Why would TTG's give us a choice to teach (Character) how to shoot a gun when they knew (Character)

She was going to die?

Well Clem did say in episode 1 that she doesn't want to do anything she'll regret which has happened. (Character) pointing the gun at Clem on accident foreshadowed she was a risk to the group, and was going to (Determinate)

    Well thats a good question, I thought teaching Sarah how to shoot would make her live in a situation like that, I thought Clem would throw Sarah her gun, also someone said something about having few amno, I thought that Clem would say something like.- Guys i found some bullets! Sarah could have survived.

  • Because THIS:

    isn't as satisfying if the kid doesn't try to make the shot.

  • I find it rather intriguing that people on the forums kept wanting Sarah's character to die, and now that she has the same people who wanted her dead dislike the fact that she died being a determinant character and all...

  • Ikr? I liked Sarah, she was my bestie. I was upset when I couldn't save her. It's like they forced two deaths on her XD.

  • Seriously though, Sarah could have extended the pace of the story, sure Sarah may have been a burden, but in the end Sarah could end up saving Clementine, but nope.... in this universe promises mean nothing - "Look after Nick", "Take care of my girls", "Look after her", "A promise is forever".

  • because Carley will remember you stood up for her against Lilly

  • She could have at least used a gun if Clementine decided to stay with Rebecca, at least if you taught her how to use it in episode 2.

  • I...don't know if it would have been smart to hand over a deadly weapon to a mentally unstable 15 year old with a panic disorder.

    Then again, they let Nick keep his rifle after he shot Matthew with it so they're obviously pretty lax with their gun restrictions.

    I think that with teaching Sarah how to shoot Telltale wanted to show us that sometimes no matter what you do people will die eventually. Like Sarah. If you taught her how to shoot then she could defend herself but consider that in episode 4 she was damage. She lost her father and she was just lost.

  • Well you never know, it might have had something to do with whether or not Clem could convince Sarah to leave the trailer with her, Jane and Luke. Little things add up.

  • Sarah had anxiety, you can't blame her for who she is.

  • I think it was just telltalegames way of sneaking a reference to Lee in.

  • Thinking that someone isn't mentally stable enough to handle a gun =/= blaming them for their condition

  • Because we didnt teach her how to use a gun. not really

    Look at the context of the scene Sarah was messing around and playing with a camera and then went to be messing around with a gun, her entire attitude in that scene was that of playing around. In my opinion she wasnt really listening to clem at all, even if she was clem just showed her how to HOLD the gun and a bit of advice, Sarah never fired a bullet once. And anyway regardless of choice Sarah starts waving it around madly with again a kiddy attitude "What should I shoot?!"

    Lets say for sake of argument that she did remember the advice that was all before her dad died and she went into shock and shed never actually fired a gun.

    Well the point may be no matter what you do, how many precautions you take, might not be enough, to proove you can't save them all....

  • I thought Sarah would contribute with the walker attack on the deck in Amid The Ruins if you taught her self defence, but nobody gave her a gun and she was in no state to be holding a weapon. She would just stare at the gun and be shaking...

    I have no clue why Telltale included that in the game ...

  • It was just a moment to allow you to bond with her character and was an opportunity to make a few callbacks to S1.

  • You didn't actually get a chance to teach her though. All she did was pick up the gun and point it around a bit.

    But you can tell her it's not a toy, and advice on how to kill a walker based on what Lee said in "Long Road Ahead"

    e.g "Always aim for the head"

  • But she still waves it around saying "What should I shoot?!" And even then she still hasnt fired a bullet

  • Well, people who can use guns still die, the teaching part was probably just more of a character building thing.

  • Just because you do something doesn't mean it will effect the future outcomes.
