Is that after the ending if she lets Chloe die?
Makes sense. She becomes just like Chloe did after losing William. Get involved with people that aren't good for her and start looking for different vices to try to escape. Alcohol, sex, drugs, all that stuff.
Except there'd be no helping Max because she can't tell anyone what was wrong.

Aside from maybe Nathan and perhaps Joyce and David (considering the alternative) I can't say I agree. Assuming some or all of the students are dead then that's a pretty horrible loss considering they had full lives ahead of them. I don't think Frank's better off dead since he wouldn't have heard about Rachel's death from Max and would have received no closure.

Victoria is secretly a closeted geek and sub who is grossly insecure and craves validation. Prolonged exposure to Max will reduce her to a gooey, dependent mess.

Not really, she probably goes around deliberately acting even more arrogant in public, either to demonstrate her 'worth', or just in hopes that Max will discipline her behind closed doors for her transgression.

Victoria .. No way! She would probably be with some preppy guy from the sports club.

>>127399031
I don't think Kate would be down for being with a girl. She'd find a nice boy with similar beliefs.
I wonder how she would take the news about Max & Chloe though, I'm sure she'd accept them eventually but she may have some issue initially. And not because it's same sex, more because she doesn't know Chloe aside from whatever she's heard about her. Which probably isn't good things.

Victoria and Nathan were probably good together. Too bad that unless Max really changed things, to save everyone, that it will never happen.
She seemed to be the only person to actually care about Nathan and the only person Nathan wanted to protect.

What do you guys want from S2?
I want either two completely different, branching stories depending on what ending you chose in S1 or a completely different cast and story.

>>127399843
I prefer them having a near-sibling relationship instead of a romantic one. I'm not quite sure why but for some reason I find it more heartwarming.

>>127399843
I see them more brother/sister.

>>127399843
Nathan is seriously not in the right mindset for a relationship.

>>127399924
It would be next to impossible to make a branching story. The two endings are so radically different from each other. One has Max continuing her studies at Blackwell without Chloe and the other has the two of them leave a destroyed Arcadia Bay with everyone else presumed dead. If the budget issues wouldn't let them tweak the endings then there's no way they'll have the resources to build two completely different stories per episode in the next season.

>>127400231
>>127400323
I agree with the brother/ sister dynamic they have. But they're not so if they wanted to go on dates and stuff like that there's nothing wrong with it. I really don't see who else they would go for. There's a lot more to a relationship than just sex, it's about caring and being there for someone.

>>127399924

They will never make two stories. No way. If they do, it will only branch out for one episode, then somehow it will all pierce together as one, cohesive plotline.

They will most likely just force one ending to be canon IMO.

>>127400919
>They will most likely just force one ending to be canon
I can't believe I'd ever actually want a new cast and story but I'd take that over something that canonises either of those godawful endings.

>>127402481
Maybe as a side character but honestly I actually would like to try a new playable character. Preferably a more competent protagonist. The problem with Max is she might just be her own worst enemy since she almost never uses her common fucking sense. Her enabling of Chloe's stupidity nearly ended in both of their deaths and she wound up getting stuck in the Dark Room again because she didn't think things through when she focused into her contest photo.

>>127402942

>Max is stupid

but that's what makes her so.. relatable.. so.. adorable.

>>127403779
It gets a little tiresome though. The final quarter of Episode 4 and the first two thirds of Episode 5 are completely pointless. Max and Chloe had won the moment they stepped foot into the Dark Room. The only logical move Jefferson could do next was flee the town and assume a new identity before the police figured out that Nathan was working for someone else. Instead he makes an idiotic gambit that relies on the two of them behaving in the most stupid manner imaginable....which they proceed to do. It's just annoying having the villain get such a miraculous reversal of fortunes due to the protagonists being stupid. It feels like an artificial way to drag out the conflict.

>>127399843
>the only person Nathan wanted to protect
...was Max, apparently. Jefferson had plans regarding Victoria and Nathan didn't warn her when he did Max.

I think Nathan and Victoria had a close relationship, sibling-like if you will, but with a lot of unsaid stuff. The only reason I can see why Nathan wouldn't warn her if he truly cared about her is that he was afraid of revealing that side of him to her.

I find it more likely he was "in love", or rather "obsessed" in some way, with Rachel and later possibly started to develop similar feelings for Max too. But didn't want to repeat what happened with Rachel and so he warned Max. Maybe his hostility always was to scare her off and suppress his own feelings.

Victoria I can't see ever having had a romantical relationship. She probably had her fair share of "fun" with boys from parties and get-togethers but ultimately never felt satisfied with how they treated her. Maybe she had hoped to have more with Nathan than what they did have, but always also knew that it wasn't really going to work that way with them. Too much distance.

Like Nathan I can see her having developed feelings for Rachel and later Max. Unlike the rich or athlete type boys she used to get with, these girls not only have some facet to them that Victoria feels attracted to (Rachel as a photo subject, Max as a photographer), but they also don't treat her like a girl in the sense that guys especially with the background of her social clique sometimes do. On top of that they just caused strong feelings in her to begin with with the attention they got from Jefferson (and possibly Nathan) and with how they never seemed to want to take her up on any challenge, instead being kind. So they were on her mind and had an effect on her, she found herself increasingly more interested and eventually drawn to them and she hated that. Being a "lesbo" is "improper" and how could she possibly like these girls that she "hated"? And so there's hostility there too.

>>127405458
Those have long since stopped being spoilers, no need for the tags. And no, you have no choice but to save William.

>>127405792
They were just hoping she'd have the intelligence to go into the alt timeline, find a polariod on the day of her crash and ring Chloe to prevent it.

Then she'd have GPA 4.0 Alt Chloe and GPA 3.9 submissive alt Victoria to advise her. The Prescotts and Jefferson would be screwed.

>>127404589

To be fair Chloe is a bit quick to temper. She pretty much flared up at Nathan's SMS. And they pretty much didn't really expect Nathan to be a clever scheming guy. And they certainly did not suspect Mr art teacher.

>>127407329
If Jefferson knew Chloe from her time at Blackwell, or ever read her file after seeing her with Max, then it's somewhat reasonable to assume he would know how to play her.
He would know she was impulsive and had one hell of a temper. So if he had cameras in the Dark Room, and saw that Max and Chloe were going to the Junkyard, and then learned that they found Rachel- Jefferson would know what to do.
Eliminate Nathan to cover his own tracks, and use Nathan's phone to set bait that Max (And especially Chloe) would take.

>>127407329
Even if they didn't know about Jefferson the text was still a painfully obvious trap. For all they knew Nathan could have had a group of henchmen ready to ambush them. I suppose they could have been concerned about losing Rachel's body as evidence. But that would never have been a problem if they'd simply snatched Rachel and Kate's folders as well as Victoria's empty one. It's just amazing how many logical steps they overlooked after they spent the entire investigation snatching important pieces of evidence from Nathan, Wells and Frank.

>All these fics that start off decently but then take a nosedive into depression where Chloe and Max want to just die
Fuck. I need to stop clicking these things.

>>127407887

Well you have a 19 year old girl who hates the world and is prone to temper outrage, and a 18 year old country pumpkin who cuck a boy for science homework help. Add on to the tension in the dark room, they probably weren't thinking straight

>>127407887
The text really isn't out of character for Nathan. He sent threatening texts in the past and even broke into Max's room to paint on her wall.
The one thing that should have stood out was that the grammar was different than Nathan's usual messages. But they never thought about that and were just concerned with getting to the Junkyard before something happened to Rachel's body.
And even if they called the Police, they may have thought that the Police were corrupted by the Prescotts and that they would get there after Nathan had already removed the body and any evidence.
While they should have absolutely taken a binder from the Dark Room. Their minds were not clear in that moment and Chloe was holding onto some shred of hope that she would find Rachel alive and Max just followed along because she was equally shocked and not thinking. Then she was concerned with staying near Chloe to make sure she didn't turn the Party into a bloodbath.

>>127408702

I'm thinking of writing one, nothing sad though. Might be a good way to improve my English.

>>127409073
They were in a bit of a rush to get to the junkyard but it would have taken no effort whatsoever to take some evidence for the Dark Room. It's not like it was hidden in a locker or behind a password. The folders were on the table directly in front of them. Making matters even more annoying is that you briefly take control of Max again and can hang around for as long as you want in the Dark Room, examining every object. It's literally the plot forcing them to be as incompetent as humanly possible to force a situation where Jefferson almost wins.

>>127409107
Go for it. The more stories means the more stuff we have to read/ discuss. And a bunch of writers have been writing in English, even if it's not their native language.

>>127409741
My thoughts about Max and Chloe are this:
They leave a day after the storm.
That night they spend in the building next to the lighthouse. Inside all Max can do is cry and shake, Chloe just holds her close and tries to comfort her by talking about when they were kids.
In the morning they try to drive into Arcadia Bay but everything is blocked off that way by debris. Max and Chloe continue on foot and see the devastation. There is destroyed buildings, fires, and bodies in the street (None of which they recognize) Max is horrified but Chloe steels herself and pulls Max towards Two Whales. They both have to know for better or worse what happened, but when they get there they find nothing. Nobody is inside.
They sit outside on the steps, when Chloe hears someone call her name, she looks up and it's David. He runs over and hugs her, which Chloe surprisingly returns briefly before asking where her mother is.
David leads them to his car and they drive off towards a familiar barn. David explains that after helping the Police bust Jefferson, he saw the storm forming on the coast and rushed to the Diner. They descend the stairs and find Joyce, Frank, Pompidou, and Warren safe (But all of them are slightly injured).
Chloe is ecstatic to see her mom, and even glad to see Frank and Warren. They spend the night in the bunker using the supplies.
Chloe decides that she's going to take Max back to Seattle to see her parents. They, along with David and Joyce, get in David's car and they begin driving towards Arcadia Bay. As they drive by Blackwell, Max watches out the window, David pulls over. He gets out and says he has a job, and says goodbye to the three women in the car. Joyce continues driving and they eventually get to Chloe's truck.
By now the fires have been extinguished and the roads cleared mostly, so Max and Chloe say bye to Joyce and get in the truck to drive off.
This is where you get to the scene you see in the ending.

>>127411323
And they get murdered and have their bodies dumped in a lake. Because that what's happens with most rapes on the streets.

>>127411481

Come to think about it the Chloe ending scene is stupid as fuck.

Don't they at least take some time to walk on foot to anaylse the destruction? Do they simply assume everyone just died.

>there's no story where Max and Chloe rescue Victoria and Kate from the rubble of Arcadia Bay, turn them into sex slaves and go around pimping them out to everyone, while on a road trip back to seattle which accidentally went entirely the wrong way and ended up in las vegas

>>127411120
>>127411413
They should have a Harold and Kumar type adventure while going to Seattle.

>>127411640
It would be more fun to have them be sold into sex slavery. They are separated and then months or years later they meet again after lots of torture and abuse and then >>127411413 can have his happy ending.

>>127411678
That's why that ending is so damn infuriating. It gives no closure. It's stupid and even with the budget issues Dontnod claims they should have been able to think of something. But instead they said to use your imagination.
Which is why my brain filled in the gaps.

Where's the tragedy if everyone we know survives ? No one cares about nameless npcs.

>>127415054
Fucks sake, stop.

>>127415054
>Where's the tragedy
What happened to Rachel, Kate, and Nathan.
Chloe's life after her father died and Max left.
Max seeing her friends dying repeatedly.
Max having to see what happens if she saves William and then having to knowingly send him to his death to undo the changes.
Max's idol turning out to be a psycho.
Chloe digging up the girl she loved in the same junkyard the two of them hungout at.

This game has plenty of tragedy without the bullshit storm. But since they just had to the tornado, they could have at least been competent with it.

Yup. It should just had Michel Koch after the credits saying "Well, that's it for Max's story. Chloe's dead... or alive depending on your choice. We hope you enjoyed our game. Oh, and make sure to keep an eye out for any future projects we have on the way. Goodnight everybody." *waves*

>I find it more likely he was "in love", or rather "obsessed" in some way, with Rachel and later possibly started to develop similar feelings for Max too. But didn't want to repeat what happened with Rachel and so he warned Max. Maybe his hostility always was to scare her off and suppress his own feelings.

I definitely think he became obsessed with Max and was trying in his own probably unconscious way to scare her away from danger, and getting pissed off that she wouldn't take the hint and kept coming after him, but I can't see him having feelings for her. They don't really interact on any level where something like that could develop, and Nathan has so much other shit on his mind. I can see him easily becoming infatuated with someone like Rachel, because she makes it so easy, but Max is just a dopey nobody. Even if a lot of people secretly respect her and find her cute, she's not the sort of person that commands such infatuation that it'd break through to someone in Nathan's position. If he had any feelings for her other than anger and fear, I think it would have just been projecting what he remembered of Rachel, rather than perceiving who Max really was and being attracted to that.

I feel like the reason he warned her is because he felt guilt for what he had done, and since he perceived her as having it out for him, he was resigned to his guilt and vindicating her suspicion. She already knew the score, and he was just finally giving in to her pursuit of answers.
With Vic, he'd be dumping information on her that she didn't ask for and wouldn't know what to do with, and as you said revealing a really ugly side of himself to the one person who still gives a shit. Even if it would save her, it'd hurt her, and he can't face that even if it's necessary.

>The other ending's short but it's less cliché than other.We saved Chloe,storm's hit the town and gone.That's it.

>>127411678
Either endings (conslucion of the story) stupid as fuck.
But they gave us those endings already, so we can't do anything about it. Even they couldn't make an effort to whole episode; either endings for example in Bay ending just like 'tragic' spanish soap opera endings they completely used old locations.Was it emotional? *Max smiles with death eyes* sorry but no.
In Bae ending ; buildings are still up, roads are well even after 'magic' tornado hit the town, we can't say that 'holy shit everybody's ded'.

>>127421007
Don't forget that the consensus here seems to be that Max would go back even if she let Chloe die and save her at some point after the funeral.
And there's no reason to assume she doesn't have her power still, and won't cause another storm by doing something she could only do because she learned it with the rewind. Now if they showed a scene of her testing them and realizing that they were gone, that would solidify her choice that Chloe is dead and Max will have to move on with that.
But since she still has them, she will go back.

Honestly , if we compare her smiles in Bae and Bay ending, she seems more happier in Bae. I dunno if it's shitty animation or something but it seems really creepy in Bay and actually i found it kind of strange. I mean when she saw the butterfly she suddenly smiled; but looks like forced herself to smile, i know that butterfly symbolizes Chloe but still, is it normal? If you ask to me, it looks like ''ur gon die like a bitch in there, all of you''

DON'T DIE /LESG/!!!!!
WAKE UP WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sup nerds, long time no see.

I've been watching Twin Peaks over the last few weeks because everyone talking about LiS would also drop a line about TP at some point.

well, turns out all those people have shit taste.
>the only thing LiS and TP have in common is the mere fact that they take place in a small town
>there's not even a missing girl mystery in TP because she's dead in episode 1
>LiS has mysteries, TP has weirdness for the sake of weirdness (Cooper's dreams)
>all that time wasted with the stupid and boring subplots in TP (good thing I started skipping forward 5 minutes everytime one of the side characters showed up)

Twin Peaks should have ended after the father died and even then I'd only it a 5/10 because it's slow, boring and unimaginative and aged horribly. with all the extra bullshit in the second half of season 2 I give it a 4/10 "not worth watching".

in case you you liked TP and think my rating system is off, here's my rating for LiS for comparison:
Episode 1: 7/10 Solid start and world-building, a bit short in retrospect.
Episode 2: 6/10 Yunkyard was okay although there could have been more experimentation with the rewind. Game couldn't make me care too much about Kate's subplot, it became just a simple checklist of things you had to say to save her.
Episode 3: 8/10 Spending time with Chloe was great. Ending of the episode was a bit ham-fisted.
Episode 4: 9/10 Finally starting the real investigation which came to a surprisingly quick finish after only 1-2 days (should have maybe kicked off more in episode 3 already to make it last longer).
Episode 5: 5/10 Jumping through multiple photos was nice (I expected only 1 really) and the nightmare sequence was interesting albeit a bit long and not very challenging at the labyrinth part. Telegraphed ending that should go on the "list of things that didn't happen".
Overall: 7/10

Thanks for reading my blog :^)

yeah, the theory back then was that David would kick the door in right at the start, Max is free and jumps through the photo Warren took to, iunno, warn people about the storm.

regarding the locations spoiler that was out back then, the plane and san francisco gallery sections could've (and looking back should've) been one of the endings.

>the theory back then was that David would kick the door in right at the start,
most people realised that we would use the contest photo to escape (although thought that Jefferson would still be free to accompany Max, and she'd have to eas cape from the contest for that reason)
Looking back we were still kind of dumb though, we thought we'd go from to contest to the photo wall focus to the middle of the Storm in Chloe's truck with Chloe alive (never thinking Max might drive), completely forgetting that reused locations don't show up on the early sub leaks.

The Returned season 2 has finally started in Aus and it hit me that it has a few overlaps with LiS and Twin Peaks and might be something people are interested in moving on to. Not huge parallels, but still.
It's French, Mogwai did the entire soundtrack, it has some casual lesbians, brilliant atmosphere, beautiful visuals, fairly intriguing characters and setup, and the story is completely incomprehensible but in a more tolerable 'fuck it, just go with it, don't even try to figure it out' way rather than a horrific 'try and solve our mystery - haha just kidding, fuck it, the butler did it. btw you weren't enjoying these characters were you? Too bad, they're dead. Maybe:)' kinda way.

Some of us also thought about that storm in Chloe is truck with Chloe alive location , 'we probably would help people and say goodbye to Joyce'

They replaced somethings with Episode 4. JeffersonCar: Originally probably we'd go to junkyard(?) with Jefferson or just investigate his car. But they cut it. (also cut anon tried to run this scene, but he couldn't manage it)
In Episode 5 Jefferson probably'd hide Chloe's truck in the farm and Max'd drive it instead of Jefferson's car. That's it.

He's just irritating and pointless and trying to muscle in on our lesbians, so it's become a sort of running joke to act like he's literally the worst thing in the world.

>>127437658
Sounds to me like your typical 18 year old nerd. Maybe I see too much of myself in him to hate him. Maybe I understand why he acted that way, and maybe I have hopes for him to get his shit together like me.
I never expected the game to be scientifically accurate in the least, though, so I didn't care about the chemical reactions. Still crazy to throw an alkali metal in water and put your head over it.

Also, I always had the impression he was a /b/tard.

Going out to watch the most recent Star Wars.
Hopefully it doesn't feel like as much as a kick in the dick as Polarized did. But after some of the stuff in the prequels, I suppose it can't get any worse.
I heard it's pretty much a re-write of A New Hope

>>127444025
It is but honestly I think it was a pretty fun movie. It probably won't go down in history as a classic like the originals but it was more or less what everyone was hoping to see. And after a year of disappointments like Polarized it really did feel kind of refreshing to watch a good Star Wars movie after all these years.

>>127417762
I agree for the most part. In any case it wouldn't yet be a particularly strong feeling, nor would he necessarily be all too aware of what it really is. But I do think there's reason to believe he started to take some form of infatuation with her. Precisely because he has so much other shit on his mind: Why would he then go and deal with Max so much? As Max says herself, he has no reason to be scared of her, really. And he still pursues her, works on that photo montage, wrecks her room, steals her selife, sends her texts... The willingness to talk to her at all in the diner also always striked me as strange. It's like he talks despite not wanting to talk, which is obvious when he blurts out things like the blood oath. What drives him to talk? Max was certainly not using superpowers to systematically puzzle those things out of him, so it must just be the effect she has on him?

But that's just a way I can see him having or starting to have feelings for her. I wouldn't go as far as to say it was definitely intended here or that it couldn't be interpreted in a very different way.

And yeah, as for not warning Victoria, it must be that he was just too ashamed of himself and apparently that shame was bigger than anything he felt for her, bigger than his fear of death and fear for her...

>>127444349

Gone Home slayed me.
My god.

But it is not LiS feel at all. Its definitely not comfy

Every night when I try to sleep, I daydream a bit about Max. And she's always depressed in them, either she's gone loco because she killed Chloe, or she feels intense guilt for killing the whole town.

>>127445560
Try imagining that Episode 5 didn't happen.

>>127445647

I often picture Max, either waking up in the middle of the night, from a nightmare, crying about how she missed Chloe. Or sitting in the bench by the lighthouse, tears flowing down her cheeks. Or just talking to Chloe's gravestone, on the verge of crying.

Either that or, waking up in the middle of the night with Chloe by her side, frantically hugging her and whimpering "I killed them Chloe, I killed them..", or just staring outside the motel room, looking at the vast sandy town and the rundown shophouses, thoughtfully.

Man its so depressing.

>>127447202
I cringe so hard at my past self for that same reason. Trust me, you could've been worse. I wasn't just a clingy creep but I would also whine to our common friends how she was a slut just because she would flirt with me while having a boyfriend (although it was just that, playful flirting, and I never really was "one of her options" as I so wanted to believe).

Look at google maps son.. Some people were saying ages back that Coos Bay in Oregon might be the closest one could get to Arcadia. It also has a school called Marshfield, and another called Price Elementary IIRc, so its pretty fitting.

It's only a six hour drive from Coos Bay (with is about midway up Oregon's coast) up to Seattle.
Pretty easy trip desu, its kinda funny what a big deal it is to Chloe and Max.

Did anyone ever tell you "Please leave me alone. I don't like you like that." and you still kept clinging?

Because I don't get how otherwise bitching about people being interested in you makes you anything but an idiot at best. "Can't this guy take a hint?!" - Well, if he hasn't for the 100th time, I'd wager, no, he cannot. So just tell him. Max didn't tell Warren either. Leading people on because you are too much of a wussy to tell them what's up makes you as much a "goodguy" as obliviously pursuing you does them.

>As Max says herself, he has no reason to be scared of her, really.
He has every reason to be scared of her. He's generally a very anxious, defensive person, and she saw him flip out on Chloe. Even if she can't bust him immediately, she still persists. It's quite striking too how different his demeanour is depending on how much you've shown a willingness to be a threat.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faz4O_Qee1I

>What drives him to talk?
This is an interesting point. I think on some level, Nathan understands that Max is a good person and cares about people, and we know that despite his destructive behaviour, he doesn't want to hurt anyone. He just unfortunately wants the sense of personal safety and Jefferson-approval that come from hurting people.
He doesn't trust Max enough to say what's going on, but he trusts and respects her enough to not just shut her down completely (except when she gets too close for comfort, to a point where he'd have to become vulnerable or state something outright, like probing about his father or the blood oath). And for a kid who's been burned by his father, let down by every adult who failed to step in including police, abandoned by his therapist, and groomed by a criminal, the level of unthinking comfort he shows with Max is probably nothing to sneeze at.
He's not letting this shit slip because he thinks she's benign, and it's not being dragged out of him either.
I think he trusts Max's intentions, and is scared knowing they're not in his favour, believing they could never be. He doesn't see his actions as redeemable and doesn't see the world as willing or able to help him, and in the end it kills him.
If he'd given himself a little more credit from the beginning, this whole thing could have resolved peacefully, without a confession costing his or Chloe's life. Funny, because that's exactly what Max is learning to do for herself throughout the week. These two really are great foils.

He didn't pursue Chloe at all after the bathroom incident. And she's the one he actually pulled a gun on. The one actually threatening to reveal what he did to her.

When Max tells on Nathan to Wells, Nathan is immediately called into his office. And that's that. That's all Max can do and when she did, nothing happened. He has no reason to believe Max is looking to bust him, or that she'd have any real possibility to, either. Just a random girl that happened to be there for an uncomfortable confrontation. And yet he keeps pressing.

I guess at the end of Episode 2, where Max in the potential presence of a police officer accuses Nathan of drugging Kate he has reason to be on her ass more, but it's still not like she really has anything on him nor that he can know that she is trying to actively investigate all that stuff. For all he knows she is completely uninvolved and just talked to Kate. Which, at that point, is essentially true. She didn't even watch the video as he rightly points out. I can't see what he has to be so afraid of with Max that he actually goes and trashes her room and everything. But I guess the video does support the idea that a lot of it is meant to be intimidation rather than infatuation.

As for your thoughts on the diner conversation, I can certainly see most of that holding true to some degree. Especially the "I think he trusts Max's intentions, and is scared knowing they're not in his favour, believing they could never be." part.
So what you are saying is that he kind of wants to turn her in his favour? Something along the lines of a slight hope that she can actually help him, like she says?

Max didn't bother to tell him, she's aware of everything but also doesn't want to hurt his feelings either. she just choose to ignore it. Well she doesn't even care about anybody except Chloe, even she ignored the giant tornado until episode 5. But this kid still doesn't take the fucking hint, although people considers him as smart.

>He didn't pursue Chloe at all after the bathroom incident. And she's the one he actually pulled a gun on. The one actually threatening to reveal what he did to her.
Max is in much closer quarters and can actually follow through with dobbing him in though. I'm not sure how he'd even get to Chloe. Plus, he sees in episode 1 that they're in cahoots.

>When Max tells on Nathan to Wells, Nathan is immediately called into his office. And that's that. That's all Max can do and when she did, nothing happened.
But she still did it, and he still got called in. That's a lot of balls on her part, and dangerous for him - Nathan can afford to be dragged in to Wells' office, but Jefferson's not going to like that kind of attention. And it's unclear if Jefferson ever knows about Nathan and Chloe's altercation, so it might also be dangerous for Nathan that he might find out.
And the extent of Nathan's pressing is the parking lot "don't fuck with me," and optionally going on to trash her room and intimidate her in class ONLY if she did continue pressing (he's still in class if she didn't report him, but his attitude is very neutral). For lack of a better phrase, I wouldn't say he's going overboard.

>So what you are saying is that he kind of wants to turn her in his favour? Something along the lines of a slight hope that she can actually help him, like she says?
Kind of the opposite, I think Nathan believes himself to be beyond or undeserving of help by the time Max rolls around. When he called her in episode 5, he could have finally asked for help, but instead he phrased it as an apologetic goodbye, like he's just a piece of shit and doing her a favour by getting out of her hair. Like he doesn't even see the desire to warn her as 'points' in his favour, just an admission of guilt before accepting his 'punishment'.
I think he has hope that she'll do the right thing, and believes that the right thing is for him to go down, which he's scared to allow.

Yeah, this irritates me. In episode 2, Warren actually has the balls to directly ask her to dinner in a text, and Max simply doesn't respond until he takes it back.

It's really sad, because this could have been a really cool story of unrequited love from the other side, and two kids learning how to get the balls to both face rejection and do some rejecting. But they tossed that out entirely in favour of pursuing a bullshit romance rout encapsulated by a 2 second awkward kiss. People who don't romance Warren don't even get the chance to cement a friend rout by rejecting him proper, in those runs he's just a completely pointless character.

It's not really a generalization. When someone constantly acts nicely to butter someone up and then doesn't get the result they want, they will eventually show their true colours.

Because he's an avatar for the writers, they're not going to create a character based off a sympathetic version of their teenage selves and then have him turn nasty if the player doesn't pick his 'route'. He has to be a perfect angel through and through to convey the plight of the beta nerd.

Those are not very strong arguments though you have to admit, especially not when the premise is that fear is the main drive of his actions.

> That's a lot of balls on her part, and dangerous for him
But how? Again, she did everything she can realistically do and ends being a threat at that point. If anything he should be more intimidating if she didn't already report the incident.
But you are right that not only is his pressing dependent to some degree on whether Max shows herself to be willing to oppose him, but that he'd maybe have reason to be afraid because of Jefferson. I think this is supported in the blame scene at the end of Episode 2 where Nathan seems more concerned with what Jefferson makes of the stuff Max says than both Wells and David and potnetially even the police officer. We know Jefferson let him know how disappointed he is in him after what happened to Rachel. And that Jefferson avoided Nathan, while Nathan was probably trying to reconcile. Max could represent his fear of that relationship completely falling out, and worse.

>Kind of the opposite
Oh, fair enough. But then back to the question I had problems seeing how you answered it there. What drives him to speak? I put that down to some effect Max has on him, i. e. developing feelings, but that's of course just one way to explain it. If he isn't trying to "get her on his side", why be so comparably open with her, why is he so comfortable that he actually lets stuff slip?

>>127453106
> But they tossed that out entirely in favour of pursuing a bullshit romance rout encapsulated by a 2 second awkward kiss.

Honestly, there's no romance route for this kid whatever you do. Because main character doesn't show him any affection canonically. Even if you kissed (way too ooc desu) him it will not have meaning or importance for Max afterwards unlike Chloe's kiss(if you did it) . It wasn't ''OMG OMG I LOVE HIM I'M IN LOVE WITH HIM'' moment; just ''i feel sorry for him and he's gonna die anyway'' moment. So you can't see love between them.
In the other hand Leave/ Hug( if you want to nice to him) is what canon Max would do tho; they put 2 friendzone option. I mean her feelings towards him very obvious from the start. (we even have no unoptional reactions towards him even hug,which's strange)
