Choices youve regretted or rewound for
Well, playing my natural decisions game, in hindsight, theres quite a few things I regret and probably will be a few more by the time I play Ep.5
Didnt realize there were 4 energy bars in the store, found 2, gave 1 to Clem, forgot about the other one
Wish I hadnt sided with Kenny from the beginning until mid ep.2
Gave Mark food... that was pointless
Thought I would have had more time to fix the swing at the dairy, didnt though : /
At dinner time, I yelled "It's... people!" because thats what the guy in Soylent Green did... that failed to get Clem to spit out the food though.
Not feeding Duck... his death was depressing.
I got punched once by Kenny, shoulda taken him down sooner
Shooting the walker off of Kenny in the street, also, I was generally neutral with my comments towards Kenny, wish I had been more rude to him
Wish I had treated Ben worse from the beginning, I still saved him and still would, but he deserves being belittled for being just so damn stupid
I should have been nicer to Christa, seems like a descent person after all
Ive only rewound twice, once was for a dialogue glitch, because I clicked on 1 thing, the game lagged, clicked on another and both dialogues initiated at the same time so i couldnt respond to one of them
the other was when Molly beat me up, the game crashed in the alley, so I had no choice but to go back and managed to beat her (the one thing I actually changed, but wouldnt have if it hadnt crashed)

Maybe the one thing I regret the most is not telling Kenny to go fuck himself
So I rewound and let him live.
But then I rewound again and let him die again because it just didn't feel right going against my first instinct.
...so I guess this was a mostly pointless post. Sorry.

I regret not siding with Kenny more against Lilly.. stupid bitch.
ya, i was thinking saying one of the other options would have been more appropriate to get her to stop
but when I saw that line I immediately thought of the ending of Soylent Green and couldnt resist the option to pick it, lol
I just wanted to yell "Soylent Green is PEOPLE!" and see a confused look on peoples faces
whats with people regretting killing Danny though?
He told me not to kill him so I could eat him, which was so bizarre and fucked up, i couldnt not kill him
Ya, Clem saw, but thats good, teaches her to kill cannibals who feed her Mark
1. She's eight, regardless if she has a gun or not.
2. Alone with a sick and dying Omid
3. Walkers might get in or the creepy radio guy.
4. And she follows you whether you like it or not.
5. I'm sure there is another reason but I can't think of it.
minor regrets:
Not finding the animal crackers at the train. I like killing walkers so I missed that opportunity.
Not using the "..." option more. I've used it a lot lately and it seems to be the best choice most of the time.
Major regrets:
Not siding with Lilly and supporting her more often.
agreed on both points there
theres quite a few situations where i think ... would have been better now, but I was thinking that there were "right" answers to things before ep.3
- Helping Shaun instead of Duck. (he died anyway)
- Giving Larry food to get on Lilly's good side
- Letting Kenny waste Larry in the meatlocker
- I sometimes regret not killing the St. John brothers myself. But their punishment would have been more severe without Lee's intervention.
- Sticking to my morals in not taking the stuff from the car. Because Clementine didn't get the jumper.
- Being a dick to Christa when they were introduced.
- Punching Molly in the face a couple of times.
General regrets;
- Siding with Lilly at all after Larry's death.
- Not siding with Kenny more.
I rewound;
- After discovering Mark in the house. I got distracted IRL and couldn't get down there in time to stop Clem eating the 'food'. When I saw her put the meat in her mouth and chew I had to rewind. I couldn't have that. Too messed up for such a minor error. And if I didn't get distracted I would have gotten there in time.
- Ben's fate. At first I let him go. But then I just wanted to actually see if it was possible to save him. When I realized I could, instead of reloading a second time and dropping him again, I kept going, hence saving him. Not sure why tbh.
It doesn't matter now and she understood, but I wish I fed Carley instead of Mark. I also wonder sometimes if I should have taken Ben with me instead of leaving him behind.
Only if you pushed him. It's not your fault he's too stupid to land on the train like a baws.
If it wasn't a ZA I'd save him 100% of the time. But as long as he lives many people die because of him, so screw that.
I think he means when you choose who to catch first on the train.
Catching Christa first might seem stupid because Omid is the one with the bum leg.
Yeah, that's right.
It's not like you could have changed anything in that situation. She was going to die, no matter what so why not making the best out of the situation?
Damn right Kenny does!
I actually rewinded on this part too. I made a mistake and I wanted to bring Ben but chose the wrong option.
Gonna go for a walk now.
I made a commitment to myself I would never rewind at any point and that I would keep my original save file for all episodes. Obviously I've played through dozens of times to explore the other options etc.
However I have broken my own rule, but really only where I felt the game tricked me a bit and I would have had more freedom in real life;
* I obviously picked the wrong dialog option in Episode 2 when Clem was getting ready to eat Mark. I was determined to stop her and got there in plenty of time, so I rewound.
* I replayed the section where Lee mysteriously falls over and blacks out as Clem is being attacked in Episode 1 in the drugstore. The game told me Clem would remember I didn't protect her, but I genuinely thought the blurry vision was some kind of cutscene, I couldn't see Clem or anything else for that matter, didn't realise I had to move the cursor thing around and keep hitting the button.
* When I originally replayed Episode 3 I asked every group member if they would have left Lilly as I wanted to explore all dialog options. I realised this made Lee look like he wasn't sure he made the right call, which is ridiculous, I'd have shot her if I could.
* Similar to the point above, after Ben told me he made the deal with the bandits in Episode 3 I threatened him, but later I talked to him as there were dialog options and I didn't want to miss out on any useful information. After I finished the episode I decided to replay from just after his confession and completely blank him for the rest of the episode. That way by the time episode 4 started, my last conversation with Ben would have been threatening to kill him. I felt that was more in line with my reasction, rather than walking over to him 5 minutes later with a big smile saying "hey Ben"...
The only time I've ever been close to changing a major decision was dropping Ben. I dropped him first time around, but the decision was based on a number of factors, buying time to escape, anger, revenge, removing a complete liability from the group etc etc. After I realised that it did not buy any time and Lee was quite capable of pulling Ben up even without his help, it struck me as a bad bad choice.... and Clem's reaction topped it off. In the end I stuck with it though, it's a major choice and would feel like cheating to take it back.
