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.

Carley's death was shocking and inspired anger directed at Lilly and her dead became secondary to dealing with Lilly. It was too abrupt to inspire grief over the death itself.

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.

I saved Carley, was fond of her and I agree with you 100%.

WTF?!?! Can you substantiate this?
Why everybody assumes that a childs death is always worse than an adult's is a complete mystery to me. It's still a question of sympathy. Yes, Duck's death is sad and remarkable for a video game, but I felt a lot closer to Carley.
If you thought Duck's death was worse than Carley's thats fine with me. But there are no objective reasons to favor one character over another, so stop psychologizing people like me.
Kaatja. I appreciated her neat accent, kind personality and her intelligence. Also her suicide was depressing to think about; like, not even being with her husband (of at least 10 years) was enough reason to live. Sadface.

Carley's was more shocking than anything, while Duck's was just sad. Especially the way Kenny kept looking for a way to help Duck, like a cure or something and the way he kept denying that Duck was going to die until the last moments. Even when he accepts that Duck is a goner, the way he argues for something more "peaceful" instead of shooting his son was just heartbreaking.
Duck's was indeed sad, but Doug hit me the hardest. He was trying to be the voice of reason, and keep the peace, and he ended up taking a bullet that wasn't meant for him. It was truly a heart-breaking way for him to go.
I think kenny's will. I think he'll die in at the end of 4 (more likely in 5 probably). It's like they're building a good friendship with him, going through all the highs and lows (or lows, and lowers), having more stuff in common with him/interacting with him the most (other than clem) etc. then they'll rip that friendship, and one of the last links to humanity/normality/sanity away from me. Then I'll be trying to look after clem, and carry on, but inside, I'll be screaming "we're all going to DIEEEEEe. There's no hope left!!" and feel like giving up.
I didn't really feel anything at carley's death. More just numb, and wtf just happened?
I chose Duck. The funniest thing is that for the longest time it seemed like everyone hated Duck. If you were like me you would think things like "Shut up Duck" or "Get out of the way Duck." But episode 3 made me realize that anyone can die in this game. It also endeared Duck to me in a way I did not think possible. Choosing to be totally awesome and not leave him hanging or having a ward like Batman really made me like having him around for once. The loss of Carley was bad but at least I could cope since I got rid of Lilly. I think seeing how sad Kenny was over loosing his family is what made this so emotional. Having made the choice to shoot Duck for him made me realize just how hard this loss would hit me. The prospect of losing Clementine in such a way made this loss the most jarring and saddening.
i was in shock with carley, came outta nowhere mid-sentence, I was upset and in a fucking rage with lilly, i left her, I still dont know if i made the right choice but i had to draw the line someplace. but very rare for a game to actually have emotional ties with characters, telltale games have done a fucking phenominal job on character creation.
Carley. Only because of the way it happened. Don't get me wrong it is amazing story telling but it's just bs that that is the way it had to happen. I expected nothing less of a bite to anyone or maybe shot by a bandit/stranger. But Carley's was just out of the blue. Unlike Duck and Katjaa, Carley's left me with a wtf as well as an aw shit.
i actually cared more about Lilly leaving than any of the deaths : p
but anyways, Duck's was easily the worst, you can see him slowly falling apart, the whole sequence was really sad
and then his mother dies right in front of him, then his father starts talking about shooting him in the head with him sitting right there
ugh...
after that Id say Doug, kinda sucked that he died the way he did
Kat after that
then Larry
after that I dont even care at all
Carley was just some dumb broad who didnt know how to kick a walker off her foot
You know despite what Lilly did to Carley or Doug I still wanted her along because she is strong and capable. Is she trustworthy? Yes to some degree. I mean she lost her damn mind and shot at someone. A mistake? A huge one yes but it wasn't because she didn't have a reason to. It was completely uncalled for and unforgivable but she did it with the right intentions. Because of that, she could be useful down the road. However, she steals the fucking RV so that made me look like a jackass by keeping her around lol.
i believe carleys death made most players(myself included) emotional because lee and carley were flirting and made it seem like a romance was going on, then that evil woman lily shoots her in the face in cold blood, pretty brutal if you ask me. i have to say on my other playthrough the doug death was also very emotional, he was a great assest to the group and gets executed in the back of the head saving stupid ben, ouch.

this 100%
The problem with Duck's death... is that it was the last in a string of character removals.
Had it been first, or by itself... entirely different situation.
So when I think about where Episode 3 went wrong, that's where my mind goes first.
Maybe it's a primacy thing.
I agree 100%
I saved Carley, was fond of her and I agree with you 100%.

I was shocked to see Carley get the bullet to the forehead but I didn't feel any kind of way about it.
Mark's death make me sad.
That's all.
Couldn't agree more.
I didn't really feel anything at carley's death. More just numb, and wtf just happened?
Sandra. Poor Sandra.

and btw, why is Shaun on the list, but not Mark?
hahah poor chet:( i wish there was an option to save that banjo playing hobo, by far one of the greatest\short lived characters in TWD
Chet lives if you leave during the day
there hasnt been a single banjo seen yet in the series, so dont know where thats from
wow i totally thought that said "chuck" my mistake mate
although i didn't see Carly's death coming, Kenny killing Larry caught me completely off guard
Go Doug.
only Doug he pulled Ben out the way. Carly was straight up got shot.
