    Yeah I thought that was weird too. It was only one zombie. She could have done something with either the knife or the rifle she grabbed. May

  • I saved Nick and Alvin. I don't think it's exactly fair to blame her for Lee and Ben's death, I mean honestly all of us probably would have done the same thing in her position. And when it came to Omid's situation, the only one to blame is the girl who shot him.

    Playable characters are bad luck. Since they can't die until at least the very last moment of a season, then everyone else has to. I feel a little bad for Clem :(. Also, it's not like zombie apocalypses are happy or safe. They make WWII look like Canada.

  • There's no denying that she isn't really at fault for all the bad things that happened around her. The problem is Clem DOES believe that it is her fault. 20/20 hindsight can be a real bitch. Clementine had a lot of time between seasons to mature and agonize over mistakes she made when she was "too young and stupid to do anything right." It's alo strongly implied that Christa, her only companion, held her indirectly responsible or what happened to Omid. If there's nobody there saying "stop kicking yourself over what happened", it's not surprising that she has survivor's guilt.

    None of these things are solely her fault, but she honestly feels they are.

    In addition to the conversation with Luke, Clem can also unload a bit of her guilt on Kenny when they're catching up.
    "I got him killed... It was my fault...", to which Kenny comforts her.

    She's got a lot of survivor's guilt bottled up in her.

    I know she thinks it's her fault but it's not. I wish there was a way for her to realize that. If she was real, hell, I would risk my life for her, but I would hope she wouldn't blame herself for it... I hope Clementine's death (which I hope doesn't happen at all) isn't due to her losing her sanity with things like that.

  • WHAT, 9000?!

  • Yeah, I really do hope that she finds someone to work through those issues with. Maybe Christa when she comes back since she knows what Clem's been through. Or maybe in helping someone else deal with their survivor's guilt, Clem can deal with her own sense of guilt. Like maybe if Carlos dies protecting Sarah or Kenny dies protecting Sarita, Clem could console them about how to move on.

  • Clementine is partly to blame for some deaths and I respect her for knowing that
    I'll help her get through it but she also needs to take responsibility for those mistakes which she is doing
