Choosing Danny?

I was really surprised that the vast majority shot Justin's cuff off and escaped with Danny. My first instinct was to shoot Danny, because it was his idea to shoot the cuff off. Your idea, you're the one who gets your foot shot off. Those of you who did choose to escape with Danny, what's your reasoning?

    I saved Justin because he seemed like a cool guy and he was voiced by Ben, I just could not see Ben die twice in a single game.

    Yeah I agree with Bioshock. Danny was the one that proposed the idea, and I liked Justin himself.

    That was the only justification I could think of right off the bat. You're grabbing the gun to blow off someone's leg? You volunteered.

    I actually liked both characters well enough before it's implied that Danny was probably guilty, so I think it's odd that it influences Vince's final choice.

    I shot Danny as well, and again, because it WAS his idea. Obviously nobody wanted to ahve to do that, but nobody was actually thinking it until Danny brought it up. He basically volunteered.

    Well Justin was the one who said he had a family and kids so that helped him, he may have been just lying so I could have been cheated but I never thought of it in the heat of the moment.

    i wanted to shoot my own foot at first (although that probably wouldn't have worked out) but because it had to be the others and they would be less likely to survive, i instead decided to base it on what type of criminal i would rather be around, because i didn't trust either i decided Justin would be easier to handle if he betrayed me so i shot Danny

    I shooted him because he is a rapist, no matter how good guy he is, between a thieve and a rapist..

    I shot Justin because Danny was less of an a**hole and he proposed the only way were going to escape. Besides, he seemed willing to help another prisoner more, and seemed more upset about his crime. He also said he didn't lie in court, and that he called himself innocent. Also, he was just nicer all-around, so I saved him in my first playthrough. Nothing against Justin, for he seemed like an okay dude, and if I could have I'd of carried him out of there.

    Remember the policeman in episode 1? What he said is true, some people repeat the same lie to themselves they end up believing it.

    Despite the rape charge (and rape is a heinous crime that absolutely should result in one being locked away for life), Danny simply seemed like the more compassionate character. He wants to intervene when that other prisoner is being strangled, he regrets how his charges have affected his girlfriend, he says he'd be incapable of lying on the stand... he just seems like a more genuine guy. (Besides, he also seems like he's kind of an idiot, which makes him easier to trust)

    Justin, on the other hand, feels no remorse about the crime he's committed and doesn't want to interfere when that guy is getting strangled. He appears far more selfish, cold-hearted, and calculating.

    Way to true, at least Lee did not go mad when his life was ending.

    I shot justin simply because I didn't know what the hell was going on at the time. I tried to move the camera toward the bus window and it a triggered me to shoot justin.

    This is how I feel and why I shot Justin on my first playthrough. It just felt right to leave with Danny.

    I didnt really think it through. I just picked the first guy I thought of. I guess I didnt really think he'd get his foot shot clean off and I certainly didnt think they'd run off and leave whoever was left, lol

    I shot Danny, without hesitation.

    Come on guys, he was a rapist, I'd have shot him even if the world wasn't ending. Thing is, Justin's never going to trick anyone into another pyramid scheme now, and those who survive will be far less trusting and less gullible. Danny on the other hand will more than likely have plenty of opportunities to rape again.

    that's my reasoning as well, but accidentally chose Justin because there was a dot on the window next to him - I thought it was an option to shoot the window.

    After I clicked the dot, I couldn't go back.

    Justin seemed smarter than Danny and Danny was kind of hot headed plus as others have said he proposed shooting them.

    I shot Danny's foot

    To me, Danny looked like he felt bad for the things he done. I mean come on, Lee was a murderer, being a murderer is as bad as being a rapist, and yet in a world full of walkers, things like that don't matter anymore. Plus Danny felt like he was a much nicer guy, Justin just kind of..moped around, and when one of the prisoners was being choked, he loudly claimed that he wouldn't even attempt to save him, if he was in a group, he could might as well abandon all of it once they're in danger. Thus, i trusted Danny a lot more so i shot Justin.

    Tbh I preferd danny so I saved him, however this ends up with vince not joining the settlement because he believes in sticking together. Was it actually proved danny was a rapist?

    I shot Justin. Danny seemed like a better team player and was even said to be one in the epilogue. Justin, on the other hand, seemed like someone who'd betray you at one point or another, which is confirmed in the epilogue.

    I shot Justin because Danny was the one who came up with ideas and actually tried to save someone...
    He seemed nicer...

    This was the most frustrating part in the whole game for me! I shot Justin because Danny seemed much more nice and considerate of Vince. They were both guilty for there crimes, lets be honest, but Danny seemed like a) he could contribute more with strength and b) seemed less likely to stab me in the back if we escaped together. I think its ridiculous that this decision affects the game like it did.

    I shot Justin because...well...Danny seems more brave and calmer, kind of like Lee.

    I shot Danny for most of the main reasons I've been hearing.

    1. I'd rather have a con artist watching my back then a rapist...
    2. He suggested shooting the feet first.
    3. Justin's crime was the lesser of two evils compared to Danny's.

    I shot Justin. It is the only choice from the episode that I regret, mostly because it made my favorite Vince be the only one who stayed behind.

    This was the toughest decision in 400 Days for me and I ended up leaving Justin behind. When I played 400 Days I tried to make decisions the way I thought the characters would and not what I would necessarily do.

    I figured Vince was more likely to take someone who seemed loyal like Danny over a white-collar criminal who seemed to be out for himself like Justin.

    Had I known this would cause Vince to stay behind at the end I would have chosen differently.

    I saved Danny just because he seemed like a nicer guy to me.

    I shot Justin's cuff and escaped with Danny. Justin seemed like an asshole who didn't care for anyone but himself, and would probably throw me to the wolves if it meant saving his own hide.

    Danny seemed like a kind guy, he tried to intervene to save the inmate and stood up against the guard when he threatened to shoot the trio.

    Anyone who stands up to both Crabtree and a guard is a good guy in my book, which is why I am sorry I left him so Justin could live, I wish I could have put him out of his misery but alas, life sucks.

    So since Danny lost his leg does that mean he is now related to Danny Saint John? They both have a leg problem now and they both do not die on screen.

    I shot justin because it seemed to me Danny actually felt remorse and wasn't a total sociopath.

    Justin didn't seem to give two shits about what he did, who he hurt, or who he'd end up fucking over.

    That was my justification as well. Danny is trying to turn his life around after committing a terrible crime, while Justin showed absolutely no remorse and doesn't seem to care about anyone other than himself.

    Plus Danny seemed more brave and useful to have around, while Justin complained a lot and threw up at the first sight of violence. It was a win-win situation with Danny for me.

    Danny was more useful, courageous, honest, and quick thinking (if he didn't suggest shooting the ankle, who would have).

    He showed remorse for his crime whereas Justin was being a complete dick.

    That, and I figured it didn't matter so I just randomly shot someone.

    I shot Justin and chose Danny to come with me because:

    a) he faced down that cop with an itchy trigger finger - brave

    b) Justin admits he is a liar, not only that he is a GREAT liar - that screwed over how many how people and didn't really care. Danny - though clearly he is an idiot for what he did - feels sorry for his victim.

    c) Tries to help convict getting strangled.

    d) we don't really know the circumstances for Danny's crime. Some people are quick to say rape - and yeah technically it is statutory rape and yeah he deserves to do time for it. But it is not as black and white as that. Was it forced? It is not unheard for a 15 year old girl to have a crush on an older guy. She could have pursued HIM. This girl is not a 8 year old, 10 year old, hell not even a 13 year old. In some European countries 14 is legal. I'm not defending what he did, but we don't know the circumstances around it. He could be just really stupid - or something darker.
    So I would give Danny a chance, then if he tries it on again - shoot him.

    I wish both could have come, I liked both but I picked him since he was the rapist, even though it's as you said not as black and white, and I stand by my choices.
