How does this work, what about the other characters from the first game?

[Localmind]

I know about Chloe but what about the others from the first game? Ok sure, maybe they didn't go to the same university but they can't join her on her new adventure or anything? Will there be more possible romance options between various characters like the first one as well? I'm just wondering how this sequel would even work. I know they didn't reveal that much but it seems like that one guy with glasses is a new "companion" character, but is that it? Is Max alone in this journey or they just not spoiling the other "companion" characters that are possible?

I'd love to hear your thoughts people!

this whole game is pointless and doesnt make sense at all story wise. its just a cashgrab and nothing else.

We don't know enough about the story to really say that.

The problem is that the first game didn't really leave a "positive experience" for ANY of the other characters. Yeah, Kate probably didn't commit suicide, Victoria probably graduated like everyone else and went on to do her own thing. Joyce and David probably split up, due to Chloe's death, and Max at that point didn't have much of a reason to stick around in Arcadia Bay.

I mean, the alternative is to accept the other ending, where almost EVERYBODY but Max and Chloe die. The only two people who even had a SLIGHTLY happy future were Steph and Max. Steph met Alex in True Colors, while Max probably took some time off. After all, she's apparently attending university in this one (thought whether as a BA or Masters is still ambiguous).

Don't know about cashgrab, but I will say it doesn't make sense initially. And going off the first game (as others on this forums have stated), isn't it just going to end the same way as it did with Chloe (basically)?

I don't mind new stories with new people, I just don't see how this story will make any sense.

Oh and what about that guy that you had the opinion of having a bit of romance connection with and making out (kiss option) from the first game? I can't recall his name or what happened to him based on this upcoming sequel.

I can't wait, here's my theory, this Max Caulfield we're seeing isn't ours, its an alternate Max from a parallel reality, but i bet as the game progresses she'll meet our Max.

You mean Warren? I mean, he was presented as a potential love interest, but he was also a bit "stalkery". Though I know that was just him being awkward. Either way, like all the other students, he wasn't really emphasized after either ending. Hell, the only reason he has any relevance is cause he's crushing on Max. If you don't reciprocate, he actually decides to take up Brooke's offer to go to the movies.

but that makes you wonder, why even make a story with Max again just for it to not even be the Max we know.

Ah thanks for the reminder. Yeah all the previous characters you mentioned I wonder if they are going to be in this somehow. If not, just strange to do a sequel. New people fine and all, but "ignoring" the previous people would be questionable in my eyes.

Yeah I see your point here. Just make a whole new story or something mhm in that case.
