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.

She seemed rather unhinged and it didn't seem like she had good intentions. It seemed fueled by anger. So I turned her down as well. Like it makes sense to want answers etc, but I didn't get a good vibe from her.

On one hand I think if they make another game like promised they'll expand on all the unanswered questions that they left open, including Safi. On the other....I'm not sure this particular choice will be answered or will be impactful in any meaningful way. It'd be too hard to implement diverging stories in the next game. There's a reason Chloe and og LIS was pushed more to the side and boiled to its simplest elements.

Already did

Seems like they're trying to make a superhero sequel. The first game, we see only max has powers, they never explained about it, it just happened. The whole game was just a normal life in town with girls being kidnapped and murdered. it was max using her powers that causes all the strange things to happen while trying to get justice.

Funny you mention the comic. I remember that in the comics, Max was forcefully separated from the same Chloe that you saved in your play-through and gets stuck in a timeline where Chloe is in love with Rachel. Sure, Max is eventually reunited with the Chloe she loves, but thanks to Titan Comics' greed, that took 3 years and 18 issues to actually happen. What else could have Deck Nine "borrowed" from the comic besides adding in Chloe and Rachel that would have benefited the game?

I wanted to refuse at first but it was a tempting offer, I mean they can rob banks, kill whoever they want, be wanted fugitives and go to Puerto Lubos...

[Mythical Ostrich]

I refused. Safi was getting a little too crazy and wanted to abuse her powers. Max wouldn't want that

[Mimuiz]

I accepted Safi’s offer, not to "conquer the world by his side" but to leave him an open door.
Safi suffers from a personality disorder, hence his power.
Leaving is the right decision, she breaks free from her mother’s control.
Now she is free to discover who she is and also to accept her mistakes.
Of course I am aware that Safi is someone unstable, but it is part of the symptoms of personality disorder and it is not in a night that she will heal.
It will be a long process that we may see in the future (well I hope).
Of course all this is only my interpretation:).

When Safi took the form of Amanda despite promised not to do it again, she lost all of her remaining creadibility. And because of with great power comes great ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, I refused her offer.

It's strange to me that about 2/3 of the players does acceptetd.

yeah she said she would NEVER look like moses but in the final chapter she really did became moses so her promises means nothing.

Did the same thing, at the End of the game it says "Max coming back". this wasnt the last LIS game with max and i think that Lis Double Exposure is just a beginning for a new "idea" for the life is strange future. we have multiple humans with "superpowers".. now and finaly they know about each other. i think the whole lis series will end up like a marvel movie in a huge war where they fight each other with there powers. also i say it here and now, chloe coming back in the next life is strange games mark my words.

[Clementine]

I was struck by the text after the credits like in the James Bond movies. Max will be back. They should let her retire and give other characters in the next parts. And not milk her like a golden hen. Just because it's Max. I thought they were going to do a definitive end to this character

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.

Not saying I'm happy with what this turned out to be, but I'm very glad they didn't go the direction of the comic. Personally, I thought it was terrible. Like, really terrible. Almost as bad as LiS2 (that's a lie, nothing will ever be as bad as that lol, but still very unappealing, and I pushed through all of the comics, to the very end).

Honestly, if they had just stuck to exactly the premise as it was originally understood, the murder mystery thing, it probably would have been solid. Interesting premise, unique vs other entries, new interesting power, etc. What we got was...um... a mixed bag. Also, not really a fan of how the bad guy was, in more ways than one, basically the same kind of person as in LiS1. Weirdly lazy.
