So the guy Clem fought in the beginning...

edited December 2013 in The Walking Dead

I was watching a let's play of ep 201 and I noticed something. The man "attacking" Clementine, the one who was part of the group holding Christa at gun point? He helps save Clem from a walker. Specifically, the one that grabs Clem just after she pushed this same man into another. It grabs her through a tree and you have to press the action button to fight it off? I didn't succeed that QTE prompt (I don't know if you actually can), but I still pulled away from the zombie, ripping its arm off. Next frame you see the guy behind Clem falling back with her, as if he'd been pulling on Clem.

I think the reason you survive that prompt is b/c he yanks her away from the zombie. You just can't see him till the frame after b/c of camera angles.

Additionally, watching a let's play and actually listening to what he's saying, instead of being in blind fight or flight mode like I was when I played, his dialogue doesn't make me think he wants to hurt her, just catch her. And Clem obviously isn't cooperating. Add walkers showing up and it made the incident go haywire.

Could it be these guys were part of the same group Tavia from 400 days is? Or at least weren't necessarily bad people, just (rightly?) cautious, hence the gunpoint holdup of Christa as they questioned her? Maybe the gunshot we heard was them shooting a walker.

Did Clem wind up getting a good intentioned man killed by zombies?

  • If you let him grab you, in other words don't spam Q, he will shoot you with his gun. In other words, he is a dick as he will kill clementine if you don't perform the quick action scenes.

  • No he was just tring to grab clem again if you fail the QTE with the walker by the tree it will grab you and pull you towards it and bite you

    2:00 mark. Look for yourself. Warning Hard to watch because it's Clementine

  • If you don't distract the scavengers he will stab Christa

  • That was the saddest video I have ever seen.

  • Yeah... really didn't want to post it.

  • Since I am a guy I figured I could be strong through the video. But I figured out I am emotionally attached to Clem from this video. But oh well lol.

  • Well, ok then. I don't feel bad at all now. Huzzah for meta-gaming! lol Thanks all.

  • Don't worry man, I'm sure you were like me and spamming keys and never saw this. I only saw this via another thread

  • My guess is that he wanted info from Clem. If you do nothing after you hide behind the tree, another scavenger will say "Common, we have to go, get rid of her." Then he pulles out a gun and shoots her.

    Maybe those guys didn't just attack you for weasel burgers.
