People who chose/like Carley apparently are shallow, uneducated, for boobs, boners...
I can't believe that there's people who think that those who chose her over Doug was because of those idiotic excuses, maybe for a few players that's may be true but definitely not the majority.
Carley saved lives countless times, helped out a lot, shot the walkers, spoke the truth, stood up against Lilly and when Doug was near to that brick on the pharmacy's gate, what did he do with it? Nothing, Lee had to open the gate to get it himself.
TellTale's maybe did this on purpose to make Carley the more likeable character of the two, but there's no reason to be insulting the ones who chose to save her over Doug.
*sigh* just stop this nonsense of calling people uneducated, shallow, only picked her for boobs, get laid, for boner. Just shut the fuck up about those lies or keep them to yourself.

Don't forget that she has saved your life and also Clementine's life. I figured I owed her one, everything else aside.
Also, if I was to be heartless... Doug is seemingly a kid. And overweight. And can't fight. That isn't a good combo in the ZA.
That's because he has no screen time. And he's not fat, he's big boned
They aren't lies dude, some people think that (but we didnt) we chose her over doug cus of the reasons above.
I saved her because she's pretty, and I felt there was a true connection between her and Lee. What else is, when she confronted you and stuff, you know you can trust her. What else is, she's a great person.
But looks definitely played a role here. Not saying a big role or whatever "but everyone's different, who knows how they'll take it, you know". We can't say it played a large one or small one.
It's natural to get boners (or have that feelign of attraction) if you see a pretty person. I'm not one of those who say these things, nor am I defending them, but I'm just saying it. I think it's natural. When you're near your crush or gf or whatever, I'm sure you'll have any of those.
She's a good character. People should respect that. But we should also respect their opinion as well.(unless its full of crap/insulting)
#TeamCarley
There's always going to be people who liked her simply because she was a willing girl (which is just weird considering its a video game). I, personally, like her because she's essentially the groups Andrea (comics).
"You're a strange guy, Doug." "I know."
Her personality is admirable. Do you agree guys?
I definitely agree.
Electronic devices in times like these are pretty useless unless they have some kind of energy/battery.
Carley:
+ Hot Chick
+ Good Shooter
+ a lot more screentime spent with her = more sympathy.
- dumb (batteries, duh)
- knows my murder story
Doug:
+ Bros before hoes
+ intelligent
+useful technical knowledge
+ heroic in crucial situations (known from Carleys story about him saving her)
- very little screentime
- isn't a hot chick
This isnt a you saved her its the death response thats stupid.
fixed it in a more traditional way :P
when did this bros b4 hoes pop up? that in the titanic... would kids be applied as priority over '' bros? ''
did you feel sympathy for lilly when she shot carley? or doug
i changed carley knowing your past as a + and doug not knowing as a -
Did Carley being a pretty woman had something to do with my choice at a subconscious level? Probably, I don't know. My first instinct was to save whoever saved me. This was the same reason I tried to save Shawn over Duck at Hershel's farm because him giving me a ride saved Clem and my life.
Like others pointed out, she had a lot more screen time, and all that screen time was mostly about her helping me. It's hard to dismiss that.
Personally, I was not impressed with Doug at all. Carley haters like to criticize her for the battery thing while ignoring the good things she did. Seriously, who here hasn't done something that's stupid and minor? They also ignore that Doug doesn't act very smart either. I mean he suggests going outside and taking a look hoping a flimsy store gate will be enough to hold back walkers. The only reason the pack of walkers didn't see you in plain sight was because TTG writers willed it so and made chilling out side the drugstore necessary to forward the story. Logically, it didn't make sense and was a pretty stupid and dangerous move. I also don't recall Doug standing up for the newcomers during Larry's tirade.
Don't use a quote and then edit my text, it is misleading to people who read your post without mine. Because in my opinion it doesn't make sense. If you disagree post it in your post but don't alter my text and then make it seem like you directly quoted me.
Plus, you could in some instances say that technical expertise can be a negative for Doug. Mostly anything his technical skills are capable of cannot be done because he doesn't have the supplies to do so(mentioned in episode 2). Carley's main skill(pistol) requires only bullets, and they are(at least initially) easily found or already stockpiled.
Edit:Also, i don't think Carley nor Doug stand up for Duck when Larry wants him out. The only thing Carley says is "Will everyone chill the fuck out!" which doesn't take sides.
you're pretty right i could have put your post copy and pasted it and edited it
This. If Doug had been allowed to confront you in the same way Carly does, then the choice would have been even.
that's a very valid point. I agree, the difference in screentime is tremendous between the two. I mean with carley you have the 1 small puzzle (radio), the occasion in the room where she confronts you, the big mission to rescue glenn+the girl and a lot of side-converastions.
with doug you have... the tiny conversation at the outside-door and that's it.
Again, I have also listed screentime has a huge reason. Personally I picked Doug (see why above) but if he got the same content as Carley did I would assume the results would have been a lot different to what they are now.
It's almost like telltale wanted you to pick Carley.
By contrast, Doug helped by programming a remote, that's about it.
that was everything i had time to think for, i didn't "cheat" and press the XboX button to think about it, i did it as telltale wanted me to, with little time. It was no decision to me, but instinct in some way, I also thought she'd reload the gun then maybe save Doug.
Even now having seen how they both play out. Id still chose Carley just because i liked her more personally. (not that i hated Doug). The sort of "sexy action girl" characters have just tended to irritate me in other games so that's not the reason i liked her at all. She was trustworthy, friendly and helpful.
I know more about Carley. I know she's capable of using a gun. I know she's assertive. Now, when it came time to choose, I saw her facing a single walker with one hand around her ankle and she positioned herself just out of reach of her ammo (bad move). Doug was being pulled from behind by several walkers, had no weapon, and was pinned.
From what I knew about Carley, she should have been able to get herself out of that situation. Just yank your leg through the walker's thumb joint (easiest way to break a grapple), and get your ammo. Heck, if she just stood next to her purse, where she knew her ammo was in the first place, she wouldn't even need my help. Doug was in serious trouble, so I chose to help him. I felt bad afterwards because Carley was more likeable at that point. She did save/assist me on many occasions in the span of a couple hours (in-game time, not play time). Doug was nice and all, but all he did was turn on some TVs across the street.
Now... All my subsequent play throughs, I have always picked Carley. She actually makes the game easier. In episode 3, she kills two bandits after Lilly snipes the leader, as opposed to Doug's one kill. She then proceeds to clear one side of the RV when the walkers start advancing. Doug just tells you which side is in more danger (but you need to clear both by yourself). That scene took me several tries when I had Doug with me. Partly because I was still getting used to how the action scenes work, but still... Having half of it done for me is always better than "left bell! right bell!". Plus, Carley allows me to reveal my past, which in turn makes Lilly seem more of a fool when it comes time to decide her fate (don't like Lilly at all, so it's more satisfying to know I have her trump card beat in advance).
So... yeah. There are plenty of non-shallow reasons to save Carley.
Lee : Stay away from the windows!!!
Doug: That window is screwed
*Later*
Doug: ARGHH GET THEM OFF OF ME!! LEE PLEASE!!! LEE!!!
* Doug is seen being grabbed by a zombie infested window *
He says you let a woman die in order to hide your secret. Typically he only mentions Doug or Carley if you haven't really done anything all that bad.
