Episode 4- The tough choice

edited October 2012 in The Walking Dead
Yet another who will you choose to save moment- this time it is between Clem's mother and a grieving Kenny.

Lee has just met Clem's mother in Savannah, surviving the best she can moving from building to building scavenging what she can and living in the Marsh house. Clem's father was indeed bit and turned at the beginning of the series and her mother had to kill her own husband. Finally reunited in the streets of Savannah, a horde of walkers begin to close in on the group. Kenny starts to run past a car to rejoin the rest of the group only to be grabbed by a dead occupant of the car and cannot escape. Clem's mother had her back to a metal fence and was grabbed through the bars and held back. Walkers continue to close in, and there is only enough time to save one of them.

Kenny is the only one of the group who can pilot a boat in the rough Sea and get everyone to safety if only you could find a boat, while Clem's mother has survived all this time alone, you don't know what skills she has but shes made it this far right? Also it's Clem's mother, in which they just reunited.

What would you choose?

    Kenny is my brother, I will not let him die.
    Sorry Clem.

    I'm pretty sure the choice will be way harder then that and the whole getting grabbed by walkers was done in episode 1 a lot so I doubt we will see it a lot more. I also really really doubt Kenny wouldn't be able to handle ONE walker that grabbed him through a car. Kenny is one of the people in the group who knows how to handle walkers.

    Majority will probably vote kenny because this poll is quite biased. You have a person whom you know on one side and person whom you just met (or won't meet at all ^^)
    Even if you do not like Kenny, you most likely will save him because you know who he is and what he can do, while Clem's mom can be an unstable surprise box, which has a chance of huge explosion after seeing her girl with a black guy traveling for long time ^^

    Kenny is my boy! I won't let him die

    Clem's mother definitely! How do you think Clementine could ever forgive Lee if she knew that he let her mother die,that relationship would be poisoned for ever.
    If the situation was Clem choosing between her own mother and Lee then it's: thanks and bye-bye Lee,Ill miss you.

    its not because of Clem, i know its because you hate Kenny and you are Team Lilly :mad: lol

    right now i would save Kenny, but if there were some tearjerker reunion scene between Clementine and her mum and her mum just turned out to be basically an angel that could also kick some ass then i would probably choose Clementines mum

    It's true I have my issues with Kenny but I don't want him dead,gone but not dead,I promise :)

    I'd do the same if it was someone else Clem's happiness and safety is my Lee's priority. Clem would want her mother alive even if it cost another group members life(even Lee's).

    This exactly- I'm team Kenny but right now he has nothing left in his life. He may end up being on the road to suicide soon- hes got no drive left. However Clem and her mom will have all the drive in the world after being reunited.

    I'm probably pick Kenny. He's my friend, and I have no idea what Clem's mom brings to the table. Kenny's had my back since the beginning, while Clem's mom would never let me see Clem again, and depending on my choices she could blow up on me because of some of the things Clem saw. Since we know far more about Kenny than Clem's mom, the poll doesn't seem fair. If she could handle herself in a fight though, I think I'd let Kenny be with his family again. Poor man doesn't deserve to go on without them forever, given how much he gave up to try and save them.

    would it be worth the effort to transport his body all the way back to macon just so they could be together;)

    Of course not! His family is in a clearing next to the train tracks, I'd take him there. :P

    I don't know Clems mum so I have to say my bro Kenny. He's saved my life several times, time to return the favour.

    Well then, I'd choose Clem's mom. If Clem was the only one watching me, however, I'd choose Kenny. I wouldn't want the whole group to rat me out for not saving her mom.

    You see I don't think that. I think the man who has been watching my daughter for all these months, keeping her fed, clothed, and safe in the apocalypse would get major points bringing me my daughter back safe and sound. And well because in the situation I brought up, Clem's dad is dead. Perhaps Lee CAN be Clem's new daddy.

    yeah who cares if Lee and Clementine's mum like each other, they have to stay together for the child :p

    Me and Ken have too much bad blood between us so "hey Clem's mom, How you Doin?"

    lol well maybe they won't be 'together' but at least travel together. Lee could be one of the few people left in the world that she trusts to protect her daughter

    I'm not so sure. While the mom will be ecstatic that we saved her daughter, what about the things we've been teaching Clem? That it's ok to steal, and to kill, and the things she's seen because of us? Plus, Lee was a murderer before the walkers. In all likelihood, if Clem told walkie guy about that, and he has her parents, its reasonable to suspect that her mom knows Lee killed a man before, and Larry/Danny/Andy depending on the player's choices. Plus the whole stealing from the car bit. Her reaction, I think, would be...mixed at the least.

    You make a valid point! Perhaps this may very well be one of the factors that our choices have made through our time playing TWD that finally gives us our "tailored" experience. Of course I don't know what TTG has in store for us- but this would be a good example if they did use this type of idea.

    but unless we get something from making her mum not like us, there would be the best set of choices, and i think they are trying to avoid that

    While I think that this is a tough choice, I don't think the "big" decision in episode 4 will determine saving someone's life. One of the developers had said that the decision won't harm anyone, and it's a "no-win" situation.
  • edited October 2012
    Sorry Clem, your mom's your mom, but Kenny's my bro and my Lee has always been about protecting the group above everything else.

    I also heard it was very "subtle", from somewhere. That has me more intrigued than anything else.

    Nothing in the walking dead has been subtle. That is interesting.

    Clem's mom. Kenny has no family left, while Clem and her mom can be reunited.

    Also, do people really think that Kenny, a family man, would want to live if it meant depriving a little girl of her mother? For the people who would pick Kenny, just how cowardly do you think he is? Have some respect for him and give him credit for wanting to save a family instead of himself.
  • edited October 2012
    I would choose Clems mother because as i've stated before, Kenny has nothing to live for.
  • edited October 2012
    Seeing as Kenny is drinking alcohol at this point he is practically dead weight to the group so I'd choose Clemintine's mother as she actually has Clemintine and thus a reason to live, unless there's room to speculate that the death of her husband made her think that it would be best if herself and Clemintine committed suicide to be with her husband, but that is stretching it albeit too far.

    I wonder who the fuck choose the "Neither - silent" option
  • edited October 2012
    You'll probably have to make a choice between Kenny and omid/christa, or worse you will have to choose Ben over some random person you don't know (Poor ben, in that case :()
  • edited October 2012
    Kenny is a broken former shadow of himself. He has nothing to lose anymore so he can get real suicidal... I promised to help Clementine to find her parents, and I will keep that.

    I put the option in the poll because there will always be that one troll who says "I want the silent option in the poll! This poll is biased!" Let the trolls troll. :rolleyes:

    Exactly my thoughts Indigo. It looks like what it comes down to is, no matter what side you were on, team Kenny or team Lilly. It all comes down to saving the guy who has had (or did not have) your back the whole game and has lost his family, or saving a stranger, not knowing what kind of person she is now after the apocalypse, and risk her being a danger to the group, or perhaps her being the greatest asset you could imagine.

    The poll results are pretty even which is very interesting to me

    Why do you choose silence if you don't mind me asking?

    I'd love to save Kenny, and if his family was still alive, I would! But, I don't want Clementine to witness the death of her own mother. So if something like that happens, I'd save Clementine's mother, because I think Kenny has just gone through too much.


    Poor guy lost his family in the last episode, and if Clementine's mother is a nice woman, I'll be saving her. I'm more attached to Clem than to Kenny.

    Clem's mom, if for no other reason than she's a doctor according to Clem in Ep. 1.

    As the saying went in the Army, you don't mess with the people who feed you, fix you, or pay you; the third one doesn't matter anymore and I can take care of the first on my own. However, the only person we had that was at all able to do the second was Katjaa and well...

    Seriously.. It's not that hard to drive a boat.
