Why didn't they show how Clementine escaped the city?

Isn't that a huge thing? Clementine for the first time on her own, needing to survive?

I'm afraid they skipped through that part because it was more convenient for them not having to address it...

    I know, it wouldn't been cool of we saw that. I would've loved to play as Clem after that part at the end of Episode 5, killing zombitches though the streets of Savannah!

    She was already covered in walker guts and blood, the whole scene would just be her slowly walking through the city.

    They did it great. That would take a whole game in reality. If we controlled Clem they go HA Season 2 protagonist.

    That's exactly why a walker tried to eat her in the final scene with Lee.

    No its not, the walker in the store was perfectly chill until Clementine started bashing in windows at that point it got riled up, then Clem tries to take things of it, that's when it attacked. If the door was open she could have just quietly walked right out and it wouldn't have done a thing just like every single walker she would have encountered on her way out of Savannah.

    She put her non gore covered arm right under its nose after alerting it. She only had the stuff smeared on her front and back if I recall correctly.

    Yeah, it didn't go crazy until she went for the gun/keys.

    I'd go crazy too if someone disturbed the peace by smashing a window.

    SPOILER ALERT

    I just Finished it and waited for all the credits too role and after that,there is a great scene where Clem is walking through the desert/plains and she looks out in the distance after picking up a shotgun shell,and she then looks out and sees 2 people,(Looks like a Male and a Female) then the 2 people look towards her and then it cuts too the Main Menu!

    So? Beautiful enough to address it.

    It could've been done in a thirty second segment.

    They would have had to have more than one scene for it because your character has the ability to tell Clem to go to more than one place. We assume that she eventually gave up and headed for the country I guess, even if we told her to look for Omid/Christie at the train/boat/high ground.

    Exactly. Just laziness on TTG's part. Rather than address the problem, it's better for them to just skip the entire segment entirely. Just like in Episode 4 where Lee jumps back over the fence to get the tape from the doctor, it never explains how he got back over it since he needed Molly's help the first time.

    Why do we need to see her shambling out of the city?

    I mean, we can extrapolate what happened by seeing her outside the city.....

    I was thinking about that too but it makes sense. She was still covered in walker blood so she could have just walked straight through everyone.

    I think showing this bit after the credits at all was a mistake. It was Lee's story and it ended when he closed his eyes for the last time. It was perfect. And then they had to ruin it.
    You could also ask: why didn't they show what the others did when Lee was in the Sewers. We are with Lee. Always. We see what he sees and he didn't see anything any more. The End.

    I think mainly because we've been following Lee throughout this entire game, and they wanted the game to end in the last scene we see Lee.

    What makes less sense is that there were storm clouds in Savannah so it was about to rain and rain washes off the zombie guts, as seen in the show. So she couldn't have escaped the city in the rain with no zombie resistance on herself.

    after completing episode 5, i feel like i must continue the story as clementine!!!

    Season 1 was Lee's story. You didn't start the game with Clem sitting next to you in the police car. Naturally, Lee's story is going to end when he dies. He never would have gotten to see how Clem made it out of the city. The part after the credits was probably just to let the player know Clem was ok, and set up for season 2.

    Well in the show they were covered themselves in plastic so everything just slid off when it rained. But we don't even know if she got stuck in the rain. On top of that you can still see the blood coating her in the very last scene so even if she did get caught in the rain the blood and smell definitely stayed on her.

    The scene would be entirely unnecessary. We didn't need to see it's very easy to know what happened with out being explicitly told.

    the sky DEFINITELY looked like rain and if you go back to season 1 of the show where they did the exact same thing, that is what happens - it rains and they get kind of screwed.

    Well, she still has the blood on her dress in the end scene, so we're not sure if it even rained at all(though the blood on her face is gone).

    I don't see much of a reason for a scene of that, i always assumed it would be like those who complained about the child-burying scene, that it was too long and unnecessary.

    Just like how Lee and Vernon get back to the manor through the sewers, how Lee and the group get back to the manor from Crawford, how Lee and (potential) co. get back to the manor from the hospital roof(that manor is a pretty important place), they're not shown because nothing eventful happens, though here i suppose i can understand the desire for it.

    It would have been nice to see Clementine searching for Omid & Christa(if you told her to) before giving up to show how and why she was in the countryside, but alas.

    Not even close to comparable. This is a huge event because it's the first time Clementine has to survive on her own.

    The same could be said for not showing her dragging Lee into the jewelry store. Not only was she on her own with lee passed out, but she was in the dead center of hundreds of walkers, and had to protect an unconscious Lee as well as herself, which is probably more dangerous than just focusing on herself wandering through the city.

    Did it even occur to anyone that they may start next season off with a completely different cast at a different point in time and then cross over into Clementines story line at some point?

    It would make sense, then, that they don't show everything now. I guess the good thing about a game being seasonal is we shouldn't have to wait 5 years to find out what happens.

    They didn't show that because it's a plot hole.

    I doubt they want to show us everything. As the game states, you're supposed to think about every option your way and that probably extends to the fact that it's up to you to figure out how she made it out. I guess she got to the rooftops and used back alleys.
