A lot of the characters have died already, but Carley's death just broke my damn heart!
I think it was because she was always so trusting in you and when she started to show romance between her and Lee it really was going somewhere. I really liked Carley as a character, there was something about her that really made her special
Chuck's death made me the most emotional. From the point you find him dead in the sewers up until the end, simply because he's not mentioned once. He was such a cool guy. Poor magical hobo. He deserved better.
Larry. I'm one of the few that didn't want to bash his head in, but I did in the end...and I realized Dale was right in the comics and TV show. The group is losing their humanity. That this shit wasn't supposed to be messed around with.
Carly's death to me was most emotional, followed by Duck. Carly should not have been shot, that was the worst thing to do based upon a "hunch" which turned out to be wrong by Lilly anyway! She overreacted and let emotions play out over reason.
Duck and his mom was just as sad due to the impact of both dying....Katjaa was Kenny's life, as well as his boy. Losing both in the same day...
As far as "emotional" I actually have to say Shaun Greene.
There isn't as much time to form a connection with him or get to know him, but he is the one character that you pretty much have to hear scream "help me" while he's dying and you can't really do anything--that tore me up.
Even Duck, while that was horrible, just sat there.
What actually made me "lose it" wasn't a death though. It was when Lee got bit. I actually dropped the controller and just stared at the screen in complete shock with that. The choices I had to make immediately afterward almost didn't register. I had to tell myself, "OK. Time to press buttons now." Pathetic.
Totally shouldn't have included Carley in the poll. To too many players Carley was the closest thing that they'd ever had to a girlfriend. The boards were overflowing with irrational "bring her back to life", "give us the chance to save her" and who could forget the ever so pathetic "maybe she survived the shot".
Duck had to be the worst for me. Katjaa was bad but I can't hold all sympathy for someone who kills themself, especially if it's the only way to make Kennys unbelievably horrific day even worse. I never had a reason to dislike Duck, he got on well with Clem, he thought I was awesome, it's sad to see that his death was at the hands of full-grown men. Those being the bandits and Ben (who technically isn't full-grown). His parents had to experience suffering through a much slower deterioration than most people should have to witness. And yet they tried every desperate thing that they could.
I felt Kenny had lost some marbles with the way he behaved during Ep.2 but he didn't deserve any pain as close to that.
Going the non mainstream emotion of shock or sadness and going with anger/frustration.
The obvious choice that comes to mind is the St John brothers. Man when I was punching andy in the face over and over again, I could just feel lee's anger and my anger rising, letting out all our frustrations at how this had turned out. And oh the storm just made it so much better. It took all of my will power to leave those two alive.
I think it all depends on what you can relate to...
Episode 4...I know he was dead already, but digging up the dog was very uncomfortable for me. I really, really hoped I didn't have to do anything else to get the collar I looked away a lot. I lost my 14 year old dog this year, so that was very sad for me. I was even angry that they didn't bury the dog..
Then you go in the house and see how close this family was to their dog, the boy's love for his dog made me think of my love for my dog.
Seeing the boy was very horrible. When you learn about Crawford, I honestly assumed the parents left him for that place. I know thats not necessarily the case you don't really learn what happened to the parents...but that's what I felt so I got angry. I thought the parents left the boy with the dog. The boy ran out of food, the dog died so the boy did his best to bury the dog...I mean, the hole really wasn't all that deep. It made me think the kid must have done it.
What made me bawl like a baby was learning why you don't bury the dog...you bury the boy with the dog. And with each time you put more dirt on their bodies, the more emotional I got. I kept looking at the bodies, and it made me miss my dog so much. Because those two were best buds you knew that, and now they were together again.
With Mark, I was in a state of trauma for about two months xD It was all I could talk about, and every time someone mentioned "cannibal" (which is a lot in my college) I would put my hands over my ears and go "Ahhh, cannibals "
And with Ben... my heart died. I was really, REALLY sad, then I was just... empty. I cried a lot.
Andy, if you just left him there, actually kinda hit home. I mean, we just killed his entire family and ruined his home, stripped away everything he owned and mashed his face up to boot. I've never seen a man so broken.
I blubbered and cried a little when Carley and Lilly went out at the same time (I left her on the side of the road since she had lost her sanity). Those two are/were my favorite characters, and losing them both at once was tough.
I did the same when Ben died. Poor kid, even though I hated him at first, I grew attached to him.
Those two are/were my favorite characters, and losing them both at once was tough.
I feel the same because I trusted Lilly all the way. That's just sad, seeing my two favorite characters gone. I sure do hope Lilly will appear in season 2
Duck's death was the most emotional, in my opinion.
Carley's death was shocking, but it wasn't as depressing as watching Duck slowly begin to die while both Katjaa and Kenny were being torn apart by grief. The fact that Duck was just a kid, and his parent's were in the group, made his death far more emotional than Carley's. By the time Katjaa had committed suicide and I had Lee do the deed for Kenny, tears were flowing.
Only one game before had ever made me cry, and that was the end of Silent Hill 2. The Walking Dead got me twice. (Duck's death, and Lee's death)
Carley. I'd genuinely developed feelings for that girl, she had my back the whole time, she forced me to admit the wrong doings in my past to the rest of the group, I immediately went to her aid at the drugstore (and instantly lied saying that I was intending to save them both) I couldn't fucking believe when she died. Lilly had to go, no hesitation... I never even brought it up after with the others outside the train. They knew, we all knew. I tried my best to help Lilly, I really did, despite her asshole dad having decked me. But she killed Carley, and because of that, she had to go. Goddamn this fucking game has really affected me. Haha
Andy, if you just left him there, actually kinda hit home. I mean, we just killed his entire family and ruined his home, stripped away everything he owned and mashed his face up to boot. I've never seen a man so broken.
I'm sorry man, but that guy was a cannibal. I beat the shit out of him, but I let him live, never trusted him from the moment I laid eyes on him, he had a George Bush Jr. thing going on for himself. I gave him a fate worse than death, reflection... but to be honest, it was really the transference of anger, residual self hatred, having failed to stop Clem from eating, The Meat.
Am I the only one that thought Lee's death was sad? Just how him and Clementine were talking, the fact that she needs to do everything on her own now. I teared up
-Duck. God damn it! That damn walker just HAD to be there. Thank god Lee shot it.
-Carley/Doug. Mostly just went "What the fuck did she do? >:L)
-Kat. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
-Ben. Damn kid. Hated him because he kiled my family, but after I heard his story, there was nothing to do but apologize.
-Larry. TROOLLOLOOLOLOLLOOLLOOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO
Duck's, because it was so slow and painful, watching his parents suffer, and little mister bright-eyed and bushy-tailed was just lying there all wheezy and gray in his mommy's arms... and I...
*lip wobble* Dammit! It's not fair! He was supposed to grow up and mature and become a cool guy like his dad and marry Clemmy!

That is one of the most disrespectful things I've ever read in my life. Is it so unbelievable that so many people liked her and her death invoked those reactions simply because they thought she was a good character.

Most of these replies were before the last episode was released I think. Lee's death was the saddest for me, never cried over a video game until the death of Lee.
*SPOILER* Why is Lee not here? The only death that really made me cry was his. Carley's death just made me want to torture Lilly, and Duck's wasn't too bad. But it made me so sad that Kaatja killed herself.
If Lee was on the list, definitely Lee. The entire scene was intense and a tear jerker. In the meantime, Carley had the most effect on me because she's my favourite character in the group. It was sudden and shocking and it effectively squashed the possibility of a brighter future. It served as a reminder of the brutal TWD world after the writers set the player up for disappointment with a romance arc that suggested a brighter future was possible. This is probably why so many are upset. I definitely felt things were a lot more dark after Carley.
(Just felt like copying instead of quoting so I did)
A lot of the characters have died already, but Carley's death just broke my damn heart!
When Carly died I shouted at my monitor. It was depressing.

Me too, f that soab lilly. I immediately said (f you soab lilly and wanted options to you know kill her?) it was also shocking and depressing. i didnt play for days and thought about that scene until now o.0
The death of Lee gave me swollen eyes... Especially since Clemetine was alone after that and you could tell the ending of the game was near.
Beautiful ending, beautiful death.
So yeah, Lee's death was the 'best' in my opinion.
I dont think her as dead. the bullet went in her jaw/cheek. So what?
You cant die instantly. I bet the group could patch her up.
Carley's death was the one that made my jaw drop. and like what the first post said, break my heart? She had a great personality, good looks, etc. What a great character. She needs to be recognized more. (I don't think she's overrated, cus she deserves recognition for saving her life, and for being a great person)

I totally spazzed out when she suddenly was like 'grrrnananrn' XD

Everyone who picked Doug/Carley is talking about when they got shot by Lilly right?
Because technically, Doug/Carley got killed twice. The first death being the death of the one you didn't pick.
