"I'll do it"
I noticed that in Episode 3 of Season 1 that if Lee says he'll put Duck down, you don't get the short scene of watching Katjaa walk into woods while you can comfort Kenny.
You get the scene if you say Kenny/Katjaa should do it or stay silent, but not when Lee says he'll do it. Why do you think this is? Are Katjaa and Kenny extremely opposed to Lee putting him down? I figured I would be helping Kenny but maybe the right thing is to give him the strength to do it himself.
*Also, what does Kenny say in season 2 about Duck and Lee if Kenny was the one who put him down?

i don't remember a lot about that scene in season 1, gotta replay it again.
in s2 kenny says something like "when he helped me do the right thing..."

If you tell them that you will do it, they will both appreciate you'r help and walk into the woods with Duck to say their goodbyes.
If you tell them that Kenny should be the one to shot Duck, Kenny will agree with you and Katja will dissagree and tells Kenny that she will do it and because of that, she walks into the woods alone. If you tell them that Katja should do it, the same thing will happen.
If you decided to let Kenny shot Duck instead of yourself, he will tell Clem that Lee was there for him when his son died and helped him do the right thing.
I hope i could answer all your questions!
Thank you for the thorough explanation! It makes a lot of sense why the scene plays out differently now, I ultimately think that it is better for Kenny to be the one to do it now.
Well, it's hard to say what's the better thing to do in this situation. In my opinion, i did do the right thing when i decided to shot Duck myself. Duck was bitten and died a horrible death and Katja had just commited suicide. My Bro Kenny was going though hell at this momment and i didn't want him to suffer even more. But i think everyone has his own opinion on this choice.
I also wanna mention that i decided to shot Duck myself, but i did decided to let Kenny shot the boy in the attic.
It is indeed one of the toughest choices in season 1. I think that in my first playthrough I had Kenny shoot Duck and then I killed the boy in the attic, and upon subsequent playthroughs I pulled a 180 and decided to shoot Duck and then have Kenny kill the other boy.
Even though my views changed eventually I still think I did the right thing too... at least at the time. Maybe when I said "I'll do it" and Katjaa said that a stranger shouldn't be the one to put him down it really stuck with me.
RIP Duck
RIP Duck, i will never forget the awsome mystery we solved together, you are and will always be my Robin!
By the way, did you know that it is possible to just go away and let Duck turn into a Walker? It's horrible and i really hope noone actualy did this in their playthoughs, but it's possible!

Awesome, thank you!
I knew that could happen but would never leave him to turn. Man, I wonder what Kenny says in this instance? Would be a heavy burden to bear knowing that your son is either roaming and eating people or got put down by a stranger..
I feel you, for some reason the entire episode 3 was really foggy for me even a while after I beat the game. I think its partially because I was so emotional and partially because that led me to drink whisky IRL
I can also help you out with this problem!
I was wondering about that aswell, so i tryed it out. Kenny will say that " Lee was there for him when his son died and helped him do the right thing " , so basically the same thing that he said when he was shoting him. Looks like lazy Telltale just made 2 possible outcomes of this.
Ah I see.. Its probably because not many people actually let Duck turn, which would also explain why there is still blood behind his head even if you leave him
Yes, the blood on the tree is one of this other " Lazy Telltale " momments!
You already know about this aswell, but i will Post it in case you don't. The Duck-pocalypse!

haha, I think it was because I was felling really down after that too
but also it's been a while since the last time I played season 1, and the second season keeps banging on my had right now
I wonder which choice is actually the right choice in that situation as well. Let Kenny live with knowing he couldn't stop his own son from becoming a zombie or get Kenny to shoot his son and refuse to do it for him? It doesn't seem like either choice is really right.
I thought for a long time that Lee doing it would be better for him, but Kenny really needed FINAL closure. Lee putting Duck down could make him question what kind of father he was if he couldn't take care of him himself. Although it is much tougher on the guy in the short run, I think making him do the deed is the true final goodbye he was looking for. At least he knows HE handled it.
I have a one year old son and the thought of losing him or having to put him down is the most terrifying, heart-wrenching, and soul-destroying thing that could possibly happen to me. But if it did happen, I would value a friend who would help me bring about closure and do what is right for my boy. If somebody put him down just so I didn't have to I would probably feel completely helpless and chickenshit.
COMIC SPOILERS
Oh crap. I remembered that in the comic, Morgan chooses to keep his son as a walker and can't bring himself to put him down. He thinks that keeping his son alive is the "right thing". I really hope this is not how Kenny thinks of this situation. I am really glad that I helped him do what needed to be done.
What happens if you left Duck to reanimated?
The video above you is what happens
It's heartening to know that I'm not the only one who shoulders his Walking Dead feels with alcohol!
Same here! One of the most overlooked pleasures one can enjoy during the apocalypse is the occasional nip of whisky with a friend...
Oh, stupid me. Thx
Yeah, that's what I think, but then I also wonder if Kenny would ever realize it. Clearly it is the defining moment in the relationship between Kenny and Lee since it's what Kenny mentions, the one good thing he mentions, even if Lee is a complete dick to Kenny. But he still shows the same gratitude towards Lee whether he gets Kenny to do it or does it for Kenny, so I don't know.
Yeah, its definitely the defining moment. Kenny and I had mad beef at the time because I didn't help him in the meatlocker, and I didn't trust him with Lee's secret, so part of me was afraid he would twist the situation and resent Lee for 'killing his son'. I had to offer though, and he agreed immediately. Our beef died with Duck.
Rest in peace, Duck.
Burn in Hell, Kenny & Lee's beef.
Yep lol.
True but he also says that he feels like he couldn't help his boy later in the attic. Idk, maybe I just feel like closure is the best for poor Kenny. I think its very difficult to determine what is the "best" thing to do, the "right" thing is obviously to put him down but its just the matter of how.
Thats a cool experience you just described, thanks for sharing. I never had real beef with Kenny since I always had Duck's back and I helped kill Larry. It is interesting that you might view the situation as helping him out and burying the hatchet deep, and I am reasoning that since Kenny was my friend I would want him to be strong and take care of his son.
Yeah, it's certainly confusing.
