When Lee was dying and he said "And Clem-" before being cut off by his doziness, I was pretty sure he wanted to tell her that. He ended up not telling her that because he wasn't her real father and she just saw her two parents as a zombie so he probably wanted her to have more love for her parents than for him.

Yeah I was expecting that option and it never came. Not a huge deal but his last words were kinda weak imo. The make sure you cut your hair line was the only smile I got from the final chapter heh.
It was so painfully sad all of it, the whole time she was begging 'don't or please don't leave me' I just wanted to be like, OKAY and get up...I don't know, if I was in that situation I would've said, "Clem pull a Michone, chain me up, cut my arms and my jaw, I'm yours forever "
Agreed, I kept searching for that option. But at the last choice, I didn't go with I'll miss you - I thought don't be afraid was more fitting, since I've been training her to be a hardcore survivor all series.

I was waiting for it too. But really, it may have come across as a little trite if they had actually put the option in. Plus, nearly everyone would have picked it. In the end, it didn't need to be said.

I disagree with the hard asses who feel those words don't need to be said.
Sometimes it feels good to be validated. To have emotions and thoughts validated. Women..well people like and need that. Especially when dealing with a 9 year old.
This isn't Kenny, ya know this is a scared little girl, she needs to know that when all hell broke loose she at least had someone who loved her when her folks were zombies
The haircut scene was about the only time I can remember a peaceful and quiet moment shared between Clem and Lee without the others around. It is also the time I taught her to defend herself, plan ahead and promised we would find her parents. This was just before the bad walkie-talkie stuff started happening, so I figured the last words should be reminiscent of that happy moment before everything went to s**t for the pair!
I told her not to be afraid, I wanted to say "I´ll miss you" I only didn´t do it, because I wanted to be strong for her. After all she is just a 9 year old girl, I thought it maybe helps her more, when I tell her that she doesn´t have to be afraid and can take care of herself now.

Oh wait, I picked that too, keep the hair short must have been the line before
Right. You don't have to directly say "I Love You!" To show that you love someone. The countless things Lee have done for Clem alone showed he loved her. Lee said he wanted his own family. This was the close he had ever had probably.
After all that shit they went through, the player should've had a choice to tell the girl that they loved her. Though their actions showed it, it would've made the game that much more rewarding.
People actually defending this depresses me. TellTale fucked up, why can't some people just admit that? They have to make an excuse for every little thing.
I was expecting an option to tell her that as well, but I pretty much came to the conclusion that it didn't need to be said. The most important things he had to say were instructions on how to get out of the room and where to find Omid and Christa. His protection of Clementine throughout the game, even in his last final moments, should be enough to show Clem that Lee did love her.
I totally agree w/ everyone, I really wanted the option to tell Clem that Lee loved her and thought of her as his daughter, but it never happened and I was pretty bummed out about that. Otherwise I really loved this game but I was like "I'll miss you?" How am I going to be missing her when I'm dead? That just didn't make sense to me. I know she will miss Lee but I just don't think you can miss someone when you're dead, just my opinion though. I ended up telling her not to be afraid to encourage her to stay strong.
I wanted to tell her 'I'll miss you' but knowing that Lee's clock was running down fast I decided to focuse on giving Clem any survival advice options I could because she will be on her own in minutes. I didn't even have her shoot Lee because of the noise and using a bullet on Lee will mean having one less to protect herself with. I think just knowing that Lee came for her showed how much her cares. Like Liam Neeson at the end in Taken.
Clem shot my Lee. The way I saw it with the lack of an "I love you." option was that Lee didn't want to make it any harder for Clem than it already was.
After all, she had just seen her undead parents and realized that she's going to be on her own from here on out. Lee just didn't want to traumatize her any further.

About the "I'll miss you" bit, I always figured Lee was a Christian judging by how he acts (good-guy lee, anyhow). It made sense for me in that context.

Didn't Kenny say he was a Christian man at one point? I definitely didn't get that impression of Lee, though.
I was expecting an 'I love you' option, or for Lee to say it anyway, but now I think about it, I'm glad he didn't. As other people here have said, she knew anyway, and I wanted her to be strong. I said 'I'll miss you', but I think I'll tell her not to be afraid next time. I think that line would suit 'my' Lee.

I didn't think about it that way before but I can totally see that now. It would probably be too hard after just seeing her parents and especially if you choose the option of having her kill Lee so he doesn't turn.

If you gave some constructive comments, people might actually listen. Bashing through the forums, telling everyone how bad Telltale fucked up, based on things most people didn't feel your way, doesn't really help your cause.
Telling the community that "It should've been an option. Period.", doesn't fare too well either on these boards. Implying you want to discuss while clearly stating you won't, in your first sentence, shows a fair amount of ignorance, at least to me.
Last, not least, I don't think Telltale fucked up at all and I loved the ending choices. Lee didn't redeem himself by telling Clem he loved her, he redeemed himself by giving his everything, SHOWING he loved her.
I disagree with the hard asses who feel those words don't need to be said.
Sometimes it feels good to be validated. To have emotions and thoughts validated. Women..well people like and need that. Especially when dealing with a 9 year old.

I totally agree with you.It needs to be said.Yes I felt this emotions for her but I wanted to see her reaction when I say that..Maybe also an answer that let me die happily because of her words...
Comments
maybe you're right
Still sad...
OMG... that would have been epic. :O
Plus, "I'll miss you" made me cry enough, thanks.
LoL!
Because Clementine already knew. Besides, could a little girl shoot the man who just told her that he loved her like a daughter?
LOL I would have definitely picked that one if I had the option.

Dont think everyone'll remember that one. ;<
Picked "I'll miss you" since it was the closest thing.

Lol, I did that to. To bad we could't say 'I love you', cause I did. Never got so attached to character in a game.

This. It's all so sad

Just a few thoughts...
