Then they killed her. I told my brother after I played the first episode that it was inevitable. Writers get lazy and even if they don't they only have so much time and so many resources. Eventually ala Bioware games some kind of "cleansing fire" event would have to occur and eradicate your choices to provide a reset point and make everyone's games coalesce again. And then it happened.
I actually saw Lily go for that gun and I knew that she was going to reach for it, but I fully expected some kind of chance to stop her. When it didn't happen I was shocked and I felt robbed, I actually turned the game off (after trying different things like taking the blame myself) and didn't play it again for three weeks. I guess this is the nature of the walking dead, and Lily has a destiny to fulfill, but I still didn't like it. I felt like killing the character was the easy way out and this being a game as opposed to a comic or movie, I expected to have more of an influence on events.
After I got over it though I played on, I didn't leave Lily behind, thing is I liked Lily and I didn't see a reason for two people to die. Lee was a killer too, even though in my game it'll probably turn out it was an accident, it seemed a tad hypocritical and since Lily still trusted me I figured I might need her around. Even if I detested her. She murdered my favorite character just because of some words she spoke. Petty. Nor did I want to murder Ben, I was just extremely disappointed in him and it only reinforced my opinion of him as a liability and an idiot and a pathetic waste of flesh. He let Carley take the blame. If he had fessed up sooner maybe Lily would not have gotten so worked up. Maybe if I hadn't waited till I cooled off my decisions would have been different.
Speaking of which, I have to replay episode 3 before I play episode 4. I pushed the guy off the overpass, as a joke. I didn't mean to keep it I just wanted to see the outcome. But the damn thing made an autosave the second I did it. I don't want that to keep coming up seeing as the guy broke his leg.
