Saving Arcadia Bay, it was the easiest choice imaginable.
Chloe is an asshole to you and everyone around town throughout the whole game. If you play the game again and pay attention to Chloe's compliments, literally 95% of them are only when she is complimenting your powers your complimenting you directly after you use your powers.
I started playing the game while knowing what the final choice would be and thought "oh yeah I'm gonna save Chloe easily" after seeing the people of Arcadia Bay. But once I finished the game, I realized the fact that this town has literally no bad people in it(other than the villain of the game).
Throughout the game literally every single person in town either
A- Become a better person and regret their past misdeeds
B- Prove they were never a bad person in the first place and we just didnt know their motives
C- Was just confused but had a good heart
D- Was literally just a schizophrenic kid getting manipulated(Also before anyone stupid enough to think this implies I'm saying "Nathan did nothing wrong". No, he still committed heinous crimes and he should face proper criminal justice for it, but he does not deserve death. He has a chance to get better and deserves actual therapy and a chance to re-integrate into society once he is out.)
When choosing between "A whole town of people who have grown from their bad behavior and are very happy/nice" and "The girl who has been a bitch to you and everyone around you throughout the whole story and does not show a single TINY bit of growth"?
Yeah the choice isnt really difficult there.



Although this goes without saying but despite me being extremely critical of the "save chloe" choice, its still a game lmao if you chose to save chloe because you just like her a lot then its understandable too.
Oh forgot to add it but I think with how Chloe and Max were written in LIF, I think their little epilogue in Double Exposure was really well done and is a realistic outcome to them as Chloe "fell in love" with Max at the end due to the events of the game and the whole "Saved my life" thing rather than falling in love with Max as a person. They understood the momentary teenage crush born from surviving a disaster really well



@Nehiri no hey I get you, like all of this is really valid, but I really did just fell in love w the character of Chloe, idk, made me overlook all the stuff you said tbf 😭 Honestly I just let my heart make the choice , but the rational side of me did find it ridiculous too lol
Yeah I get it lol thats why I had to add the second comment. If I judged anyone for siding with an objectively bad character(not writing, like bad as a bad person) it'd be super hypocritical of me since more often than not I root for the most fucked up and irredeemably bad people in games lmfao



@Nehiri exactly, even when it sometimes doesn't make sense at all
@Nehiri Spit your shit, friend. I absolutely could not stand Chloe. She is a horrible influence on Max and would’ve dragged Max down with her. A majority of the town treated Max better than Chloe did and we had more Max + Chloe Content than we did Max + anyone else. I don’t blame the town for telling Max that Chloe wasn’t good for her.
Not to mention there’s literally a path where Chloe accidentally shoots herself?? And the player is supposed to think that Chloe is a good person for Max? A person who doesn’t even follow basic gun safety and plays with firearms like they’re toys? Chloe was an active danger to Max.
@li I mean yea fair, however if you try and look at it from a diff perspective, she was only 19, now don't get me wrong she should be a little more mature, but also, who really is at 19? Also considering all the stuff that happened to her, she lost her dad and Max when she was really young, and when she finally found someone who made life better for her again- Rachel, she went missing and later she finds her dead. Like, I'd loose my shit too honestly.
i chose bay over bae!! i fully believe that the games ending was always intended to be choosing arcadia bay over chloe, to show that she could never truly be saved yknow? it also makes the game a lot more emotion-inducing and makes it stick with you a lot better! :P
@jizz jovana :3 that’s a really good way to look at it actually!
i kissed warren then left him to die to save Chloe🌹
@Maxie⛧˚₊‧ lmfaoo
Bay over bae, it already seemed as if Chloe wanted to sacrifice herself despite everything she went through whilst living in Arcadia bay and it seems like a pretty fitting end for her character. that's my opinion at least
