Could you kill...

edited April 2014 in The Walking Dead

Could you kill Kenny if it came down to it. Saritas death is a predictable thing to happen and could you end Kenny's life if he snapped. For example, a scenario I could see happening is Carver killing Sarita during a fight between the cabin group and Carver's group. Then, an opportunity of escape arrives and everyone wants to take it; however, Kenny wants everyone to stay to avenge Sarita and threatens everyone to stay and you have the option to shoot Kenny in the leg and leave with the cabin group (leaving Kenny to die by carver) or potentially risking the whole group by letting Kenny have his way. This is just an example but my question is: If Kenny snapped and was a danger to everyone, could you kill him?

  • I could.
    But for Clem think it would need a more extreme situation than that.

  • I could, I have very little attachment to him at all. I think he brings too much conflict and unpredictability to the group, and has already gotten 2 likeable people killed on my game because he was too stupid to know when to stop.

  • Jeez... I don't know really. I mean... it depends on the situation. It could be hard for me but if it would be necessary then I could do it... with some doubts but... yeah.

  • I could. For clementine.

  • I definitely wouldn't shoot him in the leg in your scenario you proposed, since I don't see why everyone couldn't just leave Kenny to his mission without maiming him first. If he wants to avenge Sarita, he can go right ahead, but the cabin group and I don't have any desire to avenge someone we barely know.

    More generally, it depends how far over the edge he is. Trying to get revenge for Sarita doesn't strike me as being particularly crazy. Unless he starts harming/threatening people in the group to get his way, I wouldn't kill him just because he's a danger. But if it does get to the point where he's randomly attacking people, then sure yeah I'd kill him.

  • I said he threatens the group and what I meant by that was pointing a gun at them. I imagined Kenny shaking a lot and pointing the gun at them saying nobody's going anywhere until we avenge my girl. I agree the thought of avenging someone you care about isn't crazy but threatening others to get your vengeance is a bit on the insane side.

  • No.

    At least, not if I couldn't have someone other than Clementine do it. She really doesn't need the death of another one of her guardians weighing on her conscience

  • Ah. I see. Well if it's actually impossible to reason with him and impossible to disarm or neutralize him without shooting him in the leg, then yes, I would do that.

  • I could but I would probably cry afterwords.

  • I'd gladly do it.

  • Hell, if it was real life, and I had to, like he was threatening to kill others of the group, I'd take him out. But, I don't think I could with Clem, killing an old friend really fucks with your head.

  • It depends. If he was a danger like Ben was... i'd have to say no, because I kept Ben as well and don't regret it. Although if he was actually trying to kill people, i'd have to say yes. This would be possibly one of the most difficult decisions in the game.

  • No, I couldn't. Clem and Kenny can beat the shit out of Carver together as far as i'm concerned.

  • "Just...look at the flowers, Kenny. Look at the flowers."

  • The results are actually pretty even. I'm not sure if I could kill Kenny to be honest. I agreed with him on every point besides the salt lick and bens fate and he was still my bro until the end. I'm hoping if Sarita does die, he will be able to cope with that and hopefully we will have the option as clementine to help maintain his mental stability.

  • ForClementine

    I could. For clementine.

  • I probably wouldn't, in game at least. Going rambo into Carver's community is probably what I would suggest too lol. :D But if it was in real life, I probably would, if I felt he was really a danger to me and others in the group.

  • Nah, what made you think that? I don't hate him, but I'm not very attached to him either, so I wouldn't mind killing him if he was putting Clem and the rest of the group in danger.

  • I have some Gameplay/Real Life segregation going on in my head at all times when I play the game, so I'd probably be much less reluctant to off him in the game. In real-life? I dunno. Honestly, if there was the choice, I'd let him do it by himself, since I don't personally hold much attachment to him, since for me, he died in the alley, and his unhingedness now seems like a liability.

    I think whether or not Clementine would do it depends on what choices Lee made, such as killing Larry, having her shoot him, etc.

    You know, I'd be downright pissed if there isn't a reasonable explanation given for not being allowed to just leave a character alone. Like, It's annoying that in the first game, Irene notices the gun even if you choose to leave, and she ends up shooting herself anyway.

  • Just look at the boats Kenny. Look at the boats!

    But in all seriousness now, i could never kill my Bro Kenny!

    Yes I'm Kenny's biggest fan but if he threatens Clem life it's gameover for any character she comes first. But personally my Clem Rambo(clembo) could kill Carver anyway if I had the decision to stay and fight I would I fully believe in Clems abilities to beat Carver as Lee said she smarter then anyone. But if Kenny threatens or touches Clem his getting shot in the head.

  • im gonna help kenny put that fucker down.

  • Nah i wouldn't.In season 1 i agreed with Kenny alot cuz Kenny's decisions which most of the most of the time was logical.Let's say Kenny killed Carlos or somebody else ,I would just egg him on or have nothing to do with him and leave him.I just wouldn't kill Kenny(a character I really like)becaus e he killed or pose a threat to somebody i've known for two episodes.Sorry if you guys disagree but i wouldn't do it unless he was provoking Clem

  • Nope. Honestly I don't trust either group enough for them to be a deciding factor on Kenny's fate. Kenny was willing to sacrifice himself in Season One (either Ben or Christa scenario) so Lee could get to Clem, regardless of Lee and Kenny's relationship. I don't think Kenny has lost that part of himself, if anything seeing Clem again might have reaffirmed this. If Telltale decides to vilify Kenny where he completely loses it and threatens Clem and only Clem, then my decision would change.

  • Absolutely, and that's probably not too far off from what will happen anyway.

  • Holy fuck no.IF He's a massive danger to the group and clem,I would.But I would still find it hard to do that

  • My Lee and Kenny had "friendship issues" after S1E2. Even though the bastard LEFT ME FOR DEAD and DIDN'T sign up to save Clementine in E5, ending his life would be hard on Clem's conscious and my own.

  • Yes, please.

  • Epic, I was the tie breaker! At last, I have accomplished something!

    I voted yes. As much as I may like Ken, I'm not letting him risk the entire cabin group. I'd gladly leave him behind to avenge Sarita provided he let everyone go their own way instead of forcing them with him, though. He's just one guy, not worth an entire group of people by a long shot.

    Look at the flowers, Kenny.

    (I considered changing "flowers" to "boats," but it feels too soon.)

    (and on a serious note, it would probably be too hard for me. But if he becomes a danger to Clementine and whatever is left of the group by then, it's hard to say.)

  • Hell no ! i could never kill kenny my bro :o

  • If Kenny is going to die, I'm going to die with him, he was my brother in Season 1 and he will still be my brother in Season 2, I would never shoot him or hurt him, if he's really going crazy I would talk sense into him or I would leave him IF he's really going crazy but otherwise I would still backing him up.

  • The moment Kenny gets killed is the moment I stop playing this game.

  • From the moment he saved me back at the pharmacy I was like "If he dies, I'm rewinding".
    I think I only sided against him for a total of one time so no, when it comes down to it, I would not kill him.

  • It depends on the situation. If it's like the situation you described in the OP, then that would be a tough one. There is no way I would risk the whole group for one guy, but I wouldn't want to kill him for it. I understand he wants to avenge Sarita, and I would let him, but he's not dragging us with him. If I could do what I want, well, I've got a gun. Might as well threaten him back. I'd use the gun, back away until we get to the escape, then leave with the group. If he shoots one of the members, that's when I shoot him back. And I highly doubt he's actually gonna shoot Clementine; he is very close to her, and he's already lost his family, and Sarita. If he did shoot her... I don't even want to think about that.

    But if I had no choice but to choose one or the other in the situation from the OP... Then, as much as I would hate to say it... Yes. I would shoot him. But I really, really, REALLY hope it doesn't come down to that. It would just shatter my heart to pieces, and I think Clementine is probably gonna snap because of it. I seriously hope it doesn't come down to this.
