I know how!
The magical Q button will let you strangle the stranger to death!
Also, I'd rather let him turn because he's not worth a bullet. Too bad it doesn't matter: you still only have 1 bullet for the zombie that tries attacking clem.
I don't know about anyone else, but the Stranger was the single most satisfying kill for me in the entire game. Hell, it beats out kills in other games too. I loved the way the "Q" prompt disappeared but he was still struggling, so I kept going. In my mind, I needed to be sure he was dead. I would not stop until he was dead.
It was an emotionally intense moment for me. It felt a lot more "real" then I can remember ever really doing it before. It wasn't like a jump scare. I'm willing the guy to die at that point, while I keep pressing the button. Knowing that if I falter he will be killing me and I can't allow myself to relax for an instant so I keep on strangling him.
It was the one and only time I used excessive force in the game. Even when I was beating up the St. John Brother, I used only the force I needed to get him to stop. Or when I was killing Clem's zombified baby sitter, I only hit the zombie enough times to kill it. There is the option to hit it one last time after it dies but I avoided doing so.
True ^ I had no idea if you stop mashing Q after it disappears you stop, I wanted to strangle that fuckers life right out of him and I didn't stop until he was on the floor.
I played one more time through that chapter to go out of my way to be the biggest douchebag ever to the stranger. I even warned him in the beginning that I was going to kill him with/without the magical Q button. He didn't listen. Too bad.
I was about to kill him, when I realized just that, I was killing him and I did not want to kill him so I stopped, I was saddened that Clem had to shoot.
I strangled him and left him to turn. I didn't want to put him out of his mysery because he tried to kill me even though I didn't take his food. He can wander around the motel room for as long as it takes for a walker to starve. That way he dies twice.
I strangled him myself, but then as I was about to shoot him, I remembered he told me that he was going to let me rot in the streets as a zombie when I told him about the bite. So I decided that he would be the one rotting in the streets.

But that's not classified as "you" killing him in the stats screen(it will say "you didn't kill the stranger"). Lee must do the deed himself.

I just felt depressed that she had to finish what I hesitated to do...
also i did let clem shoot him on my first run but i forgot how i did it.
He took Clem from me when I never did anything to him. He is a villain. :mad:
