I personally would be very interested to see that!
and by me
I thought it was funny how Lee picked on her a little bit about the batterys at the end of EP2..
"your never gonna let me live that down are ya"? lol..
Just like Carley.
The only reason Carley could feasibly and logically be around is because she's a woman, and if you're heterosexual, that means sex, which is why players hope to "hook up" with her, but to me, otherwise she has proven to be useless.
There are ample guns. Someone always comes to your aid in some fashion, just not with a gun that causes noise, and is useless when out of ammo.
I watched a few Lets plays of EP2 with Carley and she seems so out of place to the narrative. However that is how most males were raised; to protect women, and since most gamers age and mindset haven't elevated out of a juvenile stance, that is why Carley was chosen the most.
Its deep rooted genetics TellTale tapped into and manipulated, save the woman or the male, male players will usually always save the female, since the early days we have been programmed to do so, and female players will also save Carley since women carry same gender preference.
The few brave and bold that saved Doug ( such as myself ) realised he had value as an individual, and not based on his gender, or looks, as obese people are looked at as useless and grotesque.
Carley giving me insights about Lees crime is the very definition, of useless. Her use stretches to how many bullets she has in the clip, or if you want to be a cynic, the fact that she can procreate.
I totally agree with you, which is why I chose to save Doug (also, I'm a female, and I find Doug attractive. It's not the reason I saved him, though). I saw Carly as pretty useless when compared to a guy who proved his intelligence and skill of improvising. Meanwhile, Carly couldn't understand how to fit batteries into a radio.
Also, I saw Carly as a threat. She might slip or intentionaly talk about Lee's crime, which will cause trouble between us and the rest of the group.
will be posting stuff when we get it in game
While your interpretation is interesting, you're assuming that she is female and is good with a gun are the only reasons why we might have saved her. I think people were more likely to save her simply because they got to know her a lot better than they got to know Doug. In episode 1, just about the only interaction you have with Doug prior to the choice, is that he manages to program the tv remote to turn on the televisions across the street, and has a few lines of dialogue. Carley confronts you about being a murderer, yet trusts you to not be harmful to the group. She also goes on the rescue mission with you to save Glen. She saves you/Clementine from the zombie in the restroom. She also helps to serve as a stabilizing force in the group against Kenny and Lily. But ya know, Doug did manage to turn the tv's on.
I think it's pretty funny that you mentioned that most gamers' mindsets are rather juvenile. It seems like all you've managed to do is make generalizations rather than make an actual point. It'd probably serve you better in the future to not assume that you know what other people are thinking when they make a choice.
Well...that's partially true. Carley being an attractive female and possible future romance is more of an added bonus than the main reason. The main reason is that Carley saved Lee and Clem from being happy meals multiple times. When it came time to save her or not I opted to save her. In fact, after episode 2, I'd have to save her life at least three more times just to even things up. I'm/we are in her debt.
Okay, I'll bite. As Skeptic said, you'd do well not to claim the only reason most people would pick Carley is because she's a chick with a gun. That's bull. Only a fool would choose who they like SOLELY based on appearance. It takes more than just appearance to prove just how great a character would be, it takes skill and personality as well. And you claim that juvenile minds and women would choose Carley for that foolish reason and some sort of feminine bond or something, but that's generalization. I understand this is only your opinion, but you're also assuming something of other people.
I'm a girl myself, and I say I didn't save Carley because we're both female, I saved her because she proved herself. She killed the undead to save the group, she went with Lee and eventually Glenn to at least try and help that poor woman in the motor inn, she's supportive of Lee, and while she may know his secret, her dedication to him shows. She even says that what happened in the past before all the shit that happens started doesn't necessarily matter and that it doesn't have to be a bad person. And what "brave and bold" are you referring to that would save Doug? Do you have to be so biased? People like Doug will save Doug, people who like Carley will save Carley. Actually, I do like both of them.
For the last bit, my $.02 is that Carley knowing Lee's past and secret isn't useless at all. It could cause detriment to the group, as Carley said, but it could also be possibly grounds for events in the later episodes. It could play a part in how a certain situation goes down, and how characters reply towards him. That coupled with Carley supporting Lee as a leader could lead to some rather delicious but hard drama in the game.
Yeah, he says that all the time if you go with that particular choice, either not pushing a button or clicking the "..." choice. And I wouldn't take him murdering a Senator to heart, as it could've been some other way around. We'll just have to wait and see.
being a guy, i felt carley and lee bonded well and the chick with gun thang didn't hurt either..
ttg imo 'messed' up doug because of the limited almost stunted interactions with him.... based purely on the face value of 'skills' carley wins..
yes doug may prove to be more use later on but we have to wait and see
bottom line save both of em in different save slots .....savelots ? hmmm sounds similar lol
I don't think anyone is debating whether some people may have picked Carley because she is a chick with a gun. What I'm saying is: don't lump all the people who saved Carley into the same boat. Just because we chose to save Carley, does not mean we did so for juvenile reasons.
you've mis read my post
i didn't 'lump all' the people i said 'there are people who do'
it is a fact some people have picked her for that reason..
plus i added my own view of why i picked carley.. i would assume people would then 'agree' with that statement..
i don't think it's necessary to spell out everything..
I wasn't referencing your post as much as Neon's post. I'm sorry if it came off that way, but I didn't take offense to anything you said and can appreciate why you made your choice.
next time quote neons post lol but since you picked my post i automatically assumed you where refering to me
'bro fist'
Cheers, mate
While if you decided to save Carley despite her "loyalty" which many of you speak of she's gonna spill the beans either by accident or on purpose(if she see's you murder Andy and sees you as the monster the news displayed you as). Depending on who you chose to back in the meat locker is the person whose gonna have your back while the other wants to get rid of you and take Clementine for her safety.
I have a weird feeling it's gonna happen and it's another reason why people think she's gonna attempt suicide(or be against you), and be a reason for distention between the group and Lilly saying "We're not gonna let one person screw this up for us" Referring to Lee or Kenny depending on who helped/Killed Larry of course.
1. I want to know more about him.
2. He seems to be better than Carley with electronics. Although this is a zombie apocalypse, electronics can and very likely will save the groups' life.
3. He seems like a pretty cool guy who doesn't afraid of anything.
All these options will be same except Doug isn't as involved if he's around and none of these really lead to branching storylines.
Being backstabbed by Carley seems very unlikely, at least in my game, she's very loyal to Lee. I mean, why save Lee's life five times (granted maybe she didn't know who he was outside the pharmacy when they first meet but the rest were done when Carley knew Lee's past run in with the law) and then advise Lee that what happened in the past does not matter when Lee asks her opinion about telling the rest of the group about his murder conviction. I was thinking that Lee lets the cat out of the bag next episode, against Carley's council, and that's what causes the next round of yelling we see in the preview.
So you saved Doug, killed the brothers, stole the food, obviously if that's what you chose, it must be right. I don't see why it's necessary to justify decisions in a game where there are no right answers. Everyone is going to play all the options anyway.
Edit: I don't think Dougie was obese.
I am more interested in who was Lee's wife to get it on with a senator.
I like that idea. It will be a real treat if that was the idea. Tempting the player with the bonus of the gun. Short sighted indeed on the players part.
Don't think people are really expecting to "bone" anyone in this game, I think repression is playing a role in those comments.
Oh please. Listen Doug is a "disgusting fat body" and in a ZA he is useless. At any moment the survivors have to get ready to run the 100 meter dash with hurdles. If you want to risk your neck for a disgusting fat body that can't jump one hurdle then have fun being teamed up with a fat body that is gonna go down first and take half the food and supplies he was carrying with him. Not saying that everyone has to be like Bolt but my goodness. The man is a basement dwelling nerd. By his own admission he does not get out much.
In the next scene Lee and Clem are on a train. Does anyone think that fat body is going to catch a moving train?
So no fat people are not useless in everyday life. But in a ZA they are a buffet.
I disagre with this post whole-heartedly. I'm about the same build as Doug. Does that mean I can't run? Hell no. I actually went to an overnight zombie apocalypse airsoft game, and I was the one who not only didnt waste his ammo (Started with 20 shots, and only used 9 in 5 hours), but also could book it just as fast as anyone else and managed to stay alive ALONE seperated from the group 3 times, not getting infected all game. Just because some of us are 'big boned' doesn't mean at all that we're useless in any fashion in a zombie apocalypse.
I saved Carley because she had proven herself useful in multiple occasions, and was really hoping throwing her the ammo meant she could save Doug too.
Go back to your cave and stop trolling.
LOL.
If I respond with snark I'll hurt your feelings and then the German will come and give me a yellow card. So I'll pretend that little section I quoted didn't really come off your keyboard.
Suffice to say I am not a troll.
That's fantastic that you can do some stuff and still be "big boned" (I love that phrase)
The fact of the matter is Doug is being established as "the fat guy" If I recall Doug is the one who eats the biscuits that is given to him by the St. John's mother. Carley does not do the same. That bit is clearly a gag at him being fat. Also In talking to Mark he mentions hearing doug talk about food in his sleep. Another fat joke.
I see you have taken this personal and feel that a slight on doug is a slight on you. I'm sorry for that. I must have slipped your name in unknowingly in my post.
Actually, she does. As someone who's played through the game twice now, I distinctly remember someone saying that Carly ate all the food on the way back to the motel.
OOO! Yeah.
Lilly does say that Carley and Ben stayed back since Carley ate some of the food on the way back. Good catch. I was slippin.
Though I think to have Doug stuff his face seconds after getting the basket of food was a "fat person" gag.
doug ate 'half'
they both guilty lol
And there is the other side of the spectrum, haha
