Theory on Lee's Fate/Cure
Lee's death is ambiguous. If you take certain actions it can end up this way.
So I'm thinking the cure is a certain type of antibiotic. I mean, why not have the cure in the Walking Dead be painfully obvious? Just like the fact that you turn no matter how you die.
- You can cut his arm off.
- You can handcuff the guard and not Lee.
- You have have Clem leave you, and even then she might not have shot you. Even IGN's Greg Miller speculated this.
- When she leaves you, Lee slumps over on the radiator. Is he dead or has he just went unconscious again? I'm thinking the latter
- Bites are deadly because of bacterial infections and blood loss. What fights bacterial infections? Antibiotics. Where were antibiotics located? Crawford. Who's from Crawford? Molly. Who's still in Savannah to the best of our knowledge? Molly.

I haven't got a clue how they're going to top Lee with a replacement protagonist. Short of Clem herself, or maybe Omid.
Yeah, same here. No game protagonist has ever resonated with me like this since the Gabriel Knight series.
Lol, well that puts my theory in shambles. I still think antibiotics is the cure.
They need a new protagonist. No way is Omid going to be able to be half as good a protagonist as Lee was 0.o;
In my opinion it would kind of feel like a downgrade after playing Lee's story
I'm sure antibiotics helped a ton pre-society collapse when everyone who got sick were in hospitals and yet still turned. Derp.
The Walking Dead comics have had spanned over 2 years after the apocalypse and there is still no cure. Antibiotics clearly isn't it. Plus the reason why Kirkman doesn't go into the science of the walkers is due to then the series being focused too much on "magic" so I have an odd feeling science won't hold the cure
damn...so he is dead
qfe
The ending was a hopeless bungle. Lee's great sacrifice is no sacrifice at all. First, it's unimaginable that Clem, if she even survives the city (and recall that Lee forgot to, you know, actually tell her how to find Omid and Christa--oops!), won't be forever haunted by the image of zombie Lee chained to a radiator in a windowless room for all eternity. The big deal he makes, that she shouldn't shoot him, is horribly, horribly misguided. Putting down someone before they turn is extremely cathartic. It was a point of honor and pride and closure for Carl to put down Lori in the tv series. In the game it completely spoils the whole ending. Clem doesn't get that closure.
Well, there you have it folks.
Time to give him a proper burial.
If a dev says it, that's pretty much final.
That would basically mean that his 'death scene' was pointless as shit other than to leave in suspense.
I still think that blue vase that fell on his head is somehow related to his 'unconsciousness' or it somehow has affected the zombification process!
You really have to think outside the box as these developers are CRAZY with their ideas.
So you are saying the ending you choose wasn't one you are happy with. Not that TTG themselves screwed up because, frankly, you can ask Clem to shoot you and she does.
So really, what is your actual gripe with the ending here?
good point. it'd totally ruin the ambiguity of his death if they flat out said he was alive. Could just be a clever troll on the dev's part, especially with season 2 still in early production stages
idk who to believe
The group had plenty of antibiotics at their disposal by episode 2. Katjaa probably used it specifically with the idea to fight 'zombie infection', and her patients turned nonetheless.
I don't mean the cure cure.
Dead.
This is coming from the guy using "The cake is a lie" meme.
That's dead.
How would you presume to pronounce "Cyreen"? Strike you as manly did it? Your opinion is invalid due to lack of intelligence.
Have a nice day.
plus lee is dead
