I feel fulfilled!

edited September 2012 in The Walking Dead
All through this game, Duck has been annoying the hell out of me. I couldn't stand him. From magically starting the tractor and driving it onto Hershell's son (and us out of the farm) to not giving Clem enough time on the swing...and I could go on....he just got on my nerves.

Did anyone revel in the fact that we got to shoot Duck? Every time the dialog option came up, there was NO WAY I was letting anyone else shoot Duck. When I heard the shot coming from the woods, I thought "oh shit"....not because I thought one of the adults was hurt, but I figured they took away my moment of glory.

Now if only I could get rid of Kenny.....

    He's a kid, during a ZA... they're supposed to get on your nerves. I liked Duck, with everything going on around him, he was still trying to be "just a kid". Poor guy. I shot him, but only out of respect. I didn't want his parents to have to watch him die.

    I kind of started to like Duck after the motor inn bit. :D Robin, you will be missed. If you were this cool, from the beginning, I might have been quicker on the draw and you'd still be alive right now. :P

    I understand why you wouldn't want to blame him, but he caused a lot of stress in the group and didn't add anything of value. The same could be said for Clem, but she gives Lee purpose, so she's worth feeding and helps keep his humanity in check. Duck was loud, always hungry, and caused Kenny and Lilly to fight since Kenny was all about saving him....without him, we're a better group. If only we could get Lilly and Carly back, and ditch Kenny......

    [edit]Not to sound like I'm trolling, I'm actually interested in what other people thought here[/edit]

    Did anyone try to shoot duck in the arms and legs before shooting him in the head? It seems like we have unlimited ammo....so just wondering.

    I thought he was annoying in the first episode, sure, but not overwhelmingly so. Episode two he wasn't really involved in but in Episode 3 I thought he was so endearing that I had to like him. He is just a kid after all and, as Kenny admits to you, not the brightest.

    I've been watching a few Let's Play videos and what have you and I was quite surprised at how fast people pulled the trigger when given the chance.
    I hovered over him for a good minute or so until I finally did it. It was sad to see him like that. Even if he was just "that annoying kid".

    He'd be more like Jason Todd though if you know what i mean. Maybe there's a lazarus pit somewhere in Savannah to resurrect him lol

    I think I've learned my lesson in TWD. Whenever you even remotely start to like someone in the story, brace for their death.

    Maybe what happened to Duck was foreshadowing... like we could see another little kid slowly dying from a walker bite in the near-future....I wonder who it could be...

    She can't be bitten now, Lee has cut her hair! :D I think it will end with a choice....Lee dies, Clem lives. Or Clem dies, Lee lives.

    Every Kid is stubborn. Clem isn't because she's sad about her parents, And about everything she saw.
    Duck did see lots of people die, But he's like his father. Tough. HE CAN TAKE IT!

    Hate for Lilly all the way.

    CLEEEEEMMMMMM

    *Rips zombies face off*

    Honestly I felt really sad at Ducks death, I think I might miss his cheerfulness.

    Wow, he's just a kid, and not even THAT annoying. Believe me. I KNOW annoying kids.

    So...You're an asshole, OP.

    Duck grew on me during episode 3. I should have known better.

    That argument would work if this was a discussion about John Madden no longer participating in the Madden series(just kidding, nobody cares), but it's not. This is the kind of game where you grow "SOME" attachment to the characters.

    Regardless of that, my point still stands. You're an asshole. And I don't even like kids.

    Considering Duck gets grabbed repeatedly by zombies and covered in zombie guts and still manages to be excited and happy all day long, you have to admire his fortitude.

    I'm actually very unhappy about so many people taking pride in killing a child. Yes, it's just a video game, but still. Yes, Duck was a bit annoying, but again that's because he was a child! He was a strong, happy child despite the situation he had been in

    Clem isn't annoying, and she's a child. What you would call a strong and happy child, I call a simpleton with no value to the group. I can't see him growing up to be a survivor precisely for that reason. So, giving him food and supplies and having the adults risk their lives for him is not assisting the group. In real life, yeah, it would suck to have to decide who lives and dies based on their value to the group. In a video game....not so much.

    But no matter what, the lives of the group need to come first and if I had the option, I would have booted Kenny long ago. He takes stupid risks for his family, but for no one else. Katjaa had use, she had medical knowledge supposedly, although sitting next to a cow and telling you the teacher has died doesn't really prove it, we have to assume there are other situations where she was useful. Did that knowledge outweigh Kenny getting us kicked off the farm and causing so much stress within the group? That is the hard call for me, not reducing the mouths to feed by one useless child.....

    Really? It's just so damn predictable. I don't believe that Telltale would end the game with something like that.
    Come on, everyone would have seen it coming since ep1.

    Lesson: TellTale makes a hated character less annoying or likable, there gonna die.

    I think the detective scene were to remind you that Duck was only a child, like any other. Playful and full of imagination. Like nothing ever happened. I think he was "hope of returning to how it was before" and "hope of returning to how it was before" got shot in the head in that forest right after his mother.

    Duck was nr 2 on my kill list, just under Larry, and I already got rid of Larry so of cause I had to kill duck to :)

    Duck was definitely growing on me as the story progressed -- he seemed annoying and one-dimensional in episode 1, but we saw more of a genuine personality in episode 2 and especially in the beginning of 3. The TWD universe is often cruel.
