Is Lee's death/zombification inevitable?

    I just don't have words for this. The cliffhanger was just way too awesome! Everything happened in such a short time, I can't even explain the way this made me feel, specially after everyone chose to go with me. Anyway, overall, the episode was really well made, I really liked the fact that we had a timer for nearly all the dialog options, we sometimes could just choose two of the three available options, which made me love the timer-stress even more! Now, talking about the story, telltale said we'd hate them if they did they job properly... I'm going to stab everyone at telltale...

    Yeah, because wasn't it Ben who said "it's not the bite that gets you."

    I mean in this game have we ever seen anyone take a wound from a Zombie and not die, or take a scratch or anything of that nature and not die outright?

    Usually when one take the first bite they get dragged down or pulled and that's end of story.

    I don't think Lee is gonna die. Or...he might and then when he dies Clem is finally reunited with her mother and it is is Clem who has to put a bullet in his head.

    Oh...how..dramatic!

    well crawford is done so its probable that her mother is dead

    why tt let us know that lee was bitten on the end of 4 episode?we can see the end of ep 5 already(saving clem and get headshotted by her or suicide);he may be imune to the bite infection but anyway if is going to die by the bite they only should showed at ep 5

    Lee is going to die. whether it's on screen or not is the only question

    Perhaps Lee will search. But the likelihood of her parents being alive is like slim-to-none. And the chances that they're Walkers is almost certain, we forget that Walkers are nomadic eating machines.

    They're just not likely in Savannah anymore, given the horde dynamic...

    If Lee were to survive, he would need Vernon very fast.

    The only problem I have with Lee dying is that it it makes any kind of dilemma that could of come up if he had found one or both of Clem's parents alive irrelevant.
    It would of been a no brainer for me but I would of been interested to see how many players would do a "Jolene" and tried to have kept Clem to themselves.

    Now it's not even a choice because Lee has no hope for any kind of a future.

    By the way, since we didn't actually get to see the real Crawford... I think the guy on the walkie talkie actually might belong to Crawford.

    Wow, I never actually stopped a second to think about it, perhaps the walker guy is Crawford's leader itself! You just gave me a whole new point of view. The next question, WHAT does this guy WANT from Lee?

    Pretty sure the leader of Crawford was hanging on a noose at the top of the armoury, under the bell, already zombified. His hair seems to match with the hair on the man in the photos lying around pasted on the walls of the school that have the words 'supreme leader' writen on them or something.

    Also, what do you guys mean by 'the real Crawford'? As far as I know there was only one Crawford and everyone in it died and turned into a walker.

    #1 is more believeble and possible an it also can get him to season 2 atleast for the first episode of it cause like i said he has to battle the shock and fever that comes with choping off his arm.

    Chopping off his arm would only work if he did it extremely quickly after being bitten. By the time they reach the nuclear bunker, it's far too late for that to do any good.

    I hope it isnt a staring into the sunset/sunrise death, that will be so weak...

    Or the blow myself up to save everyone ending...

    Or anykind of dream (unless lee is alive) :P

    So now Lee has only Clem to Lose. That makes him a VERY Dangerous man

    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?

    Honestly, since they've never seen anyone survive a bite, it probably wouldn't occur to Lee that chopping off his hand would help in any way.

    The biggest threat could be Walkie man though.

    Staring into the sunset/sunrise death has been done in both the the show and the comic. I wouldn't be surprised by it lol.

    I agree with those who have said they think it happened to make it a no brainer as to whether Lee should sacrifice himself or let someone else look after Clementine or something along those lines.

    For all we know, he might have a supposed immunity.

    I thought it was genius having Lee get bitten. The graphic novels and TV shows don't have an ending yet, and I was really curious how they were going to wrap up the story. Lee's inevitable death is a perfect way, and now that they have a 2nd season, he can either not be infected from the bite, or they can just drag out the story. Maybe in season 2 you're Clem?

    COMIC SPOILER
    The protagonist in the comics loses his hand/forearm (not to a zombie bite), i don't think it would be too far fetched to have the doctor amputate lee's arm to stop the infection, the bite he got was pretty minor so it seems plausible.

    Different infections have different mortality rates. We could assume that this infection has a 100% mortality rate. However, we have to consider that there are two sources of infection: everyone is carrying one form that zombifies them at death, plus the infection that is passed by bite. We don't know the actual mortality rate for bite victims, as zombies usually kill their victims before the infection can take hold.

    Jesus, doesn't anyone here understand how blood flows? It goes fast. Very fast, to keep up heat in your body. It took seconds for Lee's bite infection to spread. In the time he took picking up the walkie and inspecting his bite, he was already doomed. Try cutting off circulation in your arm. Then, wait until you feel something in it again. That's exactly how fast blood can flow. Doesn't take long, and Lee is going to die. Get over it.

    I just finished my second playthrough, and I'm not 100% sure he was bitten. The marks look like they could be abrasions from anything, maybe the falling plywood...

    They definately were just surface abrasions. and did not appear to be bleeding. Maybe his bloodstream is safe...
  • edited October 2012
    Except they're two mirror opposite crescents
    And if it was a surface abrasion. Lee would be the first to know.
    He most definitely reacted like it was a bite.
    The fear and despair evident in his voice.

    We even heard a juicy chomping sound..
    There really is no denying it...

    Playing Devil's Advocate here... The fear and despair could easily be from worrying about Clem. The stress was adding up. Clem was gone, her hat was in the yard, the radio was on the street, and he just had a very close encounter with a walker. With all the adrenaline and emotions rushing through him, I doubt Lee could feel much of anything other than fear and despair. The marks may just be spattered blood, and Lee assumes the worst because of all the other bad crap happening right then.

    I can't wait for Ep5 to find out!

    Alright Al Pacino.
    Explain the juicy chomping sound effects tho??? lol

    I think you may control a more mature Clementine due to the cliff hanger at the end ^-^

    As someone who will start on Five tomorrow after finishing 3 and 4 over the weekend I do think its possible Lee could survive but only if he is immune. I'm not caught up on the comics but to the point I've read there is no one that has been immune. However in all the diseases we have in the world that do not have a cure many have some people that are immune including Cancer. So it isn't far fetched that some people would be immune. That however is the only possible scenario I can see for Lee surviving. That is a bite mark clear as day. Even before he showed it I thought I saw the Walker get me. Losing Lee will suck. I have gotten rather attached to him....

    He COULD HAVE survived if his left arm had been immediately amputated, but it's been far too long since he was bitten for that to work. The group didn't even have anything to cut it off with, so as soon as that walker broke flesh Lee was a dead man.

    Anyway, i think he died of blood loss, not the bite (if he chopped his hand). We can see this if we play both with arm and without arm. With arm he will pass out several times, when without hand, he will just... keep going...

    Dude that was just Telltale giving you straws to grasp at...I remember rationalizing the bite saying the fainting spell in the hoard was just blood loss, but when Lee wakes up and you see his eyes...you know its over
