If you don't Chop the leg off Travis get's shot by accident and your group ends up fighting him instead of the band teacher.

Just thought that was cool since less then 15% of people didn't cut the dudes legs off.

    Yeah even the second time I did the scene, and tried to find a way not to chop his leg off, there didn't seem to be any way to advance the scene without doing it. I guess you just have to wait a really long time?

    It would have been better if after trying literally everything except cutting his leg off, you'd get the other thing happening right away.

    That way if you did chop his leg off, it would leave SOME doubt as to whether you REALLY had to do it, but in actuality if you tried to screw around with the trap and tried to hit the chain a bunch of times, you would've logically ran out of time.

    Not chopping his leg off did not seem like a reasonable option given how the scene plays out, and that's weird given we're talking about chopping a man's leg off. Not doing it should seem like an option.

    Agreed. I failed the first act because I was desperately trying everything to get him free, by the time I began to start hacking at his leg the Walkers had came. Then the kid gets shot with Marks rifle in the commotion and full on blood, screaming and chaos and everyone running away, and the dialogue options after he is shot.

    That hectic, frantic, desperate way was the perfect way to start this particular episode. Very pleased I "failed" that sequence.

    I don't ever plan to replay until all 5 eps are out too. Whatever I do on this first run is canon, everything else is the Ultimates universe.

    The first time I played I tried everything possible before resorting to hacking off the leg, so by then I had wasted so much time I ended up not being able to save the guy. He was only ONE chop away from freedom as well. Talk about adding insult to injury =/

    I went straight for the leg chop my first go!!! I didn't know I had another option! lol It was a hasty decision, and I ended up quiting and re-doing it.. tried the trap this time, then I chopped the chain a few times, then went back in for the leg chop! LOL That was brutal scene by the way! I'm gonna play through again today trying different options..

    I to tried to find another way but there where none so... I took his leg of in my first "mess around playthru".

    In my 2nd one I didnot beccouse he beg me to find another way so I humord him and eventually left him for the Walkers.

    I tried everything except chopping his leg off. When it became apparent that the only way to save him was to chop off his leg, I was going to try that, but he begged my to try anything else, so I kept trying to get the trap open. Eventually, the zombies arrived. RIP random guy.

    Hey, I'm doing the exact same thing too. I got in one wack with the axe before Kenny had us all fall back. Then got yelled at by Lilly back at the motor inn. I remember saying...welcome to episode 2..damn some things don't ever change!

    The first time I did it I tried the trap, chopping the chain, even tried cutting the tree down (yes you can try to chop the tree down). Finally I realised I had no choice and started to chop through the guy's leg only to run out of time half way through and have Lee leave him there with his leg half cut through...

    That's actually what happened on my second playthrough. After I found out chopping the leg off had actually been a choice, I decided to just try everything; i.e. the stick, the rock, axe on the trap, axe on the chain etc. and after I'd exhausted my options there was no time left to chop the leg off.

    That's exactly what happened to me. I felt terrible leaving that poor dude behind with half a leg chopped off. I am pretty sure that was the worst first encounter I had with any person/character in my life. :D

    It was like:

    Teacher: 'HELP! I'M TRAPPED AND ALL FUCKED UP!'
    [M]lee: 'Wait a sec, I have a grand idea.'
    *chops off half his leg while walkers roam the area.*
    T: 'NO!!! PLEASE!'
    Kenny: 'Lee, we have to go.' and some other gibberish
    [M]: 'Yeah. Now he's REALLY fucked up. No sense in taking him along.'

    *Full of shame for his blatant failure, Lee now has to watch that mentioned random guy grab the barrel of Kenny's gun, pointing it at himself while tugging it so hard, he actually pulls the trigger with Kenny's fingers himself.*

    I think I'll go whip myself some more...

    Plus I prefer the Travis zombie to the teacher zombie. Travis getting killed by simply ignoring the zombies is weaker than the teacher getting killed because he's stuck in a trap.

    Second, Travis becoming a walker after bleeding out by a gunshot wound makes more sense than the teacher bleeding out because of a missing limb with a veterinarian helping him. A vet should be able to stop the bleeding for that, but should be less able to stop-up a bullethole.

    I think not cutting the leg makes for better canon.

    All medical students have the same basic medical education, being a surgeon, a dentist, or even a vet shouldn't matter. Those are specialization skills - all those guys have to go through a 'basic' medical education and all should be able to stop excessive bleeding, no matter where they end up.

    My 1st run at Ep2 was a disaster: I left him in the trap, his leg barely attached to a few strands of meat and tissue and left for the zombies. The kid freaked out, he catches one in the gut. Sloppy as hell but man, the drama!

    I just wack him in the leg a couple of times and leave him for dead. No matter what you do you're taking a dying personing back to the motel that will try to kill you. I selected 'not our problem', but we help them anyway. Even if you let the zome attack Kenny's wife, the dame thing kills you and not her. Even earlier, if you do nothing when it comes between Duck and the other kid, Kenny grabs Duck and runs off and you can still try to save Hershel's son--which you can't.

    meh... The best part is telling Kenny to punch Larry then Larry knocking him on his ass. I'm gonna let Clem eat Mark and see what happens.

    At that scene i waisted way too much time hacking on the chain like a retard.As if you could cut a chain like that with an axe -_-. But i think they should have at least killed him, instead of letting him be eaten by zombies with an almost cut through leg, which has to be one of the worst deaths ever.It is rather comical though if you think about it just one axe blast away from being free and then he still gets eaten

    I'm going to try a painfully shy inactive Lee who hesitates to make any decisions whatsoever. Will just stand there like a lemon and say nothing as much as possible and piss everyone off.
