What, you mean my hardest decision to make? Didn't we like..have a thread about this already?
Yeah we had, but my little thread lived long enough, so let's start a new one
Uhm... I think in the other thread I said, that whether or not to drop Ben was the hardest decision for me, well, I'd say let or not let Clem to Crawford, or have her shoot Lee or not now, because the former was... very, very... hard to make, and the latter pulls at my heartstrings on every run I make through this masterpiece of a game. The Ben decision though, is the one, where I had the most regrets afterwards, I dropped him, and seeing, how he didn't die from it, but had to go through his worst nightmare, being eaten alive, I wanted to jump back in time and change the decision, but of course I didn't. You gotta deal and cope with your decisions in this game, even if they make you feel like a real dick.

Always wondered if you dropped him considering I never did
-I didn't steal from the car. I was on Kenny's side before Larry's death in the meat locker. After, I was completely pro-Lilly until she killed Carley. I left her on the road. After Lilly left, I tried to be on Kenny's side as much as I could. I brought Clem to Crawford, pulled Ben up, and got everyone to come with me in the end of episode 5. I cut the arm off, Lee killed the stranger, and I made Clem leave Lee before he would turn.
Wasting Larry was pretty hard. I thought about it until the timer was about at 1 second left, then made the snap decision to do the logical thing and help Kenny. I really didn't want to kill Larry, but in the end I decided I'd rather make sure that everyone else in the meat locker was safe. After that? The Ben choice. I dropped him, and felt horrible about. I almost went back and changed it, but stopped myself. I dropped him largely for the same reasons I helped make sure Larry didn't come back. I thought that if I chose to help him, somone else would get killed because the walkers cosed in and I took too long. But it was also a bit of a Carley/Doug thing, where they both died, so I didn't even think it would be possible for him to actually survive (and it turns out I was right).
That was probably the hardest for me as well. Leave her alone in a dangerous place, or take her with a group to an even more dangerous place?
I think remembering that we had a stalker finally made me opt to bring her.
Likewise, it didn't help that I couldn't really trust Clem to do as she was told at that point either. I figured if I left her alone she'd do something stupid like try to follow anyway.
I think the decision that made me hesitate the most was Carley / Doug. I saved Doug thinking that Carley had a gun - it didn't occur to me that she wouldn't have any bullets. I almost rewinded and did it again because I liked her more as a character, but I lived with the decision. Second play-through will have Carley in the team, though.
I dropped Ben. It didn't break my heart at all to do it, I was so sick of him and all of his screw ups. The only thing that bothered me was having to explain to Clem what I did.
Bringing Clem was a no-brainer to me. Omid was on his deathbed for all I knew, I felt it was safer to have her with us than alone in a house with a potential walker, or even worse, if the walkers overran the house (like they do in Episode 5). Besides, knowing Clem, I felt like she would have followed us anyway like she did when we were looking for a boat - I thought it'd be safer if we just brought her to begin with. (I don't know what happens if you leave her, I haven't played that yet, but this was my thought process when I brought her with me).
I didn't steal from the car. It felt wrong, like a trap. Clem and Lee just stood there holding hands and watching our group pillage.
I didn't help Kenny kill Larry, I didn't think he was dead and tried to give him CPR. Kenny actually yelled at me for being on the fence so much between him and Lilly, but I played like I was trying to keep the peace up until the beginning of Episode 3, and then I thought Lilly was off her rocker so Kenny and I made up.
I didn't kill the St. John brothers. I almost did, but chose not to. And once the scene cut to where Clem was watching, I'm glad I didn't.
I didn't mercy-kill the girl in Macon, she got eaten while we got supplies. I was on the fence about it, but the time ran out before I hit the button.
I didn't give the gun to the girl at the motor inn.
I didn't shoot the lady at the camp.
I shot Duck, and the starved walker boy in the attic. I didn't want to put Kenny through that.
I gave up all my weapons when the stranger asked me to.
Clem killed the stranger... but I didn't know there was another option. She also thwacked the stranger upside the head with her fist because I didn't indicate any weapon for her. Come to find out, that was one of the funnier solutions (I've not played it again, but I've seen videos of her thwacking him with a lamp and stuff).
I didn't have Clem put a bullet in Lee's brain, but I did have her handcuff him to the radiator.

Saving Ben, or possibly taking the food from the 'wagon.... yeah, those.
Haha I'll make the size a little smaller if you'd like?

Hardest decision I had to make, waited until the last second to pick an option.
