I'm very much of the mindset that you should make choices in games based on instinct and not look up the best course of action. But I care about Clementine too damn much and I don't know if I should bring her to Crawford or not.

On one hand it seems extremely dangerous.

And on the other, she might get kidnapped by that stalker while I'm away.

Without getting too specific, anyone got any advice?

I took her. But my guess is that she'll make her way there regardless of what you decide.

Make your own choice.

Follow your heart, duder!

I brought her. Also, just in general:

Fuck Ben. I really hope this is the trip that kills that useless whiny fuck.

Has anyone gone through Crawford WITHOUT Clem?

Clementine is always safest with Lee. I figured leaving her alone is more dangerous. I play the game like I would make decisions in real life. If I had to take care of a child, I would take them out as much a possible. This would be for me to keep an eye on them and for them to be used to the apocalyptic world. For instance, she has only fired a weapon in combat because she went with the group to gather supplies.

I left here there..I had no idea what might happen if those Crawford assholes got their hands on her...
