I would pay $20 for a DLC of Max trying on different, customizable outfits in her room. Make that $40. I would pay $60 if Vampyr had a lesbian vampire Max in it.

This groundbreaking new genre of game will fade away in the ocean of CODs and MMOs
The first and the last. :(

Anyone have the picture of the phone showing how long they had to evacuate the city. get to shelter.

For better or worse, this may be one of the cases where Dontnod's poor track record at keeping small details like this consistent comes to help them out. They've messed up so many things in the past (is Blackwell a final-year only school or not; various birth dates are different in different locations; important licence plates are all over the game despite being used in a puzzle for specific cars; various characters are said to have been born in Arcardia Bay despite this not making sense; the Everyday Heroes contest dates were incorrect despite being an important plot point; and so on), that I'd be willing to accept that they just fucked up the time on the phone or texts.

Can we construct a much more detailed timeline of the storm's progression based on the timing of other texts Max gets at the gallery? It's unclear exactly how quickly things got bad. Seems like folks like Joyce, Warren, Frank (dependent), etc, were near/around the Two Whales for breakfast, then took shelter when the tornado full on struck (based on Warren's text). I guess if shit is getting flung around all this time, it'd be hard for them to want to try to escape ... but there are still a shitload of people just milling about outside regardless. I guess we'd be led to believe that the storm kinda whipped itself up pretty quickly ... then just hung out at sea for a few hours, causing a ton of damage at the outskirts, before finally "deciding" to make it's final move into the town?

>>121827589

Thing is, people use those timestamps to say people had enough time to seek shelter. But then, when cars where already sent flying about three hours before the storm even reached the shore, what would that mean for the chances of survival once it does? More even, when we are in town we see it threw entire trains around before hitting land. And it also means it was already next to impossible for many to seek shelter at that point, let alone have any form of organized evacuation.

If anything, the whole scale of the tornado is a massive fuckup by dontnod. The amount of damage we see in the ending is nowhere near what it should have been judging from everything we learn. I just think they never meant for people to seriously argue about the amount of damage and casualties this thing would have ~reasonably~ lead to. The idea of "sacrifizing" is clearly meant that we have to be willing to have even every single one die. The devs said themselves that the idea behind that ending is not to look back or regret, which translates to Max essentially giving a fuck who died and who didn't and why.

>>121829073
No way Warren has an otter spirit animal.
His is a kekoo.

>>121828704
If i'm not misateken (an I never am) the devs have done confirmed on the rachel not being bluejay on occasion of the livestream.

This.
I was expecting the entire Bay to get fucking leveled, annihilated.

Instead it was merely a couple of damaged buildings, a few cars overturned, and lots of trash in the streets.

Anybody got the exact words they said? Did watch the livestream.

Why didn't you guys choose Bay, its clearly the only choice. Every choice you make to try and help Chloe ends up causing her more pain and grief. Why not just let her go?

>>121829203
Yeah, this is kind of what I meant by my comment about the fact that there were still so many people milling about in the middle of town (especially Evan). Whales, trains, cars, RVs, etc, had all been thrown around. People had seemingly been taking shelter for hours. But there are still a few reasonably-able people still knocking about in the main street? Uhh ...

It's entirely selfish, but it's also entirely human nature to protect your loved ones before you begin to care for strangers. 95% of bayfags would have picked Chloe if they were in her shoes, and the remaining 5% are just literal psychopaths.

>>121829471
>>121830532
Yeah, the dev did confirm that the Bluejay is not supposed to be Rachel Amber. I can't remember the exact words (there may be some leeway about these animals "BEING" Rachel, or "REPRESENTING" Rachel, but eh).

The thing is, he was pretty sly about a LOT of this sort of stuff. He pulled an awful lot of "I refuse to confirm or deny" for all sorts of questions about fan theories, what things are supposed to represent, etc. One particular moment was when talking to the homeless woman behind the diner in Ep2 - his co-streamer asked about the theory that she was an elderly version of Max, and he just kinda slyly smiled and said that he wasn't going to comment. He was more-or-less the same about the spirit animals, and despite confirming that the cairns are related to the Tobanga, he was similarly sly about it's meaning.

BUT, in other places, he flat out explains what things are directly supposed to mean without any issue. What's the meaning behind the nightmare sequence? "It's all in Max's subconcious, it's a representation of her fears, blah, blah". There were a few parts here and there where he openly gave the answer to questions that the game had left open (eg. Rachel Amber's letter in the junkyard was taking about Jefferson, not Frank).

So ... why? The nightmare sequence itself seems to be THE sequence that they'd deliberately want US to interpret ourselves, but he just happily announced what it was supposed to mean. But then he refuses to talk about what some of the other, more mysterious elements of the game mean - the elements people were constantly asking him about?

I still doubt this is stuff that has no meaning. I still feel like the writers have at least some vague idea of what these elements all mean, and what role they have to play. But why is it still off limits when so much other stuff isn't?

>>121831608

>>121832364
Well, I can understand them not wanting to answer things quite yet. The game has only just finished, there is likely still a reasonable number of people who will still jump into the game in the next few months (especially with Christmas/holidays coming up). No sense throwing everything out there when there are probably a fair number of sales still to grab.

But on the other hand, I still think it's weird how selective he was. BIIIIIG open-for-interpretation parts of the game were explained like they were nothing; while numerous seemingly-minor items got a wink and a "I neither confirm nor deny". Why?

I hope they drop some bomb on us in a few months, explaining some deeper overarching meaning of everything based on a whole bunch of stuff we've overlooked. But the more time that passes, the less likely this scenario seems to be.

Isn't choosing Bay the one that's selfish? You played the game, you made your choices, you saved Chloe's life. Now you want to go back to the past to undo everything just so you don't have to deal with the consequences of your actions? That is ultimately the pinnacle of cowardice and selfishness.

>>121833194
But at the end Chloe asks you to kill her, to save her mum and the other. Isn't forcing her to live with that knowledge more selfish.

Has render anon made any new shots? I absolutely love their work.

>>121833325
No, because the past is the past and you need to start living in the present and stop relying on your time rewind to fix everything. What Max did at that moment in time when she saved the girl in the bathroom was the right thing to do and without the knowledge of the future, she would always do it again. Now she has to grow up and deal with the consequences, no matter how retardedly illogical they may be.

Also, Chloe never asks you to kill her, she explicitly states that it's Max's choice and she knows Max will do the right thing, whatever she chooses.

It's a balancing act between giving people some pointers as otherwise the main story doesn't really makes sense to many and just lacks depth so many people thought it had - and not taking people's theories and headcanons officially away because not only would that upset a lot of people that invested time and effort into coming up with those but it would also negatively affect future sale potential. As it stands people will still talk about a bunch of stuff in the game, so leaving a whole lot as open is likely deliberate. And of course a lot of the stuff in the game never had any thorough thought behind it to begin with and was put in there for fun and to get people thinking without having to do so themselves. Take the homeless lady. She was just a cheap drop-in to help establish the eerie atmosphere and strengthen the "evil Prescotts" theme. I don't think they ever even wasted a single thought about her being more than that, but of course they are more than happy that other people do. Same with the "multiple universes" thing. That's a hot fad in modern science and sci-fi alike and just the hint of it seems to give the game interpretational depth when really it makes no difference to the story whatsoever.

Usually the writer leaves enough in there to connect dots with and have at least a reasonably clear picture that only relies on a few key assumptions. Here a lot of dots were simply never meant to be connected and some of the underlying mysteries just discarded completely. The Rachel thing is the only one that's more or less satisfyingly established between the lines, but then that guy goes and says the dream is merely Max's subconscious ramblings and thereby puts a considerable kink in that theory...
The nightmare is just a large part of the final episode that had a lot of people really confused, so he kind of felt compelled to comment on it I guess. Did he really leave no room for interpretation there?

This. It always blows my mind how so many bayfags seem to suffer from genuine autism that they absolutely cannot understand what would go through Chloe's mind in that situation and that they take her words 100% at face value. Obviously she wants to do the brave and selfless thing and sacrifice herself for the good of others, but she also desperately wants Max to choose her over everyone else.

That's what the whole abandonment issue thing throughout all episodes was leading up to. Chloe's constant fear of always losing the ones she loves the most and Max reassuring her that she's not like those others and that she will never leave her. Choosing Bay over Chloe means you break your promise once and for all and do the ultimate act of selfishness, to travel back to the past to let your best friend die and free yourself from all responsibility of the consequences of YOUR actions.

Fuck, several days since i ended the game and i'm pretty sure that it took a part of my soul. I'm fucking sad and melancholic thinking about a lot of shit about my own life and i cannot feel better.

This motherfuckers have made a group of characters to love and hate in a unforgetable relate, so well made, with so much humanity on it that i cannot do nothing but look back and remember when i was so young and innocent that i also thought like Max that i could sacrifice everything for just one person.

Yes, Life is strange. And fucking fast.

>... and not taking people's theories and headcanons officially away ...
But that's the thing - he explained away a whole bunch of different fan theories/head canons without care. Who was Jefferson on the phone to in Ep2? Nobody. Who was Rachel Amber's letter in the junkyard about? Jefferson. What was the deal with Samuel having a bunch of Rachel's stuff? She was just friendly with him and shared some of her pics (??). All of these have been points of a lot of community discussion and fan theorising ... but he just blew them out of the water. And I'll fall back to the nightmare scene as well - lots of different community interpretations ... "nope, it's just X".

Why was he so selective in what was worth debunking or not? Why act so sly over some things, but totally uninterested in others? This is the point I don't get. And I'm not sure whether to interpret it as "these points had some legitimacy or added importance", or "they just added these elements willy nilly and he didn't want to admit they didn't really mean anything". Or something.

>As it stands people will still talk about a bunch of stuff in the game, so leaving a whole lot as open is likely deliberate.
Sure. I'm just curious to know why some stuff was chosen to leave mysterious and other stuff (including BIG stuff) was trivial to explain.

>I don't think they ever even wasted a single thought about her being more than that, but of course they are more than happy that other people do.
I agree. So why was he acting so coy about her? He happily said "nah, that was just to give some backstory, set the scene, or it's not actually a super important detail" about a number of other elements of the game. If the homeless woman was jus a bit of world-building, why not be so coy about it?

>>121834425
>Did he really leave no room for interpretation there?
The main competing theories were "it's Max's subconscious", and "it's created by Rachel Amber to mess with Max for some reason". Both had a lot of compelling arguments in favour of them, and neither were totally mutually exclusive. And while both are interesting, the Rachel Amber interpretation implies a lot more behind-the-scenes. Instead, nope, it's just Max's subconscious, she was just having a bit of an episode. Doh.

I think explaining this part is especially silly, because the more they keep Rachel Amber's potential role in all the supernatural stuff ambiguous, the more there is for us to try to piece things together and keep the mystery afloat. But more and more they just seem to knock it down. If they want to keep the "mysterious" parts of the game "mysterious" by not explaining it all, why jump around debunking various parts of the mysteries ... especially the, arguably, more interesting parts?

Why don't they just paint over existing character models? It's not like anyone gives a shit about artistic integrity in an entirely derivative fan game. They already do it for the backgrounds anway. The end result would look way more professional and pleasing for the eye.

I only caught very little of the stream, so I didn't get that impression of disparity of the information given away first hand.

I guess some of it is more important to the main plot rather then the underlying mystery and that's why he was more willing to comment on it? Jefferson's call has nothing to do with any mystery - it would have to do with the dark room to be relevant for the story. But it can't be relevant for the dark room because he wasn't talking to Nathan and nobody else is involved, or so the story wants us to believe. Being ambiguous here would just make it obvious he is talking out of his ass.
Same with Rachel's letter. It doesn't give the story more depth or add anything to the time travel/magic mysteries, it's pretty obvious by the end who she was involved with and how, so he just didn't think he was giving anything away there. Samuel still is kind of weird even if Rachel was just friendly with him. We don't know why he'd even keep it in his shed and what he has to say about Rachel is still just as weird.

You do have a point though, it's strange he would act as reluctant to give more banal stuff away as if there's something to be learned there while just throwing other stuff out there. If he really just said "the nightmare is Max's subconscious speaking", i. e. left no room for the idea that Rachel is inducing it, calling upon her subconscious, inhabiting it, etc. - then that would go against his general attitude of keeping things vague. But at that point I would just call BS honestly. You yourself pointed out how "Rachel" the nightmare is. The freaking doe guides us through it. So yeah, will have to listen to what he said exactly.

I'm not sure if Liam actually knows Warren is legit 16 as well. It explains a lot that he's younger than most of the rest of the cast.

At 16 most guys, and indeed quite a few girls, are really not representative of what they will be like. Hormones and the sudden realization that you like other humans sexually... coupled with the emotional stupidity of a kid.

After all if he thinks men are so close to it, who's his closest frame of reference? Himself of course. Maybe he gets bad thoughts sometimes.

Pat is surprisingly SJW despite seeming like he isn't at face value.

Woolie is honestly just not that smart but I really respect that he doesn't bother commenting on social issues and just talks about dumb weeb shit and fighting games.

Matt's a moody bitch but he can be really entertaining. Didn't realize he was a bit of an SJW too, what makes you say that?

>... and the meaning of the nightmare is obvious ...
But this is the point - there are multiple valid interpretations of the nightmare, there isn't one single "obvious" meaning. Heck, it arguably doesn't make sense for it to be something Max has concocted on her own, because it includes details Max shouldn't have known (the dorm allocations for the year previous; the extent of the Rachel vs. Victoria bullying; etc).

>>121848853
We only just found the wine bottle in Kate's room (visible in-game since Ep2) a month or so ago. We've gone through a lot of the game files, but we've hardly done it in any systematic or thorough way (part of the reason there is a new audio file posted every few days). And that's just stuff found through the game files, let alone discussion interpretations of stuff we already know about. We almost certainly HAVE overlooked a reasonable amount of stuff. It's just unlikely that any of it is particularly important.

Well you know what? Fuck her. You don't get to kill an entire town just because your owner is hospitalized. I love Alice and all her fur, but this ending is just fucked right the hell up.

Max and Chloe left all the clues up on the board. He/Joyce (if David was kicked out) probably got worried when Chloe didn't show up for a while and searched her room. If David got kicked out, Joyce probably searches the room and then contacts David.

Not sure about the code.

>>121849529

It's funny because that was the moment that I thought "wow, this episode isn't so bad afterall, the devs are pretty cool!"
Then... the ending rolled around.

David is a combat veteran. I think he is capable of opening a door.

>>121849912
I just double checked - we knew about it from the game files months earlier, but it was assumed it wasn't actually in game. Then using no-clip, it was found hidden in Kate's room on September 14th.

http://strangimation.tumblr.com/post/129056383790/a-rare-non-render-post-so-weve-known-for-months

As far as I've been able to find, this was the earliest discovery of the bottle. It has since been posted to a few other websites, and nobody has seemingly mentioned an earlier discovery. So the "a month or so ago" is pretty correct.

Potentially a lot of stuff still to find.

Why does a David who was kicked out take as much time to get to the Dark Room as a David that wasn't? Wouldn't the time from the hotel or Joyce's house make all the difference in terms of minutes, between Max living and dying?

>>121850575

>>121850259
>David in this timeline has no knowledge of that or the Dark Room under the barn

He worked as a security consultant for the Prescotts. He probably installed that security system himself.

>>121850739
Because making your choices matter would take money and effort.

>>121850064

Max and Chloe broke the outer lock and had the code on their detective board, plus the faded numbers on the pad. If a couple of teen girls can crack it, I'm sure David can.

I assume they were originally going to have other possible rescuers for Max depending on her choices throughout the game. Eg, David if he's your bro, Frank if he's alive+bro, Nathan if he's alive+brah. But since the latter two's fates are determinant, in a pinch they had to just make it David by default because muh budget. And I'm convinced his ridiculously incompetent fighting was originally mocap'd for Frank because it's just the only way I can sleep at night.
I guess if Joyce noticed Chloe was missing, she would have called him and they could have found the board, if you have to squint your way around it to make it make sense.

Why would Joyce call David when he's been kicked out, as far as she knows he makes weird folders about girls and installs cameras around the house without telling her, probably thinks he's a creep.

Also one of the outcomes in ep5 is restoring Joyce's faith in David, so...

There's that word again. "It's not explicitly explained" is not a "plot hole".

>He doesn't have the code, and it's not a door that can just be opened ordinarily.
Assuming the door is even closed at this point. Jefferson had seemingly been in and out a few times. At the point where David enters, Jefferson had already removed Victoria from the room ... and he was about to kill Max, so he'd be needing to remove her as well. It's possible he just left the door propped open for this.

Further, David should have all the same clues at his disposal that Max/Chloe had. Even if the door was closed, there's no reason to assume he wouldn't get in the same way they did.

>How did he even get there in the first place - what part of him assumed 'the barn I photographed once MUST be where Max has been taken to'?
From the clue board? Max and Chloe had already lined up the relevant information, and Chloe had been Google Maps'ing the location before they left.

>David won't have been tipped off about Jefferson/the Dark Room in the timeline this takes place
Does he need to be? Storm's a-raging, so he's probably looking for Chloe. She's missing. Finds a bread trail of clues in her room associated with his own investigations, Nathan Prescott and Frank. Reason enough to think she might be in trouble and go looking for her.

>A David who was kicked out of the house will not realise Max & Chloe are missing ...
Unless he's looking for them to make sure they're safe from the storm?

>>121851421

>>121850575
I like your enthusiasm and I'd hope there are still things to reveal or that maybe even dontnod is waiting to do that some time in the future, but I can't help but feel that we just have to accept the game was never as dense as it seemed. And even if there is more to be found (from datamining the nightmare for example), it's as you said yourself very unlikely it would bear any particular importance. Take Kate's bottle. Nicely hidden detail. Means nothing. Or the graffiti that's all over the place. Just "atmospheric" noise.

On the other hand, I can imagine that, looking at a potential sequel, maybe they are indeed holding their cards close because they are looking to extend the mysteries beyond the first season. That would also explain why they pulled this ungraceful "we will never know :)" bullshit after building up to it for a year. But yeah, right now I'm just too disappointed to believe they have some masterplan.

>>121851332

I don't know what Joyce says about him in the diner if he was kicked out because me and David are totes womb to tomb, but it makes sense to me that if your daughter's in trouble you'll be willing to call up your very very recent ex just in case he knows something or can sleuth her out.

But I'm not saying this was planned or that it makes total sense, and I'm damn sure not saying it's satisfying. Just that it's probably the compromise they went with.

>>121851483

Que?

>>121851443
I was hoping Frank could do so. All Nathan would have had to do is call Frank like he did Max, but say he knew who killed Rachel and where he is, and Frank doesn't even need directions - Nathan texted them to him the night of the drug deal on the 4th, so they could drug Kate again.

Frank wouldn't need the code, he can lockpick (He taught Chloe how to) the Dark Room door has a manual, normal keyhole lock as well as a code operated one.

>>121851927
Why the fuck would you not just enter the code instead of lock picking the door? It's obviously easier.

>>121851927
Maybe whether or not he was injured, and Pompidou's fate could play into how well he'd fight Jefferson.
Actually having to control Pompidou as well as keeping Frank safe from harm a la David would be even harder.
I wish this was ingame now, this'd have been great.

But yeah, right now I'm just too disappointed to believe they have some masterplan.

They've said from the beginning that a second season would have a new cast and new story, I doubt it'll be connected at all. They can't even use their fucking rewind mechanic anymore now that they abruptly decided that the thing of which they said "don't worry about it, no one sees her teleporting around, it's just a game mechanic, we aint gotta explain shit" is suddenly the crux of the entire stupid plot.

Unless it was clear all too soon that they'd fuck episode 5 up due to lack of money, and decided to go with something simple that still doesn't contradict what they originally planned, and will go on to explain it in some way in the sequel (even if they're using new characters).
I mean, the storm could still be down to the Prescotts, since the bathroom incident hugely affects them too, it might just be Max and Chloe's mistake thinking it was about Chloe's death. We've pointed out before that Max's contest entry is no longer on the floor since she's already torn it up in this timeline, which is an earlier change she never corrected, so they might be getting cheeky on us - otherwise, why remove the photo from the floor?
But I have no legitimate hope, and I'm not sure I'd feel any better if they went with something like that anyway.

Just abandon all hope. It's easier.

The dark room escape really should have been the thing that reflects your choices throughout the game that way, and allows you to make other significant choices/puzzle solving in how you go about escaping.

We've previously discussed how badly it sticks out that all the minor choices you can make in the episode happen within the span of half an hour, saving people outside the diner, despite the entire diner excursion being made for the sake of undoing all of this ever fucking happening. It really seems all that shit was an afterthought. Especially dragging Alyssa back into it AGAIN when episode 4 quite cleanly capped off her little running gag.

No, that's stupid and has been officially debunked by the developers. Fate never wanted Chloe dead, the universe simply got pissed that Max used her powers to change an event that already happened and in retaliation, it summoned a tornado. That's it. The blood god of Arcadia Bay is satisfied with the sacrifice of the town.

>>121852419
Well, they were in the early stages of bouncing ideas around last we heard and they only talked about wanting to do a new cast, a "new story" in the sense that it would not be related to the first season was never stated as far as I know. Nothing is solid yet, especially not as far as we know.

A lot of people have been wondering just what the overarching link between season one and a potential second could be. And saying that nobody would want to play a prequel-sequel because we know what happens. Well, extending the mystery themes of the first season to a second and promising to resolve them there could be just that link and attract the season 1 crowd.

I'm not optimistic either, but who knows. It's just strange that they would construct an as rich character story and seemingly as deep mystery plot alongside it only to throw most of the latter away in the end, and do so as bluntly at that. Maybe we'll eat our words. I'm not holding my breath either though, of course.

And there's that cut audio of Jefferson saying he needs to deal with Nathan (So he could have been alive) so if you also hadn't messed with Nathan he could help too.
Imagine all of them though, if you played it right.

That'd have been great and they could have used all their strengths = Nathan knows the layout & code, David has experience of combat (strategy), Frank could be used as brawn, could be armed with a blowtorch or knife (He's also a head taller than Max while David & Jefferson only slightly so, and you'd try and harm the more physically threatening, heavily tattooed guy first in a fight) and set Pompidou - former fighting ring dog - to maul Jefferson....

Yeah, but they said leading up to ep5 that Max and Chloe's story was officially going to be over, so it seems like they have the same attitude.
I guess they could revisit the same plot without Max and Chloe, but I dunno.

>>121853573
Maybe that's it. Max stole a life from the many faced god but didn't give one in return. Killing Nathan would have solved everything. A life for a life. Or Max could have just done the brave and honorable thing and sacrificed herself, like what every other time travel protagonist in fiction usually does in her situation.

>>121853573
Aye, that or talk to him before chloe comes in, that's all that was needed.

>>121853887
but we sacrificed Kate and it didn't stop the storm -_-

I still don't really get why, if the tornado was retaliation for Max undoing an event that was supposed to be fixed in time, she was given a vision of the storm before she even knew she could time travel, let alone avert timelines. It just doesn't make much sense for Max to have a premonition of a future that didn't exist until she altered history at a point in the timeline where she had yet to realize her powers. It doesn't work as a vision of the future, because it's a future that outright didn't exist in the point in time she was in when she got it.
