The Molly Scenario
Would you guys like to see a certain scenario (I dubbed the 'Molly Scenario'), in the game?
For those of you who may not have guessed it, I'll give you an example. Say Clementine runs out of ammo during the walker attack, and asks Sarah for some ammo, Sarah gives a certain amount depending if you're friends or not (If not 1-2 bullets, if so then her spare magazine - 10 bullets) the shooting goes on until Clementine is left with either one bullet left or 5 bullets.
There's tons more walkers approaching the group and they're far too busy handling them then to notice Sarah asking Clementine for help. Sarah is wrestling with the walker, but she is evidently becoming more weaker. So using the same aiming mechanic seen in 'A House Divided' you have to aim the gun at both Sarah and the walker who are still moving and shoot it in the head.
Shooting it in the head will save Sarah, shooting Sarah in the arm or leg will cause her to fall over and get eaten, shooting Sarah in the head will mean she is shot dead and you have to deal with the walker, and missing will once again cause Sarah to fall over and get eaten.
You can see now why this is called 'The Molly Scenario' so would you like to see this in the video game where your aiming skills means who lives and who dies?

I think people would be annoyed by the fact that that basically means turning a character into a determinant one. Still, I wouldn't mind some more challenging gameplay like that. Episode 4 of Season 1 was one of my favorites, and a lot of it was due to there being more combat situations. I know that's not the focus, but there's nothing wrong with a little action along with good storytelling.
Edit: Double post thanks to my dumb piece of crap internet.
With my aim Sarah would be screwed
Okay let's say if you miss someone else shoots the walker for you and Sarah is either mad at you if you weren't friends or sad that you couldn't help her even though you "pinky promised" to be friends. However if you shoot Sarah, then she's dead.
Can you actually shoot Molly in the head, to kill her?
In my 4 playthroughs, I never managed to shoot the zombie, little Clem had to do it for me :-)
I think it's more likely we'll see Jane wrestling a walker and if you taught Sarah about the gun she'll shoot the walker accurately,if not she just freeze while you have to do the work.
Naw
You're back!!!
Yep I arose on the third day like JESUS.
