>>148489951
Long and elaborate but a part of it is that Max makes scrapbooks and photo albums of all their trips and adventures.
The gist of it is after the storm they spend a few months with Max's parents (But go back to Arcadia Bay for Rachel's funeral) and then go back to the Bay. Max finishes school at Blackwell when it reopens and Chloe convinces Wells to give her a second chance. Their jobs are Max working at a camera store and Chloe working with Joyce. Once they finish school and save money they start their roadtrip adventure. They get to Paris when Max wins a big photography contest a few years later.

>>148491216
No.
Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful;it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right.Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never ends; as for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.

VICKY WHY
>>148503905
That's not cute. That's needlessly mean and hypocritical, if anything it proves Vic should be alone if she acted liked that.
In reality she was just doing what she did best: starting drama and shit. She thinks Kate sees herself as superior to others (When she doesn't), sees Kate acting wild and films and exploits it. As if to say "Not so high and mighty now, are you?"
In the end she is the biggest reason that Kate ends up on the roof and regardless of how sorry she is, she has a lot of making up and soul-searching to do. Which by the end of the game she has already started.
>>148504663
No, no, anon. It's that Vicky has a secret crush on Kate!!
Good night /lesg/!
>>148506193
Sweet dreams, Anon.
>>148506193
Do you think she's having cute dreams about Victoria?
>>148504663
>In the end she is the biggest reason that Kate ends up on the roof
Um, no. Did you just completely forget Jefferson and Nathan's involvement in that incident? And don't try and say that part didn't matter because Kate couldn't remember it. One of the main reasons she felt so hopeless was that she was sure Nathan had done something and he was apparently untouchable as far as the faculty and police were concerned.
>>148506578
Maybe...
>>148506712
Without Victoria the incident wouldn't have been publicized like it was. Nathan and Jefferson obviously harmed Kate and made her scared/ confused about what happened to her. But without the viral video then Kate would not have been bullied nearly as much or felt abandoned by everyone. People that were at the party would have talked about it; but her parents, aunt, priest, etc. wouldn't have seen it.
So yes, I do blame Victoria for a part of what happened.
Chloe is bae!
>>148507595
It was kind of ridiculous that you had the option to blame David and Jefferson at that point in the game, but not blame Victoria. At that moment the thing Kate's most upset about are the video, and what might have happened to her while sedated. As far as Max knew at that point, Victoria was responsible for one and Nathan for the other.
>>148509462
David did harassed Kate, and Jefferson couldn't give a shit about her even though she's feeling down. Somewhat justified, but still ridiculous that you can't blame Victoria
>>148509784
I still think they played Jefferson just right in that scene between him and Kate in Episode 2.
Before Eps 4/5, it looked like he was being gruff, but was still trying to help her (his "drama queen" lines vs. the "you need to talk to me" lines). From the outsider it seems like he's being a bit of a dick in response to some teenage drama, but that he's otherwise trying to get her to further explain her problems to him.
After Eps 4/5, it's clear that he knows what her problems are/were, but that his goal was to try to run the line between looking reasonably like a teacher, and trying to get her to shut up about it (or plant the idea in the head of anyone listening that it *is* just silly teenage drama).
Similarly with his speech inside the classroom in the following scene. Prior to Eps 4/5 it sounds like a teacher trying to dissuade a group of teenagers from being needlessly mean to each other. After Eps 4/5, it's basically the same thing (the quicker all the drama ends, the better for him), but also with the aim of reducing the severity of any accusation Kate might make ("lol, it's just teenage drama).
From Kate's perspective, he's being a jerk who isn't taking her seriously. From the other student's perspective, he's treating it as any other highschool/teenage drama and showing his disapproval. From Jefferson's perspective, he wants it to all go away as quickly/quietly as possible, but he also doesn't want Kate to feel confident enough to reach other to anyone else (which basically worked; she even described herself as a drama queen).
I think they did all this quite well without playing him too "sweetly" or too "evily". The scene between him and Victoria in Ep3 goes on to reinforce the idea that he's probably not really a bad guy - his "bullying" of Kate was just him being a bit gruff.
>>148509462
That entire scene was a shitshow looking back.
Blame David, the one man who was investigating things and getting on the right track is dismissed and removed from the picture.
Blame Nathan, he's the most obvious choice and is set up to take the fall. But in the end just an accomplice and not the true culprit.
Blame Jefferson, the real criminal evades most of David's ability to watch him on school grounds and is free to act on his plans, since nobody really suspects him of anything more than negligence regarding a student.
There is no winning.
>>148509784
That would have been an interesting option. Not sure how many would have picked it though. Victoria didn't play a part in drugging Kate, she just recorded the effects (Not knowing what was going on). Still an awful thing to do but she wasn't as much of a potential threat as the others.
>>148510734
It seems like his talk with Kate was trying to gauge how much Kate knows and remembers so that he can know how to react. Kate killing herself is one of the best things that can happen to him since it's one of his victims being silenced and everyone will just assume she did it out of shame. The only thing that turned Kate going to the roof against him was Max, having previously spoken to Kate and beginning to piece things together by comparing what happened to Kate and Chloe.
With Victoria he's planning on targeting her, but even when she offers to go with him (Where he could easily pounce) he restrains himself. Because he knows the school is being watched and possibly because he doesn't find it as fun if they're willing (sicko). He even kept his cool when he most likely knows that Max and Chloe have found the Dark Room and he runs into them in the party. He knows what cards he's holding and doesn't panic.
Too bad all the controlled and calm demeanor he displays through the first four episodes is completely done away with to make him comically insane.
>>148511049
>There is no winning.
This is a point I've long whinged about.
The scene makes zero sense.
Not from a narrative perspective - all three parties had an obvious role to play in Kate's situation (even if they weren't all of the same severity) blaming only one is ridiculous.
Nor from a gameplay perspective - if the point was to highlight the three potential villains, (1) David was already pretty much off the list at this point, (2) Jefferson's only crime was being a bit of a jerk to Kate and seemed to actually try to diffuse the bullying in class, so there's no reason to think he's behind anything larger yet, and (3) EVERYTHING points to Nathan - the ordeal in the bathroom in Ep1, Kate literally says it was Nathan who took her to the bright room, etc.
Given that the choice of who you blame makes no significant differences in the future episodes, what was the point? It made no sense otherwise. Did they just feel like they needed a big end-of-episode choice? Did they just want to imply there would be bigger consequences (getting Nathan suspended/expelled, getting Max suspended, getting David fired, etc, all of which did nothing)?
I wish they had just done something a bit more interesting here. No player choice, but a more interesting scene where all three share an appropriate amount of blame. That way you can put a bit more thought into having the characters interact with each other in an interesting way - like the glances between Nathan/Jefferson.
>>148511049
>No matter what you do, Jefferson's plans are furthered
>There was no option to throw the bronze bird at Jefferson's head, then grab the principal's bottle of Johnny Walker, pour it on the bastard and set him on fire.
>>148511756
>Kate killing herself is one of the best things that can happen to him since it's one of his victims being silenced and everyone will just assume she did it out of shame.
Maybe, maybe not.
Jefferson probes Max to see how much Kate has told her - he knows there is a risk that she has given information about the night to other students. He can't know how many students this might be.
We know that Kate told Max about Nathan, and Nathan is THE link between Jefferson and all the Dark Room stuff. A dead Kate leads to an investigation, which inevitably leads to Max telling the police about what Kate said about Nathan (backed up by other people at the party seeing Kate leave with Nathan). Nathan's room probably gets searched (Chloe picture - which Chloe could testify for, burner phone with links to known drug dealer, etc?), and so on. Even if none of this leads to the Dark Room and/or Jefferson's involvement, having Nathan get investigated like this is extremely problematic for Jefferson. And this is all without the David Madsen wild card - we know he also has a bunch of information about a bunch of people involved, and he'd surely give this information to the police.
On the other hand, if nobody believes that any of Kate's stuff is of any importance, everything remains here-say, nobody bothers to properly investigate Nathan (except beyond a he-said/she-said type situation).
Kate's death escalates things a lot more than they probably would otherwise. Further, while Jefferson doesn't seem too worried about killing people if he *has* to, it also doesn't seem like he really *wants* anyone to die either. A minor point, but I can't imagine his ideal end goal is for Kate to end up dead.
>>148511756
>Too bad all the controlled and calm demeanor he displays through the first four episodes is completely done away with to make him comically insane.
Yep, for sure.
>>148512701
That's the new game plus option.
Hell you could end it like this
>Save Chloe
>Leave class and go to parking lot
>Knock on Frank's RV door that's parked outside
>"Hi, I'm Max. Chloe's friend. Just want to let you know that Mark Jefferson and Nathan Prescott killed Rachel Amber. Jefferson's in the school now and his car is parked over there if you want to wait."
>Make phone call to police to search the Junkyard and under the barn.
>Go wait for Chloe to show up with truck
>>148511756
Well I mean why would he continue to put up a front when Max already knows everything? Might as well let it all hang out. It does come across as silly, but really the urge to make oneself understood is quite normal.
>>148513282
Not the same anon, but I pretty much agree with what they were saying.
I don't think it's so much an issue of "letting it all hang out" so much as it is an issue of "he was a cool character before, it's a shame to see him end up like a bit of a cartoon character". It would have been nicer if he was played a bit more subtly in the Dark Room - you can do "let it all hang out" without necessarily having him go loopy.Captcha = Mountains ;-;
>>148513282
I understand that. Jefferson taking off a mask and displaying all his villainous traits and intentions to someone he believes is soon to be dead. But that stuff should be hinted at somewhere, and with Jefferson it is not. He's a very calm man for 4/5ths of the game and then in the final part he suddenly reveals he's batshit insane with no prior evidence. It doesn't appear threatening, it just appears silly.
If you're familiar with him, Light Yagami was a good example of what you're proposing. He was crazy but he hid it. For the most part. There were times where he let his disturbed side show because he got too angry or pressured, but in the end when he thought he was taking the victory he let it all out. That was scary because the viewer knew that aspect of him existed and now it's fully revealed to all.
>>148513989
The very first scene that it's revealed jefferson is the bad guy I literally let out a "WAAAT" it was so out of place. I though max was just high and hallucinating. Really the only thing that points toward him in the earlier episodes is when he's talking about framing the students in a dark corner in a moment of desperation. Outside of that, the whole twist and subsequent character change is a total u fuckin wot m8 moment.
>>148514463
And let's be honest, hardly anyone will be paying attention to that part in episode 1, we're all too busy trying to figure the controls out and looking at items on our table!
>>148514463
I wasn't surprised too much. Once I saw the whole professional photo setup in the Dark Room and equipment similar to what the school used (I believe Max even comments on this), I had an idea that Jefferson was involved. A student wouldn't be able to just take stuff from the classroom and Nathan would never have created such an elaborate setup.
The reveal in the junkyard just made me go "Okay Jefferson's involved. So who's he working for? Sean?"
Looking back, the quote at the start of the game and Jefferson's style of photography that you scan see in the classroom and around the campus make it incredibly obvious.
>>148514463
Just keep him calm and in control in the dark room. In many ways, that's more frightening than some raving lunatic.
>>148515136
This.
I like the idea of keeping him a bit more "normal" in the Dark Room. It's not just that he's an obvious lunatic, it's that he's seems to otherwise be a somewhat normal person who is doing horrible things, driven by the passion he has for his "art".
Especially given that he's somebody who Max looks up to and wants to be like someday. It's easy, following Episode 5, for Max to just be like "well he was just proper insane, I'll never go like that". It's another thing entirely if they're much more similar, and are both simply driven by their artistic passions.
Of course, it's still a massive stretch to try to go the route of "Max might turn out like this", so this probably isn't a useful route to go in critiquing Ep5 Jefferson. But I still think it would be better if Max/Jefferson could better relate while trapped in the Dark Room together, rather than it just being "Jefferson is insane!"
>>148515136
Agreed. if you've done the calm and in control thing that far through the game (Without giving any evidence to suggest they have some underlying madness) then you should just keep it that way.
>>148513609
>>148515401
Idk, I enjoy the idea of a person so dedicated to their art that they kill for it, unoriginal as it may be. As for the silliness, I can see it, but who's to say where exactly the line between passion and insanity lies?
Plus, many real-life serial killers managed to stay hidden for a good long time, and I doubt they acted sane during the act itself.
>>148469683
Before Episode 5's release:
>Lol Mari's theories're shitty.It's way more than shitty to become true
>Chloe has to die thing doesn't make sense.Don't worry they will come with unpredictable story
>We're gonna learn everything about Max's powers,Rachel and Prescotts even Nathan,spirit animals..
>Jefferson knows about Max's powers
>Nathan,Frank,David or Samuel's gonna save us
>Victoria's with Max,she'll save her
>(After seeing Cemetery scene from leaks) I'm sure it'll be Williams,Rachel's or Kate's grave.
>Rachel's the doe and Butterfly and probably we'll see her in Max's dream
>Blue Jay's Chloe
After Episode 5's release:
>Mari's shitty cliche theory became right
>We visited the SF art gallery for 3 seconds. FOR 3 DAMN SECONDS
>Jefferson became a silly bad guy from Disney
>David came to save us.He's a former-soldier but he can't even fight,just listens teenager's orders. Even he doesn't know she has some time travel powers.
>Victoria's with us in the dark room.Laying there and we can talk her or not.Just it.
>Nathan get killed,Victoria too
>Nathan knew something about the storm but they cut it.
>Warren explained Max's powers(!) (thanks warryn) We found out her power causes/related with Chaos Theory and storm.It's not like we didn't know or something.
>Storm is only coming for Bay because Chloe lives in there but Max's the one who keep changes the time
>Prescotts story erased.Nobody even mention their name.
>Rachel's story fucked too.She isn't doe,or butterfly,bluejay or even shit.
>Spirit animals thing died.Blue Butterfly's Chloe just it.
>Chloe dies again in one of endings (unpredictable) It gives you a lesson: You shouldn't have used your power.And you shouldn't play this game.Now erase your choices and cry like a bitch.
>Chloe has to die thing comes true, Cemetery scene explained with that.

I could have seen it working, if they had pushed Max's photography a bit more on the "she'll do anything for the shot" direction. Like, maybe if there was an option to take a picture of Kate while she was up on the roof? Or a a picture of Chloe with the train coming down the tracks towards her (she can just rewind, right, no harm?) That might still be a bit on the extreme/silly part, but it might at least draw a stronger connection between Jefferson doing whatever it takes to get HIS shots, and Max doing what it takes for her own.
>>148515715
That could have fit in during the nightmare. Another one of Max's fears being that since she idolized Jefferson for a long time that she may go down a similar route. But obviously not as extreme where she's hurting people. More that she would rather document someone in pain instead of helping them and losing the photo opportunity.
Even though like all her other fears during that dream they would quickly be dismissed once she actually reflects on how she's acted throughout the week since she's been nothing but helpful a majority of the time when others were just watching.
>>148515008
>the whole professional photo setup in the Dark Room and equipment similar to what the school used
At a bare minimum all that really suggests is the prescotts spend a ton of money on the shcool and their son; both of which are constantly made very clear to the player. Nathan is also the only one that appears genuinely unhinged and willing to commit both terrible and violent acts.
>>148515136
It also makes the idea of manipulating him into giving Max opportunities to use her power more daunting. Once it becomes very apparent he's a nutjob with delusions of artistic grandeur that desperately wants to show the art he never can to the world it just feels like leading a dog with treats. Praise his work and he does whatever you ask. Like when you ask him to take one more picture despite him telling you he's going to murder you. WHO THE FUCK WOULD SAY THAT!?
>>148515789
Max can't keep photos from rewinds, aside from the optional photos which don't really exist for the sake of the game's plot.
Otherwise she would have photos of things that never happened. Max's power has some level of awareness and prevents images of undone events from being preserved, as well as keeping Max from death since time freezes when she's in mortal danger and allows her to rewind.
Even then it wouldn't make sense for Max to take pictures of her friends getting hurt. She's not like that at all and the one time she does it with Kate and David she is regretful immediately after it happened. It would just be shoehorning in some "Max can be just as evil!" schlock.
>>148516153
>At a bare minimum all that really suggests is the prescotts spend a ton of money on the shcool and their son; both of which are constantly made very clear to the player. Nathan is also the only one that appears genuinely unhinged and willing to commit both terrible and violent acts.
I've seen a few Let's Players who have interpreted all the equipment in the Dark Room as "there must be other people involved, this is too much for just one person!" But I don't think I've seen anyone make the leap specifically to Jefferson.
Otherwise, I think your analysis is spot on. We're told numerous times through the game that the Prescott's are simply loaded and willing to spend a lot on Nathan; and we're told numerous times that Nathan is really into photography. There's no good reason to assume that Jefferson might be involved based simply on the equipment in the Dark Room.
>yfw you'll never get a chance to visit Disneyland with Jefferson
>>148516153
Nathan is an erratic and unstable individual so I would high doubt his ability to set up an entire room and use it in such an organized fashion. We see Nathan's photography when we see the picture of Chloe in his room. It's sloppy and unplanned. Plus he's in some of the photos with Rachel where he clearly did not take them.
Nathan is capable of violence and we see it- we see how impulsive and harsh it is. In the bathroom with Chloe, when he attacks Max, and when he pulls the gun on Warren. It's nothing like we see in the Dark Room where things are clearly planned.
>>148516376
>Max can't keep photos from rewinds, aside from the optional photos which don't really exist for the sake of the game's plot.
I think you could argue either way on this, it's not really clear how it all works (though I'm also on the side of "the time travel rules work backwards to try to keep some internal consistency when timelines are changed" - my favourite example being when you rewind after eating food, to see the same plate of food being brought to you half-eaten).
But the general idea still works. Max doesn't have to rewind to keep those photographs, she just has to be able to rewind to make sure the full sequence of events can be done safely. She can snap a picture of Chloe with the train, then run off to solve the train-stopping puzzle. If she fails at any of the later stuff, she can rewind back to after she took the photo, and keep working at saving Chloe.
The added bonus here is that Chloe might be pissed at Max for endanger her. But at this point, she knows about Max's powers ... so it COULD perhaps be forgivable? This is the same Chloe who held a gun to Max's face, so who is she to complain?
Otherwise, yeah, I agree about the Kate picture especially. It would be a little cheesy to see her take a pic given that moments earlier (when she entered the courtyard) she had seen her jump. Still, I could see them mayyyybe being able to justify it when she first got up to the room - snap a picture before time unfroze again? Probs too far, given she was already straining to keep time still.
I like the idea overall, it's just trying to find a good way to implement it that doesn't make Max look TOO insane/evil.
>>148516856
>my favourite example being when you rewind after eating food, to see the same plate of food being brought to you half-eaten
Haha I thought I was the only one that did that.
>>148516778
>Nathan is an erratic and unstable individual so I would high doubt his ability to set up an entire room and use it in such an organized fashion.
But that's the point - nobody necessarily needs to assume he did it all himself. It's the assumption that it was *Jefferson* who was helping it out that we're talking about.
>We see Nathan's photography when we see the picture of Chloe in his room. It's sloppy and unplanned.
But that's because it WAS literally sloppy and unplanned. He took a chance with Chloe, it wasn't planned like the other girls. She's laying on the floor of his room, drugged up on whatever he had at hand. Not properly drugged out and posed in a studio, photographed with proper lighting/equipment. It's not even clear that the Chloe photo WAS supposed to be artistic, it might have just been a quick snapshot for fun.
We've seen other examples of Nathan's work, and Max says it's really good. The style mimics what we saw in the Dark Room. Aside from Nathan being in some of the pictures (which plenty of people just assumed meant he used a tripod), there's no reason to assume that someone else was taking the pictures.
It should probably be a poll to take stock of how many people thought that Jefferson was the mastermind, an accomplice, or not involved at all.
Same for other characters because during the game's run there were theories about Sean Prescott, Wells, Frank, Stella, and others being involved.
What many thought was an elaborate conspiracy tuned out to be one crazy guy manipulating a crazy kid.
>>148517593
>It should probably be a poll to take stock of how many people thought that Jefferson was the mastermind, an accomplice, or not involved at all.
It wouldn't work very well here, we knew Jefferson was the mastermind fairly early on due to various leaks. We were openly discussing it well in advance of Episode 4. I'm not sure how many folks are newer than that era, but I assume there's still a fair number of us (and those in the wider community who were actively following the game at the time) who were pre-spoiled.

I never thought I would say this is but it's way more retarded than game's time travel mechanics desu. It could've worked if you want to make her psychopath, who's sick from the brain, tho.
>The added bonus here is that Chloe might be pissed at Max for endanger her. But at this point, she knows about Max's powers ... so it COULD perhaps be forgivable? This is the same Chloe who held a gun to Max's face, so who is she to complain?

Like I said, it's just a general idea. There's a bunch of different ways you could implement the idea without making Max look too extreme. Hell, even just have Max internally state after the fact "wow, that would have made for a really cool shot tho".
>Also that gun wasn't even loaded at that time, just saying.
Always treat a gun like it's loaded. Pointing it in your best friend's face is a fucking shitty thing to do.

Right. And you could have her totally focus on trying to save Chloe during that scene ... and afterwards have her say "still, would have made for a neat shot".
Hell, Max already comments elsewhere in the game about how Kate's sullen state would make for a good shot. That's going in the same direction I'm suggesting, but nobody assumes that line made her into a psycho.
>point it in your bff's face to make a joke and don't even pull the trigger
Is still a massive cunt move. I hope you don't own any firearms.
>>148519396
>Hell, Max already comments elsewhere in the game about how Kate's sullen state would make for a good shot. That's going in the same direction I'm suggesting, but nobody assumes that line made her into a psycho.
Yeah I remember that we were making fun of that journal entry, it was just like copy pasta of Jefferson's words since she was modelizing her teacher. But there's a difference between saying these to someone who almost died or who was just sitting there. So that's why I said It would be retarded and psychopathic if you have her say 'oh wow she was nearly dying. shit it would have made for a neat shot'
>Is still a massive cunt move. I hope you don't own any firearms.
I'm not saying playing with guns is good thing, but I don't think that it's massive cunt move if you know that it's unloaded. I mean you're talking like she wanted to shoot Max or something. :D
>>148520236
>shit it would have made for a neat shot'
I don't think it's necessarily psychopathic to say that it *would* have made for a cool shot. I mean, it *would* have (which is also why it was literally used in the advertising for the episode) right?
But like I said, I'm not making any hard and fast arguments either way. I'm saying that I like this sort of angle, and it would have been nice if it had been integrated *somehow* into the game more. It doesn't need to include Max having orgasims about potential photographs of her friends in dangerous situations.
>but I don't think that it's massive cunt move if you know that it's unloaded.
I strongly disagree.

>>148521583
>it isn't psychopathic thing to say it would have made a cool shot if you took someone's photo while he/she was dying
Wait, what? Who's arguing that? I never said anything about taking pictures of anyone while dying, nor even when wounded. The two examples I mentioned were Chloe on the train tracks with the train in the distance - with the expressed assumption that Max KNEW she could rewind at any point; and an image of Kate standing up on the roof while time was paused (ie. before she was even falling). I'll grant you that they're still pretty morbid - especially the latter as Max doesn't have full control over her powers during that scene - but they're not situations in which Max is responsible for anything that is happening, she's reacting to things, not causing them herself. I even agreed that Max's actually photographing these scenes would be a bit too far, but I still don't see anything wrong with her thinking that they *would* have made excellent, emotive, dynamic, [buzzwords] photographs.
>but it's massive cunt move if you point a gun without pulling the trigger (which's also unloaded and you aware of that)
Yes, it is. This really isn't even a debate, it's common sense to always treat a firearm as if it were loaded. It's a dick move regardless, given that MAX doesn't know it's not loaded.
Now if Max was deliberately making Chloe lay on the train tracks to make sure she'd stuck so she could take the picture ... only to later be all like "relax, dudeeee, I could always rewind to save you, *I* knew you were never actually in danger hue hue hue", maybe the comparisons would be a bit more apt. Extreme, but more comparable than her merely saying AFTER THE FACT that something might have made for an interesting photograph.

To be honest, I'd prefer this to be the case. Given that the "canon" explanation for the storm doesn't really make any sense, it would be kinda nice to know that we had a false ending, and that there's a deeper, more interesting story going on behind the scenes.
We don't really know whether Max lost her powers or not, we never see her try to reverse time again after the final decision. Arguably she wouldn't even want to try, given that she might be worried that doing so might cause all the same shit to start over again.
But then again, what the frick do I know?

Since chloe was pre-reborn as the butterfly, the storm was probably reborn as something else as well. Probably the future vortex club I guess

Dontnod made it clear that the spiritual doe in junkyard (ep2 and ep4) is linked to Rachel and she was guiding them. so being transparent doesn't have anything to do with being Max's spirit animal or something. it's transparent because it represents someone else's actual spirit.

>Without Victoria the incident wouldn't have been publicized like it was
We actually don't know whether she took the video. All we have as far as her "spreading" it is the link on the mirror... which we can erase and at which point her video was already all over school. We don't even have any evidence of relentless bullying from Victoria. We have one remark in class and the bathroom incident. Which are, frankly, pretty tame in terms of what bullying can look like. And in the dormyard for example, she simply ignores her.
Nathan presumably drugged her on the party. He is mainly to blame for everything that happens to Kate. There's even strong reason to believe he initiated her abduction without Jefferson's involvement. Victoria - as Max even states herself - is represenative of what harm jumping ignorantly to assumptions and going with the general crowd can do to a person. She's not painted as the person that drove Kate onto the roof, it's more a sense of "all of Blackwell should have cared more and really thought about what they were doing" - Victoria being the characterization of that notion, later obviously realizing how wrong she was and hating herself for it.
>>148512729
>A minor point
I don't even think this is a minor point. Between his behaviour in that Kate conversation and his comments in the DR, I can't help but feel that Jefferson truly did feel bad for her on a level and truly never did want to hurt people. Whether that's humanity or some psychopathic perfectionism, I think they dropped the ball hard when he went Casual Cowboy mode. He should have been at least pissed the fuck off that he had to kill people there, if not going into desperate ramblings about how "everything will be ok, I can still do this!". Not least because it is only with insanity that his ideas of scapegoating Nathan are at all reasonable.

>>148543584
>>148522253
I see what you are trying to argue, and I agree that drawing a closer connection between Jefferson's obsession with art and Max having idolized him, and exploring that connection in the DR/Nightmare, would have made for a good narrative theme - having Max realize she is not at all like him. But I do think that specific "always take the shot" moment is taking it too far. Like, if Max actually thought a photo of her loved friend in death terror and confusion as to why the fuck Max would take the photo would make for a "good shot", in my mind she already very much is in Jefferson territory, and a remark like that would then actually make me worried about a future where she could turn Jefferson-mode to a degree after her success is over/illusions of the art world corrupted/whatever.
There are other photo ops they could have drawn that connection with, the train is too extreme. Max wouldn't be able to think that.
>>148523070

>>148522253

Only if you ''aren't'' exactly sure about if it's loaded or not (esp. if you pull the trigger at that situation)
>It's a dick move regardless, given that MAX doesn't know it's not loaded.
Well since that was the point of the joke: to scare/surprise her obviously. Playing with guns is dangerous I agree. But my point is if she pointed that gun while she had no idea about if it was loaded or not and risked her life then yeah it'd be a dick move. >>148544385
>>148545503
I don't what are you trying to imply here but agree the fact that Chloe's behaviour stupid, childish in there. But she was know that/sure about it wasn't loaded (probably checked it after she stole it from David) That was the point. Hell, she didn't even pull the trigger.
>>148545503
calm down, David
>>148546276
Doesn't matter. I don't know about Murica but here in the Civilized world guns are treated as if they are loaded all the time. If you are not willing to do all that, the least you should do is not to go around pointing it at people you care about. I believe people who have never even touched a gun know this.
>>148545503
I agree. I love Chloe and that's why I felt saddened when I saw her with the gun, she was not mature enough for it. Shown with how she points it at Max after Max is already scared from seeing Nathan pull a gun.
Chloe likes the appeal of it: the power and sexiness of it. Something she sees as the ultimate "Nobody can hurt me now". She takes it for her own defense (Against Nathan and others) which is understandable, but she does it in an incredibly stupid way since she steals it.
It's another impulsive move by Chloe where she does something very serious without even considering the consequences.
Not just safety wise, but also how she stole it and that can land her in deep shit if it's reported/found, or what happens if she pulls it and someone steals it/ pulls their own to use against her.
It shows how childish her thought process was and how little she trusts David in that time. That she knows he works at Blackwell and could take some action, but doesn't tell him a thing. It also shows how much David is willing to slide for Chloe, another coverup or ignoring of crimes to keep her out of official trouble with the police.

>>148545896
>>148545896
>>148547343
Yeah, the whole gun affair is probably the gravest thing Chloe does, and even if there's things to sympathize with in that, stealing a gun and pointing it - in fun or, later, otherwise - at people is objectively terrible.
>>148549568
I'm not trying to beat up on Chloe either. Like I said, I love her. Max loves her.
Because I cared about her I didn't let her do things that would just hurt her in the end.
>>148550225
I kind of love her too. But it's not beating up if it's true. That was just a terrible thing she did. But she obviously did not have evil intentions. As you said, she was kind of naive and childish, treating it as nothing serious. And later she was justifiably scared and looking to defend herself (remember our last conversation though: she stole the gun before the Nathan confrontation, before she had any understandable reason to want a gun). She is definitely to blame, and even with my love for Chloe I would be troubled not to report her to authorities if she shot someone.
Luckily, as you also say, we never let her do those things. We don't let her become a killer. She doesn't shoot Frank, Nathan or Jefferson, and the stolen gun doesn't kill anyone either. She's young, does something stupid, but nothing terrible happens and she gets away with that one. Stealing guns and playing around with them is a bit hefty of a youth sin, and the game unfortunately never really does make a point of having Chloe realize just how fucking stupid she was being, but eh. I can forgive her.

I missed it :(

Thinking about it, ~would~ I report her? It's not like the dead person benefits from it, and while it could be good for that person's close/loved ones to find out what happened, Chloe obviously didn't want to hurt anyone, let alone in cold blood. She doesn't belong in jail. So maybe I should rather say I would not prevent her from handing herself over if she so chose, or vice-versa prevent the authorities from getting to her - but I would not report her. Especially not in that technically-self-defense Frank scenario.
Either way, she doesn't shoot anyone in any sane playthrough and so it's whatever.

I don't think there's anything to "forgive" in wanting to have sex with someone. Even if the emphasis on her being a virgin comes off very predatory and harmful. But that you are inclined to share those thoughts here... Well, I forgive you for that. Just keep it to yourself in the future?
>>148557443
Cracks me up too. I always see her wanting to join their band, and poor Chloe didn't learn an instrument, but Max - desperately wanting to include her - suggests she can totally play the triangle. And thus Chloe became a very proud part of the music.
But I agree with >>148558228 too: Chloe's not musically illiterate, quite the opposite. Even if she could not yet handle an instrument (we don't actually know whether she is at all unable to, seeing as how she was never in Max's dorm or talked about playing guitar and stuff with her;;), we know she has a presentable taste in music and a good singing voice.

Shut the fuck up

So much wasted potential by not having Chloe see Max's dorm room. As well as not having her meet Kate.
I've already concluded that the three of them would all be great friends that may be different, but get along very well. Kate knowing that Max wouldn't be friends with a bad person, and Chloe knowing that Kate's not a threat. Although Max may have some initial apprehension about telling Kate that she's dating Chloe, even though I highly doubt Kate would have any objections or problems.

You better start running...

No, let me.
>>148561750
Okay, go for it Kate. (Just watch the backblast)
>>148560616
Agreed on the wasted potential. Although at least with that one transitional photo we have the implication that she was in Max's dorm in one timeline, and her grip on the guitar does not look like that of an amateur. Safe to assume she can play a bit.
I never really thought about how Kate would fit into it, but I agree there's no reason to assume they wouldn't get along. While Chloe and Kate are very different types and personalities, they are not stubborn, pity or narrow-minded either. They'd get along perfectly well, for the most part anyway. Especially with Max there. And as opposed to Max, Kate is actually pretty helpless at times and could benefit from Chloe's badass mentality and actual bodyguarding.
>>148560916
I really did.
>>148562265
Chloe could help Kate deal with some of her issues like her overbearing mother and aunt by teller her to stand up for herself. Chloe would be a balancing influence for Kate, her whole life she's hard the same things and now there's Chloe to help her see why sometimes that way doesn't work.
Kind of Chloe being like a big sister to Kate since all of Kate's sisters are younger. Plus her bodyguard, as you said. Whenever someone stupidly makes fun of Kate for what she went through, they have to deal with Chloe.

Did you fags cry? I kept feeling like it while playing the game but kept holding it back because I ain't a bitch.3 days later and 1 litre of wine I finally cried for 10 minutes straight
>>148565879
>fags
That's no way to talk. Say "friends".Yes, I did
>>148565879
Didn't you post exactly that the other day?
>>148566751
nyes...
>>148538569
It's ok anon. I felt exactly the same way. Maybe it's because the game is just sad to you, maybe it's because (like me) it revealed some deep discontentments within you.
I posted a long an embarrassing few posts about it a few threads back.
Eventually you won't feel sad, just dead inside. So you have that to look forwards to.
>>148566607
but I'm a grown man that cried because of a video game featuring lesbians. I MUST say fag a lot to reassert my masculinity.
>>148567003
Dead inside. Yes.
But then you find some level of peace through cuteposting and fanfics.
>>148567121
This is a comfy general and I want to stop calling youbaitcuck. Help me with it why don't you?
>>148567190
More a suppression then finding peace.
By the way, lots of happenings recently, I hope all our friends in France and Turkey, if we had any French or Turks on here, are ok.
>>148567442
Are you Max and I'm Victoria? Are you extending the olive branch of peace?
>>148566751

Only if you want to.
>>148568072
Sacrificing that one kiss for the bae ending just means they can share more kisses, anyway.

Yup. You also give Chloe, David, Victoria, Joyce, and a bunch of other chances to make up for their mistakes and become better.
Where as in the other ending you just shut the door and leave everyone without the maturing and realizations they had during the week.
The storm made people realize how close they were to losing everything and will bring them together.
