Choices you're surprised the majority didn't make
In Season one and two. Are there any choices that you found easy to make and you later found out, to your surprise, that most people didn't make them?
For me it's the choice in episode one of season one to give the bitten girl your gun and let her end her life. That choice was incredibly easy for me. She wasn't going to be cured and she wanted to put an end to her suffering, and I respected that. I had my Lee stay with her until the end and thought it was very poignant. I was super surprised to see that such a small percentage of players did the same!
Have you guys had this experience?

Also, sparing the St. John in the barn, showing the group the bite, not trying to kill Larry, forgiving Lilly, not stealing from the station wagon.
Should have been a 100% take Clem with you statistic.
-Omid might turn
-There's a stalker after her that knows the location of the house
-She's already escaped the house and followed Lee before
-If the group gets captured or killed she's screwed anyway.
Now if the other option was to leave her in the care of the other cancer survivors, then I might have considered it.
The huge one-sidedness of Carley over Doug was also odd, but she got waaay more screen time, was on the mission with you, reeked of love interest AND seemed more useful (marksmanship over... mechanical ability? I'm not sure what exactly they were trying to sell Doug as). I expected the choice to be more 50/50 when I first played through though...
I was surprised that it was split with killing the St. John brothers... popular to kill Danny but unpopular to kill Andy? I killed neither but it was strange to me that people were generally willing to kill one but not the other.
I also talked down Kenny on the train, don't know why that was unpopular...
Surprising to me that most players saved Ben considering how generally hated he was..
I was surprised on how many people cut Lee's arm off, given that at this point it was pretty obvious that as a determinant character he'd die either way. I guess people were hoping for multiple endings?
Absolutely STUMPED me why 75% (according to the wikia) lied to Leland about Dee. Also didn't make sense why there was such a preference for Justin over Danny in Vince's story... I pretty much just flipped a coin because neither of them made a strong impression on me at all.
Thought it was pretty funny that most people saved Pete instead of Nick, because Pete was clearly bitten. Although the setup of Nick still having ammo and just being generally less likable at that point didn't help him.
Last one... I didn't think twice about taking the blame for the picture of Sarah. Thought it was weird that most people didn't.. what did they think would happen exactly? Excommunication from the group?
This is definitely the most surprising to me.
But yeah, compared to all the other fights, that one was particularly hard. Many people I've talked to about that actually didn't know that killing the stranger yourself was even an option!
season 1:
1.Giving the bitten girl the gun: to take a line from the game, I was showing mercy.
2.Killing both st john brothers: they were cannibals, I repeat fucking CANNIBALS.
3.Killed Jolene instead of Danny killing her: she was threatening to shoot Lee's balls(lol), and I thought she planned to kidnap Clem.
4.Talked Kenny down on train: I didn't think getting in a fight with him would help at all.
5.Killed the stranger: He kidnapped Clem, and he was crazy. Didn't want to let him kidnap some other innocent girl to "complete" his family.
400 Days:
1.Shot Justin's foot off instead of Danny's: Justin seemed like the kind of guy that would stab you in the back.
2.Killed Stephanie, instead of leaving: Roman's camp had safety, shelter, meds, food, weapons etc. I wasn't about to let that go, and Becca was on her way to being a ruthless killer anyway.
3. Stayed with Nate, and let him kill the old couple: they were shooting at us, I also thought I could talk Nate out of it if I was more compliant.
4. Didn't lie to Leland about Dee: He deserved to know the truth.
season 2:
1.Didn't give bandit water: I wasn't going to give him anything after separating Clem and Christa.
2.Saved Pete, instead of Nick: He needed my help, and I thought we could amputate. We should've amputated godammit! :'(
3.Didn't accept Nick's apology: I know he didn't mean to, but he was only a couple inches away from shooting Clem. I'm gonna need a lot more than just a "sorry, I went kinda agro" to forgive him.
4.Blamed someone else for Sarah taking pictures: I wasn't about to have Clem take the blame for something she had no part of. Sarah's a big girl.
5. Left to find Kenny: I knew Carver wouldn't kill Carlos, he needed him to deliver the baby. Also, I thought Kenny could help.
6. Didn't help Sarah with her chores: she was just trimming leaves and berries. It is not that hard to do.
7. Didn't tell Bonnie about Luke: I didn't trust her to keep her mouth shut about it.
yeah...I thought my decisions made a lot of sense and were pretty logical, I was surprised to see that others thought differently.
For some reason it said alot of people fought him...on Xbox anyway.
People who didn't kill Stranger also surprised me - if you don't do it, Clementine will. Even on my "good" playthrough I couldn't let Clementine do it, to murder a human being, regardless of Stranger's actions.
I know Carver was a bad man, really bad, but I don't see any reason for Clem to watch this "big show". Carver wanted that, to make her emotionless badass killer and I don't intend to make his last moments a little bit happier...so think whatever you want, I know that for me leaving with Sarita was the right thing.
* Letting Lily in the RV. I think % 76 players saved Carley. I couldn't left her behind. But thinking what other players could do to her I thought; "Ohohoo girl. You're doomed!" I'm glad that I'm not the only one who dİdn't lost their battle against their anger.
* Shooting Lee. After witnessing that heartbroken ending, I started to look other peoples choices on YouTube. "They're not gonna let her shoot him, right? RIGHT?!" EVERYBODY shot Lee. I was like; "Well, s**t." Thankfully later me and % 36 players appeared. But I think the first days of "No Time Left" % 86 players made sure Lee didn't turn.
* Fighting with Kenny. "Yeah, that guy is a total racist redneck but man, he is having a bad times. I should calm him down." Later I checked the stats. Nope. "% 55 players fought with Kenny. "
* Saving Nick instead of Pete. (At first.) What? He was the only guy with Luke who believed me. Hell naw! I'm not going to lose another Lee. (White version at least.)
I think one of the big things that got me was the percentage that didn't cut off Lee's arm and those who stole from the Station Wagon. I cut off Lee's arm to keep hope alive for me, but alas he dies from blood loss! I didn't choose to steal from the station wagon because I wanted to side with Clem, and I thought of myself in that person's shoes, coming back to see all of your supplies gone.
I was amazed to see I was in the major minority for not telling Bonnie about Luke. was like 29%..
I think most of us know from 400Days that Bonnie isnt exactly a bad-person, but the only thing Clem know's is Bonnie was a scout, got some food, then returned with Carver and the others with weapons and kidnapped the entire group.
Why would Clem give her information?? Sure Bonnie is acting nice, but what's to say she wouldnt run off and tell Carver??
By the end of the episode, I do trust Bonnie a little more, but at that time I didnt trust her at all..
Mash the "Q", mash the "Q", mash it all the way
Just to kill that Stranger guy after what he's got to say
She was just a scared teenager trying to be tough in front of the adults.
