People love episode 2, but I think this is probably the best of the first season besides maybe the finale. The emotional stakes are high, the twists keep turning, and every character gets added development - plus, Omid and Christa are characters I've always liked a lot.
Speaking of Omid, he looks and sounds like he's from Half-Life 2. Nothing more to add there, but that's what I think whenever I see him.
So, anytime I'd play this game before, I always chose to make Ken shoot Duck. I absolutely get why that's the worse option, but it always made sense to me in some way. It's his kid, you know? I felt like, in a way, he'd never forgive himself if he didn't do it. Maybe that's twisted thinking, but that's how I always felt before. Well, this time I didn't do that. Both because I looked up how others felt and everyone seems to be in agreement that Lee should do it, but also because, all these years later, it felt right to.
The train puzzle that takes up a while of the time is probably a big hold-up for a lot of people. A long stretch of space to walk, and if you don't pick the right tool you gotta walk back and forth a few times, which can definitely be annoying. I wouldn't say it's the most fun puzzle, but it wasn't bad.
I like this as an end for Lilly's character in this season. I say "in this season", I'm not certain if she comes back, but it's very open for her to. If she does, that'll probably be pretty interesting. Anyway, she's an intriguing character in my opinion, and my appreciation for her has only grown over time.
My choices:
-Shot the girl in the street (surprised this was the less-chosen option. Did people really think it mattered too much?)
-Let Lilly back on the RV (interesting that this is actually the more common option. I guess people understand Lilly's plight, even after killing a beloved character?)
-Talked Kenny down (pretty easy lol)
-Shot Duck (rip)
-Helped Omid first (accidentally helped Christa at first so I had to reset lol)
