That premise is kind of off-putting, but maybe I'll give it a try. Not like there's an abundance of fics I haven't already read or decided not to read, so if I end up liking them despite that I will have a lot of new stuff to read through.

>>149217949
Understandable. They were pretty far out there and I dropped it for a while because I didn't like the premise and then I got bored and started reading it again. I definitely like the second story more because of how it treats the rewind power as something and for the arcs it gives to some of the side characters. Especially Nathan.

Summer needs shade.
Death awaits outside.
The weather reminds me solace can't be found.
I don't like this feeling.
I talk to myself cause no ones listening and I don't care.
My youth stays inside.
Fun is blinding, calms the nervous sight.
But I don't like the sun in my eyes waiting.
The more I stare I feel cheated when aging.
Hey June.
I want to feel safe.
Please stay for a while.
Fear induced my mind into exile.
I know;
I just want to be in the shade with everyone I need.

I like Pricefield. Not a fan of OT3s(+) in general, but especially for Max and Chloe. It's unfair and uncharacteristic to make them have to share their affection with others like that. They can have all the friends they want like Rachel, Kate, Vic, etc., but the dating and romance will be exclusive. Which is what Max and Chloe want and part of what they fought for. I believe that Rachel would respect that too.

Yeah, Rachel LOVES the cock. Same with that slut dana

>>149225670
She really isn't. Which is kind of funny because she's the one that helped Chloe realize that she is one. Really is too bad that they never got to honestly lay out their feelings and settle what they were/weren't. Would have saved Rachel a lot of time hiding things and saved Chloe a lot of questions and grief.

>>149225920
Dana is not a slut!

>>149225670
I like that Rachel is straight while also being the person to make Chloe realize she's not. I think it adds more to both of their characters and their relationship than "they were GFs" would have. Also, Rachel being the super supportive straight friend of Max and Chloe is too cute.

>>149227057
Agreed entirely. It is a very interesting and very touching aspect. Chloe probably knew Rachel didn't love her the same way, and never claimed that she did. Chloe's words were how she loved Rachel, Rachel was someone that saved her in some way and helped her figure out who she was.
As much as Max heard about Rachel, I'm sure that Rachel heard about Max and realized that was who Chloe belonged with. That's why she never felt bad about not being with Chloe, she knew Max would return someday (And that's without touching the whole "Rachel gave Max her powers" stuff).
I could see Rachel trying to convince Chloe to call or email Max when she was in Seattle, but Chloe's low self-esteem and fear prevented her from doing so.

>>149226350
>>149227057
>>149227938
Agreed. The theme of unrequited love is one complexion it adds to Chloe, and it also shows that she is not romantically aggressive at all, harboring a crush for years. That way we know her bashfulness with Max is not only her trying to test the waters, not wanting to rush things or ruin something that's just beginning to come together again - it's also part of her personality. She is very cautious with emotions, which obviously stems from emotional connections having been "betrayed" in her past.

There not having been a romantic relationship between the two also helps establish the idea that it weren't simply happy times for Chloe either. That there was always heaviness in her life, clinging desperately to Rachel and what she represents even though she knows it's futile both romantically and emotionally.

For Rachel it adds to her mystique first and foremost. As "Chloe's girlfriend" things would have been all too easy. This way there's a suspicion for much of the earlier episodes that Rachel could have also been intentionally deceptive, ill-intended even. We never really knew where she stood exactly until the end (and in parts, beyond that).

Hold on a second, I just want to clarify... Is this all role-playing, or is it actually canon that Max and/or Chloe are gay? The actual events of the game, as far as I can tell, seem to suggest that it was meant to be purposely ambiguous.

Play through it again and it will be painfully obvious that Max lusts after Chloes cunt. I missed it myself during my first playthrough because I'm an autistic faggot that can't pick up on shit like that but she's hella gay. It's good to know I'm not the only retard though.

It is canon that Chloe is at least bi. She says she's had crush on Rachel and it's obvious she loves Max.

Whatever Max is, she's canonically into Chloe. She kisses her and writes in her journal wondering about her feelings. A major part of the story is pretty unambigously supposed to be her realizing her love for Chloe.

I've just taken to calling Max a Chloesexual. She has no preference for boys or girls, only for things that remind her of Chloe Price.

>>149228652
Max is bi, despite what a lot of people in here will argue. There is evidence for her swinging both ways regardless of which how you play the game. The fact that she is into Chloe is undeniable, though.

Chloe is gay, or at least bi with a heavy preference towards girls. Her only romantic interests are Max and Rachel. She's had sex with boys but that is treated as a past thing, something that didn't occur after meeting Rachel.

>>149228995
I don't remember the crush on Rachel being talked about explicitly, but I certainly believe it. And yeah I'm a casual who didn't read all the journal entries, so I'm sure I missed a lot. I doubt they wanted to make it overly about sexuality though, just because it would cheapen a lot of the emotional experiences in the game.

>>149230068
Absolutely. First of all, Max isn't a very sexual person at all to begin with. And then the romance between her and Chloe is explored quietly, as something fragilely growing, latently adding layers to their interactions, characters and the story.

It's great this way. Both the friends-gone-lovers format in general as well as just the idiosyncracies of these characters specifically allow it to be something that feels very natural. There's no "Am I gay?!; Oh god, I'm gay!" or anything of the like. It's showing, not telling. ...Very subtly showing. Some people, even in here, have (often reasonably) argued that it is ultimately too subtle. I think it does lack a few key "Pricefield" scenes at a few key times, but overall it still works very well, and I seriously wonder what it takes someone not to catch Chloe's feelings for Max.

They talk about Rachel in Episode 3. After standing up from the bed, you can chat up Chloe and Max says "You totally crushed on Rachel", and she answers "You would have too! Smart, sexy, sassy - like me".

And I don't know whether you are aware of it, but they literally french kiss in one ending. That it just happens in the one doesn't matter - it shows that at this point of their relationship, they can kiss each other.

Yeah, I suppose even the "heat of the moment" factor in such a situation can't explain that kiss. And I dunno, I thought Chloe didn't seem too receptive in situations like the kiss dare or the "morning grope", but maybe I'm just an autist who can't interpret tone.

>kiss dare
Well, she's the one who even created that situation! And she's more flustered than unreceptive. Again, she's not romantically aggressive, but she still gets physical and emotional with Max all throughout the week: hugging her fiercely all the time, complimenting and encouraging her, daring her to a kiss, wanting her to sleep over, getting flustered both at the kiss and at seeing Max take off her clothes, teasingly flirting with her. There could have been more outright romantical hints, but these were pretty obvious already, especially considering there are countless more subtle pieces.

>"morning grope"
You have to see Chloe's perspective here. She'd spend the night with Max and out of the complete blue Max is all stormy and up in her shit. That's irritating. The irritation also serves a narrative intention of contrasting her AU self against her original one: Max herself says she was "so happy to see Chloe's pissed-off face again", contrasting Chloe's dead-like (or literally dead) tranquility of the AU against her more troubled and distressed state in the OU, highlighting that the latter is really "her", despite and because of it. "In My Mind" driving that point home.

...But I agree, I would have expected her to be a little more receptive after the initial reaction, maybe lingering a hand on Max's arm or whatever.

Still, it's all pretty obvious. Don't think that quite makes you an "autist who can't interpret tone", but yeah, you might want to improve your hint-spotting-game. Could actually help you.

I don't know you, and will spare you "don't give up on yourself!" babble, but if not intuitively, you can still try to appreciate more nuanced and subtle hints like this intellectually.

It's sad enough that this layer of the story didn't impact your game experience, but retrospectively realizing it can be a worthwhile experience too. I know my thoughts and feelings about certain aspects of the game have changed with time and in retrospection. Replaying with all that in mind later is also a possibility. It really makes for a wonderfully slightly tense atmosphere when you can sense the romance in it. More even, I would say you can really only appreciate the multilayered significance of the moments between them in Episode 1 when you replay with all that and the feelings and the knowledge about them your acquired over the rest of the season in mind.

Oh no, I can certainly pick up on those things, it's just a matter of how I interpret them. But yeah, I definitely plan on replaying the game once things have had time to settle in my mind. Sometimes replaying or rewatching can be depressing, though - you're more aware of the fact that things have to end somewhere, and you no longer have that sense of infinite possibility.

>Yeah, now that I think about it she did seem more surprised than genuinely weirded out by the kiss.

This post reminded me of that stupid discussions (10 months ago) in plebbit and in some various places.

About how warryncucks are chickened out after episode 3 and discussing about that kiss, about it was just a dare, gal pals can kiss each others, it's pretty normal, thinking Max and Chloe's relationship is choice depenant, also were saying ''am I the only one who sees them as friends guyz?'' etc. There was also a guy who were saying bay ending's kiss was just showing how close friends they are.

Man, this game's fandom...

>>149236843
The interpretation of those things depends to a degree on your intuitive ability to pick up on them "accurately", but I'm glad to hear it's more the one than the other.

I agree with your thought on re-visiting a work of fiction. I wouldn't even say, overall, LiS isn't too replay-worthy a game. Or replay-suited, rather. Even in disregarding the finale.

But there's some incentive. You said you haven't read the journal, and judging by the fact that you didn't talk to Chloe about Rachel in Episode 3, I think it's fair to assume you didn't explore the game too exhaustively? Both of which definite reasons to replay if you care about the game. And then there's what I said about the interactions between Chloe and Max specifically - but also events in general - of the earlier episodes gaining significance retrospectively, and that's more tangible in replaying.

(There's obviously detrimental effects of this too though; for example, the mystery, intrigue and general ominous atmosphere mostly suffers from the knowledge and feelings acquired over the rest of the season. The mood isn't as enchanting when you know where it all must lead. Luckily the game often still allows for you to lose yourself in the moment - I can still boot it up and "collectible mode" some scene or watch these "Moments of Calm": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ny587c5tVlo)

>>149237487
I don't give two fucks about fandom/board politics, I'm just curious as to what the devs' actual intent was. I'm sure fans of both ships have their own biased interpretations.

>>149237782

Yeah, I hadn't really thought about it but there are still plenty of other choice options that I haven't tried yet (for example, saving Kate). I don't regret not being completionist on my first playthrough though, I think that would've made it feel less real. And if I can regain even a moment of immersion by revisiting it, it'll be worthwhile.

>The interpretation of those things depends to a degree on your intuitive ability to pick up on them "accurately"

Maybe, but I try not to think about it, things like this tend to trigger the ol' paranoia.

>>149238609
>>149238353
Really? Chloe, just like in the cripple timeline, wanted to die on some level. She has low self-esteem and guilt in spades. You can't imagine that after Max sacrificed an entire town, including Chloe's mother and stepfather, to save her, Chloe might become a little resentful?That she'd feel like she was living more for Max than for herself? Like the pressure was too much? Seems reasonable to me.

Logical concerns aside, both endings were intended to be tragic. I don't want to infringe on anyone's personal Arcadia, but we're talking about what's realistic.

Between Max having "left" her and her abandonment issues (and the underlying damaged sense of self-worth), leaving could be an interesting premise. Not that I can see it, but that's as you say precisely why it could be interesting. (>>149238905 - It's unrealistic because in the game week, Chloe suffers through the absolute worst together with Max, heals in the process and does nothing but grow closer to her; the idea of her leaving from there is not narratively or characterally consistent. An author would have to set that up, and it would require a lot of setup indeed.)

The thought however of her being fine with having left Max, starting a whole new life that becoming a private detective would indicate, and randomly bumping into her again sounds awful indeed. What I'd want someone to explore there should be something more compelling, certainly having to do more with how they are drawn, excruciatingly, to each other again.

>>149239107
>not being completionist
Oh, by all means. I agree. Keep it natural. Your playthrough is your playthrough, thoughts your thoughts. But reading the journal at times is pretty rewarding, as is some of the unprompted conversation.

>even a moment of immersion'll be worthwhile
I think so.

>Seems reasonable to me.
I could see her leaving hastily in a profound state of distress as one of her reckless emotional responses. But first of all I don't see her as suicidal on any level. And then the events of the game week have me convinced that they'd be able to, if they are at all to, make it through that together.

Anyway, just characterally it's unrealistic that she'd leave her. Her love for Max and fear of abandonment vastly outweigh her self-esteem issues. Especially since Max helps her overcome those. The choice in the end is ultimately the latter. They are drawn, emotionally and otherwise, to each other so strongly I just can't see any such impulse tearing them apart, over short and long.

She was willing to sacrifice herself pretty readily, and it's established throughout the game that her tough exterior is hiding strong feelings of inferiority and abandonment. I don't think any of what I said was based on "headcanon".

That was before reuniting with Max, while she was thinking that she abandoned her. And yes, you're still adding things from your headcanon.

>>149240325
Besides, with these two I actually think I wouldn't even pursue "realistic" fiction if it meant anything but having them together, however interesting. I can experience realistic romance wherever - I choose to believe, indulge in the idea, and am frankly convinced that Max and Chloe are soulmates, connected by more than biochemistry and brain electricity. Fate, True Love, the supernatural - whatever. I enjoy being an esoteric romantic with these two.

>>149240328

That's not true. She was devastated at the thought.

You're right, actually, since now that I think about it she already knew that Max had sacrificed William for her and she seemed very understanding of that choice. I'm just a bit of a pessimist about these things, and my assessment of Chloe might be skewed by that.

>>149240728
Even after Max, she still felt that way about Rachel and William. Some people can't be fixed within a week (although I suppose it was really quite a bit more than that). Anyway, I don't want to argue, everyone sees things differently.

>I'm just a bit of a pessimist about these things
I see a lot of things to be pessimistic about in the end. Max and Chloe's relationship was just never one of them. Maybe that is about the difference in our intuitive sensibilities or whatever. Realistically, of course even the most loving people are not guaranteed a life together... And I can intellectualize things there and have it gain a pessimistic edge. But even so, it is all, on both an intuitive and intellectual level, overwhelmingly optimistic as far as "Max plus Chloe" is concerned in my mind. That's just what I feel and think. We won't be able to objectively assess "love" anyway, so that's that. Your thoughts on this mostly aren't unreasonable, and who would I be to question your feelings' legitimacy.

>>149241745
We tend to!

I can't find it right now unfortunately, but I'd once read a fic where Max leaves Chloe and comes back after Joyce calls her and tells her Chloe tried to kill herself. And while it wasn't finished and didn't feel finished, the premise was set up rather well. Maybe I'll find it tonight.

>>149242238
>The thought of dying?
Is at what she puts her face into her hands and her voice breaks into sobbing. She doesn't want to die. Doesn't want to accept it. She (tragically) thinks she should.

Yeah, this is more accurate. I guess it's just a matter of whether you see her calling herself selfish and undeserving as an entirely circumstantial thing, or indicative of an overarching "guilty-child" complex, which is less likely.

I agree, I'm just trying not to underestimate the impact that such a catastrophic event would have. But they've weathered storms before, they will again. It was mostly just an interesting theory that I hadn't considered before, so I ran with it.

>>149244008
I do think it is indicative of a complex. A damaged sense of self-worth. The notion that you could deserve to die. Like that. Which is tragical.

Max's not sacrificing her being the ultimate act of showing her that she is worth everything to someone, that the notion of her dying in that bathroom under those circumstances is impossible. It's the ultimate opposite of abandonment. And Chloe wouldn't blame her for it or feel she didn't deserve it, but be grateful and appreciative. The ending sequence implies as much.

>It was mostly just an interesting theory that I hadn't considered before, so I ran with it.
Yeah, fair. Like I said there, it would have to be tremendous. I can't feel anything measuring up to their feelings for each other. Maybe you'd have to go the Joy Division way and assume the only thing that's strong enough to tear them apart is their love itself. That's why I always found an ending scenario interesting where Max has to write herself out of Chloe's life, realizing that she is the source of Chloe's constant dying. Note: Interesting. As a premise. Not more.

There's obviously still scars there, and fresh wounds, some of which haven't even had the chance to scar yet, let alone heal. But they are personal wounds and personal demons. And as we've seen, they only heal when and because they are together. There's just nothing I could see driving them apart. I mean, the story is about how their connection defies the course of the universe trying to seperate them. What's a storm to that? What are "personal demons" to that? "Together, we will last forever." - If nothing else, that promise remains.

It would have to be something between them driving them apart. And "interpersonally", what's there that's stronger than love?

>Devilishly cruel, anon.
It's cruel, tragic, but kind of beautifully so. Certainly more beautiful than such a young and special person having to bleed out on a school's bathroom floor, another person and their connection brutally dying with her. She lets that person die, herself die, her love die, their love die - out of false feelings of guilt, regret, responsibility. Out of a sense of self-worthlessness and the notion of not deserving life as much as other people. That's just appalling.
Here however it's that she let's her go because she loves her too much to bear having her suffer in being together. She realizes the true selfishness of love and acts unselfishly out of true love. A love so strong it can defy the universe can only defeat itself, so to speak. And so they part out of love. I can just see the epilogue play out for that.

But even in that scenario I'd expect them to end up together again. Chloe's "Maybe you are just delaying my fate. Our fate." is 180° the oppposite of what feels true to me. What else are Max's powers if not proof that they are, literally, above all meant to be together?

I do wonder how Chloe got a full sleeve as her only tattoo. That's not something you just walk in in get, that's something she planned extensively. Maybe something she drew up while at Blackwell or something she planned with Rachel.
The skull representing the death she knows (At this point in her life, William), the thorns are a cage of her sadness keeping her confined and also keeping harmful things away, the flowers are the pleasant memories she has and the beauty that grows from her.
Then there's how she paid for it. She must have taken some kind of job or somebody owed Rachel some very big favors.
Regardless of all that, the outcome is awesome looking and a very good view into Chloe's mind. It's not some cheap attempt to look cool or rebel, it's very literally wearing her heart on her sleeve.

Both of them look tired here, but still happy. I'm guessing this was one of the first photos Max took after putting down the camera for a little bit after all that happened. Kind of saying "Yeah it hurts, but we're together so we will be fine"

Is it me or does Chloe's face look really off in general? Like it doesn't have textures or something. She just doesn't look human, especially compared with Max, etc.

>>149260629
She has a kind of a long face, at least compared to Max, and very smooth skin. But she still looks human, or as much as anyone else in the game does. The textures/ graphics aren't the best but they're still accurate and attractive enough.

>>149260629
I think her hair doesn't cast a shadow on her face the way Max's does, and that sometimes leads to her looking a little ethereal.

I'm not sure I do. Because that would mean that there was some new mystery or problem that would probably end up hurting them. They deserve to be left alone. The torch should be passed on to new characters and a new story with hopes that it will be done better, rather than risking ruining what has already been established. Their story is done and their home is now here.
I would like to see them in a cameo though.

>>149271283
Thing is I would be fine with not having them again if there was some form of closure in any of the endings. Even sacrifice Chloe ending doesn't elaborate on fate of characters etc. it's just painful that they make you care about them so much only to have it like a TV series that wasn't funded for another season after last episode of the season ended on a massive cliffhanger. Would you be satisfied with Breaking Bad for example if it ended with him just living in that house in the snow? And that'd be the ending scene.

>>149271484
Yeh Vampyr doesn't look that good, I'm not sure why they're so keen on trying to make that style of games (Altho atleast they aren't telltale who at this point aren't making different games, just making "telltale games")

>>149274334
Never watched Breaking Bay so I can't really comment on it. Honestly just a small scene at the end of the game showing who's alive, dead, in prison, etc. as well as a little glimpse into what they do would have sufficed. Like the endings of the first two episodes.
But as you said, both endings needed more closure, but especially the Bae ending. Even though fans stepped up and produced a few things it should still be addressed by DONTNOD even if it's making a short scene and uploading it to their YouTube and other media.

>>149274859

I said it before it almost felt like they were originally planning only on sacrifice Chloe ending and added a second one just to appease to Max\Chloe fans (I picked sacrifice Bay ending so it's not like I prefer it), Sacrificng Chloe is paced almost perfectly with pictures changing, music doing its' work to stimulate your feelings etc. It still lacks "what happens next" thing but atleast it feels like it wasn't rushed in a week before release. Chloe ending feels rushed as fuck, they've done nothing for people who picked it and wanna know what happens to their relationship and only thing the ending did really was guilt-trip you over "you killed everybody" (atleast it felt like that to me). It also lacks a unique score, I mean Obstacles is a great piece and fits it too but you'd think they could put more effort into it, like original music and not just reused assets of the destroyed town. Atleast some form of "what's happening between" other than uneasy smiles and driving "into the sunset". That's what I hate the most about it, sacrificng Chloe shows you how Max felt about her more than actually picking her.

Despite being one of those fans who made extra after-the-endings content ... I'm kinda glad they didn't. For all the shit he gets for it, I'm more-or-less on the same page as Michel as to leaving it wide open. I think showing anything of Chloe or Max after leaving Arcadia Bay would have been more ... "detrimental" (not exactly the word I'm looking for, but I'm sure you get what I mean).

But maybe I'm just an imagination-lord cuck. :3

>>149276147
I've also said this: Saving Chloe was always one of the original options.

The ending that was added/ changed was to outright kill her. Originally the endings were driving off with Chloe or her being in the hospital in a coma after being shot.
It seems that the idea of easy tears grabbed a hold on DONTNOD and they started putting more effort into it thinking it was a good idea- neglecting the other ending and leaving them with no time/ money to add on to it by the time the release date was approaching (Which had already been pushed back).
They stayed away from showing who lived/ died because they decided that they couldn't adequately do it. So instead they left it to the players which can be done wall, but in this case just felt lazy and gave the appearance of it being tacked-on.

We can infer from how we know Max and Chloe how their relationship would go; they would both have hard times, but ultimately everything works out and they are happy. I wish we could have seen some epilogue too, but it just didn't happen. Only thing to do is accept it and use the holes that DONTNOD left to fill them in how you want. If we had all the answers then we wouldn't be here. So I see it as a blessing in disguise.

>>149277907
I'm not saying they should give us all the answers, they couldn't either way. But atleast it to actually appease to people who picked the ending for obvious reason of "we want their relationship to continue". Again I've felt they've developed that theme more with sacrificng her rather than saving her, which is flat out a wrong way to do it imo.

>>149277664
I agree. Overall, Max and Chloe's story does end on that cliff. They have made up for their past errors, matured as people, and are ready to move on into the future. You don't need every little detail spelled out.

They ended the game at a good place, but were a little too vague. It would have been nice to have seen them driving through town and maybe seeing survivors walking around, getting a text from David saying he and Joyce were in the bunker or somewhere, and stuff like that. It doesn't show much, but it gives you a basic idea what the statuses of the characters are so you can draw your own conclusions from the basic info.

>>149278942
That's your view then, not a fault of the game itself. I saw the entire story building up to the moment where Max tears apart that photo and commits herself once and for all to Chloe surviving. Max and Chloe's relationship is very subtle but also very obvious and that's why it works. It's not in your face and I'm not sure what else they could have added at the end that would not have felt forced or awkward.

>>149270792
You'll get Max in a 5 minute cameo, if that.

There will be a bullshit excuse why Chloe isn't on screen if you picked Bae (she's taking a shit in the bathroom or something).

>>149280153
As long as it acknowledges she's alive. If you picked that ending.
My ideal thing would be seeing Max and Chloe together and being able to have a conversation with them. To the character they're just two girls, nothing special about them.

lel. Try anything. There was literally no content for that ending. Also it's a bit late to worry about 'forced and awkward'. The entire premise of the final choice was forced, awkward and didn't make sense within the universe they created.

>>149285987
Well yeah, the final choice is deeply flawed because it's not a choice Max would make. She would find a third option to save as many people as possible and wouldn't believe the storm was related to her power.

I was referring to adding things to the existing endings. Because it ends as they drive out of town, evidently not trying to contact or find anyone, it would not have been right to have them kiss or anything like that. There will be many more times for that later.
The ending scene of driving through Arcadia Bay was definitely rushed, but the body language shows enough to give an idea of what would be said. And I find it one of the best scenes of the game, despite the stupid circumstances.
>Max looking sad at the destruction she believes she's caused.
>Chloe looking at a town she thought she hated, her home, damaged and people hurt. Thinking she doesn't deserve to be alive, but amazed/happy that she is.
>Chloe looking over the Max and seeing that she's sad, giving her a small comforting touch.
>Max being snapped back to reality, realizing she's with Chloe after all they've been through, and smiling.
I like that. My only complaint was we don't know about the other characters, but as I said: I've used the the inconclusiveness and vagueness to my own advantage when it comes to creating my own thoughts on what happened. Very few people died and what we see support this.
Ultimately I wish there was better endings that were more consistent to the story. But there isn't and we cannot change that.

Yeh, that's where our views differ. That's totally not what I got from that ending. If anything she looked way more uncomfortable with all of that than Max, considering how Max just has a wide smile as soon as Chloe touches her and Chloe still has that "half-smile" going on. Again it might be just bad models etc. but that's why I so desperately want them to give us some more "meat" about it, cause it's definitely complicated. And sure you can imagine whatever you want but I'm not one of those people who'd start reading lotr then leave it be and imagine the rest of it so it suits me, like you can't deduce stuff like that.

>>149289613
Chloe seems to be the one drinking it in and committing it to memory just how much she was worth to someone. She does it on the cliff too, where Max buries her face in Chloe's shoulder while Chloe watches the storm.
Again, this is all just my own interpretation and trying to read emotions. If you think otherwise that is totally fine.
Then again I also think that by the time they drive out of the town they have already gotten an idea of who is alive. Either by seeing them or through texts and stuff. But that is completely headcanon and has no support in the game.

What?

>>149291669
Someone re-edits the bay ending to make it consistent with what they actually showed, "what happens next is up to your imagination" bs theme they used to defend the bae ending.

Basically it just cuts out straight after Chloe is shot, and we see the week's photos erase. They don't get replaced with anything. Player is left to fill in the blanks with their own imagination, wondering if they did the right thing.

Did they actually stop the storm? There was no evidence killing Chloe would prevent it. It was all just desperate theorising with nothing concrete to back it up.

Did Nathan and Jefferson face justice? Did Nathan conveniently come quietly and confess everything, or shoot up the school and suicide by cop? Did Jefferson get caught, cover his tracks and continue his predatory behaviour, or escape and end up on the run?

Did Chloe die in the end, get resuscitated successfully, or end up a vegetable?

Why is Max's future not shown. Does she even have a future? Was she the second victim of a Nathan shooting spree? Did Jefferson abduct her as his last masterpiece before going on the run? Did she otherwise unwittingly put herself on a dangerous path and deprive herself of the powers needed to save herself?

>>149291669
My biggest ones are the binary choices that make no sense, characters being oblivious, the tonal change compared to other episodes, and some scenes with a lot of potential just being glossed over.

>>149293393
That would have been actually been pretty ballsy. And would detract from the (false) notion that one ending was intended because it was longer and gave more details.
Then maybe they could have used those time and resources to put them towards a scene that deserved to have more of an impact.

The bay ending is the one where you sacrifice Chloe right? Because if it is, then this post is 100% bullshit.

Yes they stopped the storm. What, you think they got a funeral together for a sudden death within 3 days?

Yes Nathan and Jefferson faced justice. They showed Nathan getting arrested, showed him snitching on Jefferson, and then they showed Jefferson getting arrested as well.

Prove that Max actually stopped the storm and it didn't just get delayed slightly. She went back to the second time she was in the bathroom, after already rewinding and making changes, so if any use of her power causes the storm then it is still coming.

>Chloe is so cute! ....And there's Warren.
=kek
Good work!
Maybe to satisfy the Warren fans would could do something with Max/ Chloe and Warren/Brooke. Or you could just keep making them suffer. That works too.

Why warren tho.

>>149300035
To let Max be certain, as if she wasn't already, and to torture the delusional warryncvcks.
Chloe gets a full on kiss, warryn gets a peck, then it gets rewound and Chloe gets another kiss.

>>149300309
>let Max certain
I love this meme.

>>149298615
The fact a storm was caused at all because of her rewinding time is retarded. To be honest the fact the game was about STOPPING the tornado instead of trying to save people from is what made me hate the ending so much. They could've made a couple more episodes to wrap everything up, but they didn't. They took the easy route.

>"Oh shit i have time powers! Might as well shoot some bottles and play Russian roulette with my sexuality."

>"I need to save that girl about to be shot in the bathroom. I can bring things back in time with me, and i just found a hammer. I could just smash him in the head with it... nah. Might as well break the glass and trip the fire alarm. Because a loud alarm suddenly going off totally won't scare him and make him accidentally fire the gun."

>"Oh hey look in this alternate reality Chloe got into a car crash and became a cripple. I could try to warn her about the car crash when i go back in time... or i could kill her dad. Yeah... killing her dad sounds like a decent plan."

>Otters eat Beavers graffiti in the girl's changing room

Chloe says to Max, "Oh, look, an otter in my water.'

She was trying to initiate intercourse.

It's my belief that Chloe was on the swim team when she went to Blackwell and is responsible for the graffiti like that. As well as the shark eating the otter that's drawn on the side of the pool building.
It's why she comes prepared to go swimming with Max, she missed that she couldn't swim there any more.

>>149301597
Your belief is wrong.

>>149302094
It's not wrong or right, it's just something I thought of and adopted as a bit of backstory. Not every post about the characters has to be 100% based on what's said in game. Things would be very boring then.

>>149302336
>If the game wasn't the game, it would be good!

What?

It is wrong or right based on if they correlate to fact.

>>149308068
I don't thin anyone in the game has an unnecessary breakdown. All the characters we sad have very legitimate reasons to be that way.

>>149310838
Kate wouldn't approve of the swearing anon. Even if she may have done it herself. It's just... not nice.

An anon suggested getting a picture of the watermark only and inverting it away but I haven't gotten around to do it.

I like this. At some point after being expelled, her hair was so fried from the chlorine, Chloe just said, "fuck it," and started to dye it.

>>149313407
Her and Rachel would also go to the beach, which I'm sure was nice. But an indoor pool, especially at night and by yourself must be a peaceful experience. Just float and relax without any worries, which for Chloe is a rare occurrence that she savors.

How would Max's parents react to her and Chloe being together or to them kissing?

>>149297393
You really need to read posts before replying to them anon. That was an anon's suggestion about how to change the ending to be consistent with what was shown prior to the ending, and consistent with the "use ur imagination" theme.

Max's parents seemed pretty cool. At least from the texts and what Max writes. They would be happy that Max is energetic and happy again. As for the kissing they would be fine as long as whatever happened in front of them was kept PG.
They would very quickly welcome Chloe, like Joyce welcomed Max.

>>149320712
No. Worshiping is creepy. Let's just appreciate her.
