Goodbye Clem

Soooooo... I noticed how the thumbnail for each episode shows a tough moral decision that will carry over into the next episode... Will Clem have to kill Lee? The thumbnail shows her standing over a body (presumably an unamed, Lee, or even her parents) and while I know this a really early speculation. Will the way you raise her effect the way she reacts? Will a sheltered Clementine watch helplessly as Lee is mauled by The Marshes? Will a sheltered but realistic Clementine save Lee? Will a cold survival of the fittest Clementine kill her parents and Lee just to be safe? And on an unrelated note, am I the only guy who saved Carly because I felt that between her and a befriended Lily she'd have plenty of female caretakers if Kenny left taking Katjaa with him.

    I've thought that. It especially makes sense when you tell her "bad people need to die", in light of your own crimes.

    That's assuming you killed the brothers?

    For me personally, Both brothers are alive... although one got pretty messed up until my controller died mid punch XD. But Clem knows I killed a man and that he wasn't a walker. That's what makes me wonder what she'll choose.

    Yes, if you kill the two brothers she's taught "bad people need to die". I don't know what the lesson is in reverse, but I'm sure each episode shapes Clem for the finale.

    Hmmmm....I killed both brothers in front of Clem and told her bad people need to die. Doh! If indeed I do become a monster and Clem puts me down then I tought her well. Bad people do need to die. I also saved Carley so I'll just sign over power of attorney paperwork to Carley.

    strange topic..

    clem won't kill lee she's a child, she limited strength and she trusts lee,

    she is more likely to run away and hide shout/scream at someone else to help..

    How Clem develops through the game reminds me of Carl in the comic books and the tv series. They're both getting hardened after everything they witnesses and experiences. Carl is sometimes a loose cannon, after my opinion. Even if I think it's unlikely, I don't think it's impossible for Clem to develop the strength and determination to take a human life.

    i just think anything physical clem won't do but if she picks up carley's pistol or lilly's rifle and shoots thats more probable.

    I meant if Lee were to be bitten... I thought I put that in my original post, oops.

    i took that as obvious..

    but my point still stands...

    if clem was in that mind set she'd of saved lee from the her babysitter..

    yes thats at the begining and shits happened since then, but still i doubt my clem is capable..

    In the TV show Carl (kid) shot Shane, so isnt completely unreasonable that Clem could shoot Lee.

    *may have to take her out*
    *grabs spare salt lick*

    Yeah. I said in another thread that in the worst of playthroughs the game ends with Clem learning of the full detail of your crimes and shoots you in the back because she's figured out you're a bad person.

    But that's only if you're a monster and justify killing by saying "Bad people must die." If you raised her weak she doesn't do anything, but if you brought her up strong, she saves you from the zombie attack.

    and not always in a positive manner.

    I'm not particularly sure that what Lee does will eventually shape Clem if he does die. It'd be cruel for people that did not kill anyone in their play-through, and then when Lee dies, she does not do anything.

    Only way I can see Clem shooting my Lee is if I get bitten and it just has to be done. I haven't been teaching her that sometimes bad people have to die. I'm going the opposite route by 'hopefully' teaching her that I won't kill someone just because we 'think' they deserve to die. The group should see me as someone that will let people live regardless of what they have done instead of murdering someone.

    For example.
    In Ep1 I told her the truth and said I made a mistake and accidentally killed a guy who wasn't a zombie. In Ep2: I tried to save Larry. I spared both brothers and didn't get into a fist fight with the 2nd one in the yard. I walked away and then he attacked me which made me defend myself. He ended up in the electrified fence though and begged me to kill him after he got zapped. I just looked at Clem and walked away. I also stood at here side and didn't take the food in the car we found.

    So, with my choices, I'm pretty sure I would just have to be bitten for anyone to want to shoot me. ;) Course anyone that does I'll just kill off like the others. Not my fault they got bit. Sure, I could have prevented it but meh.. One less mouth to feed.
