    Let him go, for two reasons.

    1. He wanted me to let him go
    and, more importantly
    2. Because he left Clem to fend for herself instead of defending her

    I was angry at Ben for a lot of the stupid crap he had put so far, sure, but in the end... everybody EXCEPT HIM was an ass and decided to not come with me to go rescue Clem. Good riddance asses, welcome aboard Ben. I now don't regret for a second rescuing him.

    Hadn't he said he wanted only justice? But I couldn't. I could not tell her.
    It would have been too dark, too dark altogether.

    everyone makes mistakes in my opinion. The entire episode itself showed players what happened to a group that purposely eliminated all old, young and weak members. I would have been no better than the leaders of Crawford by letting Ben go. In short he's a human being, a young, stupid human being but a human being nonetheless. Through all of his mistakes and bad decisions he's been the only one who hasn't doubted my decisions for the most part. he tries to make himself helpful for the most part. Duck and Katjaa weren't his fault. The bandits knew where Lee and everyone were and could have attacked at any time, night or day and undoubtedly by surprise. There's a good chance that if they had then a majority would not have escaped. Doug/Carley were killed by Lilly, who being an unstable woman with a gun was a bigger threat than Ben all along. Ben admittedly was an accident however Carley was purely out of spite. And finally Brie/Molly. Idk if Molly really is dead, i honestly dont care i thought she was annoying, but those zombies would have gotten in sooner or later, and either way i still didnt fully trust her for some reason. And Brie? If your dumb enough to lean against the glass panel on a door with zombies on the other side then you deserve to have your guts torn out.

    Just reading the first page there is so much anger against Ben for killing Carly and a lot of people saved him as his punishment. I find it quite funny.

    Last I checked it was Lily who killed Carly. I left her on the road as punishment.

    First, let me say that if we're debating this, Ben is a great character to have in the game....it like he's in there to deliberately test everyone's patience....he contributes to the cause like everyone does but his fails are effin colossal and frequent...we're just about screwed when he does something or neglects something...and then he gives YOU attitude for not being able to do more when he hasn't earned it....it's like Telltale put him there to get on your damn nerves til u couldn't take it anymore....

    I dropped him....I was so furious over events that he directly was a party to or that he planted the seeds for....I don't have time to be worrying about my crew and herds of zombies.....god forgives, I do not #likeabauss lol

    Pulled him up.

    Ben tried to do the right thing, and his mistakes stemmed from his innocence, not arrogance like Kenny or paranoia like Lilly.

    I let him die.
    My only regret is that he joined the group in the first place.

    I let him die... And I've been feeling guilty ever since. Cause I was mad I let my emotions take control of me. He didn't deserve to die...

    I agree with Jon

    I pulled him up. Just couldn't bring myself to let him go. Yeah he made some bad decisions but he's just a kid and everyone makes mistakes.

    In real life? Honestly?

    It's easy to say "i'd let the zombies eat him" or "I'd just drop him" but y'know going by what happens in Episode 5, he is actually able to help Kenny with something.


    I don't know if I could just let the kid drop.
    I'd be angry at him. SUPER angry at him.

    But......no matter what excuses people use on here, the fact is his life was literally in my hands, whether we're talking about inaction over the zombie or we're talking about holding onto him.



    No matter what I did, I'd still be responsible for Ben losing his life.

    I dunno. If he wanted to throw his life away, I'd rather he do it in a situation that would properly buy us time, like if we all got to the gate and the gate was shut, and we looked around and he's back there pressing the gate control button.

    OR if he gave his life in a way similar to Chuck. Not just this "oh well I was nothing I'll still be nothing let me die"

    I get that Ben is a stupid dopey teenager and he makes mistakes, but mistakes are what cost lives. Don't think so? Look at Carly, Katja, Duck, Chuck, Brie, ALMOST CLEM, and almost the entire crew. A lot of you are talking about how Ben wasn't DIRECTLY involved in their deaths (as in he didn't pull the trigger), but he WAS directly involved.

    Ben and Clem end up nearly-cornered against a wall by walkers. Ben -- a teenage athlete, and Clem -- a scared little girl who just wants to find her parents. Instead of protecting her, what does Ben do? LEAVES HER. So Clem almost dies...why? Ben. Strike 4.

    Thank God for Chuck, who saves the day by running and getting the walkers away from Clem so she can get to safety, but obviously later in the episode we find out he gave his life. Why? Because Ben ran away from protecting Clem. Strike 5.


    You might want to brush up on your definition of "directly", because the examples you used were all indirect, for sure. In addition, you're faulting him twice for the same thing (strikes four and five). Granted, seven mistakes are still seven mistakes. I'm just pointing out the pieces that definitely wouldn't hold up in court.

    I myself pulled him back up. While he was a mistake, he was one of the few characters that did actually care for everyone else. Very few characters held that trait in this game. People keep saying that he was selfish in that he ran away and left Clem behind, but the guy was freakin' getting attacked by zombies. I'd like to think that I'd be level-headed like Lee (in my game) was, but I have no idea what I'd actually do during an actual zombie apocalypse. When under pressure - especially when it may cost your life - people do things that they don't want to do, and that includes running away for self-preservation. So yeah...He may not have made the best decisions under pressure, but everything he did was done because he thought he was helping. That's something you can work with...something you can teach him. You can't teach someone to actually have a heart.

    Ben is an idiot. I pulled him up though because I don't care how dumb you are, at his age and with the crap that has happened. He will learn. He may never be reliable and when the time comes I will probably part with him amicably but I am not going to kill the guy. I wont trust him with anything important for a long time but he's still a person and he still has his uses. Somebody, even a fool is better than nobody when you have so many enemies.
