Biggest decision regret ever so far at the end of episode 3:

I should have let

AJ blow Lily's brains out. I assumed she would let us go and we'd still take care of the raiders with the bomb. As soon as I saw James turn his back towards Lily to take the gun from AJ, I knew what was coming...I just didn't want AJ to keep killing people, even if Lily is a "monster". But every single part of me wanted to let him do it. Even if she might not had died. I have to read what would have happened if I made the other choice. Grrrr.

I finished the final season.

What a fun ride to play all 4 back to back to back to back. lol

And what a brilliant, amazing, incredible actor that AJ CGI is. So much emotion in those eyes, every single time. :P

Two regrets:

Not letting AJ shoot Lily on the boat. It would have been super satisfying but I didn't want him to develop a taste for it. Then she floated away on a raft while I shot arrows at her and missed worse each time.

No romance for Clem. I chose to stargaze with Violet instead of helping Louis tune the piano because that seemed like a dumb waste of time. But I only wanted to be friends with Vi. And once James showed me a picture of his dead boyfriend, I knew that option was out the window too. But then he died anyway. I was hoping that I'd get another chance with Louis later on, but it didn't come. So I'll just imagine that in the future they get together in the house they're going to build with the giant statue of Clem in it.

I loved the way they did the end credits, it was really really cool. I actually took the time to look at them.

Other final episode thoughts:

I thought the whole last episode we'd get to play as AJ, but I liked how they split it. I also liked Clem having the option to let AJ decide for himself with some of the choices. That was nice. He's the reason she survived after she got bit. I was curious why Clem never brought up the option of chopping her leg off in the first place since they add Minnie's axe already. And I guess if AJ didn't shoot Tenn on the bridge, Louis would have died? It would have been sad to see either of them go. Oh, and apparently me and only 2% of the players left Louis feeling humbled. I wonder if that's because he winded up dead for a bunch of players.

I completely missed 400 Days. I didn't see it in my game. Apparently, it's season 1 episode 6. I only noticed because I didn't have the achievement for that episode. I had to google it to realize I had to find it in the season 1 menu. :P

400 Days is nothing amazing but prob still worth playing tbh, most of the characters don't really factor in later so not much will have been spoiled

I rode along while my friend played this for the first time earlier this year and I'd be hard-pressed not to say it's my favorite game of all-time after experiencing it all again (even if not firsthand)

HOT TAKE but I think S4 may be on par with S1

yeah, that's what I've read. But the unobtained achievement for something as simple as completing the episode bothered me. So I will have to play it. lol

I don't necessarily disagree. Season 4 had a very similar feel to season 1. And there were a lot of callbacks. I think I prefered the story in season 4 as it felt more cohesive. Though season 1 felt more like the comic book/earlier seasons of the tv series. But as I've seen mentioned here, the mechanics for fighting a group of walkers was more annoying in season 4. I know I died a bunch of times while trying to clear them in every instance.
Season 2 was also so great though. :P The New Frontier is easily forgettable.

it feels weird to go back and play 400 Days having gone through all the other seasons first. But it's kind of cool. Bonnie's there. I recognize her from season 2. I hated her. lol
