Why the hell wouldn't you let Clementine shoot ****?
Letting her live with the thought that Lee turned into a walker because she didn't do anything is by far more disturbing than letting her kill him.

I made Clem save the bullet, purely because I wanted to see Lee as a Zombie!
think about it...
#1 I am handcuffed to the heater anyway, so I am no threat at all.
#2 shooting me doesn't personally help me, I am dead either way.
#3 Noise. Clem shooting makes noise. And as everyone knows noise attracts walkers - unnecessary danger for Clem
#4 wasting bullets - ammo is rare these days. Why waste a bullet? Rather save it for a crucial situation.
these were my reason to just leave me handcuffed to the heater.
no reason to shoot me at all. there's the most logical explanation to "why the hell wouldn't you".
The noise, save the bullet, handcuffed so I'm not going anywhere, and I'm not going to make her go through something like that. At least she can have some hope that maaaaybe Lee survived you know? It'll keep her going.
Same here, I couldn't bear to let Clem shoot Lee. No Way
in more ways than one...
I don't know, personally I'd rather have her live knowing Lee's a walker, because like he said: "It won't be me.".... but like every single choice in the game, this is arguable. Each person is gonna have his or her reason for doing it. Anyhow, I don't think Clem is gonna get attached to anyone else as much as she was to Lee, so I don't think her having to off someone she really really cares about is going to be an issue simply because I don't think it'll happen.
Plus, as others have pointed out, there are logical reasons for not having her shoot him like not taking the risk of attracting more walkers and saving ammunition for real threats.
If lets say Kenny was with us for example then yes, Shooting Lee would be the best option since he's a grown up adult who can go trough hard stuff like that, but Clementine can't. Making Clementine shoot him would change her drastically in a painful way, not to mention that she would be more Scared for the rest of her life then if she just left.
Yes Lee would be forced to suffer like a zombie for the rest of his life but i think that Lee would be willing to make that sacrifice to save Clementine the pain.
Either way I cried.
More than that... this entire time, I've been trying to get Clem out of the crud alive this whole time, but also sane and as a 'good' person. I've never had her kill a living man, and I've tried not to kill them. As Lee says when you choose not to have her shoot you, you have to be careful with violence because it changes you. I don't want it to change her so much, only just so much as it has to for her to survive.
This is the same reason that I was hoping Omid and Christa would take care of her. Between them, they seemed like they could survive and still stay 'decent' as people.
Do I want Lee to become a walker? Hell no. But more than I don't want him to become a walker, I don't want Clem to become a monster in order to survive and I don't want her learning that she has to kill loved ones BEFORE they turn. So I see it as my last sacrifice as Lee, the final gift I can give even in that messed up, paralyzed state.
Hopefully it kept her just a little less changed by violence.
I never really even considered having her shoot me as an option. We call that 'strength' and in a zombie apocalypse it sort of is, but on a greater scale I call it horrifying, and it's in that greater scale that I hope she gets to live some day and that I prepare her for.
I just feel I would rather not have to shoot a loved one in the face. For me personally, I would probably be going the Michonne way of life. To add on top of my point, she's only a little girl, and it would attract a lot of walkers. It doesn't matter if she still got out, the point is that it's a risk/gamble doing it in the first place.
That last scene with them both was some crazy shit and I was thoroughly compromised of my manhood. Real men cry! :P
He would stuck there like that for who knows how long!
If anything I do think it would make it easier on Clem's conscience if she'd shot him.
Fast forward , say, two years. Whenever she were to think of Lee she'd have to remember that she left him there to turn, and that he's probably still stuck there in the same position. I know MY conscience would be heavy if that were my situation.
It doesn't really matter. When people turn into walkers, they are already dead. Whatever is left there is not Lee anymore.
I didn't have Clementine shoot Lee, because shooting people all the time like that changes you. And nobody should have to shoot a "family" figure. Same logic applied when I got Lee to shoot Duck, Kenny shouldn't have to go through this.
This.
I felt it was a lesson she NEEDED to learn to survive.
I don't know about Lee, but being a beast with no emotions or regard to who they're hurting is my second worst fear.
I have the feeling people are being way too protective of her, which is sweet, but not realistic anymore. Clementine has seen some gruesome stuff already and this is simply something that's part of this world now. She is going to be miserable in a couple of months when she fully realizes what has become of Lee.
And hey, how can we be sure that humans are not aware of themselves anymore when they turn into zombies? Maybe you're just trapped inside the body and don't have control over it anymore.
Just look at Carl from the series, he put his mother out of her misery. Yes, she was dead already, but it's the same principle.
However on my second playthrough I chose not to let Clem kill me and seeing Lee just slumping against the radiator and dying actually upset me more.
Great Game!
She understood what needed to be done and why. It is a harsh lesson, but hey, It's a zombie apocalypse.
They were both able to say their goodbyes and she knows he is at piece now.
I know that my 9 year old would do the same thing.
Exactly. Sooner or later (hopefully later) She will probably have to make this decision again unfortunately. So she needed to do it now so she will have a slightly less harder time doing it later.
But I made her use it on the officer, so I could have starten eating her in a few minutes if something went wrong..
Besides, all that "it brings the dead on her, the noise, she might need it" stuff is nonsense. Lol, you think your choices matter. She makes it out alive anyway, regardless of the choice. It's not like letting her shoot you would be a fatal decision because God forbid TTG have to write in a sequence where your choices have lasting consequences.
I was about to say the same. There will be a point in her life -if she doesn't die before- where she WILL have to kill somebody she is/was emotionally attached to. It's something she had to go through... anyway, about the noise, she was covered in walker guts; she already could drag Lee to a "safe" spot, why wouldn't she be able to walk thru the horde?
Edit: Okay what the fuck is wrong with me posting stuff that has already been posted ._.
Edit 2: Like, really, I should try reading some replies before posting myself lol. Anyway, what matters is that Clementine is still alive, right?
Dead's dead.
Would you rather have Clementine go outside and shoot her parents as well? :eek:
Although, I didn't quite understand why he couldn't just shoot himself.
