Great as always, though there was even less of an actual 'game' here than usual I noticed. Ending was superb and really took me off-guard, though as soon as I noticed the gunfire on the roof I knew their crossfire was going to hit one of our own, just wasn't expecting it to be Carlos =( I liked how it all happened amidst your dialogue choice, too. It hasn't been the first time, but it really adds to the sense of how everything is happening and there's no time for hesitation. Anything can happen at anytime.
I was really surprised that this whole encounter with Carver wrapped up within the episode; I had figured he would maybe then be situated as the primary antagonist. It's for the better anywhoo, keeps the game moving, and there's a lot of new characters, too. Also liked the twist that 400 Days was actually about Carver recruiting more people to his cause.
One thing that I dislike is how Nick barely done anything during this episode, and that's clearly because if you chose to help Jack (?) in E1 he'd likely be dead by now... So instead of actually building a new set of circumstances around Nick, he's just sorta... there. I imagine he'll also be killed off in the next episode, too. Really lovin' the relationship between Clem & Kenny develop, too. Clem lost Lee and Kenny lost Duck, so it's only natural for them to be drawn to each other in a father-daughter kind of way. Felt good in giving Kenny another hug after he awoke before the big escape was underway. He's still sort of a control freak at times, but I'll (most likely) be having Clem side with him at every turn regardless.
Also, I totally thought Luke was infected -- I mean the game was heavily implying as such. But apparently not? Don't think he would have survived the day if so.
Anywhoo, choices:
Helped Sarah with her chores
Nah, because like most I'm playing Clementine fucking cold, and I've often belittled Sarah at practically every chance I get. Though I see it as Clementine trying to toughen her up since she knows how necessary it'll be. It's not that she actually hates her, just... y'know, tough love and all that.
Told Bonnie About Luke?
Yeah, why not. She seemed trustworthy and felt like someone who was too swept up amidst the chaos and had simply gotten to comfortable to the safety of their bunker to even really think about how much of a psychopath Carver was. She was clearly intentionally looking the other way, but Clementine made sure she knew exactly what sort of person Carver was.
Admitted to stealing the walkie talkie?
It says I tried to hide it, although I'm pretty sure I did in fact admit to it. Kenny took the blame, though, and a nasty beating to boot. But i figured that was supposed to happen, and that he would always jump in to took the fall?
Watched Kenny kill Carver?
Fucking yes I did -- Clementine is cold as ice. Good on Michael Madsen, too. He done a pretty good as Carver.
Chopped off Sarita's arm?
Duh. Same reason why I chose Nick over Jack, plus it had the foreshadowing with Rajeev (who btw I thought was poorly voiced) losing his arm to halt the infection, too.
