    Oh, alright. That wasn't my main motive for choosing him anyways :P

  • I feel pretty safe in saying that at least most of the people who don't help Kenny do so because they feel it's the wrong choice. What's the exact wording of the Larry stat? Does it show who helped to kill Larry or who tried to revive him?

    Doesn't really show that they think it's the wrong decision I've known some people who agree with what kenny says yet they can't do it themselves

  • No need to be like that.

    Protecting your family is fine, but it's his methods and blatant disregard for everyone else that's the problem. I could understand him letting someone die if it were a Doug/Carley situation between a member of his family and someone else. However, I'm talking more about situations like the one at the lodge. He wanted to save Sarita, and possibly Clem-that's fine. What's not fine is shooting at people with automatic weapons. Even if he took that one guy out, there were others who might retaliate with violence against the people inside. If you sneak out to find him, you can even point this out. He disregards it, Walter gets killed, and Carver clearly states his intention of killing people until he surrenders. Kenny doesn't care. As long as it's not Sarita or Clem, he'll keep shooting, and in doing so, keep letting innocent people die for no real reason.

    So are you telling me that protecting your family isn't the right decision? It's a zombie apocolypse, even Luke knows that the most importan

    No, that's not true. If you tell Kenny to stop shoting and think about Sarita he will stop and Alvin will survive.

    The point is, Kenny didn't just surrender and let himself get captured. He tryed to save Sarita/Clem and all the others.

    I told Kenny to shot Carver, because he told me that he thinks he can do it! (Even though i didn't think Telltale would just kill Carver of like this)

  • That's what I just said. He only stops shooting because you bring up Sarita.

    Except Kenny WASN'T trying to save the others, just Clem and Sarita. He knew after Walter died that Carver meant business. It didn't matter if he hit Carver or killed him-there were at least two other armed people in there, who could easily kill everyone in response to their leader dying.

  • Because Kenny is horrid. His voice actor is cool, and he's written well, but he has less justification for his evil actions than any other character in the game. I just can't stand him.

    And Nick is the exact opposite of that... With the exception of shooting Matthew, but he was losing it a bit at that point, so I forgive him.

  • Carver was the ringleader, and if Kenny had been able to actually kill him, the situation might have been resolved right there. Both Troy and Bonnie just freeze up when he goes down. Killing Carver, in the long run, would solve more problems than it creates. He screwed up when he shot Johnny, but his only failing if he shoots Carver is not getting the bastard in the head.

    While Kenny will surrender if Sarita has a gun to her head, he also surrenders if Clem does. Which is why I'd go on alone if he got to Sarita first. He'd follow me, no matter how much he may hate it, because Clem would be in danger and he considers Clem as family now.

    Would Kenny know that, however? Carver might have been shouting out their demands, but obviously someone would have to in that situation. He even refers to the guy Kenny kills as "our" man, as opposed to "my" man. Also, consider their location. Just running away would hardly be ideal for Bonnie and that other guy, and Kenny outside would have made it impossible to leave. If Carver has instilled the belief that it's an eye for an eye, there's really no reason to assume the remaining bad guys wouldn't just kill everyone inside the lodge.

    It was not murder. Larry was already dead. Was it possible to resuscitate him? Yes, but there was only a very small amount of time to do so before he would turn into a walker. It's entirely different from the cabin group-Clem situation. It's an apples to oranges comparison.

    Kenny has shown us a ton. Hes a relatively good shot, and very strong willed. He keeps his head in tough situations. I don't think I even need to list his accomplishments from season 1, its obvious that he had some. With Nick however, he has honestly done nothing but screw up. There isn't really any reason to have confidence in him at all.

    Larry was not already dead-not really. He had collapsed and wasn't breathing, but that didn't mean he could just be written off as dead. And you say that, but from the point of view of the cabin group, Clem was bitten and only had a small amount of time before she'd become a walker.

    For me, it's the exact opposite. Kenny's too strong-willed. If you ever disagree with him, he holds it against you. Even if you help him and the people he loves out a lot, he'll act like it's nothing if you ever don't go along with him or do something he disagrees with. He also puts his loved ones above everyone else, to a ridiculous extent. I can't trust someone who will let everyone else die just to try and save one person, even if said person is not in any immediate danger.

    Nick being less capable is part of the reason I'd want to go with him-so I could make sure he survives and doesn't do anything reckless. And I trust him a lot more than Kenny. He cares more about people.

    He was not breathing and he did not have a pulse. He was dead. The cabin group comparison doesn't make sense here. The situations are completely different. They obviously did not know what Clem's status was. If she was in fact bitten, they would start to see signs of the disease setting in and would have time to act on it. It's not like she would just randomly turn into a walker without warning and then proceed to attack them. The cabub group was not in any immediate danger what so ever, and they were armed with weapons. In the Larry situation, the group was stuck in a small room with a dead guy who could turn into a walker at any given moment. The group was totally unarmed. They were in grave immediate danger. I could go on an on about how the two situations are different. There really are not any direct similarities.

    You're exaggerating about Kenny always holding disagreements against you. That isn't true. The only sole decision that causes him to completely turn on you is if you refuse to help him in the meat locker. I find that completely understandable though. You're essentially screwing him over by refusing to help.

    He doesn't put his loved ones ahead of everyone else to a ridiculous extent. The only time he ever let anyone down in order to save his family was back on Hershel's farm when he didn't try to help Shawn. That being said, he felt incredibly bad about it and realized that he had screwed up.

  • Of course Kenny would know he was the ringleader. He was the guy shouting demands, he was the guy who executed Walt. It's not that hard to figure out. The location doesn't matter, as Bonnie and Troy (the other guy) could have just surrendered, they don't have to run anywhere if they want to live. As for killing everyone in the lodge, that would be a dumb decision on their part. If they killed everyone, then Kenny would have no reason to surrender. The hostages were leverage, and without it Bonnie and Troy would just sit inside the lodge until they starved or Kenny picked them off.

    I really don't want this to turn into a strictly Kenny thread.

    Larry was not definitely dead for sure. The cabin group, like Kenny, believed that Clementine would soon reanimate. Not all bite victims show signs before turning-for all they knew, she had died while unconscious.

    I'm not exaggerating. Kenny holds grudges. He also quickly dismisses Molly saving his life, asking what she has done for him lately.

    Kenny ALWAYS puts his loved ones ahead of everyone else to a ridiculous extent. The meat locker, the lodge...both are prime examples.

    As I said, shouting the demands and carrying out the executions mean nothing. Kenny can't hear what is being said between the three. Even in a group of equals, someone has to be the one that voices the demands-there's no way to be certain that person is the leader. Kenny doesn't even have a way to be sure one of the others didn't tell Carver to carry out the executions.

    There's no reason to believe the remaining bad guys would surrender, though, especially after Walter has been killed. It's clear they're willing to kill, and since they already have, they've no reason to assume surrendering would result in them being spared. There are no real prisons or anything anymore.

    He was as close to dead as you can possibly get. Again, he was not breathing, and he did not have a heartbeat. There was a chance that he could get brought back, but for all sakes and purposes he was dead. I mean, I guess he wasn't necessarily dead in the for sure permanent sort of way.. but he was gone. He was mere minutes from coming back as a walker as soon as he hit the ground.

    The cabin group did not believe that Clem would soon reanimate. You really like to assume things..

    The meat locker isn't a legitimate example of Kenny putting his loved ones ahead of everyone else for reasons I already explained. He was trying to save everyone in that meat locker, and that is shown in the dialogue I provided earlier. The lodge isn't a very good example either, as his strategy was simply poor there. If you tell him to stop shooting, he stops.

    Doesn't change the fact that killing Larry like that was just murder. Plenty of people see it that way, and it's certainly a perfect reason not to want to go with him.

    Yes, the cabin group did expect Clementine to reanimate-they thought she was bitten and had been through someone bitten suddenly reanimating and attacking.
