What sort of playthroughs do you have?

I was just about to start another playthrough of the whole game and it got me wondering what playthroughs other people have.

I have

Original - All my original reactions and decisions

Pro Kenny- Literally side with Kenny on everything and hate on Lilly and Christa at every opportunity. In situations without Kenny I try to make decisions that I think Kenny would make

Canon - On this one I make the decisions that make the most sense to how the story plays out and also how the game would be if we had no decisions.

Pro Lilly/Christa- I'm doing this one next, Side with Lilly/Christa the whole time, hate on Kenny and his family at every opportunity.

    one pro-Kenny, one rational playthrough - make decisions for the good of the group, not certain individuals, one rational/pro-Clem playthrough.

    I can't play through THAT much.

    In my original (which I unfortunately lost before episode 5 came out, goddamnit.) I was on Kenny's bad side despite trying to be his friend, because I saved Shawn and tried to help Larry. I was actually so naive that

    In my replay, I was Kenny's best buddy who did everything right by him, but outside of that I tried to play Lee as uncompromising - I killed the St John's, gave the bitten lady in ep 1 the gun, etc. This was kind of cheating though, because knowing about S2, I made my choices based on how I want to shape Clementine rather than what I thought was best personally. I want her to do whatever's necessary to survive and not take any chances, even if she has to be a bit ruthless at times, so that's how I played and that's what I told her. "Don't trust anyone."

    I've only had the time to play the game once (about a week ago), school holidays coming up and I'll be playing 2-3 more times.

    My original (and personal) playthrough had me being generally quite friendly to everyone but prioritising Clementine over most things. Very grounded choices - making Kenny kill Duck so he could end it but killing the child in the attic because he didn't need to go through it again and relapse, for example.

    My second playthrough will be purely concentrated on survival. Killing Larry, killing Jolene, stealing from the car, being a dick if I have to be. Not sure how I'll go about certain choices though, like Vernon's question before he leaves.

    Last playthrough will be kind of like my original playthrough, but with futuresight.

    I originally figured I'd play this game 2-3 times through easy, but writing this post made me realize that if I just ran through the game again without a plan, I'd undoubtedly pick almost the exact same path of options.. and I don't feel too cheery about doing any other paths. Some strange moral weight hanging on me.

    I've done three:

    My original and then I played through it again because I wanted to see what the stranger at the end would say if I didn't kill Danny St. John in front of Clementine, leave Lilly on the side of the road, and left Clementine at the mansion with Omid while I went to Crawford. I just finished my third which was basically what zyoxo did: prepare Clementine for S2.
