A personal complaint to Telltale
First off, I just want to say (again) how this is the best game i've ever expirenced.
But, there is one thing that I have been struggling with since the season two finale.
I shot Kenny and left with Jane but I just couldnt believe that Clem would walk away and allow Kenny to turn.
In the scene, Clem shoot's Kenny in the chest, they have their short talk, then Kenny dies. I just can't imagine that Clem would leave Kenny to become a walker. She could have shot him in the head or perhaps used Jane's knife before they left. Clem could have even said something like "wait a second, I have to do something" walked back to Kenny and make sure he doesnt turn.
They have too much history even if Clem felt Kenny was losing it. It's something that "my" Clem would have done and I was shocked when that option was never given.
The same could have happened with Jane, but definately "should" have happened with Kenny.
[Leave Kenny to Turn] or [Prevent Kenny from Turning]
The only reason I could guess you did not include this option is if you intend to show us a Kenny walker in the future.
Thank you!!

The other reason they didn't show this is because AJ started crying.
Clementine shoots him in the side, not the chest.
That decision would be a very good addition after kenny dies and before AJ starts crying
exactly, she could have done it just after he died, or even before they walk away to Howes.
Another possible reason is that it wasn't lethal but he went in a shock and returns in season 3 and he shall judge upon you, seeing that AJ is still alive.
maybe your right, to me it looked like lower chest, either way, it was a kill shot but it would allow Kenny to turn.
Same, I agree. I think they should have given us the option to shoot them or leave them to turn.
I'd happily leave Jane to turn.
Same.
high fives
Man, this annoyed the hell out of me.
I think it should have been an option for the players, some dislike Kenny enough to let him turn and that's reasonable for their own reason's but I just think Clem would have put Kenny down like that out of compassion and respect for him. They gave us the option to do this for Sam the dog, but not Kenny? I just can't believe that unless, they have a specific reason in mind.
I disagree, after episode 4 I despised Kenny, so I didn't care whether he turned or not.
I think it's because it would ruin the moment of the scene.
Even if you despised it, other players might have felt that killing Kenny was for his own good, and that he was losing it. It was a mercy kill in a sense for some people, and they wanted to end it entirely. They should have left that option up so players can choose.
Good that you disagree.. A lot would which is why I said I feel Telltale should have allowed us the option at least.
Not sure of joking or serious.
I wouldn't have let Jane turn. I hate her, but I also put the stranger down after strangling him.
It's one thing to hate someone, but a totally different to leave them to turn into flesh-eating monsters.
They didn't show Omid, Kenny or Jane reviving because apparently sticking to the 'rules' of the world would sabotage the "feels". Or something similarly dumb.
I'd have shot either in the head if they were dead, just to be pragmatic. The only person I allowed to reanimate out of spite was the Stranger, and god that was satisfying.
Why do people care that he turns into a walker (not trying to insult, just curious)? He is dead or the other choice Jane. Dead is still dead even if you turn into a zombie it's not the person you once were. I can understand if you think that maybe their soul is still trapped in the zombie husk or they are still that person just a disease that took over their brain, but just take a look at all the other zombies that Clementine has seen. Why not kill them all as well, if they are in the same boat as Kenny? Just move on and be happy that we got to say goodbye.
Because for a lot of people, seeing someone they know turn into a walking corpse is an insult to their memory? And that being a zombie is not only dangerous to other people, but also a pretty gruesome fate?
It's why I had Clem shoot Lee. It's better to know that he's dead rather than a mindless husk that's wandering around hungering for innocent flesh.
Yeah, it would have been a nice choice.
I would have stopped him turning, as he could end up killing someone who was actually nice.
Next Season
"Hi, I just baked you all some cookies, and I have a ton of weapons we could use stashed in my safe that only I know the code to."
Walker Kenny/Jane comes up behind the man/woman and rips their throat out
Seeing someone you know become a walker can be traumatic, I get that. It's not them though, not anymore and living in a world for years with/killing zombies everywhere I would assume Clementine understands that. We passed by so many walkers playing as Clem and Lee they will always be a constant danger, but you gotta be selfish sometimes and leave those walkers be even if they are a danger to others down the road.
Lee was dying, so killing him before turning would be out of mercy and end his suffering, where as Kenny or Jane were already dead from the finishing blow. They turn which could take any amount of time, but Clementine was prioritizing and went straight to AJ. Kenny or Jane died and it would be pointless and a danger to go back and finish them.
Why is everyone so sure he's dead? This is exactly the same as in S1. Everybody else have clear obvious deaths. Besides from Christa ofc. But not Kenny. It's impossible for anyone here, despite whatever the fuck you say, to be 100% sure that he actually is dead.
With that said, I think will Kenny will return. And that's why the option to end him is missing.
A slightly valid point.. No one is a trained Doctor, no one checked for a pulse or heartbeat, no one can say with 100% accuracy that Kenny was indeed dead, but after the scene, I think it was fairly obvious that he died, or if not would have died within just a couple minutes more. The Idea you have that Kenny does survive and we'll see him alive in S3 seem's like wishful thinking or just denial.
But the purpose of this topic was about having the option of not letting him turn or letting him turn. Let's say, we did have an expirenced doctor, we did check for signs of life, or even if we waited til the moment he Turned and started to get up.. Would you put him down then or allow him to wander the world as a Walker? It's not a debate about whether he's alive or dead, it's about what would you do if he were dead?
I think I'm the only person who doesn't care if someone turns or not.
Don't know if this has been mentioned, but Jane gets a blade sunk in her chest and I don't think Kenny shoots her in the head after. I guess depending on if you let Kenny kill Jane or if you Killed Kenny, you'll see a zombified version of either one next season
Yay! Were in the minority!
I don't care either :P as long as I know they're dead I'm good.
That ending was made at the last minute so it's not supposed to make much sense because they barely put any effort into making it.
Do you think you're funny when you provide people with false information? Lol
Yeah because Gavin Hammon is a liar then.
Why is it so important to put down someone who is dead?
Because that's what (my) Lee taught her to do.
Proof please.
Why though? I'm really curious as to why, not going to criticize but to me I find it useless.
I left Lee to turn, so I didn't teach her that.
I think it's a personal respect thing. It's the same reason why people bury their dead. No one wants to see their loved ones as corpses left to rot in the sun. It's even worse when said rotting corpse is being paraded around by a virus as a sick mockery of the living person. It doesn't feel good to know that (the body of) someone you once cared for has become a horrible monster.
Kenny gets up, walks for several miles, and eats someone
Some people like me still wanted to make sure he doesn't come back. I was angry that I didn't get to shoot him in the head after we found AJ. If it had been a choice to shoot Kenny/Jane in the head after they died, then everyone would be happy.
Ah, I see.
Well, I think it kind of varies, like with Lee. I left Lee to turn because I didn't think Clem should go through more pain than she had to. And since Savannah was filled with Walkers and ammo was limited I told her to leave me, and she probably wouldn't see Lee after leaving the city. So there was to worry about.
