Those that sided with Kenny in the meat locker..

edited January 2013 in The Walking Dead
..because Larry was probably dead and he would've turned. Would you have done the same if it was Carley/Doug lying there? Or Kenny/Katjaa? Lilly? Or even worse.. Clem?

Just wondering if an apparent disike for Larry influenced that decision.

    It probably did. Me, I tried to save him, but I can understand why some people sided with him, even if they were on good terms with L-man...
    L-man? Where did that come from?

    Ironically it requires an additional character to right out L-Man as opposed to Larry. XD

    For me it was a combination of dislike for Larry combined with fear over his size if he did in fact turn undead, unzombified Larry was able to knock Lee and Kenny down with one punch each, that's scary enough.

    Your point being?

    I understand him, and can see how he could be a walker threat, but I'm a softie...

    In the heat of the moment of my 1st playthrough I killed him. Mainly cause I thought it would be game over right then and there-cause of his size and the close quarters; but the fact that he was a total a hole the entire game certainly took (all) the sting out of it.

    Maybe not though - they almost couldn't handle the zombie!teacher / student. And Larry is twice the size of both of them.

    I don't condone what Kenny did, but i do think that the fear was quite real.

    Oh I think everyone can Agree on the topic of Kenny and fear he's definetly shown that he's a Scaredy Ken

    i was on kennys side already so that was a factor to why i smashed his brains in, as well as his size and he is strong and also he argued that you should kill people before they are dangerous and i was pretty sure he was a zombie.

    if it was kenny and larry was shouting at me to kill him i would have tried to save him but i wasnt going to do mouth to mouth to a possible zombie and if he turned larry would rip his head off.

    if it was lilly and larry was shouting at me to save her (mainly for alliance purposes) i would have tried to save her(no mouth to mouth) but there is a possibility larry wouldn't let us kill her if she zombified so we may have to deal with 2 zombies but only one at a time (figuring larry would get bit protecting her) and we could kill her and then smash larrys skull in before he gets up.

    if it was carly/doug i would have tried to save them (no mouth to mouth) even though i would imagine everyone else would be against it, if someone else was trying to save them i may have been neutral and said nothing, but lee, larry, kenny and lilly could take them out if they turned.

    if it was Clementine i would try and save her (maybe mouth to mouth if i had to) and if she turned i would take her out myself

    if it was Katjaa and larry said to kill her but kenny wanted to save her i would i would try and save her (no mouth to mouth) if she turned larry would rip her head off

    so it was mainly the threat larry posed and poetic justice plus i was on kennys side, if i was on larrys/lillys side the first try i would try to save him (no mouth to mouth) but we could have all died if he came back but it would have been a gamble i was willing to take if i was truely on his side

    Lee has never been able to kill a walker on his own without some sort of blunt or sharp "brain scrambling" weapon - we have none of those in the locker. I really don't know what people are expecting them to kill a walker with - bare hands?

    As to the OP, I never wanted to kill Larry. It was a multitude of reasons for why I let Kenny drop the salt lick on him. We were in a small, enclosed space, without any sort of weapons that would be able to stop a moving walker. Lilly was in a fragile emotional state, and if her father had turned, I didn't think I could rely upon her 100 percent to help us get rid of it. Kenny had made a point earlier that he was so weak from hunger that he nearly passed out on the walk over to the farm (I assumed Lee and Lilly to be in nearly the same state). Larry was physically bigger and stronger in real life. Had any of these things been different (say that Larry was a small guy, or that we weren't locked in a small space), I wouldn't have gone through with it.

    The fact that he was an a-hole means that I probably won't mourn his loss. but it wasn't a motivating factor in needing to smash his head in.

    OK, I did spare the brothers, but until I saw Andy and fought him, I honestly thought there would be a chance to deal with them after everyone was safe.

    In the end, though, I just couldn't kill him. For one, he was no longer a direct threat. Two, his mother was dead, and most likely his brother as well (Danny DID take a sickle to the shoulder a few times, and got his leg caught in a bear trap - he probably bled out in the barn). He was all alone, and I figured either the Walkers would get him eventually or the Bandits would ( I thought the Bandits were more likely, as they were already pissed at the family).

    My point being your L-Man nickname for him requires more typing than his actual name. Thought that was obvious. :cool:

    yeah i spared them after i smashed larrys skull because they weren't a threat any more, thats murder rather than survival

    I tried saving Larry for a number of reasons

    - despite been an ass it's better having an ally/extra pair of hands
    - i generally think we could've crushed zombie cranium before he rose to his feet
    - Clem was watching

    If you were Andy. And this man named Lee just killed your brother and mother. Would you have a score to settle? Or would you just lay down and let zombies eat you?

    Or let me say this the other way around.
    This man named Andy just left Carley to bleed out in the barn, and his actions caused Clementine to turn into a walker. Now will you just lay down there and let the walkers eat you up. Or will you go after him? Even if it is the last thing you do?

    He had just been electrocuted... He was in no fit state to fight, let alone escape zombies

    I helped Kenny and would've done the same regardless of who it was that had died.
  • edited July 2012
    I helped Larry and killed both brothers. The only person that I would have had second thoughts about killing in that situation would have been Clem.

    Edit: If we would have had some type of weapon then it would have been a different story. But stuck with a walker in a meat locker or any small area with no weapon isn't a very good situation.
  • edited July 2012
    I tried to kill Larry, but I wouldn't kill anyone else. Because Larry is twice our size......
  • edited July 2012
    I help Larry because it was the right thing and I couldn't ignore Lilly's pleads for help.

    However, you brought up a good point. What you choose to do in that meat locker will probably come back to haunt Lee in different ways other than his alliances/friendship between Kenny and Lilly. What if Clem or Carley/Doug drowns and you pull them to safety but they're not breathing. Do you really expect Kenny to aid you in giving CPR or even Lilly after you helped to smash in the skull of her dad?
  • edited July 2012
    I chose Kenny. That being said, I love the heart-wrenching decisions this game forces you two make. Very awesome.

    He's talking about if you spare him. If you kick him into the fence (or shoot him) he's dead.

    If you don't punch him in that scene after you were almost zapped, you can non-lethally push Andy into the fence by blocking his punches...

    True, but I sound like I cared more if I give him a nickname (I did care, though) :D

    I would have done it no matter who had died in the locker (Larry died of a heart attack) it was a simple matter of survival, kill the walker before it kills you.

    Thing is though he wasn't dead!
  • edited July 2012
    After Larry punched Lee and left him for the walkers in the pharmacy, Larry was a dead man already. So, in the meat locker, my Lee smashed his head first chance!

    As to the OP, it wouldnt matter to me who was zombified, I would do what must be done. Period!

    Sure I would feel bad if it were Clem, but I'd get over it.

    A Clem zombie would kill just as quick as any other, so it's about survival!

    And just where is he going to go, exactly? Walkers are closing in behind him (he still kneeling when his walker mom gets to within 5-10 feet of him), so he can't go that way. He also can't just follow my group - we're four adults, and one of them still has his brother's rifle. Maye he can sneak into the woods, but what for? It's crawling with bandits who want to kill him. He has NOBODY to help him out, so unless the man suddenly becomes an incredibly skilled assassin in the next few moments, he's as good as dead. Yes, there is the slim chance he could attempt to come after Lee, but exactly what is the the chance of him surviving long enough to be successful?

    What's the chances of Lee surviving a car crash finding an adorable eight year old and managing to get as far as he has?


    No honestly what are the chances? i suck at math.

    He has a plot shield for the time being, so the chances of that scenario (or any where he doesn't die) in the TWD Universe is 100%.

    In our universe, his chances would be... slim.

    but he was dead, he had a massive heart attack that stopped his heart, resuscitation is bringing someone back to life in that situation, and i think even a few seconds of no immune system would make the virus take over, resuscitation is impossible, unless you can actually bring a zombie back to life with a defibrillator.
