Series 1 Episode 5 BIG DECISION HELP WITH LEE
So I purchased The Walking Dead with some christmas money cause I heard it was a good game and wanted to try it for some time. I didn't realise it would be the biggest and best game of my entire gaming life!
So I have played up to the end of Episode 5 and I have had to make some huge decisions that have took me a while before but none like this. I came to the end and I knew Lee would die...but not like this! he's right now handcuffed to a radiator as I am given the decision to make Clem shoot me or whether to make her leave me. I've looked on the internet and the reasons for both are both fair but I needed to get my voice out there and then make a decision based on what you lot say.
I didn't want to make her walk away because she will know that I'm still out there, her best friend and father figure, as a walker she may one day could come across again. Plus she doesn't want me to turn into one.
So maybe she should shoot me. But if she does surely it will traumatise her. The poor girl has only just seen her parents as walker and she would then have to shoot me! Her mental state would be awful. Plus she could use all the ammo and she does need every bullet.
SO I don't know what to choose. Or should I leave it up to Clem? Apparently if you don't make a choice she makes a choice for you based on the entire first series. It would be good to see what she thinks of me. But leaving the choice to her makes me seem weak and she shouldn't have to make such a hard choice. WHAT SHOULD I DO PEOPLE?! Aaaarghhh.
By the way let me just praise Telltale games here. Never before have I encountered a game where I generally wanted to go on the website, get involved, actually finish the game and want MORE! So good job to them and I hope they keep the standard of the episodes and the actual episodes up!

God, this choice was hard.
Look, my advice is just choose for yourself: I don't know how us telling you is going to make a difference to what you found on the internet.
I told Clementine to leave me.
i let her decide she left both times...
I'd have her shoot you/Lee. Its hard enough knowing her parents are walkers at least that way she knows he's at peace
That sums up how i've been feeling about this game ever since i finished it many months ago.
Yeah so I couldn't wait. I was still stuck on what to do and I let her decide and she chose to walk away. For her sake I hope Walker Lee got killed so she doesn't have to deal with the fact he could be a walker like her parents. The better option in the end was probably having myself shot but I couldn't let Clem do it.
Anyway, it's time to raise up enough funds for Season 2 Episode 1 now!
Can you please split your thread up into paragraphs? It is really hard to read a big mesh of text.
Well, my Lee went out of his way help other people in order to try and alleviate some of the suffering going on in the world. Part of that included making difficult choices...there seemed to be several scenarios that served as precursors to the finale of the story.
I helped the girl at the motel in Season 1 Episode 1 kill herself because she was bitten. I believe that ending up as a walker is a fate far worse then death, so under my logic I considered that I was actually doing her a favor by helping her kill herself. It wasn't easy and required me to pause the game and think about it but, I thought it was the right thing to do.
I shot the girl in Season 1 Episode 2 that Kenny wanted to use as bait. Seeing as how she was just recently bit and had no hope of escaping, it seemed like the right thing to do. Being eaten alive and then turning into a zombie probably has to be one of the worst ways to die in the world of TWD.
I pulled Ben up from the church tower when he clearly thought it was time for him to die. Seeing as how Ben wasn't physically injured and was still merely a kid, it seemed like the right thing to do. Ben may of felt he should've died right then but, there was no real reason for that to occur as he was still perfectly capable of living.
I cut Lee's arm off after he was bitten. I know it worked with Herschel in the TV show so I thought I'd give it a chance and see what happens. In my mind, not cutting off Lee's arm was pretty much the equivalent of just accepting death. I knew it had been quite some time since he was bit and when he was presented the chance of cutting off his arm. I also knew that the chances of the amputation actually working were slim but, I thought it was better to try and save Lee then to 100% commit him to his fate.
So when the actual end scenario came up I had some moral background to work with. It was clearly obvious that Lee was extremely sick and was in immediate danger of turning into a walker. After all that Lee had been through and considering all the times that my Lee went out of his way to help other people, I thought it was right to ask Clem to shoot him.
I know it was an extremely hard thing to ask this little child to do (and preferably I wish I had the option of just giving Clem some advice and doing it myself) but, in the context of everything that happened it seemed appropriate. In my mind, not only did Lee not deserve to turn into a walker but, having Clem shoot him also reinforced the message that one should try and do the right or moral thing - even if it is incredibly difficult to carry out.
