    [S1] Just finished LiS1. How LiS1 changed me. Post Lis thought

    Posted: 06 Nov 2019 11:47 PM PST

    Hi Redditors, I just finished life is strange one last night, and for the previous 24 hours, I couldn't stop thinking about this game and its impact on me. Life is Stange is perhaps the most relatable, transformative, and fantastic game/emotional rollercoaster that I have ever experienced. I wish to share some of my points and how it transformed me as a person.

    Three things really stood out to me when I played this game.

    a) Chloe's personality

    b) The relationship between Max and Warren

    d) The Bae and bay decision

    Although they are all intricately related and, to be honest, I don't really know how I feel. I am going to do my best to describe this feeling that could bring me to tears anytime.

    First, I love Chloe. Out of all the characters in the story, Chloe is my favorite. I think as a shytrovert who is smart, loyal, and a lack of confidence, now writing it out, I am quite similar to Max, I am just drawn to Chloe just as Max did. Chloe is extraordinary in every trait that I wish I am better at. The fact that she lives without care, the way she expresses herself, and the way she cares about Max and Rachel. I wished I can have a friend just like her. Towards the end of the diary, Max says Chloe is her hero without really explain why. I feel the same way. Even tho she is a game character, I feel like she is my hero. By playing this game, I believe she taught me the strength and attitude I need to take on the whole world, and I am almost certain I will never forget a character like her. Be the fking confident badass I need to be. Just live and live as hard as you can. Don't regret the decision that you make.

    Second, I want to talk about the relationship Warren and Max. In my heart, I feel like Max never had a romantic interest in Warren. Throughout the story, I feel like Warren was a little bit pushy, and it makes me think about how I interact with girls in my personal life. I have never been on the side of a relationship where I have a girl throwing herself at me, trying to catch my attention. Therefore, I don't know how that feels like, but through Max's eye, I get so irritated by how pushy Warren was. Give the man his credit, you miss all the shots you don't take, but I think I see so much of myself in him that I couldn't stand how much he bends over for her. It hurts me to see that, but, on the other hand, I denied all his advancement towards Max. It's like I gain a perspective from both sides and instead of giving him the love he wants. I give him how I feel Max truly feels, which is a friend. Its just truly eye opening that the game developer can capture this tricky relationship so well. How will that affect my personal life and how I approach women? I honestly don't know...

    Last, the infamous bay and bae decision. Base on the fact that I declare my love for Chloe, you can probably guess I choose to sacrifice Arcadia bay. What's bizarre and the main reason I want to write this post is... deep inside, I have no doubt that saving the bay in favorite of Chloe is wrong. I was taught for so long that I should always do the greater good because society is built on the people's sacrifice for the greater good. However, I have no hesitation when I was presenting this choice. As a matter of fact, I read ahead in Wikipedia before I finished episode 5 and I knew that I wanted to save Chloe instead of Bay. I feel like this is a turning point for me in my life because there is no way I would pick Chloe over the Bay a couple of years ago. Is this choice a reflection of myself going to be selfish and take care of my well being over others? I think so. I have been going through a lot of things in the last couple of months. I think I am finally ok with me putting myself in front of others now, and I found out through this game.

    Maybe its because I see myself in Max in so many ways. I am just so touched by this game, and I wouldn't say I have post LIS depression, but this game definitely open my eyes to life in many ways I didn't expect. I am confused by the effect that this game has on me. I still have so much to say, like my decision to kill Chloe at an alternative timeline because I respect her decision but I choose to sacrifice the bay the second time when she wants to save other people. I am just so confused that I don't know how to say it.

    It has been a crazy roller coaster and I am not sure if I am ready to digest it all yet.

    Thank you all for reading. Please let me know what you guys think and share anything you want.

    Edit: I just want to appreciate all the supports and discussions that this subreddit provide. I will try to read through all of the responses and answer them through out the week. I am glad to have this journey with all of you!

    [ALL] After replaying the game, I've come to dislike the alternate timeline

    Posted: 07 Nov 2019 07:59 AM PST

    The "William lives" timeline, I mean. I guess it would be worthy to discuss how... problematic it probably was to portray being paralyzed from the neck down as the worst thing that could happen to a person, but I won't get into that since it can be argued that for Chloe, someone who has been the adventurous kind, that would be a huge blow to her spirit. Not to mention the fact that it led the Price to be indebted for life, so, for those reasons, it's perhaps understandable that both Max and Chloe would want to get out of the life as soon as possible.

    What bothers me most about that plotline is Chloe herself. Sure, Chloe grew into a different woman without losing her dad and not having to live with step-douche, but the game clearly shows that that Chloe wasn't all that different from the original one (excluding all the trauma, she's still a punk and flirts with Max the same way the original did), so it perplexes me that she was willing to throw her life away so easily immediately after getting her best friend in her life again. The original Chloe, besides being loyal to a fault, was never one to give up, even after all odds were against her. She didn't even give up on Rachel after she'd disappeared for six months, when everyone else, even Rachel's parents, had.

    So, here we have this Chloe, who's different from the original Chloe, but not really, and she asks Max to pull the plug on her, instead of, you know, valuing the fact that her best friend was back and that she could have the final moments of her life be the best ones possible. And, yeah, I get it, dontnod put a time bomb in her and she could die at any moment, but can't the same be said about all of us? OG Chloe is proof of that. Why not appreciate the moments we have with our loved ones while we can?

    And, yes, I know that the decision to euthanize Chloe was put there just to prepare the player for what would come in the final episode. It just strikes me as... forced that 1) Chloe, who isn't one to give up, was willing to at the exact moment when her life started taking a turn for the best and that 2) loyal to a fault Chloe would subject her best friend to something that's all but homicide, leading her into a lifetime of trauma and, possibly, imprisonment.

    What are your thoughts? Am I overthinking this? I just took my meds so that would explain why.

    [S2] My Prediction for Life is Strange 2 Episode 5.

    Posted: 07 Nov 2019 12:31 PM PST

    My prediction for this game since the beginning has been that Max and Chloe will appear at the end and tell the brothers about Max's power and they can bring back the Dad. Maybe the final choice would be either "Bring back Dad" and pretty much sacrifice everything you've done in the game and all the memories and friends you've met along the way OR "Live your life out in Mexico". Seems like a pretty easy decision but after everything the brothers have been through together and how much they've learnt and grown as individuals, I think it could be hard for them to go back. Maybe something else amazing happens while they're in Mexico making it even harder for them to give it up.

    One thing that's stood out to me is that Sean still has a photo of his dad and this could be used when they meet up with the girls to turn back time.

    I honestly really hope this happens. This game has not touched me as much as the first game did but hopefully this would top it off for me.

    [No Spoilers] Help with character quotes?

    Posted: 06 Nov 2019 05:04 PM PST

    I've never made a reddit post before, so I'm feeling a bit shy! Anyways to the point!

    I'm making LIS charms with Max, Chloe and Rachel! And I'd really love to put memorable quotes from the girls on each charm, but nothing is coming to mind right now, it's driving me crazy! So if anyone can toss out some good quotes, preferably one sentence length. It's really appreciated! <3
