This review contains spoilers
I've played this episode a million times already, but I kind of wish I never had so I could experience it with a more mature approach than my first dozen times. Not that I'm the most mature now, but certainly more than twelve years ago.
I'm sure I'll be shocked by future statistics as well, but man the stats of this first episode are astounding. It's so easy to accidentally lie to Hershel that I don't know how more than half were honest. I know Duck is annoying, but barely half the people going after him first is insane - though that's the first major timed event, so maybe that's why? How the absolute hell do 46% of people side with Larry instead of Kenny? That guy's a damn maniac. When it comes to giving Irene the gun, I kind of get it. She could have turned it on you, and also you just might not morally agree with what she does, but there was no realistic reason for her to not use it on herself, and poor girl was screwed.
But worst of all how does saving Carley only have 49%? Nah man, she more than proves herself and was the much more interesting character from the get-go. That's just so weird to me.
Hopefully I kick the habit of resetting when I immediately regret clicking a certain option just cause I read the tone wrong especially when it's a character I know dies later anyway!

@hotpoppah That's possible but I don't think replays would affect things that much. I doubt so many people who played the game already went back and chose the opposite choices, along with people who chose those originally. Maybe not though.
I did think of that with Sean, but at the end of the day, there's still a child in danger, and you could argue that Kenny would see Lee saving Duck and he starts going for Sean (obviously much less likely).
Yeah, I get the feeling people chose Doug out of spite, unfortunately.

Your argument crumbling to dust after I say Doug is funny failwife cringelord who managed to kill someone with a toy laser pointer:
@PitSolitayrh He's a quirked up white boy with a little bit of swagger.
I think too, if you're playing it on Definitive Edition that most people playing through might already be replaying the game and perhaps making different decisions. I know in the original version of the game that that decision is rather heavily slanted towards saving Carley (like 75/25) so when I went through my own recent playthrough I was rather shocked to find in Definitive Edition that saving Carley became the (slightly) less popular decision.
@radradradish Maybe, but I don't see why it wouldn't just use the same statistics dstabase?

I've seen people say that they tried to save Sean instead because their thought process is that Kenny was there to help Duck, while Sean had no one. I went for Duck initially too. I agree with the Carley thing though, she basically had one of those Youtube thumbnail circles around her for the amount of screen time she had in comparison to poor Doug.
