I expected them to die, but not yet, I was expecting in the final two episodes, although as soon as Carly gave Lee a kiss, I should have realised that this is The Walking Dead.. nothing good ever happens
devistated by carleys death, though i figured they would do it eventualy to make the story easy to write but i was hopeing they wouldnt cop out. but man it was awfull and so much wasted potential between the 2 of them. honestly i dont like anyone im traveling with now (excluding clem of coarse) i would rather leave them, they are all just ticking time bombs and i dont want to be close the next time one goes off.
I thought they would die in EP2. So EP3 is not too bad. It's obviously a costfactor. Making them die saves a lot of money, don't need to make seperate cutscenes/dialogue etc. Taking away the players impact on decisions will make you spend less cash.
should have had everyone who chose douge die in this episode so the game goes different and carly people can contienue. money and diversity problem solved
I was in shock more than anything. Not wanting to accept what had happened, while also being perplexed at what to do next.
Up to that point I'd been on very good terms with Lilly and Carley. In that single moment one was dead and the other was as good as dead to me. Worse even.
My gut instantly told me to leave Lilly for dead, but I still took as long as I could to think it through. Looking back, my only small regret was that I didn't kneecap her before driving away.
Flopping down on the RV couch next to Clem afterwards, I felt a genuine sense of loss/loneliness/despair I don't think I've ever felt in a videogame before, so kudos, TTG.
I miss Carley, she and Clem were the only good things to happen to Lee since the world went to shit. I take some minor solace in knowing that her death was painless and without fear. It's a rare luxury not many in a dead world are afforded.
Okay, I'm gonna say it, I haven't played the game yet. I've been watching one of my favorite LP'ers playing through the episodes on YouTube and been enjoying his reactions, and I have rarely heard stunned silence out of him, but this f***ing moment did it to him, his wife that was watching him play, and me. I totally sympathized with his decision to leave Lilly behind. No matter what she thinks Carley may have done, it wasn't worth killing over. **** you Lilly. I wonder if I can kill her off early when I start to play through this game. I wonder how many people would still bring Lilly along after that.
I know a lot of people were saying before the release that Carley/Doug would die for technical reasons because TTG basically has to do twice the work for the role of one character. I wasn't sure about that myself. There are certainly game companies that would do that, but as far as I know, this is the first game Telltale has done where player choices are really at the center of the gameplay. And it's not like these are particularly long episodes anyway. How much extra work is it to put in a few more conversations for another character? So I was waiting to see how they would handle that, but I was also thinking it would be kind of lame if Carley/Doug did die because that would pretty much invalidate the choice you made at the pharmacy in Episode 1. They both end up dying anyway, so what does it matter?
But to Telltale's credit, I have to say that when the time came, I didn't feel that way at all. I think they pulled it off quite nicely. Even though I was kind of watching for it through the first few chapters, when Carley was shot, I was still shocked, and angry, and saddened all at the same time. All the emotions you want them to evoke in a TWD game. Really, all of the character deaths in Episode 3, but Carley's in particular, were some beautifully tragic moments. I'm having a hard time thinking of another video game death that's been this moving since Aerith in Final Fantasy VII.
Definitely a sense of loss over Carley and it has dampened my excitement for episode 4. Clem is the last purely good thing left in this game and I'm very afraid for her. I wonder if TTG underestimated fan reaction over Carley's death and how they handled it.

who is the youtuber?
on topic..nope, didnt see it coming...at least, not there
I was gutted. I wanted Lee to connect more with Carly. I haven't gotten to the bottom of the person responsible for stealing the supplies as yet, but I'm just really sad about this.
The only person I like at the moment is Clem and Kaatja. Kenny is a bit of a prick and that new hobo guy... I don't know yet.
Carley's death dampened and hindered the games motivation to continue, there's a real lack of connection with the character development, besides Kenny and Clem now. Don't really care where it goes now.
Whoa, thats straight up murder.
Doug jumps in the way and accidentally takes it in the back.
Lily out and out blasts Carley point blank. She wasnt even aiming for Ben.
lol, now I see the outrage
Lily didn't kill her/him, the bullet did. The bullet is made of lead which comes from the ground. The ground is from nature, so he/she died of natural causes. Case closed.
TWDG was my first TT game so I wasn't aware of the game mechanics the first time I played through it. First time I played, I saved Carley ( I always do) and liked the little relationship Lee and her were having. I was totally shocked when Lilly killed her. I was like "WTF??? HOw- LILLY??!! WHYYY...."

Same here, I think she got what she deserved since I rather have Carly or Doug on my team. Now I lost both.
I did, here:

Here's Carley's, in case people are interested.

Also, I really don't know what to think of Duck...is it just me, or is he a bit...slow?
And to top it off, it's the hottest woman who also likes you..
*shakes head*
I liked his death better. He threw himself in front of the bullet to save Ben.
Though I would have enjoyed a bit more of a goodbye to him.
