He's just a kid. Half of y'all forgave Kenny for being genuinely insane. So yeah, I'd say it's forgiven.

yup

Far more so than Kenny.

Ben was just a kid,, kids do stupid stuff. He was only doing what he thought was best to help protect the people he was growing to care for..

Should Ben be forgiven,, yes, because ultimately even thought what he did had tremendously horrible consequences for multiple people, he didn't do it maliciously, and ultimately the Bandits were the ones that decided to attack and accelerated the destruction..

I also think given the Time Kenny with as Stubborn and thick headed as he was,, might have come to forgive Ben as well.. It was a while since I played but doesn't Kenny find out Ben was the one giving supplies and he still tries to save him?

what in the theres a ben now.. well ok

no drop him down the bell tower

Ben, is a dumbest character I have ever seen in any games I played. Kid or no kid, you don't do stupid stuff like he did. Look at Clementine, she is younger than Ben, and you don't see her do some crazy stuff, both of them lost their family, and so there is no excuse for Ben. I wanted to push his dumb azz off the train, but there was no cue action to do so, and when he was hanging by a thread in that bell tower, I let him go in a heart beat. Ben is a traitor selling out his family to those bandits, got Duck, Katja, and Carla killed, and never trust Ben to babysit your kids in real life.

In world of TWD, it all boils down to survival, and if you constantly put the people I care about in danger by doing stupid mistakes, its only a matter of time till you get more people killed. I chose to let him fall from the bell, it was for the best. Odds are he wouldn't have survived for long being as clumsy and making such stupid decisions.

First, I don't think that he's a kid. Clem and Duck are kids, and he's rather a young adult IMHO. Of course, he's not a villain at all, but I agree that he's dangerously dumb. When I played, I thought that there was an important plot choice in the tower, and trying to save him might cause some bad consequences (the group'd be delayed, etc); also he asked to leave him, and I was impressed by his willingness to sacrifice himself (I don't think that he asked that solely because of guilt; he REALLY wanted to do something for other people and not to burden anyone). So, I let him fall. I thought about replaying, but then I found out that he's doomed by plot and would die anyway in the Episode 5.

You do two games later and many ways doing something dumber than anything Ben ever did.

just had to give my two cents. Ben is 17-18 in this game, but for some reason has less sense than Clem or Duck. Leaving Clem to fend for herself among the walkers was enough for me to realize what Ben's character truly is. He is a dangerous person to have around, for the simple fact that he was looking out for himself throughout his entire time in the game. I can probably excuse the medicine situation, because there is no telling when the bandits would have attacked prior to the deal, but you staying quiet about what you did up until there is hardly anyone else left?

Taking the hatchet from the door, I don't even need to go on about that screw up.

Deciding to anger Kenny while we are in the middle of trying to escape?

and him failing to watch clementine, resulting in her wandering out in the street? and a second time when she gets stuck in the shed?

Ben's dangerous, and doesn't need to be around anyone else.

Ben's gotta go.

its hard to trust him OR TRUST him.

well, he is the reason why katjaa, duck, carley, chuck, and brie die...

i cant say anything about stolen medicine because ik its either right or wrong, but i do hope he talk about it first, and again lily is broken and kenny is...well kenny. i know its hard for him to talk about it

i always trust him with clementine but he dissapoint me after he left clementine among the walkers and save his own ass.

then, his stupid stunt by taking the hachet

and lastly, why tf he told kenny that he is the one who gave the stolen supplies in that classroom? READ THE ♥♥♥♥ SITUATION -_-

I looked into Ben's eyes as he fell. Oops. Butter fingers.

Yes,he is teenager and he was manipulated by bandits
