Why do people make such a big deal about Nick?
His death cause such an uproar, even more so than Alvin and Carlos who actually has more major roles. Carlos is the doctor, take care of Sarah, Alvin has to take care of Rebecca and their baby. But I don't see people shitting their pants on these two. What was Nick's purpose? Nick is so irrelevant (from the group's point of view) that even Clem had no emotion slicing his head open.

From my point of you:Alvin died to save the group(He stayed at carver's office fighting.He died as a hero)Carlos died poorly,but he had a lot of lines at episode 3.Nick had like 4 lines at episode 3 and 0 lines at episode 4.Also nick died off-scene..This was preety f*cked and unfair for nick's fans.
Carlos and Alvin were fine for me, Carlos really needed to die for the plot, to create all the drama with Rebecca and sarah, Alvin is the best we can hope for from a determinant death.
Nicks was just stupid, I would of preferred he just get shot in the head by Tavia, at least it would be onscreen.
I'm happy someone else sees this besides me. I liked Nick, but his death didn't really affect me. I'm guessing his "lame" death is what most likely caused this uproar.
Yeah, Carlos and Alvin's death effected me more. The fact that Nick was already dead and a zombie took away some of the emotion of him being dead.
Me too, I don't have anything against Nick. But the thing about his fans wanted to boycott telltale is just ridiculous.
Nick got an offscreen death that had no dramatic element to it. He was one of my favorite characters and I could only express anger when finding him as a walker. Carlos's death was unexpected and dramatic, while Alvin either died in a dramatic matter as well, being shot by Carver, or he dies a hero, protecting Clementine and buying her more time by killing the dude that comes into Carver's room.
Nick doesn't get a good send-off due to poor writing and extreme laziness, and after he's dead, he gets an "Oh shit" or something from Luke, and a sob from Rebecca, then is completely forgotten by the others. As others have said as well, he had hardly any lines in Episode 3, and none in Episode 4 IIRC, so he was pretty much just along for the ride until an inevitable, lazy death.
