Is it just me who took an automatic dislike to Duck?
I felt kind of bad that I could dislike a poor defensless little kid and not have a reason to back it up. I even kind of felt slightly ok that he turned into a walker and got shot in the head by his dad. I finished the game and watched Toy Story with my niece the day after.
I now know why I hated Duck so much. He is literally the identical twin of that evil shit that is known to all of us as Sid.
Did anyone else feel this way towards him or was it just my crazy deluded brain?

Basically at first the feedback on Duck was that players were kind of lukewarm about him. That wasn't awesome, because the writers had the events of episode 3 planned out, and for that stuff to hit you emotionally you really need to CARE about Duck. So they focused on adding some more interactions between Lee and Duck where you get to see more of the kid's likable side, including the whole "Batman and Robin" thing.
That's one of the cool things about the episodic model - you can adapt to feedback like that as the game is being created.
for me,it worked ! it went from the start of trying to protect the kids,to actually liking Duck and listening to him,he was so full of life and energy...so to see the atmosphere and what he had turned into on the train,i felt very sad to see him like this,at the end of the day seeing him cared for by his mom was heartbreaking,good job telltale! great writing!
His moment to be helpful and think that Lee was incredibly awesome was just enough for me to start warming up to him before the end. Then you see his hyperactivity effectively juxtaposed with him slowly dieing..
i thought he looked more like Andy
secret origin of how kenny was borne
About 6 minutes before he was bitten.
I know im a horrible person
He reminded me a bit of the main bad guy-- so to speak-- in Toy Story I.
lol, man I havent seen honesty like that in a while. I didnt hate Duck, per se, as he was only doing what 10 yr old boys do: touch stuff and get into trouble.
Kenny's attitude after the event is what really rubbed me the wrong way
Kill who? PewdiePie or Duck? O_o
And as for my answer, I was pretty indifferent towards him.
I saved Shawn over Duck not because I didn't like the kid, but because I knew that Kenny was on his way to save his son and Hershel went off to get his gun, leaving no one around to save Shawn so I took up the resonsibility.
My opinion of him improved in Episode 3 after we got to know him a little better, whats with being a fan of Batman and Robin and being helpful with the investigation of the missing supplies and all.
Mind you, the fact not a single one of the adults in the area mentioned that sticking a hyperactive child behind the wheel of a piece of heavy machinery might be a bad idea means it probably wasn't entirely down to him.
He definitely redeems himself in Episode 3 and his death was a real surprise to me, one of the saddest moments in the game. It didn't help that I assumed he had infant immortality.
Just going to throw this out there - Duck gets a lot of hate for the tractor scene especially, but consider the fact that Shawn had to have either left the keys in the tractor or left it on for the whole thing to have even happened. Not exactly the smartest.
