The Walking Dead ***SPOILER POST*****

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!! DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED THE GAME!!!!!!!!!!MASSIVE SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!!!!!!!!! SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Real quick, here are my stats:

Lied to Hershel
Saved Duck
Sided with Kenny against Larry about Duck being bitten
Didn't give the bitten lady the gun
Saved Doug
Chopped off that dude's leg
Listened to the crazy lady in the woods
Tried to revive Larry
Killed the first St. John brother, not the second
Stole the food from the car
Didn't shoot the girl who was being attacked
Brought Lily with us
Talked Kenny down
Shot Duck
Helped Omid instead of Khrysta
Killed the emaciated Zombie boy
Didn't lie to Vernon
Left Clementine at the house when going to Crawford
Saved Ben
Hid the bite
Ben, Omid, and Khrysta came with me to look for Clementine
Kept Lee's arm
Argued Kenny down
Kept my cleaver hidden during the stranger scene
Clementine killed the stranger
Made Clementine leave without killing Lee

     Quick thoughts. In this world, it doesn't matter that Lee is a murderer. All that matters is what he does now. You can instantly form a super-strong bond with someone (like Clementine) or instantly be enemies with someone (like Larry) in dire situations like this. All relationships like that are heightened. Killing Duck was the hardest part. Burying the zombie boy really made you feel the weight of what happened to Duck. You do a long list of questionable stuff. Stealing food from the car is the one that comes back to haunt you in the end. Some peoples' deaths are meaningless, they just happen with no great purpose. Like Ben, who in my game tried to do the right thing over and over but failed, and then died on his way to try again. Once Lee got bit, I instantly knew what the end would be, I just had to get there. This is exactly what Lee was thinking too, so at that moment, you are totally in his head. Amazing.

PS: In the review I talk about a conversation that the game didn't save. I told Clementine in the store that I had killed someone before the zombie infestation. Later, she didn't know that, and told me I could have told her. Stupid no auto-saving.
