Why i think cutting off her arm is the wrong choice.

Walker blood on the hatchet.

Now some might say "maybe they forgot about the blood getting into your bloodstream rule" but that's not true.

If they did forget then Clem wouldn't have left out half her face if she got hit by Troy.

She covers her entire face if she never got hit by Troy

So yeah they're aware of the walker blood getting in your bloodstream rule.

    In that case, the bite scene must be a test of how Clem reacts in that situation and nothing more since Sarita would be screwed either way.

    You know... I think that in such situation there is no time to think. Maybe they didn't forgot about this rule. Maybe this scene means that no matter what you do Sarita will probably die in episode 4. Either from a bite itself, loss of blood or from a disease because cutting off her arm won't change anything (Clem's weapon covered in walkers blood).

    Maybe they cut her arm off with a clean blade shortly after getting out of there.

    Well, the choice is called 'risk' for a reason.
  • MrSolomonMrSolomon
    Thinking about it, wouldn't Sarita simply pass out from the shock, pain and blood-loss? It might have been smarter to cut the arm off when they actually escaped the herd.
  • tauertauer
    But the choice will change how you, and others, see Clementine as a person.

    Yeah I was thinking about this too, even though I cut her arm off (which I kind of regret doing). Walker blood will definitely infect a person if a weapon with walker blood on it is used on them, Sarita is a goner for sure
  • InfiniteDawnInfiniteDawn
    Same thing with Luke, too. He covers half his face due to an injury.
  • Clemmy1Clemmy1
    Didn't Reggie have his arm cut off shortly after getting bitten and he lived ok,i hope Sarita survives but the shock and screaming and blood loss at the scene will probably cause her to get ripped to pieces by walkers,maybe it would of been better to leave the bite and treat it after she was safe from walkers?

    Well she made contact with the Walkers blood at the beginning so... We have to got the hole arm off in a half hour I believe... I think I must make another save file when I killed the walker and not cut the arm off

  • angrykurdangrykurd
    it is a situation, either you do or you don't in that moment there is no thinking about whether there is walker blood on your weapon or not. There is no rationalization on what to do, you just do it and take the consequences after.

  • Mr_EeussMr_Eeuss
    I agree. I actually think Sarita will end up dying if you cut her arm off and survive if you don't. As long as they find a safe place soon enough, cutting it off with a clean blade while everyone is more calm is way better than doing it with a blade covered in walker blood causing her to bleed and scream in the middle of a huge herd.

    Has walker blood being on a spot your bleeding been confirmed to do anything? Yes a walker bite kills you and if you die you come back but has simply getting their blood on you led to death? Because everyone carries the reanimation disease in them already Bites kill because some long dead thing is tearing into you.

    I do think if you chop it off walkers will just converge on her anyway with blood spurting everywhere.
  • SweetPeaClemSweetPeaClem
    I agree with you. Plus, they can't stop the bleeding in the middle of the herd.

    I thought she should have the right to decide for herself

    I think Sarita will die anyway, no matter how you played it.

    Fitting name for the chapter: "Risk"

    I think that she will die either way. TT made this choice with the consequences very much in mind, I believe. How will they handle her? They could take a look at the percentage of choices and choose to have the least popular be the "right one", just like I think they did for the watch. They could also have the outcome planned based on the in-universe rules and the risk of doing that in the middle of a horde, but I guess we will find out in two to three months from now.

    I personally thought that it was a *very* bad moment to do so, yet I cut her arm off. I took that risk with the best of intentions (as everyone did) to try and prevent someone else from dying as my Lee had; TT are cruel masters of fate, however, and deep down I am almost certain that I have doomed the poor woman.

    Hello, Katjaa 2.0. Here I thought you had more to your character.

    I dunno, it didn't have much blood on it and plus it spreads through the bite doesn't it? Not the blood.

    Kirkland has confirmed a lot of stuff but telltale doesn't always fully follow it.

    You certainly have a point but I'm not sure if the walker blood has the "virus" or whatever. I don't recall seeing any "hard" evidence of this. For instance, Negan took the muck from the walker's mouth, meaning that even he wasn't sure that blood could carry it. Does the blade have all kinds of dangerous and life threatening germs? Yes. Are Sarita's odds very low, considering the stupidly unsanitary conditions in which her limb was chopped? Definetely. Is her chance of making it higher than zero? Definetely as well.

    Remember Lee waited to cut his limb off, and he used tools that were supposedly clean. It would be very hard to get time and privacy while they're running from a herd, and we don't know how far the infection could've spread by then. Odds are she'll probably loose the limb either way, and I don't think Kenny's gonna wait to find a clean weapon anyway. The way I saw it at the time, and still do, is that cutting the arm is taking a long shot, but attacking the walker is giving up. It's a horrible and possibly hopeless choice, but I stand by what I did.
  • angrykurdangrykurd
    So it is saliva transported as well as already within the TWD universe human beings. The bite only accelerates the turning (perhaps by transferring the virus through saliva). In that case Sarita won't die of the "virus" but probably blood loss or shock, if she dies that is.
  • DoubleJumpDoubleJump
    To add onto the possibility that the walker blood may turn Sarita into a walker, she is in the middle of a zombie horde and screaming her head off. If they somehow make out of the herd of walkers there is still no one to patch it up except for maybe Mike since he had done it before... or Clementine. Good one on Telltale to hint at chopping an infected arm off, then surviving after hearing Reggie's story and making it seem possible in the heat of the moment.

    The thing about Lee and his axe in season 1 episode 2 is that I don't think they fully understood the walker virus until of course it was too late.
  • -I_Am_Clementine--I_Am_Clementine-
    Wouldn't the blood that got infected just pour out of the open wound?
  • Carley123Carley123
    Exactly, I think she might die of shock or possibly blood loss, but Clem cut it pretty far down.

    That's smart on Telltale's part.

    Risking getting a little walker blood into her open wound is better off than simply doing nothing at all.

    There's a pretty good chance that it could.

  • TWD_25TWD_25
    How are we gonna expect her to be able to walk X miles when we just cut off her arm? If they escape the herd quick enough they could cut her arm further up and give her some rest.
  • StephenPStephenP
    Personally I think Sarita will probably die either way but I don't think that there's absolutely no hope of survival, I mean, with the proper use of a tourniquet within the first five minutes should ensure the prevention of blood loss. What I would be more worried about would be the ensuing fight against infection (untreated death is pretty much ensured within a week maximum). Carver's group had presumably cleared out the immediate area around the store (did you see all dat food!?) so my guess is that medicine is a no no. As to the whole bloody weapon debate I'm siding with the only way to die from walker bite is through walker saliva. I'm also kind of hoping that the immediate bleeding after the arm is cut off is going to be enough to remove the infection! (yeah, kind of didn't want Sarita to die but Telltale aren't very sympathetic of when I get a direct kick in the feels)
  • FinnisherFinnisher
    Would you put filthy blood on your open wound for what could be hours? It's not the same as a few seconds' contact. The risk of infection (not related to the virus, just unsanitary) is much higher if the wound is covered up with the blood. There is no bloodstream rule, it's just the bite and scratches. At least having read the comics that is my strong opinion on this matter.

    The ramifications of the choice are: Sarita could do into a shock and then the walkers get her (if the hand is cut off). If you leave it, you risk not getting rid of it quickly enough but at least she has a better chance of surviving the herd. Either way, Sarita probably dies because the Kenny storyline seems to be a dark one and that would do the trick.
