Secret conversation with "Campman" spoilers

edited November 2012 in The Walking Dead
Before I begin, I just realised that the name campman comes from him being the camp man. Get it?


Also, when he asked if I thought he was crazy and I said yes, his responses were different from my previous playthrough when I said no. He claimed I fed Clementine human meat (Mark's legs) even though on my save file it never happened (I copied my first save file to my last two with only the last two episodes different from the rest.) Yet Lee acknowledged it as if it was the truth. I don't know why, maybe Telltale didn't think that through.


Now to begin, if you tell him that you hurt someone by responding with a yes, he will ask who. Say the wife. He will then ask how. Say I did a lot of things. Then it will reveal Lee's backstory. Apparently he always wanted kids. His wife was always working and she got mad when Lee wanted to settle down with her. Apparently they were never the same again. When he had a sick day off from teaching school, he goes home to see her with that man.


So, that's it. Apparently that guy Lee cut his guts open with the knife is Ben. Doesn't seem far off from the truth.

    Two things:

    1. Nah sorry man, I don't get it. How is he Camp Man? Like... what camp are we talking about? :confused:

    2. I kinda doubt that the walker in the Marsh House was Ben. In my playthrough, Kenny put Ben out of his misery by shooting him... Most likely in the head. Also the clothes kinda looked different.

    The camp of the save-lots bandits. He was probably related to Jolene, because in that video we see her in the car. Maybe she was his sister or cousin.

    I don't think that walker was Ben. Ben is far too eaten to be able to be a walker IMO, let alone stumble right into the Marsh house.


    But yeah, I triggered that conversation. I didn't know it was secret.

    wasn't really a secret though.

    The guy was alone with his family, he wasn't with the bandits. He talks about them running out of food when the group takes the supplies out of the car, that doesn't happen to the bandits.

    Also the walker at the Marsh House definitely wasn't Ben.

    That's tough, I'd say it's at best a marginally good theory only because the footage from the camera of Jolene being assaulted was grainy and we can't be sure if it was the same car. It's interesting though, I always just assumed that the station wagon belonged to the bandits because they accused you of stealing from them when they invaded the motor inn. I was definitely wrong on that point!

    I mean look at the video at the end of episode 2, that was clearly Campman's car that Jolene was in. She probably knew something about him.

    Yeah, that Clem eating the meat thing happened to me, as well, and I know I stopped her on this play-through. Lee's back story seemed rather silly, to me, at least how he explained it. Man wants family. Seems legit. Woman didn't? Sure. Why not? Woman sleeps with other man.... Huh? You lost me. I don't see how conflicting desires can ruin a relationship like that. Usually people just move on. Sounds like they just wanted to throw some "filler" in there and be done with it.

    On that note, the walker in the hallways isn't Ben. If you notice, walking through the horde, you'll see that same walker model, wandering around out there. It's just a filler Walker. :) Look at Brie's walker, she looks like Brie when she climbs through the window. I would think they'd do the same for Ben's character, for emotional effect. :P

    Jolene drops the camera and all you see is the underside of...something. I'm not even convinced it's a car. And you certainly don't see enough to tell if it's Campman's car.

    that walker was confirmed to be brie though.

    I wasn't arguing that, I was just saying that if it were Ben's character, I would think the walker they saw in the hallway would look like Ben, as Brie's did. :P

    It wasn't Ben. It didn't have Ben's face and it wasn't wearing Ben's clothes. Besides, in my play-through, Ben got dropped from the top of a bell tower and broke his legs and wasn't in any position to walk anywhere.

    Even if you saved him (I did :D) he gets impaled after he tried to jump from a roof.

    Lee wasn't going to tell EVERY single detail to the Stranger. When Lee wanted a family and his wife didn't, he never mentioned at what point in the relationship it was. It could have been the beginning of their unravelling communication, or during its last legs, but discovering her cheating would have definitely been the final turning point.

    This was a "secret"?
