10 Amazing Video Game Characters That Were Killed Off Way Too Quickly

10. Carley - The Walking Dead

Carley from the Telltale's first Walking Dead season is remembered for two things: being one of two survivors that Lee can get killed early in the story, and being one of the two survivors that can get unexpectedly killed by Lilly two acts later.

The fact of the matter is that Carley is at best an episodic character that's bound to die for nothing but cheap shock value. And this is a great lost opportunity on Telltale's part, as Carley's potential exceeds far between being a bullet sponge.

As you get to learn from her brief interactions with Lee, Carley used to be a news reporter before the zombie outbreak, and because of this she knows Lee murdered his wife and her lover.

Her knowledge of Lee's past, combined with her assertive personality, would've worked great for the group dynamic in later episodes, as she could use Lee's secret to blackmail him or turn everyone against him. This would've been even more interesting if Telltale took her teased romance with Lee into consideration and developed it in later episodes.

Instead, Carley is used as nothing more than a prop to make people gasp at her disappointing death.
