Duck, man. I was playing with my two younger siblings and they were kinda staring at me as I was crying as I shot him in the head. lol.
Kenny's my buddy so watching him grieve was extremely difficult. And Duck wasn't a bad kid either... maybe a little annoying, but his enthusiasm was heartening. I've played through the episode four or five times now and Kenny's reaction sets me off every time.
In terms of other people...
-Carley: Meh. She was really stupid for going off on Lilly. Not that she had it coming but she should have used her head there. She wasn't in my "canon" playthrough so I wasn't as attached to her as most of you are; her death ranks in value to about Jolene's in my book, no offense.
-Doug: What a great guy. I felt way more sad in this case because he died a hero in a way. And I was hoping that he'd pull off a badass move in a later episode, oh well.
-Katjaa: Her death was the most shocking to me... but it really made Duck's death more depressing more than anything.
-Larry: As much as I disliked the guy, as even though in my "canon" playthrough I help Kenny kill him... it wasn't an easy thing to do, especially watching Lilly scream and struggle the way she did.
Carley because she was a trusted friend to Lee in my game and her death made it harder and harder to go on with the group, especially since she was murdered by someone in the group.
And Duck because it showed that even pure innocence stands no chance in this brutal reality that has been unleashed by God knows what. It really demonstrated that there are no lines this "infection" won't cross and implicates through Duck that even Clementine can very well be a victim. Overall, Duck's death brought up the possibility that someone as innocent and cute as Clementine can be turned and that is an incredibly disturbing and brutal reality; the last remnants of innocence is slowly being purged from this scarred world. I can't even imagine how this is all going to turn out now.
Kenny woulda taken care of that for you, no problem.
At least he did in my game- took a lil coaxing but I got it out of him
Nah, I couldn't do that to him. Maybe if I make a playthrough where I'm purposefully a huge dick to everybody, but I'd never force somebody to kill their own kid. Better me than him, especially when we've been buddies. I'd rather have Duck reanimate.

he's gonna throw it back in your face, watch lol
thats the only reason I made him do it

Katjaa said that killing Duck would be doing the family good, and Kenny has mentioned forgiving Lee due to Katjaa's opinion of him, so...
Although I didn't really think of Kenny killing Duck from a full-circle thing with Shawn/Hershel. Hm. Maybe I will make a playthrough for that because that's an interesting idea. Good thing I have this game bought on two systems lol
No he won't Kenny is my boy! he would never do that, i always got his back!
Like when you didnt back him at Hershels farm after Sean dies (Ep2)
Like when you first enter the drugstore and Larry confronts Duck? (Ep2)
Like at the start of Ep2 when you dont agree with him he throws it back?
Anytime you dont blindly back him for your own personal reasons/beliefs best believe you'll get a reminder of it in the next ep- I know I have haha

I was sad to see Kaatja go the way she did. I mean, there was no time to mourn over Carley because she died suddenly.
The whole Kaatja / Duck scene was build up slowly until it reached to a climax. That was pretty intense. I was prepared to lose Duck, but Kaatja - I didn't expect to lose her the way I did. It was very upsetting, hence, she gets my vote.
As deeply sad as this game has made me on occasion, it hasn't made me cry yet, which I find kinda odd considering I bawled when Max died (not when they stole his brain). Someone really needed to knock Lilly on her butt, though.
Carley's death is the most shocking. I knew that she and Lee will make a good couple but thanks to Lily we'll never see any more Lee and Carley moments. But I thinks this how things are in the world of The Walking Dead.
A lot of the characters have died already, but Carley's death just broke my damn heart!
yes, mine too..... telltale! let me mourn! let me regret! please so i can move past it and keep going! crippled by emotional pain i am no longer able to play the game without feeling like i am the walking dead on the inside.

Honestly...Carley...Carley should have reserved her words. I KNEW Lilly was a mental, ticking time bomb ever since Lee had found those opiates. Carley just pushed it way too far, so I braced myself for that. I was shocked, though.
Duck....oh man. I literally cried. I support and love the whole Kenny family, and seeing a father cry over his dead wife / mother of their son...that...that got me good.
I got very teary at the end of episode 3 when Clementine drew the picture of his family. I lost it.
for me carley's demise was sudden, unexpected and i wtf'd with shock not much emotion felt a bit angry maybe lol#
but duck you see it coming, you know someones got to do it, you see the termoil of the group to what has to be done, kenny and katjaa's reasonings strike it home.
then you see duck laying there slowly dying looking like shit then you have the choice do it yourself or make kenny do it..
When Carley got shot, I paused the game, stumbled into my living room and babled something that made my cats look at me weird.
I broke down during the scene with Kenny bargaining with Kat after he stopped the train. Made me think of my own parents. I can't believe I managed do play the rest of the episode without stopping or pausing once. Cried when Kat and Ken took him into the woods and I had to explain everything to Clem. I was honest.
Like many others, I have to say Carley. Not to the extent of some players that are so furious they want to quit the game forever. I've been reading TWD for years, and I know that no one is safe already. It doesn't mean I don't get attached. I was attached to the character who... let's say 'departed'... in the 100th issue along with other characters that have died over the comics run so far. Hell, I am NOT looking forward to whenever Kirkman does decide to off Rick. I'm not sure I'll be able to continue the comic at that point, but I know it's coming and have kind of accepted it.
Regardless, I did have an emotional reaction at seeing it happen. I sat in stunned silence because I did not expect it to happen at all.
Frankly, I wish Carley hadn't died, but it was worth it. The emotional reaction I and many others had when Carley or Doug died means that Telltale did their job. They crafted characters that we care about so deeply that we are visibly shaken by their deaths.
Can't believe anyone is choosing Carley's death over Duck's.
Watching a kid like Duck slowly die in his mother's arms over a few scenes was so much worse than seeing Carley taken out by Lily. Carley's death was quite shocking, but watching Duck slowly turn grey and start wheezing was just gut-wrenching. Not to mention having to then kill him or have his father kill him.
I actually think there's something a bit wrong mentally with anyone who was more effected by Carley dying than Duck. Duck dying was seriously one of the saddest things i've ever seen in video games. Carley was a nice girl and all, but come on. Duck was a fun-loving, fairly simple, kid, who was running round playing Batman only an hour or so earlier.
Also, as for all these 'special bonds' and 'connections' with Carley. She fancied Doug until you let him die. She simply moved onto the only other eligible male in the group.

But hey,... Its just a game
She was soon to be a Madre...I apologize, my Spanish nature escapes me when i am besides myself.
Yes.
Happy Birthday to Yes, Happy Birthday to Yes...Happy Birthday dear Yes...
I bet that cow is dead, so it's appropriate to say R.I.P
That would be a good name. Just think of the possibilities.
yes, mine too..... telltale! let me mourn! let me regret! please so i can move past it and keep going! crippled by emotional pain i am no longer able to play the game without feeling like i am the walking dead on the inside.
indeed... and i will forever wonder and regret
What episode are you playing?
Duck....oh man. I literally cried. I support and love the whole Kenny family, and seeing a father cry over his dead wife / mother of their son...that...that got me good.
I got very teary at the end of episode 3 when Clementine drew the picture of his family. I lost it.
whats's next LarrysHeadeache, BensGuiltyConscience? lol
I was waiting for Katjaa and Duck usernames. I'm betting Carley is a Red Panda duplicate account.
too soon?
Its a death in Ep 3 :P
