    Seriously ... in episode 1 he falls down like 10 times. I showed the game to a friend, when she was visiting me and she had to laugh about how clumsy Lee is. He must have VERTIGO or weak leg syndrome or something.

    But the real reason is that TTG wants to create dramatic scenes. You're more afraid, when you are on the ground and someone is attacking you and you are being forced in a corner etc. It's similar with the KOs ... They want you to be afraid for Lee and so on.

    But yes, in the end Lee is not the strong colored guy the others say he is... he's actually quite weak and useless. I mean, why doesn't he have at least one knife with him all the time? We always need to search for weapons laying around somewhere.

    Those situations are quite artificial too me. TTG shouldn't use them too often. How about you create tension by the sound of doors opening? By hearing moans, but not seing anyone? If you know there are walkers, but you don't know where, it's also quite scary, because they could be around every corner. Then TTG should start a quick event with stressing music and a human coming out of a closet and then you could actually shoot an innocent human (survivor ...not a walker) hiding. "Friendly fire" would be an interesting topic in one of the episodes.

    it's hard to be scared when your paranoia has made you hypervigilant. "Why are these guys so interested in my group" "why do they know where the camp is?"

    I got it. :)

    Poor Lee was made to look like a right pansy in Episode 1 - always tripping over his own feet. He was more manly in Episode 2 though. YUMMEH!

    Hum... that’s true. It is probably complicated to create really good scary situations when the players are expecting almost everything.

    But since they have not used a lot of different situations until now, they may try some new things at the next episodes. The only problem may be that scary things situations will close quarters fight and that’s doesn’t happens all the time (but you may always find a good reason to knock Lee out since he is not much of a fighter).

    The guy does have a giant gash in his leg. Last time I checked, when you have a giant gash in your leg it tends to make it really hard to walk, just saying.

    He was just slipping all the time .... twice over the blood in Clems house ...TWICE ... It didn't necessarily seem to be caused by his wound.

    Yeah, this one was really funny. It was a terrible impression of the character since it was right at the first moments of the game.

    Even Goofy wouldn’t do that. :p

    First time was because of ignorance, (though still funny)

    Second time, well I don't know about you, but when someone is trying to eat you, I would try to get away from him/her as fast as possible, your fight/flight response kicks in and rational thinking goes right out the window.

    Lee is mr. clumsy. He seems doomed to trip and fall over everything.

    Actually on my last playtru i managed to go into the kitchen without slipping on the blood... just walk close to the counter and you dont slip.

    Lee's a Civics Professor who got punched in the face by a 300 pound douche bag and smacked in the face with a gun with a psychopath on the end. He kind of comes across as an everyman to me, so I kind of expect him to take beatings.

    Exactly...People seem to miss the fact that you, as the player, are the one making him slip in blood! Walk carefully around it and not only does he not slip, but he also isn't completely soaked in blood for the rest of the scene.

    I laughed so hard at how many times poor Lee fell on his hip in the first episode, lol! My second playthrough I counted how many times he falls.. I think it was 7, lol. I love how you can examine the blood on the floor before you walk over it, but you still slip on it.. twice LOL

    Man, I tried to sneakily walk by it and he still slipped! Guess I wasn't sneaky enough lol
