    If you bring Clem to Crawford is it possible to shoot that walker that Molly is fighting off? In always to slow or I miss.

    I dont think it is possible for you to shoot the walker, it probally is made that way to progress clem into vital team player or something along that line. But what if you made clem stay at the house who then shoots the walker?

    It's possible to shoot that walker on your own without Clem, it's just not easy.

    I don't think Vernon took Clem. I think Vernon moved his group cause when they were on top of the Bell Tower he mentioned something about arriving in train. I think the gigantic herd has finally shown up in Savannah. As for playing as Clem in the future. Gary Whitta said they can't flash forward more than 2 years because in the comics Robert Kirkman hasn't established what the Walking Dead world looks like.

    No offense, but a lot of these poll options aren't really that helpful and just plain silly. Is there really a difference between "really, really bad" and "rather bad". The case is still the same; someone thinks the game is just plain bad and the smallest distiniction really wouldn't make a difference for someone who wants to know the true value of the game's content. No one will buy the game if it's either of those options, so if you just combined both ratings, it would make the poll a lot more organized and representative of the fan reactions.

    Same thing with "an excellent experience" and "worthy of the episode hall of fame"; both mean the game is amazing. I never really understood 10 point rating scales because there comes a point where certain numbers should just be chucked together like 1, 2, 3, and 4; all represent bad games, 5, 6, and 7 represent average to good, 8 is great, and 9 and 10 are amazing. That's a rough idea, but less ratings would be better than 10 with most of them representing the same quality. Just a thought and I mean no offense.

    You can't. Even if you click on the cardboard panel, the zombie will still bite you, either way.

    I am exausted after this episode mentally. I choose things as I would in real like and everything turns like crap. That's what I find the best, the fact that doing your "morally reasonable" choices at the end of the episode looks more like you fucked things up rather than fixed them. Also situations with little time to respond makes you choose things you woudn't, and living with it in the gameplay it's even better, because you have to live with the choices you made, being they good or not.

    Just wondering, for those of you that had Kenny go with you, did you kill Larry or not?

    Oh and since my brother started his save data, which was on the same account on my save data, and immediately it got corrupt, I guess I'll have to restart my game. Oh well, I'll definitely be seeing this from a different perspective.

    Anyone else shot molly when walkers came? I felt so bad because i pressed R1 by accident with the weapon right on her head. Luck in the cutscene it got on her shoulder or whatever, but i continued feeling terrible. As I "live with my mistakes" in the playthrough it's another one to my account of errors.

    Also there was blood on clems hat after the bite scene.
    But we also stomped on the walkers head so couldn't it be the walkers blood too? God I hope so!

    Like I previously said I dont think Lee had the aw man moment because her hat got dirty from the blood being his or the walkers so I would assume it is Lee's but I only played once thus far,
    But I guess only Gary Whitta would know this for sure, maybe he will chime in on this.

    That could be plausible, but I did hear the sound of it's teeth digging into Lee's wrist. I doubt it was a dry bite.
    Lee can only be saved by amputation and even that would have been left to late by now and that doesn't always work any way. The infection from the bite has to be caught in time like it was for Rick and Dale in the comics or it will spread as it did for Morgan and Allen. Hopefully Christa will take over as care taker for Clementine and Lee can part from Clementine on good terms. She was upset with Lee when I last played because I told her we didn't have time to look for her parents. The last time he saw her she had her back to him and was crying because of what he said.

    Me too. I think I'm gonna replay the last chapter and lie to her so at least she is happy.

    Likewise. The episode was good but wasn't my favourite. I didn't like the fact that we never got another opportunity to ask Clem about the conversations she had with the man on the radio after her first explanation was interrupted and I didn't like the fact that no one mentioned Chuck or asked if i'd seen him. I didn't even get an option to tell the group I found Chuck dead on my way to meeting the doctor when introducing the doctor to Christa.

    I think chuck was written off as dead by almost anyone who played episode 4 he was left surrounded on the street by walkers and I am at least surprised to see he made it into the sewers. I liked Chuck he was like the realist of the group and knew of his and everyones eventual demise and didn't candy coat his thoughts and and advice to anyone. But yes some interaction with the group of his demise would have been nice I agree

    Who went with you into the next episode?

    I had Christa/Omid. I wish I could have Kenny too, I want to have as many people as I can because Lee is going to turn. I was pro-Lilly until she killed Carley, and I cussed Kenny every chance I got. After that I only took Kenny's side when I actually agreed with him. I let Ben go because I thought that would bring Kenny around again but obviously it didn't.

    I CAN'T WAIT FOR EPISODE 5!! It's obvious the ending will be tragic though...
    I took Christa, Omid and gave Ben a last chance to prove himself and make up for his mistakes. When I chose to save him I had forgotten about the conversations I had with him in ep3 and that he was responsible for Carley's death. I'm gonna definitely let go of his hand on my next play through and let him die.

    Kenny is by himself now with the boat that Clementine found and is referring to the boat as his. I hope his boat sinks or he drifts to a place like dead island.
  • edited October 2012
    Maybe Kenny will make a cameo on Dead Island 2 when it comes out...:D

    Very glad to see that people seem to like this episode! Maybe now I can finally get a good night's sleep :)

    The choices in this episode were pretty agonizing. I was lost between what to choose, which would be more morally correct, what would happen if I chose this or that, which would be better.
    I was so angry at Ben when he said that Katjaa and Duck's deaths were his fault twice and never mentioned Carley (Doug if he's on your playthrough). I'll hope for a Carley or Doug reference in Episode 5. I got extremely mad at Ben in lots of instances. I think this episode really did great at fueling your anger for Ben to make the big decision near the end all the more powerful.
    Honestly, this episode was fantastic. At first I didn't like the new girl, nor did I like her half way through the ep much, but by the end I thought she was pretty alright. I liked her, and liked the rest of the cast. This episode also made me like Christa a bit, and it's great that Omid stuck around and is better. I was so sad when I saw Chuck in the sewer though, my god. I knew he wasn't gonna make it. ):
    Being pro-Kenny, he's going with me along with Christa and Omid to save Clementine. I didn't have his back a few times though, and even those choices mattered as he told me that sometimes I didn't have his back! Amazing.
    I let Ben die because he's the reason Carley died, and I never felt any sympathy for him at all. However, when it came to the moment where I either saved him or let him die, I was actually shocked. I shocked myself, because I've always hated Ben SO much and always have gone about how much I wanted him to die in ep 4, and yet at that moment I panicked so much and didn't know whether I should let him stay or not. In the end though, I let him die. Because I'll always be upset about how my favorite character died because of him. But I made a separate copy in which I saved Ben just to see the differences, though he refused to go with me to save Clementine because I was always just the biggest ass to him, which is understandable.
    I started crying when Lee got bitten. I just couldn't believe it, and I love Lee so much as a character. He's my favorite protagonist out of all of the games that I have played, and it was so fast and sudden. Now I can see why episode 5 is named "No Time Left". ):
    My favorite episode is still episode 1, but episode 4 was really great! Even if the new TWD ep became your new favorite episode or not, no TWD episode disappoints!
    Did Kenny come with you because you helped him kill Larry? That seems to be the only decision in the game that can get you back in his good graces, where as with Lilly helping her with Larry makes her forgive you for every time you sided against her.

    When I played I sided with him over the first 2 episodes apart from 2 occaissions, when I said the group needs leadership and when I helped Lilly in the meat locker.

    Kenny is hard to please and in my view not worth the hassle. some of his choices are just brutal and bordering the Govornor's way of thinking. Like when he tells you not to put the girl out of her misery in ep 3 so her screams can draw out the other walkers. Even though I left her on one of my playthroughs it wasn't for that reason it was because I didn't think I could make the shot and didn't want to risk giving away our position.

    Kenny wanted to leave Lilly at the motor inn before she killed Carly and was generally selfish. When I told his wife about Lee's past she had a better attitude to it than Kenny. Kenny said Lee wouldn't get a lift on his boat because of his past despite Lee saving his wife and son countless times. What was funny was that he actually looked surprised when I told him to go fuck himself in episode 4. For a second I wondered if I misunderstood him and reacted rash based on his responding facial expression.

    About the bite. Think of Dale in the comic ;)
    The infection in Lee's wrist is to far gone. Think Allen and Morgan in the comics. Also, unlike Rick Lee doesn't know amputation can save you from bites.

    Telltale wanted a sad ending. They could only go 2 ways, something happening to Clem or something happening to Lee. I think Lee's death scene will be like the scene in ep 1 when Lee has to kill his reanimated brother but more moving because we have been following the character from the beginning.

    its all clems fault in my opinion. she got me fucking bit.

    I don't know why but I saved Ben even after all the shit he put us through. I really liked Molly too. She was pretty cool. A little cooler than Carley and I hope she comes back for the 5th episode and it looks like that herd finally caught up. But goddamnit. I can't believe Lee got bit. I'm seriously torn up about it. I hope he finds Clem and gets her on the boat with Kenny , Omid , Christa and Ben. I have all of them sans Ben coming with me for the next episode. But once again. Poor Lee and Chuck too. Goddamnit this episode was so sad! The ending hit me like a brick.
    I hope they don't go for a dawn of the dead ending. In that movie the guy got bitten on his wrist and choose to stay back whilst the other survivors boarded the boat and left him.
  • edited October 2012
    Just finished the episode and another sad turn of events. One more left, I knew Lee wasn't going to make it ever since the beginning but it still wasn't any easier to see him get the bite. Maybe he can still live on, I have never played a game where I was this emotionally attached. I'm left with Kenny, Omid, and Krista. Maybe it will work out.......
  • edited October 2012
    Why are you reading this thread if you haven't finished? Finish!

    As for the ep...holy god, that ending. Those choices. I was shaking by the end. I dropped Ben because he begged me to. I told Clem the truth and made her cry. I made Kenny kill the kid in the attack. These choices were killing me.

    I'm curious, did anyone leave Clem behind with Omid? If you do that, does Molly die if you don't fire quick enough?

    HAD to create an account, this game is too amazing not too discuss, and i have to know..

    Is there a way to save Molly?!?!?! I left clem at the house...:confused:

    according to others you will have to be quick enough to shoot the zombie I brought clem with me and she shot the zombie.
    But as others have said be careful because you can hit molly as well.
    My next playthrough I am going to leve clem with ovid

    Question: Did anyone pull Ben up, i wanted to know how the story if you saved him though Ben & Kenny said to let him go.

    SN: Why did Ben scream Lee help, if he just told Lee to let him go?
    I was confused lol

    I was wondering the same thing about why we didn't tell the group about Chuck.

    I did and I think that's why Kenny didn't side with me at the end. I've been on his side pretty much the whole game.
  • edited October 2012
    Episode 4 and Episode 2 are probably the best episodes with Episode 2 edging out just abit due to the scenario and writing. Some parts of Ep4 were tone deaf and I didn't like some of Lees dialogue in this one. Episode 1 would take 3rd place and Ep3 being the worst structurally and narrative wise.
