Board 8 > just finished episode 3 of life is strange and omg

(+) Yeah! (+)

Also when people ask "I don't get ___" and I explain my interpretation, I'm not trying to force it on them. They have no interpretation so I'm offering mine which I haven't seen a good counter to. If they have a different one and want to argue about it then fine.

If you feel like doing a second playthrough, I recommend a complete opposite choices playthrough. I was surprised at how often I felt like not wanting to make those alternate choices, and I almost rewound when I killed Pompidou.

Another thing about the ending, where it's clear that the Chloe ending is the "bad" ending.

A big theme of this game is rebellion. Rebelling against adults and society and all that. So how do you make a game where the player actually rebels? You can't just put them on a path towards rebellion, because then they are just following your instructions, which is the opposite of rebellion. Instead, the whole point of the game is to set up an ending where it's extremely obvious what the right answer is, but you pick the wrong answer anyway. That's true rebellion. That's why the Chloe ending, which is half baked and unsatisfying on the surface, is actually deeply brilliant and a perfect culmination of the entire game.

The fact that the game can deeply support both a rebellious ending and a redemptive ending with just 1 choice like that is pretty amazing. People complain about how binary it is but both endings are fully built up throughout the game so it's really not simple at all.

@Robazoid you know "Farewell" will be out today right
---

I know! I probably won't be able to play it until late tomorrow night though so someone else might make a discussion topic before me. I'm excited for it.

Glad you finished! Cool to see your vindication on Mr. Jefferson -- I thought you called that before the end of Episode 1.

Nightmare gets too much hate. The sneaking sucks, but that cutscene from when you sit is one of the best in the series. The Blue Whale scene was great too. Walking through the Chloe timeline could have been a little shorter but it was fine. The final choice was HEAVY, though one of the endings clearly had a lot more thoughtfulness put into it and the developers wanted you to pick that ending.
