Episode 5 Chloe & Max Kiss (spoilers)

[Bullet_Catcher*]

What important decisions did you make to get Chloe and Max to kiss at the end? I kissed her when she dared me to. I sided with her against David. I took the blame for smoking weed.

I did pretty much everything to make her happy, but I still didn't get to kiss her. I need this scene for a fan video I'm making. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

EDIT:
Apparently the choice that matters is if you took Chloe's dare and kissed her and you didn't kiss Warren. Scroll down for more detailed descriptions of our choices.

Hello !

Can I ask someone with the final Max/Chloe kiss scene if you can upload your save file ?

I did so many think and I want to see what pattern did you choose from the start until the end and compare it with mine !

Thanks !

Quick question: Does she only kiss you if you sacrifice her? I'm guessing so but I a) decided to kill a whole town instead and b) kissed Warren so I don't know if I'd have got a more romantic scene if I didn't kiss Warren, or if it fully depended on me sacrificing her?

Kissing Warren wont affect the ending if you Sacrifice Arcadia Bay. You don't get to kiss Chloe in that ending regardless. It might have affected the final page of Max's journal but I'm not sure about that. It might be based purely on Max's relationship with Chloe.

It depends on their relationship. Kissing Warren might count against their relationship (it probably does, actually) but not enough to ruin it unless you were only barely pro-Chloe to start with.

Of course, if you DO RP the way that Max loves Chloe there is really no reason to kiss the W anyways.

In the pool scene in Episode 3, does it make any difference at all whether Max chooses the girls or the boys locker room? I'm assuming it doesn't because the butterfly doesn't come up and you can get to either via the pool, but maybe Chloe reads something into that. Hard to know how her mind works sometimes.

With her different response of 'Perv' or 'Ooh la la' it does sound like she's reading somethign into it but, as you say, we aren't warned of consequences so probably not. You also have the third option to go through which ever door she opens and rewind until she's outside again, repeating the Principal's office trick and avoiding actually giving her a final answer.

Hadn't thought of that. Clever!

I got the kiss in the end. These were my choices

I took the blame for the weed
I answered Kate's phonecall.
I didn't shoot Frank in the junkyard.
I kissed Chloe in her bedroom.
I sided with Chloe against David.
I DID NOT help Chloe commit suicide in the parallel reality.
I kissed Warren in the diner
I sacrificed Chloe

The thing is though if you tear up the photo and allow the storm to wreck Arcadia Bay then Max and Chloe will be together for the rest of their lives so there will be plenty of time for them to kiss once they leave town.... that is the ONLY ending for me.... ♥♥♥♥ the town! SAVE CHLOE! xD!

I posted here a few months ago, and I've made some other observations.

Remember, doing 3 out of 4 early choices (taking the blame, not answering Kate, shooting Frank, stealing money) will cause Chloe to change the photo on her phone to Max instead of Rachel, so this really is just ONE factor. I only did 2 of these, so DIDN'T get this.
- Kissing Chloe in her room seems like a no-brainer - DO IT! (I did)
- Siding with Chloe against David is another positive factor. (I did)
- I doubt euthanising Chloe makes a difference, as it's a different timeline, but I did anyway.

I haven't really investigated the Warren situation. I accepted his offer to Go Ape but only hugged him in the diner (I thought that kiss was pretty feeble anyway!)

The developers deliberately didn't have Max and Chloe share a "big damn kiss" if you choose to keep her alive at the end, as I bet everyone would decide to do that if they had put it in.

It wouldn't make a difference to how Chloe feels about Max but it could be a measure of how Max feels about Chloe but I also doubt it makes any difference as if I was in Dontnod's position there is no way I'd be going anywhere near making a statement about which of those choices means Max loves her more. Nope. Not touching that topic with a ten foot pole. Make your choice, justify it to yourself, I'm not going to pass judgement on what's 'best'.

Well, for what ending did you go? The kiss only happens in the "Sacrifice Chloe" ending.
Because its pretty much a goodbye kiss and the last chance for Max to express her feelings before Chloe is gone forever.
In the other ending they have their whole life together ahead of them, so plenty of time to kiss later.
Even the devs said so.

gz... you've picked most boring options I think

you have to do 3 out of the following 4 things; taking the blame for the weed, ignoring Kate's call, shooting Frank, taking the handicapped fund money. This will ensure Chloe puts your photo as the background on her phone instead of leaving it as her and Rachel. Then you MUST kiss Chloe when she dares you. As far as I'm aware, no choices after this have any effect on the end.

I would agree with you, but I think there's more too it than that. If you watch Emma Blackery's playthrough then she still gets the kiss at the end but she doesn't try to shoot frank and answers the call from Kate in the diner. That's already two out of the four things she hasn't done so I don't really get it??
