    I agree, too bad she had to die.

    Didn't Lilly also have a gun?

    To be honest I couldn't really tell the difference between Lilly and Carley

    They were quite similar

    Only difference one had a dad and the other knew who you were

    Would Doug be as bad at batteries as Carley was? :)

    I probably still would have chosen Carley, but if everything was reversed i would lean more to Doug's side. It would be a heat of the moment decision, one i can never make beforehand.

    yeah, doug never had a passion for technology and he also hadn't had his coffee that day :)

    No. Well, yes. Maybe. Actually, I reasoned the opposite way than most people here it seems. I helped Doug because Carley had a gun, so I thought "She's armed, and a good shot, she can handle herself."
    I can't be the only one to have this kind of reasoning ? :eek:
    Guess I'm not pragmatic enough !

    I thought that so much, that I thought she would shoot Dougs walkers.

    Save doug! He's my bro!

    I saved Carley because we had more interactions with her. I couldn't even give Doug an energy bar. lol. Also, she helped Lee and Glenn at the motel. And Carley saved Lee more than Doug in episode 1. Also, I saved Carley because there wouldn't be many female characters if I saved Doug and I wanted to even it out. However, I do like Doug when I did another play through with him. They're both my favorite characters. But in the end, I would still pick Carley.

    Chose Doug the first time, but it was hard and had to pause. Almost went with Carley but I figured Doug's smarts might end up being more useful then Carley, to bad it wasn't really focused on much. If reversed I would choose Carley for sure, already was on the fence but if she was smarter then for sure. Question, in this scenario does Doug know your past this time?

    Most people saved her because she was pretty. Most people that said they saved her because she was a crack shot is lying. The crack shot thing was just a bonus.

    She's a female and possible romance option. I might as well say what every other guy won't.

    You really think all the outrage at Carley's death was because she was a crack shot? C'mon, now.

    It was a big thing for me. In all her lifetime(that we've seen) she never misses. Headshot, headshot, headshot, not a single bullet hit anything other than the head(she probably didn't shoot to kill Andy on purpose). That is pretty damn useful in a zombie apocalypse.

    I would have saved Doug in that case.

    Carley ended up saved in my playthrough only because she seemed more useful, and since she had a gun I was hoping maybe she could somehow save Doug after dealing with her own walker.

    xD if the roles were switched and doug was a reporter with a gun and carley was a nerd i would have killed doug because he didn't know what a battery was
  • edited December 2012
    I love both Doug and Carley, so I randomly choose who to save. It wouldn't really change anything if their personality were swapped!
  • edited December 2012
    Well, Carley only had a zombie on her ankle and could have at least stomped on it. If the places were reversed I'd have saved her (being grabbed by several).

    And he was still just as effective as Carley with a gun, proving she was useless :D

    Doug saved your life with a laser pointer once, Carley saved your life with a gun six (?) times. Doug even admits he's the useless one. :rolleyes:

    If Doug would've saved my and Clem's lives a number of times I would've saved him.


    But then again... Carley's a ho. And in our society we are teached that babies and hoes comes before men... The smart thing would obviously be to save the one with the gun but I don't know if I could've watched a young lady get ripped asunder by hungry ghouls.

    Carley's death scene seems more gruesome than Doug's, too. Doug gets pulled out the window then the walkers start devouring him. With Carley she tries to get back up but they yank her down by her hair before devouring her. :eek:

    I saved Carley the first time, and I think I'd save her again even if these things were different. I took almost as much time as the game allowed to make the decision, going back and forth between the two of them. And if I remember correctly, their skills never once popped into my head. I'm pretty sure I saved Carley because she's cute. Maybe if it had been Doug who knew my secret and showed me some sympathy, who said he didn't care about my past, and who came along to the motor inn and proved himself, I'd have saved him. But honestly, even with all that, I think I still would have saved Carley. Because she's cute, and for no other reason.

    Damn. That's cold.

    I was wondering that too. TellTale Games better not be surprised most people chose Carly over Doug. On one side you have the nerdy chubby boy you can't really talk to vs the good-shot cute chick you can have a conversation with and take with you on a rescue mission. Should anyone be surprised Carly was chosen most of the time? No contest.

    Me I actually chose Doug because he seemed to be in far greater trouble, but just saying someone said TTG must see how many people saved Doug and become discouraged they put in so much effort for two choices when most only see one. I say well that should've been obvious 9/10 people would save the hot useful girl with a personality over the lumpy quiet nerdy guy (though he ended up being pretty funny later on).

    I saved Carley caused she has a gun and is a sharp shooter, pretty sure that's why majority of the people saved her. If it was reverse though, I would've saved Doug.

    For me, on my first playthrough, I loved both personalities, Doug's slightly more, but felt inclined towards Carly because she was a great shot, she had a gun, and I felt I could trust her since she hadn't told anyone the truth about me. If Carly was a nerd on top of that, even with Doug being a good shot, I think I'd roll with Carly. I do love Doug, though. That shirt...gah.
