Chapter 5 ending

[Thotsuey]

Dont know if i made the right choice but if you didnt play the game yet do not read this, But i do not know if i made the right choice or not.. i refused Sofi's choice to essentially "rule the word together", in the end of chapter 5 you are given the choice to either refuse or accept her proposal because in the chapter she said theyre Gods with this power they have, they can rule the world together. Please help! did anyone else make that decision as well.

yeah for now nobody really can tell what will happen after taking these choice, since the game ends at this point, we need to wait for future story content to really know what our choices really did. What I can tell Safi is now free and basically looking for every Super in the world. We might made a mistake since she is pretty unstable. But I decided to just trust her and took her hand. I think having her on good terms will be an advantage later, since Safi is trusting Max and would not take justice on her. Also really interesting that Diamond seems to have powers too.

[Thotsuey]

so it really doesnt matter whether or not you accept or refuse her offer. Idk i felt like Safi was unstable and only used her powers for "revenge" thats why i chose to reject her offer because Max moved on...

given how the games ends setting up what i assume is a direct sequel, im assuming how you answer safi will play a part in the next game.
at least im hoping, bc as it stands its basically only one ending unlike 1 or 2.

We all know that a sequel ( if its ever made) will just ignore your ending choice and railroad everyone into the same linear story path.
Like these games always do.
Thats why its such a bad idea to make direct sequels for these kind of games.
The LiS 1 ending worked so well because it was THE END. The end of the story with no continuation they had to consider in another game.
We see what happens if they have to do that in this game. And its not pretty.
Its just terrible writing to get everyone to the same starting point and basically ignores your old decisions.

So, they took a game about two kids investigating a murder and falling in love and turned it into some sort of stupid Marvel fanfic? What happened to Chloe? In my play through of the first game they were still together.

Sounds like they should have borrowed from the comic a lot more. Chloe, Rachel. That was interesting. Too bad they just took the new power and made it stupid.

If you choose the Chloe ending in LiS 1 they just forcefully separate them for this game.
Basically if they were romantically involved then Chloe broke up with Max because she is a "free spirit" and they have not seen each other in years at the start of DE.
And if they were just friends basically the same happened, they drifted apart and have not seen each other in years.

Basically Deck Nine wanted to make a game continuing the ending where Chloe died but had to include the ending where she lived too but clearly did not care about it so they just wrote her out of the story in the first 20 minutes and then ignored her existence.


They also clearly want to turn this into some superhero franchise with a bunch of characters that have different powers and are in conflict with each other, completely missing the point of what LiS was always about.
The powers never were in the forefront of the stories, they were a tool for character development.
But apparently from now on the powers are the main focus and they turn this franchise into a poor mans version of the MCU.

Who knows? I just pretend that LiS 1+2 are the only games that exist and everything else is Deck Nine´s fanfiction version.

just play a different game

I refused her offer.

Max went through absolute hell, endured so much trauma, pain and torture to fix others. Over and over and over again.
If not for Max, Safi wouldn't have made it. No one would have.

Yet all Safi cared about was- being strong? Ruling over others? Using her powers for- what? Her own gain?

Max knows what consequences this will have. She has been there before and last time; she ran.
If you play LiS2 or LiS: TC; you know. There is always a consequence and it is never a good one.

If there is a sequel or DLC; I hope they have us reflect that onto Safi. That the powers won't fix anything.

SO the ending is like X men, Max is Charles xavier and Safi is Max Eisenhardt ( Magneto )

That's the perfect description.

[mutantbeth]

refusing felt like the "good" ending tbh. Safi reminds me of Rachel, someone embracing their chaotic nature over being cautious about it which is in Maxs nature.

It could matter as well as Aldermann scene in the next game...

It doesn't matter only one ending

They had a real chance to make a great game here. It is frustrating that they seem to have wasted it. I really enjoyed the first game. I will feel free to express my opinion. Thanks.
