Duck's death hit me hard. I felt good that at least I never treated him like shit. Doug's death was the hardest for me though. This good, nice guy, a loyal friend, died because of his own nature and a crazy bitch who turned homicidal. Doug didn't deserve a death like that. No one does.
To be honest, I think the rapid-fire deaths messed up Episode 3's pacing. When I lost Carley I was devastated and sad, and I still thought about her even when it came time for Katjaa and Duck's scene, and so the latter two's deaths didn't have as big of an impact on me as they should have.

But that's just my two cents.
You're not the only one to feel that way either. I just could not concentrate after Carley's shock death. I knew it would eventually come, just not at that moment.
In my first playthrough I thought Duck was annoying and needed to go. In my second playthrough I realized that he is just a innocent child when he helped Lee being a detective. Made me a bawww. Katjaa's death was the most f¤#ked up. Carley's death made a bigger impact because it was so unexpected to me. My Lee lost 2 good friends when Lily pulled the trigger.
A lot of the characters have died already, but Carley's death just broke my damn heart!
Honestly, Kenny's family shook me up the most. I mean, Kenny was just broken, all the light has gone out of his life, now. I felt like tearing up myself.
Carly would have hit me harder if it dwelled on her death more. She essentially got shot, died and then we moved on. The most emotional part for me is when Katja shot herself because of Duck's death.
When Carly was shot I screamed at the monitor like no you dumb b*** at Lilly for what she did, in my emotional rage I left Lilly on the side of the road to rot, that was one decision in the game where I felt very good about doing and didn't hesitate on. With Duck in my play through me and Kenny's family are on good terms because I have supported Kenny throughout the game. I decided to shoot Duck and I waited till he stopped breathing, it was very sad and I'm not going to lie I actually cried...
This episode was very intense, I was upset so many of my group have died and couldn't do anything to stop it. I will conitinue playing but Im not going to have such a close connection other with Clemintine.
Honestly, Kenny's family shook me up the most. I mean, Kenny was just broken, all the light has gone out of his life, now. I felt like tearing up myself.
I felt the same way, to be honest I am suprised Kenny didn't shoot himself after that horrible seen of despair. I really feel bad for his family and having no one else in the world.
Duck. It was the third death in a day, and was a cumulative effect of repeated, relentless emotional body blows.
Psychologically, Carley's death affects me the most. She save my (Lee's) life, like...at least four times. Every body else in the group (apart from Kat & Clem) are/were question marks, but not Carley. I didn't miss Larry one bit at all. I'm I'm glad Lilly is gone (for good, I HOPE). But Carley was a true ally and in the ZA true allies are gold.
And now she's gone. Hell, I was even thinking about it on my way to work. Jebus.

Your not alone haha, I was thinking about my play through this evening and started contemplating death after life and what happens to the ones we love. This episode was very good in a sense it got so many emotionally, I have never played a game where I felt so upset bc of a character/characters died. Very good work on Tell Tale and the Walking Dead writers part.
Duck and Carley, obviously Duck's death was the saddest one, I almost cried when I saw him breathing fast while he was against the tree and his face was so whacked -_______- and when Katjaa killed herself for Duck as she loved him more than her life afterwards Kenny came to cry OMF* -________________- somebody will cry today...

Well, I like your two cents. That's actually how I felt, too. Makes me wonder how episode four is going to follow up.
I chose other. I think the bunny rabbit (Beginning of Episode two) was the most screwed up death. I didn't even get to eat him. I hope he comes back as a Walker and we can see him in episode four. Deep down, we all know that happy endings have rainbows, butterflies, a sunrise, pixie dust, rainbow farts and BUNNIES!
Seeing that dead rabbit made me feel like there was no hope left.
That's pretty much the point. It's shockingly bad, it's terrible, it's way worse, and the final step of it all is shooting the little boy who never shut up and now is quietly wheezing out his last moments. If you don't like the pointedly manufactured hopelessness of this episode, Walking Dead isn't for you.
The gravity of Carley's death never really hit me until the latter stages of the episode.
I will admit that I am still sad about it but it was Duck's death that had the most impact on me at the time.
The whole scene. The talking and the lead up to it with Kenny pleading with Kat and of course, that bloody soundtrack. Kudos to the sound department, man. That music alone could've brought tears to a glass eye. Katjaa's death was simply salt in an already painful wound.
I think Carley’s death was probably the most shocking in the sense that I did not saw it coming.
But the saddest were most probably Duck’s and Larry’s because of the other characters involvement. Watching Lily trying to save her dad and Kenny facing the need to kill his son (and doing that myself into my game) had a deepest impact.
Larry death- relief
Doug- 'Doug, you ok?, Walk it off brah'
Kat and Duck: 'Oh snap, that just happened...this episode is crazy!'
As I'm realizing now, Doug was just fluff. Carley interacts with you more substantially in her episodes; saves your ass at the beginning of Ep2 with the dude in the pickup turning; gives you food; allows you to come clean in Ep3; she had your back like you had Kenny's.
Doug is hard to talk to, if he talks at all- he does make that alarm system at the motel but that's it. I picked him because the OBVIOUS choice was Carley so I figured, he must have been the hidden gem. No, he was just the illusion of choice for Ep 1.
Different person, different death, different emotion. I was shocked and angry when Carley/Doug died, hurt and a little guilty when Katjaa died because I didn't see it coming, sad but resigned when Duck died.

It is true that you can bond better with Carley, but Doug was not just fluff. He was actually my favorite character. He was a very nice person, heck, he got in the way of a bullet for a guy he barely even knew, he just didn't save you as often as Carley because he didn't like guns. On Ep2 he does hit David/Travis when he attacks you, but as it turns out, wooden planks aren't very effective against zombies. I guess I liked him because he was a character I could identify myself, my Lee, with, I feel like he was the only person you could actually count on, he just didn't have that many moments to shine.

I thought Doug was gonna build us a laser-guided walker killer or some anti-walker grenades...something McGuyver-ish. I was all 'ha! everyone picked Carley, lets show them, Doug!'...nothin.
When I replayed it with Carly; omg; so much interaction- she seems alive and part of the group.
Carley is dominating the poll, and she should cause i agree. I was shocked beyond belief when it happened
Oh well. Just different opinions I guess. I've yet to do a playthrough where I save Carley, I plan on doing that after I finish all 5 episodes. But I don't know, I feel like Doug deserves a bit more attention, he was a very cool guy, and as I've stated on more threads than I can remember, I almost cried when Lilly shot him, but still couldn't bring myself to be mad on neither her nor Ben...
Other: Lee axing his brother was the most emotionally charged death scene for me.
Really? I find that interesting... we didn't get to know Lee's brother and family that much, so all I could do was feel a little sorry that Lee had to do that, but nothing else, really.
Is the first time I feel sad, nervous and shocked by a character in a game die! Carley was the one who always saved lee, the person I trusted most (Clementine too), because until now I'm sad ...
But see kenny crying and kaatja dead beside him, and duck!that was sad too!

Carley's and Ducks death were the most emotional for me. Kinda thought she said what she did cause knew Lee had her back. Doubt anyone expected Lilly to do what she did. I was shocked and had to pause the game for awhile but when Duck died I almost started bawling. I didnt shoot him fast enough and he actually turned! So sad
Comments
He gave up his life to save a traitor
Why Doug? WHY?
But that's just my two cents.
You're not the only one to feel that way either. I just could not concentrate after Carley's shock death. I knew it would eventually come, just not at that moment.
Or Ducks because I grew to like the kid and because Lee and Kenny are bros and it really hurt to see him cry.
Honestly, Kenny's family shook me up the most. I mean, Kenny was just broken, all the light has gone out of his life, now. I felt like tearing up myself.
My second time through, I had Kenny shoot duck, just to see the difference. It was horrible.

Neither Kat's or Ducks had a real effect on me, I was still in a "wtf-mode" over Carley. Too many, too soon.

Whoops.
