No. I don't f***ing forgive you Jane!
Now, at the end of episode 5, I shot Kenny, and I stand by what I did. Kenny was pressing the knife against Jane's chest, so I shot him. That's not what I'm here to discuss. I'm guessing most people have at least one play or replay where they did this by now.
What bugged me was that, when you find AJ, the only choices you're given are the loner ending choice (something like "I´m not staying with you") and "I forgive you, Jane." This really pest me off. I mean, I suspected AJ was alive, but when it was confirmed, I was very angry at Jane. However, when I thought about it, I didn't want Clem to be alone (even if she's immortal, I wasn't what I'd consider the "logical" choice for an eleven year old carrying a baby around).
See, even if I wanted to stick with Jane, I was very far from having forgiven her! I almost went alone, just because of this line. My Clem was really close to Kenny and I was very saddened by his death. I stood by him the entire season, and supported him in nearly everything until that scene. I wish there was a line like "Well, I'm stuck with you now", even if they kept the "I forgive you" line (I'm sure there's a lot of Kenny haters out there). It didn't seem like my Clem would just forgive Jane right away. Maybe with time she would, but not one minute after shooting Kenny.

This is my thoughts to. I was pissed and I wanted to say as much. But I wanted to give Jane a 2nd chance.
Apparently you can still rail on her and go with her. But sometimes its not clear when the options are right there as you're playing.
I think if you choose nothing you don't forgive her and just walk off with her.
I forgave Jane because I wanted to, but I understand your point of view.
The "I'm stuck with you" option would have been cool for people who didn't like what Jane had done, yet didn't want clem to raise a baby by herself during the zombie apocalypse.
They should have probably given us a "kill jane" option too (because you can actually kill kenny after the fight, so that would have been right I guess).
This episode is replayable as hell!
I wasn't sure, but I might replay this scene just to change this.
I would've never picked the [Kill Jane] in my original playthrough, but I'd also never complain about having too many choices.
Sex should be like a health potion in videogames.
[To SwagBeast] I know. That's how it works in real life.
Shooting Kenny was one of the hardest decisions I had to make throughout the entirety of The Walking Dead game. I doubted Jane had killed AJ or left him behind but as soon as she said "Watch." I did and I saw the monster Kenny had become. I waited out the entire length of time before I chose to shoot him. I was so sorry that I did. After we said goodbye, Jane showed me AJ was still alive. I grilled Jane so bad for antagonizing a man on the edge. She begged for forgiveness, I gave none and for the first time my Clementine uttered the word 'fuck.' Jane was left behind and Clem and AJ went forth on their own following the advice Lee had given her, the same advice she told Kenny in the truck.
"Don't trust anyone."
EDIT: Misread your post, sorry. I said the exact same thing you did.
If you say nothing you walk away with her, but probably in season 3 (if they continue Clem story) they will say that you forgave her.
Yeah, I told her she was crazy and let the timer run out, because like you, I hadn't forgiven her yet. I loved Kenny.
I was going to shoot Kenny as well but... I couldn't do it, the choice of "look away" was exactly how I was feeling and I was angry with Kenny afterwards but what Jane did was moronic.
Completely agree. I wanted Clementine to scream at Jane for what she did. I only "forgave" her so Clem wouldn't be alone with a baby.
Yeah, I didn't want to leave her, but I didn't want to forgive her either. She's gonna have to work hard to get my forgiveness back.
This entirely. When the option I came up, my thoughts were "I don't think Clem is gonna be able to make it on her own...especially with AJ." So of course, I had to choose the forgive option.
I wanted to fine AJ during the fight bring him over and yell "Here is AJ hope you all are happy together. I dont need this crap!" then walk away alone
I agree completely. My Clem is loyal to her friends till the end, like she said in season 1 "we don't leave friends behind". Shooting Kenny was really hard and quite traumatic. I felt betrayed by Jane, but I didn't want Clem on her own either. If season 3 has any interaction between Clem and Jane (if you got that ending) I hope they have options to be distant and untrusting with her. Kind of how Tyrees responds to what carol did in the show.
"Forgive, but never forget"
All happy together... for about 20 minutes, when Jane and Kenny start fighting again...
Completely agree.
Was curious as to the possible negative consequences associated with neglecting to convey the mistrust developed from being so purposefully and absolutely harshly manipulated into murder.
I was loyal to Kenny til the very bitter end. I understand the need to resolve emotional conflict for the freshest seasonal start but TTG goes against that grain sorta.
My game sits paused as I arrive at Howe's due to the slight unease from my Clem's nonchalant forgiveness after forced murder and humane adoption.
Slithering Jane..
R.I.P Kenny.
To both parties,
forgiven though not forgotten.
