Spoilers! Ending Choice!

edited August 2012 in The Walking Dead
So how many people looted the car at the end and why? Personally i took the food becasue no one was around and we needed it. I then told Clementine it was ok. Do you think this small yet big choice will have a larger outcome?

    i dont think its a big deal.

    i did both ways just to see what happens and in the trailer (if you dont steal,) clem doesnt have that red Brooklyn hoodie.

    in the end though it prolly wont be that big of a decision.

    The purpose of RPG choices in games, arent to do both or all.

    Its to go with what you feel is right. Making the hard choices, like in real life, you cant just try it again.

    My game is getting pretty messy with choices, siding with one person the another and such, but i do what i believe is right at the given time.

    I stole the food from the car since it did look abandoned, and we needed the food + supplies to keep going.
  • edited June 2012
    I left it be, the rest of the people looted it anyway.

    I left it be, considering I already traumatized Clementine by killing one of the brothers, I wanted to try and keep her trust a bit more.
    In reality I would of probably said wait and see if anyone returns within a few hours, but sadly that was not a option =\

    Those sound like they could be some famous last words to me. I wouldn't be surprised at all that in the future we bump into a few random survivors and one of them looks at Clementine and says, "Hey, that hoodie looks really familiar..."

    As for myself, I also ended up taking the supplies. As others have said, the car appears to be abandoned (even if it was recently) and the group really needed the supplies. Although I will admit I would feel horrible if it turns out the car's owner was just a couple meters off in the woods peeing or something. :(

    i took the supplies, shoudnt leave a car filled with so much supplies in these dark times... even if it was for a quick pee :P

    I did kill the brothers, but I refused to steal the food. The brothers thing was self-defense, but I figured if I looted that car, I was no better than the bandits. I was disappointed the rest of the group was so crass as to loot.

    Well, actually, I expected that much from Kenny, but I expected better from Carly.

    I looted the car too.. After all that happened at the farm and no one really got to eat, I figured we were all still starving. One thing I realized about myself in playing EP2, I was a lot less kinder or worried about what Clem would think of me.. It was more about survival.

    Self defense? One of them was trapped in a bear trap - no more need for self defense ;) (btw, I killed that brother, but let the other one live).

    And I didn't loot the car... I had to make up with Clementine.

    Well, I was defending my self-worth by making sure they were both dead. :D

    The car had just stopped, and I imagined a hungry couple / family walking back looking for their food or medicine, so I sided with Queen Clem on that one.

    Considering the hoodie was there, it would mean that whoever owns the car has a child with them, and stealing food from children is just wrong.

    Leaving your car open with food and supplies in it during a zombie apoc is just dumb. It's a time to be more guarded, even lock the door and take the key's.

    And who know's why the car was left abandoned, what may have happened to them. We were starving, could use the food and supplies.

    That's right! :D & peeing near the car to make sure your stuff wasn't jacked by some random survivors traveling through would of been a better idea. Just sayin'.

    Stealing food from anyone is wrong.

    I'm sort of torn on that. On one hand you are absolutely right, on the other hand ever since I saw the bar scene in the second season of The Walking Dead (the TV show) I have adopted the belief that just because the world has gone to hell does not give you the right to treat as enormous toilet.

    I hear ya, I would be torn too between the moral right and wrong as human beings. Like with Dale, (from the TV show) once said something like he can at leaste know he lived his life as a decent person. That's admirable, but useless in the end as the walkers were pulling his gut's from his body!

    Then Shane, he realized quickly that it's the strong that survive, and those morals have very little meaning during a zombie apoc. Even tho I feel Shane kinda 'lost it' early on with shooting Otis and eventauly attempted to kill Rick.
    I guess the stress of everything, the guilt of Otis, the loss of leadership and losing Rick's wife and son when Rick found the group, all added up to be too much for him to cope with.

    So I've taken into account everything from the TV show, and all that's happened in the game so far to determine how I would be if I were in that world, if I were Lee.. I wont go out killing innocent people just to loot their food and supplies, but I will also not hesitate to do what I think I must to survive. Like when some crazy woman is holding a crossbow at me, or a family of cannibles are trying to eat me, or if I come across an abandoned car with food and supplies, I am not going to worry about the right or wrong of it when it's survival!

    I just checked the ending again and noticed that the car's fuel gauge is on E, which could explain why no one was around the car. Also the fact that the owner(s) left the door open and the keys in the ignition suggests that they left in a hurry.

    So I'm guessing the they ran out of gas and bumped into some walkers and were forced to run for their lives.
  • edited June 2012
    What I didn't understand is why we weren't allowed to take only 2 boxes of food and ration as usual?

    They had presumably survived off of less for quite a while.

    I was saying in mind. Ok, we'll only take 2 boxes of food and one box of supplies, sadly there was no [o] button to back out and I was forced to just keep taking until the back of the station wagon was empty.

    It sounded like someone was watching in the bushes when your debating looting the car.
  • edited June 2012
    I admit as I was playing I was hoping for a third option to just take some of the stuff, but alas no such option. So I ultimately said no thanks, did no good either way though.

    were just monsters that came out of the woods and ruined their lives
  • edited June 2012
    The car was out of gas but the last person using the car left the lights on making me think they were just scouting for gas and wanted to have an easier time finding their lit up car in the woods. I passed on looting.
  • edited June 2012
    you guys do realise the car belonged to that crazy lady in the forest, in the end on the cam corder it shows her stomping something in that same car.

    so you were stealing from a dead lady, but idk why it was still on :/ idk

    that would explain the coat

    I didn't I thought it be someone else food and they were just trying to survive. I wish the others would of not did it but there was nothing I could of done to stop them. If I had the option to I would of but then again that might change something later on.

    You don't know that until after they take the batteries from the car and get the camera going again. That's AFTER you decide not to loot the car.

    Frankly it's a bit infuriating. If I knew it belonged to the bandits or the dead lady, that changes EVERYTHING! But, the decision was already made, so Clementine goes hungry and cold.

    So, so very stupid.

    Logically they'd have to realize this was either owned by the ass-hole bandits or the dead lady and they'd take the food, but since this is never shown, you have to assume the supplies are still considered forbidden by Lee.

    It's so stupid to leave the supplies there, that when I replay Episode 2 (my saves got broken), I will definitely take the supplies. I still think that at that juncture, it seems like the wrong thing to do, but future-knowledge means it's the right thing to do. Bah! I might as well be a total jerk to the dairy farmers as well, for all the sense this makes, but I'm not going to let Clem freeze for nothing.

    Of course I took the food! I mean, hey: they left the car unlocked and out in the open with the headlights on and everything. You wouldn't leave your car like that for more than five minutes and that's about the period of time the group was standing there.
    I figured it was abandoned, hence it was okay to take the supplies.
    (Maybe it was a set trap though?)

    I find it kinda amusing to read: "I didn't steal the food because I had to make up for the murder on Danny / Andy in front of Clementine."
    Yeah: "Kid, sometimes, you have to kill a defenseless man caught in a bear trap. But NEVER EVER take food from someone else, no matter how close you are to starving." lol

    I killed Danny because I didn't realize I had a choice and went like "Oh!" when I saw the you-made-a-choice note on top of the screen and watched the camera panning to a horrified Clementine. That really made me feel bad.

    The situation had no "right" solution. The car was sitting abandoned. We had no way of knowing who owned the car, where they were or if they were even still alive. That means we would be leaving the food behind on the assumption somebody would eventually show up to claim it. Risking the group starving to death on an assumption like that would be foolhardy. They needed the food desperately. They had to take it.

    It would have been totally different if the cars owners had been there. Like Lee said, were not the same as the bandits. I wouldnt have forced an innocent family of survivors to part with their supplies. Would have probably begged for a few cans of food for the kids sake, but thats about it.
  • edited June 2012
    had to kill the brother/let the other die. the sickness would only continue and they would set out on vengeance toward the group for messing up their little sick world.

    i'm with those that did not loot the car. personally i wanted to reassure clementine that lee was still there for her by listening to what she felt was the right thing to do. as traumatizing and messed up their world has become, that poor little girl needs to know she still has a voice and her guardian listens to her.

    also loved the little battery 'jab' as a shout out to episode one.
  • edited June 2012
    I did not take the food....

    Honestly i looked left and all but i just had a feeling that who ever's car that way is gonna get pissed and want revenge in ep3.
  • edited June 2012
    I went all nice and spared both brothers, also leaving the food. It'll probably bite me in the butt later on. (The food part, not the brothers. I'm assuming they died after the generator gets busted.)
  • edited June 2012
    The choice in stealing the food was easy. Either we do it or the bandits will and they will find it sooner or later. Also, as others pointed out, the car was abandoned in a hurry.
  • edited June 2012
    Kat summed it up pretty nicely I think. In a situation like the one there in, the line between right and wrong becomes a little blurry. Actions you wouldnt normally consider suddenly become neccessery for sheer survival.

    Obviously the bandits and the people at the dairy went way over that line, but I dont think our group has strayed too far yet.
  • edited June 2012
    I didnt loot, but I dont think that was the big choice, the main narrative purpose of that episode was to decide who we were with, Lilly or Larry.

    I guess now its time to stress our loyalty to Queen Clem, bring it on telltale!
  • edited June 2012
    I didn't take the food but that was only because I'd killed Danny (I forgot/didn't notice Clem was there to see it) and Andy (too dangerous to keep him alive when he finds out the others are dead).

    could have been the crazy lady car, when danny and lee came across her camp it was empty and nothing was there, maybe she came back to grab the tent and stuff,the hoodie could have been her kids, maybe she was gonna load up the car and grab Clem and hightail it out.
