Nora

[Max Caulfield]

SPOILERS!

How do I get Nora to stay at the bar with Swann and Autumn? I figured out our path in 'Inflitration,' but she left soon afterwards...

you need to cheer her up in conversations with her

Hmm... It doesn't seem to matter what I say after the events... Guess I'll need to start over, and try to be more cheerful towards her?

It's not so much a matter of being cheerful, it's about being patient with her, giving her time to come out of her shell on her own terms.
I'd been playing Swann prior to that as a non-smoker for example, something Nora noticed, but when Nora offered me one in 2022, I weighed it up, and accepted. Because it gave us more time to make small talk, and for her to get stuff off her chest. I even suggested having another, to keep us sitting outside, not putting pressure on her, so when the time came to return to the table, she did it unprompted, and was more willing to stay thereafter.

I was just struggling with this too but I figured it out I think. In scene 7 "Nora's Grief" before recalling the infiltration when you go to check on her outside, you have to make every possible liked response. I kept replaying the scene to learn which responses she liked best, when I got back to the present she was more determined and went inside without convincing.

Oh wow, I got this by default on my first play and it was Autumn who left.

I didn't realize how lucky I apparently was in hindsight to have her stay :O
