Is Lee's death/zombification inevitable?
This is probably a stupid question since nobody in the Walking Dead universe has survived a walker bite but just curious. Is there no way he can just chop off his hand or does the bite spread very quickly? I just don't want him to die because he seems like the only one who can take care of Clementine and it would seem weird for someone like Kenny to do it. Unless her parents are alive, which I doubt.
Also, how come he wasn't already feeling ill after the bite? Duck started feeling down right after they left the motor inn on the RV while Lee was able to talk normally and make the trip to the morgue to find Clementine.
So yeah, is he hopeless or is there a slim chance the devs will defile the lore and get him cured?

Don't get me wrong, I love Lee as a character, and I'd love to see him survive. But Telltale made a choice when he got bitten. There's no turning back...Or at least, there shouldn't be.
EDIT: I figured the second Season would focus on a different group of Survivors, Juicy.
Telltale is keeping trailers and spoilers closed, so it could go either way, they might let Lee not be bit and it was just a scratch from the plywood that was there, or they could let it be as most think a bite and he will die after he of course has saved Clem who will go with Kenny, Christa and Omid
Which could be seen as justice, he killed someone before the outbreak and now he will "pay" that life back.
But in my opinion Telltale shoots themselves in the foot with that.
I dont get it and for me it will ruin the game, if i wanted to have a bad ending, i would just watch real life.
They are probably going to replace the group and have you be someone else.
Stupid idea and who ever thought that one up should just bite himself and turn into a zombie
Too bad, it's the apocalypse. Not everything goes your way.
That's an...Awfully odd-shaped Plywood scratch. You know, in several places.
How exactly would that go? Lee just kinda hangs around and waits to turn, and then eventually thinks "Huh, maybe it was just the plywood. Hey guys, wait up."
Its a game not a real apocalypse
And in a game the good guys usually wins.
Ya, well its either that or he is immune.
it could also just be a dream, he wakes up sitting in the house and next to him his clem sleeping sound.
Like the one in ep.3 but talk about corny.
Well in the apocalypse you don't win. This is a more a realistic portrayal of an apocalypse and "winning" isn't realistic.
"In the end, the dead always win".
The shock would be killing Clem, not Lee. Then people would say that all the effort they put into raising Clem went to waste.
I liked Lee.The things he have done for Clem,for the group,even for the people he doesn't like(try to save Larry etc.) He was a great character.But not everyone is invincible.We should have seen this coming.There's no happy ending in this apocalypse.
In ep.5 he has one mission only.He'll save Clem , make sure she has somebody to take care of her,and then die peacefully by killing himself or shot by someone from the group.I think it will be heroic enough...
Wrong franchise, i'm sorry you expected a good ending man
Read afew chapters of the walking dead comic, It isn't leading up to a good ending.
My request?
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASSSSEEEEEEEEE let the violin music play for most of the game????? The music that plays during the sad and melancholic scenes, like after Molly departs. I can't get enough of that music because of how fitting it is.
Then it would just feel like a cheap gimmick to be 'edgy' and 'dark'. But that said, bring on episode 5.
I hope you're not referring to who I think you're referring to...
Telltale will never have us play as Rick or Glenn. That storyline is for the comics and the TV series. They are handling original characters.
Wrong franchise my ...
The only problem is gaming developers thinking grimdark/depressing endings are totally cool, artistic, creative and hipster. Just have a look at Mass Effect 3 how great their fabulous grimdark red/blue/green slap to the face ending turned out to be.
Don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem with Lee dieing when his death is for a good cause, such as getting the choice to sacrifice himself for Clementine. But since they decided to railroad Lee to death, just like they did with Carley, his inevitable death is just frustrating, lame and boring. This isn't a graphic novel or a movie, this is a computer game after all! Make it interactive, not passive! If The Walking Rollercoaster was a bad game, I wouldn't bother complaining but since it isn't, it's just a shame they dump Lee just like that.
Intelligent storywriting in computer games is creating depression without frustrating players, instead of just smashing everyone with the pain train they could left the choice of survival or sacrifice to the player. Instead, they sentenced him to death for no reason. This is the Mass Effect-Effect: Knowing your protagonist is going to die no matter what you do just kills off any potential replay value this game ever has. What's the point in playing Episode 5, since Lee's going to end up dead, anyway?
His being bitten will probably take out a bit of the dilemma with sacrificing himself for Clementine - since he's dead anyway. But then again - for me at least - that's not really a dilemma at all.
Come to think of it - maybe it comes down to sacrificing himself for either Clementine or the group - or Clementine's parent(s) or the group.
I was honestly more attached to Molly than I was to Lee. I want her to teach me that CQC shit.
I'll wager that Lee is going to die and Clem shoots him in the head. Prediction for Episode 5. Any takers?
Besides, Clem deserts Lee and runs off with whoever. C'est la guerre.
Also, I think Lee was bitten in order to open up new possibilities for the second season. I think we'll be playing as Clem, maybe a few years older and wiser than she is now, and her struggled to survive without Lee to look after her. If any of the other characters from this game are in it too I don't know, we'll see how many of them survive episode 5, but I think Clem will become our main protagonist.
then the only interesting new character leaves
Perhaps she used the walkie-talkie, but she wouldn't leave her hat behind!
Yes but you must think the classic walking dead thing to do would be to kill people you care about around you. NOT YOU. I seriously thought they would kill clem before me just to put that emotion inside you to carry on.
And to the poster that commented on how developers make their games end the way they want to.....that is why they write the story. Not every ending in games and books end on a happy note. I myself enjoy endings like this from time to time, it gets old always having the happy-happy, joy-joy ending all the time.
Anyways, I don't think we've got the creds to be giving TTG storyline writing advice.
The guy who wrote these episodes is a professional. Wrote Book of Eli and prolly some other stuff. Pretty sure he's more qualified than any armchair critic.
No one is really telling them how to write it. At least I wasn't. I just expected Lee to live and have most around him die. Didn't think that this group would most likely all die in season 1.
I recently watched Season 1 and 2 on Netflix. And am really interested in Season 3. Traditionally I hate Graphic Novels, but I am even thinking about getting those too.
I watched it slowly and it wasn't a very prolonged attacked.
But you heard a "squished grapes" sort of sound
WHich pretty much means he truly got bit. Reall juicy-like.
