After you strangled the Stranger did you shoot him?

When and if you strangle the Stranger you pick up his gun and are given the option to shoot him or leave him to turn. What did you do? Did you make a choice or let the timer run out? Or were you not able to do this because Clem shot him for you? I was given the option because I strangled him so I did not shoot the Stranger as I was giving him punishment for kidnapping Clem and I didn't want to waste the bullet but it turns out you can't use it later. What happened in your playthrough?

    I shot him in the head. I wasn't aware the timer was there in my first playthrough, and thus, didn't realize it was an actual choice.

    I shot him. At the time I didn't know it was a "Turn or don't turn" choice, I didn't think he was really dead and wanted to make sure he didn't come after us again.

    I shot him because in the latter episode i told him "IM GONNA KILL YOU" or "YOU ARE DEAD" i don't remember.

    I knew Clementine heard and i tough it will be nice to see Lee fulfilling his promises.

    Clem shot him for me.

    Clementine had to do my dirty work for me..

    How can Clementine shoot him? Is that what happens if you fail to beat him in the fight? Or does it have something to do with whether you managed to keep your weapons?

    Anyway, I shot him in the head. No way was I about to let him come back.

    If you fail the QTE when strangling the stranger against the closet, he turns the tables on you and Clementine shoots him to save you.

    Isn't it like you have to keep pressing the button after the prompt to do disappears in order to kill him yourself? I had no idea it was even possible until the stats screen showed up.

    I like that version of the story better. It feels like a step towards Clem proving she's developed into a capable survivor. She saved Lee twice in the space a few minutes in my game, which is perhaps why i wasn't as worried about her having to survive without me at the as others were.

    When you knock the gun out of his hand, and if you don't tackle him before he gets to it then that's another way Clem will shoot him. If you tackle him then you start the strangle QTE.

    Yes, and I loved every pixel of it. Back in ep. 4 I told him that i'd kill him every time I spoke to him on the radio, threatened to kill him when he appeared at the back of the mansion when I was burying the dead kid, and when I met him in ep.5 I was pissed. Super. Fucking. Pissed. If it weren't for him, me, Kenny, Clem, Omid and Christa would be on a boat, living happily ever after, with Lee not bitten. Instead, Lee got bitten, our boat got stolen, Clementine got kidnapped, Kenny commit suicide (probably) Ben fell to his death in an alleyway, Lee died, got separated with Omid/ Christa and left Clem surviving by herself. (But that was later on) (Note that although I would have left Ben behind if there was no space for him, that doesn't mean I don't like him, he's a fucking kid for Christ's sake; and I was mostly pissed at the psycho dude for that)
    When kenny died I told Omid and Christa "I blame the fucker who took clem" When I met him in ep. 5, I said "I'm going to kill you" and Lee said it in a cold, dark tone that fit so well. I didn't give up my weapons, and I was in no mood to hear what he had to say. I said things such as "I don't care" and "YOU fucked up" and when he scolded me and I had no option to be mean to him, I pressed "..." to give him an intimidating look. When clem hit him with a lamp, I jumped at him with my knife. I choked him to death with both my hands, and when it gave me the option to shoot him, I didn't do it out of the thought of him turning, I did it because it was a final "Fuck you" by shooting him in the face. I had not ONE ounce of sympathy for that sick fucker. I've actually replayed that chapter twice just to relive how satisfying it was threatening him and choking that fucker to death, then shooting him in the face.

    Never before has another human being expressed my thoughts so accurately. It's uncanny, this was my experience to the letter.

    I wonder... does he attack you if you don't shoot him?

    No he doesn't, what happens is if you don't shoot him Clem says "He could come back" and then Lee says "Don't worry we're leaving" and then the scene plays out as normal like if you do shoot him. He probably comes back after you leave the Marsh House.

    On my latest playthrough, I didn't shoot him. That's because when I told him I was bitten, I said that he has to shoot me in the head. That bastard said that ''He would leave me to rot''. So fuck 'Im.

    Thanks lol. Wasn't trying to get attention or anything just stating my very honest opinion. Btw how do you get that avatar? I was told I can upload my own but I don't see the option anywhere...

    Your welcome. The way I make my avatar is to go on my own profile and click on send myself a private message, then at the side there is "You Control Panel" and there will be an icon that says "Edit Avatar" then choose a existing photo and your done. Hope this helps, ask me if you have problems.

    Mario you are truly a respectable man and I echo your well stated rant as it describes exactly how I felt.

    If anything this piece of garbage and Vernon taught me is that you don't try to be nice and get on people's good side or please them as nobodies word means anything and they'll lie and cheat you first chance they get and they are also hypocrites. You give damn all to everybody else. Why I told him I didn't give a shit as he shouldn't have left the car with supplies and I had a smile on my face when I choked him to death and left him to turn.
    I only wish I could have t bagged him for what he said about kenny when he lost duck and kajaa.

    I left that asshole to turn , that piece of garbage.

    Actually, I don't know if anyone else thought like me, but at the time, I believed I'd knocked him off and the choice was actually about killing him or leaving him unconscious (with no possibility for him to track Clementine, seeing as she didn't own the walkie-talkie anymore and was living the city.) I thought you could tie him up or something. I replayed it lately and I was the same feeling. It's because you don't get to actually complete the QTE by pressing E, which led me to think that Lee voluntarily stopped choking him halfway...

    I didn't shoot him because I wanted him to suffer and roam the hotel room as a walker until he starved since there wouldn't have been anyone for him to feed on. So he would get weaker and weaker going from roamer to lurker state.

    Considering he planned on killing me even though I didn't steal his belongings and I told the rest of the group to leave his stuff I figured he didn't suffer enough. I would have liked to of shanked him in his stomach to let him die slowly like the Governor did to Milton on the show, but you can't have everything.

    I remember my exact words I said as I shot him.

    "FUCK. YOU." *Shot*

    :D

    First I gave him the one handed tiger claw. :p And then I grabbed the Glock and shot him between the eyes. No one screwed with Clementine around my Lee.
