[Ep.5 Spoiler] Last pages of Max's diary

[Connor]

just noticed that in the cliff scene before the final choice it's possible to access the journal
got this in a pro-chloe save , was wondering if the pages would be different with choices against chloe (have a save in which i did a playthrough like that til ep.4 ,but don't intend to play ep.5 in that save to see if they're different )

if any of the devs is reading this ,it would be possible to add one or two diary pages in the final cut-scene with max's thoughts about her final decision ?
that would be easy to add and give more sense of closure to the endings for sure

My guess is they won't add any content, they can't.
they aren't even giving proper answers or info about the endings or unfinished plots. Just check twitter, reddit, forums, etc. Devs only give general or abstract info without confirming anything, because they can't.
For example, some "confirmed info":
- Wich ending is canon? they said "the canon ending is the one you chose"
- What happens after Ending B, is everyone really dead? They said "it should stay uncertain"
- What will do now Max and Chloe? They said "Who knows..."

They won't give the fans any concrete info, and less yet more content, because they can't do that. Why can't they? not only because of the effort and budget needed... It's because if they begin to answer specific questions or giving us some new content they won't be able to spot later. They don't want to tell us "NO", so don't do anything specificly.

i wish i'm wrong anyway.

I think some of the ambiguity is integral to the point of the ending. By being specific they'd ruin the dilemma aspect of the choice. They can't give us casualty counts as it would move towards establishing one option as better than the other which would ruin the concept of making us choose between two flawed options.

On topic, surely a Warren fan can get on here and give us a screenshot?

Yeah that's how I feel aswell, I personally still believe very few people actually died, due to information I have found, and so in MY playthrough, hardly anyone did. Just as how in my experience I couldn't be certain sacrificing chloe would even work (I can know by looking up the other ending, but max didn't know at that time), and I purposefully idn't because it would distract from the experience.

And ofcourse there is no canon ending. That would negate the point of the choice.

What max and chloe are doing now? well; my max and chloe went to live with max's parents, as chloe's house is in shambles, and to finally get out of that town, which chloe has always wanted. They're a cute couple now, and max has helped chloe get into night-classes, so she can get into a college, while max herself is still studying photography. ^^

Chloe gotta get her GED first so she can follow Max to college. Max still has to finish her semester at Blackwell and graduate, even if the town got damaged. Blackwell is on the furthest edge of town from the bay, near the forest, so it probably isn't damaged. I don't know how long classes would be delayed because of the storm, but they would surely resume eventually.

I think it's quite likely that Chloe will look to re-entering education and improving herself now that she can have a happy life again. The San Francisco scenes show us that she'd do that since she texts Max about having applied to a school. No reason to think she'd do any different now and with motivation and a happier life she is capable of being a straight A student as shown when we see her report card when William was alive. She has great potential when she doesn't think the world hates her.

Chloe is taking classes to get her GED, she should be able to do it in a year, given that without distraction (like deaths in the family and friends disappearing) she's a straight A student, and she's still a year older than max, this way they can both join a college together.
Max transfered schools. She was only at blackwell for jefferson, who turned out to not exactly be her hero. They did't want to stay in that town anymore, too many bad memories, plus the fact that chloe wanted to leave all this time. (this is't canon, this is my personal ending, which was posted to make the point that there is no canon ending about where they went, it's all up to you)

Is that what your max and chloe are doing? :)
Hmm, maybe we should start a thread for that haha.

I agree it's very intended not to give more info. That's how you keep options for any kind season 2 and generally leaves mystery to things. I'm pretty happy with save Chloe ending even it doesn't show that much. Still it's enogh for me. I know things happened and two main characters continued jorney together. Unlike first ending which was just unlogical and akward.

Where does Max go, though? Blackwell is still a prestigious academy even without Jefferson, I mean, they even have foreign students who come just to attend (Daniel is Spanish)

I only know about transferring colleges, I don't know how it would work go leave high school in the middle of the year and go somewhere else.

I don't think Chloe needs to get her GED as she may have already gotten it. In one of the text messages between her and Max, she applied to the city college (community/junior college for those unware). This was during the San Francisco timeline.

I assumed they overlooked that detail due to being French and not being overly familiar with how the American educational system works. I also figured Chloe would have at least a crappy job at a convenience store or something for spending money if she had her GED. But no one is going to hire a 19 year old who doesn't even have a GED/high school diploma.

bump , is there anyone with a playthrough with all choices against chloe ( didn0t take then blame for the weed -answer kate -don't kiss -side with david and so on ) who can make a screenshot of the last pages of max's diary ?
i want to see if there's a difference , you can start the final scene in collectible mode and access the journal from there before the final decision ,once you decide the journal is not more available

I didn't meet all your requirements since I did kiss Chloe but I did all the other things you mentioned in my first play through when I was trying to do things in a stereo typical 'right' way.
Bizarrely the last page mentions Chloe not really feeling bad about not getting kissed even though I did kiss her. It's very similar to the last page when you do everything for Chloe except it starts with saying Chloe is her best friend, more like family and the 'power of friendship... or love?' line is switched round to 'power of love... or friendship?' changing the emphasis. So if Max doesn't think of Chloe as girlfriend material she'll think of her as the sister she never had.

EDIT: Guess I should really add that screenshot you wanted: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=551961109

PS: This was also the play through in which I didn't have the option to kiss Warren. This Max got none.

so sacrificing arcadia bay fits more with max's journal in any case :)
