When I had the choice to just stick it to Ben, I was all good and riled up. I'd had enough of being nice and helpful, Ben had fucked shit up for the whole group big time, I'd voted him out, and I wasn't in the mood to have him around to fuck shit up even more.
So when I finally had the chance to let him fall, I clicked away gleefully. That's right Ben, you piece of shit, enjoy the consequences of your shitty ac-- - that was pretty much the exact moment I realized the game had, once again, figured me out.
The instant he hit the ground, bleeding, screaming and being eaten by zombies, I knew very well I was totally capable of saving him, and I was just being a vengeful dick. Vengeful because his actions caused Lilly to shoot Carley, because it made me leave Lilly to be fucked up in some cold roadside ditch, because it led to Katjaa and Duck getting their brains blown out. Every time I felt I finally took a stand, and stuck by my guns in that game, I immediately felt like I was also being a total dick.
Which is awesome. I mean, part of me knew full well that if I hadn't left Lilly behind, she'd find some other way to screw me over, and I imagine that taking Ben with me would have some sort of negative effect later.
The most soul-crushing part, though, is that I've tried my damn best to stick by Kenny when I thought it was appropriate, but that stubborn son of a bitch just won't let that thing go where I didn't prioritize his dipshit son.
Fantastic series so far, excited to try the last episode.
