Top 10 Best The Walking Dead (Video Game) Characters

Lee Everett is central to Telltale's The Walking Dead Season 1. The story starts off with Lee murdering someone who slept with his wife. Now you're on your way to prison, but luckily for you, life gives you a second chance with a walker apocalypse. Lee gets thrown into a new world with wonderful characters such as Clem, Kenny, Lilly, and others who join you for the ride.

Lee started this journey and he gets his fair share of respect throughout! Make your Lee the best, most loving, loyal, and honest Lee there is! Lee Everett definitely atones for his murder by rescuing and preserving the life of one of the most badass female characters in The Walking Dead history.

Clementine is amazing and has lived the longest so far in her previous teams. She is extremely hardcore, and sorry, Kenny fans, but she's way more compassionate and doesn't get herself all drunk. She's also very mature for her age, and I can actually relate to her more than any other character, surprisingly.

Also, Kenny fans, please no hate, as this is merely my opinion. I respect yours as well and see your reasons.

Clementine is the best because she was trained by the father she never had, and that was Lee. I hope they make the final Season 4 where we don't have to pick between Clementine and AJ, which I am afraid Telltale is considering.

Please, Telltale, enough already! We can't handle any more shocking blows - first Lee, and now possibly Clem? No, no, no. Please, she is all we have. Don't take her too. Cure the world. Otherwise, Lee's death will have been in vain!

Amazing character! I love how realistic and layered his character is. I truly believe he is one of the most layered and well-developed characters.

Up until the last episode of Season 1, I couldn't stand Kenny. I thought he was selfish and overall rude. Boy, did he redeem himself in the last episode and throughout Season 2! Now, he is my favorite character. He isn't perfect, which I love.

I love Lee, but he had no flaws, so I never saw him as realistic enough to have a deeper connection with. Kenny does anything for the people he cares deeply about. He got shot for Duck, had his eye pretty much beaten out for Clementine, and it was obvious that he was willing to die at any moment for AJ. Even when he didn't have a deep connection with Ben or Christa (heck, he practically hated Ben), he still sacrificed himself for them. And he's good when it comes to thinking of a plan.

In the first episode, when walkers were breaking into the drugstore, he easily led a group of strangers to safety. While becoming heavily emotionally unstable, he never gives up. He's exactly what represents a strong person. Not just in the apocalypse, but in any kind of society. It's not about physical strength or smarts. It's about still kicking when you feel you're at your worst.

Great character! I really wish she'd lived longer. I truly believe she would be one of the best characters (she already is, but imagine if she'd lived longer). She had so much potential.

As much as I hate her death, it was well done.

Carley is a person with very good morals. She is always helping people instead of letting them die and becomes Lee's love interest. If there was one character who I would have wanted to know Lee's past, it would be her. I disliked the way they killed her, though. I give Telltale props for shock value, but I think they should have kept her around longer to build more of a relationship with Lee before killing her off or making her whereabouts unknown.

Plus, even though I was shocked by Carley's death, I think I would have been more surprised to see Lilly shoot herself instead. I also hate the fact that all Lee would've needed to say to keep her from getting killed was that she was the one who sent him in to check on the stolen supplies in the first place. She literally says, "It's probably worth following up with Lilly about the stolen supplies," and it didn't even give you the option to say that.

I was very happy when Luke was killed off. It was the happiest scene in the whole series. It just pissed me off that I had to wait five episodes for it. He should have been killed instead of Pete. He should have fallen off the bridge, Nick should have shot him accidentally, he should have been killed by Carver, died off camera, died in the trailer, been killed by the Russians.

But no, five long episodes with that prick, who got killed off because people made him into a pedophile.

Luke is my favorite character, and I may or may not ship him with Nick, but that is beside the point.

I was in tears when Luke died, and I don't know why people hate him. He's a good guy. If you hate Luke, think about it. If he were a real person and you were a game character, you would feel self-aware of yourself.

Moving on, I love Luke. He wouldn't leave Clem and cared for her no matter what. He was always on Nick's side in a fight. Yes, he got it on with Jane, but as he said, he just wanted to forget about everything. If you think about it deeply, if he hadn't been shot, he would have made it across the ice in no time. But he was shot by Arvo's team.

One thing I'm pissed off about is that Bonnie didn't die with Luke. She basically killed Luke because she put more weight on the ice, causing it to break. Then later in the episode, she blamed Clem. Screw Bonnie, man. And she fell into the ice at the exact same time as Luke, so she should have died with him. Bonnie is a bitch, and I don't care if I'm the only one who likes Luke. He didn't deserve to die.

His interactions, depending on what you choose, are funny with Lee and some other characters. He was like the comic relief in a chaotic world. Had he lived longer, he would have made a perfect father figure to Clementine.

Omid is not a bad guy. He's always thinking positively and caring about others. Even in bad situations, he can stay positive or ironic, and that's why I like him. He reminds me of myself or how I would like to be, and I really would like to know him in real life.

I think he was amazing, and I cried when he died during Christa's pregnancy, and he was going to have a baby. He was amazing! Long live Omid. He was in the first season and lived, but in Season Two, he gets shot by Michelle and falls. Tears.

I honestly see myself in Ben, making him my favorite character in the game. He never wanted to hurt anybody, and I think he actually saved a lot of lives with his actions. Just think for a moment: If the bandits didn't get medicine from Ben, how else would they get it? By waiting for Lee and Kenny to go out looking for supplies, then killing everyone, and ambushing Lee and Kenny when they got back. Then they would loot the camp. Sure, Carley/Doug, Katjaa, and Duck die, but that is better than everyone being dead.

Ben always got everyone's bull and was hated by most of the survivors. Kenny was always pushing him around, telling him he should be dead. Even though he always had pure intentions, he was still hated by most. He was just a kid. He didn't deserve what he got in the end.

Very underrated character and villain. She honestly is one of the most interesting. While she does horrific actions (and I won't defend those), she is a really well-developed and written character.

I do think Season 4 did her dirty. I really wish she'd been a little more layered there, especially since in Episode 2 it seemed she would be, but it was never really followed up on.

Lilly is a really great character with a lot of potential. She is misunderstood and actually has some good points. I believe if she had lived as long as Kenny, then more people would have sided with her. I believe she is still alive and will be in Season Two.

She made one mistake, killing Carley/Doug, but if she explains and apologizes, I can forgive her one mistake.

A. He's super cute and adorable.

B. He's handy with mechanical things and can repair anything that Lee needs to be repaired.

C. He's kind-hearted. He died protecting Ben from getting shot by Lilly.

D. He took care of Clementine. He gives her batteries and stuff.

E. He's the best comic relief character of the game. At one point, he ate the bread that Brenda St. John gave Lee's group the moment she gave it, and he pointed a laser pointer at Andy when he tried to kill Lee.

F. He's a nerd. Where else can you see a nerd as awesome as Doug?

He's one of the best characters of the game for me and shouldn't have died in Episode 3. I wish he would have made it to Season 2.

He was so cool. I wish he was still around.

He ended up becoming a plot device to further the development of an annoying and ultimately doomed character (Sarah).

I actually used to like him at first, but after the second episode, he was trash. It's his fault Sarah became such a dumb coward.

He was the worst doctor. He was overly protective of Sarah and couldn't help Kenny's eye. Why would he pull Sarita away?

Molly is such a cool and unique character. Her entry and exit were both solid, and I like how her fate remains unknown to this day. Initially, she might seem like a selfish character, but eventually, you'll get to know her kind, caring, and helpful nature.

Her background story justifies her initially cold nature completely.

Molly is a badass character, and she has a good sense of humor, which made her character ten times better. I was saddened she left so early. It was stupid of Telltale to scrap a character so quickly. I hope she returns in Season 3.

Great guy with lots of good traits for a survivor. His death was bull. Alvin and Rebecca were only good for the sentiment of "but they're going to have a baby," but Pete was much more interesting than both of them combined. He probably would've led you through a more interesting story than the rest of the group did. I wish Season 2's group had been Clementine, Pete, Luke, Nick, and maybe Jane. I would add Mike and Bonnie, but their sendoff made me feel a mix between hate for their characters, doubt of my own hate, and a sense that Telltale Games just doesn't know how to write those characters, or female characters really... they're either dead or a stereotype. Thanks, TTG.

I can't believe he's 15, but Alvin is a kind, loving father. He even helped Clementine with her bite (determinant) and gave her a juice box. He's such a generous man. Too bad Carver beat him up and he got killed. Either way, he's a kind father, and now he's with Rebecca.

What I liked most about him was that he died as a hero, sacrificing his life, and that was something completely unexpected. Usually, when you see him, you don't expect a hero. But that scene proved how much of a badass he really is.

What happened to the Chipmunks?

I felt so bad for Walter, especially the way he saved Nick. You could tell he was still grieved when he shot the walker, but he knew Nick was a good guy based on what Clementine told him. (Unless you choose to tell Walter that Nick is just like all the others.)

He's such a nice guy. I can't believe he wasn't even on the list!

At first glance, he may appear to be a jerk, but he is pretty sympathetic once you get to know him later. He's been through a lot, being forced to kill his mother and losing Pete. If you were in his shoes during the Zombie Apocalypse, you would feel the same way as him. And he actually acts nice towards Clem and isn't as big a jerk as Rebecca.

Overall, a pretty cool character with a pretty sad backstory. Too bad he is considered underrated or irrelevant by most people.

SPOILER

His death as a zombie was both brutal and heartbreaking. At the same time, I hate Telltale for making his death a bit contrived and convenient. Same for Luke!
