world, she can't be nieve about things. Like someone else said, I'm trying to teach her how to survive when Lee is gone.
True, but in the moment, I wasnt going to risk her shooting me or any bandits arriving.. I eliminated the immediate threat and I found out eventually that the family were cannibles. Shoot her or not, the same senerio would have played out and at the end, when watching the video, she was obviously crazy, wanting to take Clem as her daughter. Harsh, maybe, but I'm satisfied was right in the end!
Andy:We got to pick one to keep and use the others for meat
Danny: Can I pick which one?
Andy: Not the girl not enough meat on her.
Since the picking is who to keep......
I did, killed both and Larry, I didn't even give Larry Food at the beginning since I am still pissed at him for knocking me out in ep1.
I think this game going to be awesome can't wait for more
Left the other brother alive as well. The guy was already beaten and was no longer an immediate threat. You've got the entire group watching you and you're a convicted murderer. If the truth about Lee's past ever comes out (and it will), it'd likely set the group at ease knowing from experience you're not a coldblooded murderer, so I think its the smart play in the long run, too.
I basically feel like all of my actions revolve around the concept of "what's best for Clementine?" She represents the good that's left in the world and why it's worth saving. I'm not about to subject her to more horror through my actions.
Why would you even leave to chance that they could escape the zombies (which requires hindsight, btw, so should not have been relevant in your decision-making at the time) and continue after you've left (or even try to hunt you down)? They certainly have shown no remorse whatsoever -- Danny, in fact, has an entire philosophy / justification for it. He's zealous about it.
Also, leaving them to be eaten is just sadistic -- I suppose there's some poetic justice in it, but I am reminded of a quote: I think killing them is closest to justice that the characters in the Walking Dead world can achieve -- there are no prisons or courts anymore. Albeit, the pitchfork and the fence would not have been what I would have picked, but I guess you have to allow some leeway for dramatic effect.
And child or no, there's really no reason to shelter Clementine. I don't understand what one would hoping to protect -- Lee's image as a father-figure? I think one would be doing her a disservice (and possibly a danger) to keep her ignorant rather than try to educate her about the world as-it-is. Lee and / or the other survivors will likely not be around forever.
I assume you mean if Lee spares Danny? The quote was in reference to preferring others suffer vs. a quick death, but to address the point in your context:
There is no law enforement, no courts, no government. Survivors will have to band together in order to rebuild society.
If there was a better choice to serve justice, I'm all ears.
I understand the conventional belief is mercy = right, but that belief requires a functional civilization. Mercy in this case is letting confirmed killer(s) loose upon the world.
By sparing them, you are risking they commit further crimes. It may not be the place of men to judge other men or to take their lives into our hands (or their free will) and, indeed -- that is a problem that we face on a daily basis, but it is a problem that must be faced in order to have society as we know it.
They say Lady Justice is blind, but I'm partial to the interpretation that she is peeking--because true objectivity is not in the grasp of mere mortals.
There is no law enforcement to stop these men (and mother). Would you loose them upon the world were there not a zombie apocalypse or would you turn them over to the authorities? What happens when there are no authorities, no society from which to achieve a consensus or judgement?
Do we trust in a higher power to make it right?
We can argue that life and death is not in the pervue of men, but God or karma or some other force -- but I am afraid I'm not interested in a religious or metaphysical debate, so I'll just have to politely disagree.
If you believe the world has completely ended and it's time for a new dark ages then kill them.
If you believe that we can rebuild the world from this disaster and that one day things will get back to normal with barbecues and birthday parties then you should spare him
We'll just have to agree to disagree on that point. Clementine's already seen horrific stuff and the world's clearly gone to hell, so I understand where you're coming from saying she'll have to learn to cope with the new status quo. She's already living in fear enough as it is without looking at Lee as just another monster in a world of them, though.
I don't play Lee as someone trying to delude Clementine into believing things are better than they are (she's too smart for that), but what's the point of saving the human race if you sacrifice your humanity in the process? Your Nietzsche quote essentially sums up the rationale behind my choices.
Didn't Shepard say that to Illusive Man in ME3
