Choices youve regretted or rewound for

edited October 2012 in The Walking Dead
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)

    I regretted letting Ben die, but, I never did change it. I also regret being kinda mean to Clem. :/

    I'm having my first playthrough being like a canon story for me. No rewinds. I don't regret much, really. One thing I regretted, but only for a while, was killing Danny... that was unnecessary, but well, it happened. I was pretty angry at that moment...
    Maybe the one thing I regret the most is not telling Kenny to go fuck himself :p

    Nothing.

    I regretted letting Ben die, especially after I saw at the end that you could save him and have the whole group go with you to save Clem.

    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 regretted killing Danny in my first play-through. Clem saw.
  • edited October 2012
    The only thing I rewound for was one of the things you regretted: the "It's... people!" thing. I thought it would have worked and it didn't. I was really horrified and didn't want Clem to eat Mark when it was entirely preventable, so I rewound. I know it's cheating but man...
  • edited October 2012
    the only thing i sort of regret is pushing omid off the bridge i almost rewound it or quit, i was like "help omid overcome his fear with some encouragement" not "hurt omid" :( but after seeing the silent option i didn't feel as bad anyway

    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

    I regret not stealing from the car and letting Ben die. Everything else was cool though.

    Leaving Clem behind in episode 4. I was worried about taking her with me to Crawford but as we started to leave I fully realized...
    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.

    I only rewound because i felt bad for letting Ben die so i rewound and saved him, now i have 2 saves and don't know which one to play episode 5 with xD
  • edited October 2012
    i have played my game with no rewinds or changes and i wouldnt change them mostly. Maybe change doug for carley so i can tell everyone my past like i did on my second playthrough but most of the survivors die anyways so it seemed useless.

    The only thing I regretted was Lying to Vernon about the meds. but the time was running out and I didn't want to mention Clem to these strangers. Once that "You lied to vernon" thing popped I was like "f**k, this is gonna end badly for me." turns out Brie doesn't talk to you and Vernon blows off all my "thanks for coming" or "sorry for your loss" choices. :(
  • edited October 2012
    I hardly regret anything. I'm happy with most of my choices, I accidentally disagreed with Kenny on episode two, when he suggested to go to savannah as get a boat, I didn't rewind to change it, though.
  • edited October 2012
    The game told me what I said scared Clem, so I rewound and chose something else. :x
  • edited October 2012
    Rewind = Lame. No rewinds in my game. No multiple playthroughs either.

    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.
  • edited October 2012
    I rewound to tell Kenny to suck it up in my second save, because evidently he didn't fully appreciate all Lee had done for him, but he damn well owed Lee some loyalty.

    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

    Only thing I rewinded was the stupid "Did you lie to Hershel" Because I didn't want to lie in the first place it just said I did, so I rewinded and got what I had desired after about 20 times...
  • edited October 2012
    um, so far I regret only not showing the bite, cuz i thought that no one would come with me if i showed it, turned out the opposite =/ and second thing is leting Ben die, sure I hated him, but didn't want him dead, but since i thought that there is no time to save him I let him go, turned out there was time =] both these mistakes i fixed though in my second playthrough which is more "right decision" based.

    I regretted;
    - 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.

    I've kept all my choices in my original play through.

    No rewinds, but minor regrets:

    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.

    I regret not rewinding and dropping ben a second time.

    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.

    I regretted letting that girl get eaten by the walkers in the beginning of Ep 3, using her effectively as bait so me and Kenny could raid the pharmacy for supplies. I figured it would win me some points with kenny (and it did, only different choice i made in my latest playthrough was this and siding against larry in the pharmacy, and that was enough to get kenny to help me in the end of ep 4) Heck it even made sense at the time, but looking back it was a lousy thing to do.

    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.

    I really regret asking for help at the end of episode 4. Now I'm on my own to save Clem.
  • edited October 2012
    I regret nothing, but I rewound several times to see if there really was no way to save Carley. Still makes me sad.
    Gonna go for a walk now.

    I regret dropping Ben. He was just a stupid teenager who made some bad choices, but in the spur of the moment I decided to let him be zombie bait. There's no rewinds in my playthrough, so I'm just living with my decision.
  • edited October 2012
    Well, I don't like rewinding. I have only 2 game saves, because I did rewind, however only once, at the end of EP 3. I pushed Omid off the bridge and felt bad when he hurt his leg. In the other save I yelled at him and he jumped without Lee's assistance, yet he's injured his leg again, lol. Other than that, I didn't rewind. My Lee's got only one life, I'm trying to keep it real ;)

    I don't regret any of my choices & I've never hit rewind to change anything.
  • edited October 2012
    Excellent thread!

    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.
