I hate Chloe.

[luxaeterna63]

Am I the only one? I'm pretty sure that I'm supposed to like her, but honestly I just hate her guts. (Don't get me wrong, the character is well designed, I'm talking from a "personal" point of view.)

Obviously, she's gone through a lot but here are some things that bother me about her:

- She doesn't even try to to understand Max' point of view. She just accuses her for abandoning her and not staying in touch (even though Chloe obviously didn't try to stay in touch aswell) and makes her feel bad.

- She acts like a total snitch: If you don't hide from her dad she actually blames the joint on you, and if you don't come out of the closet she blames you for not backing her up. If i remember correctly she even plays down the fact that Sgt. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stomped and threatened Max for something Chloe did, by calling it an "epic win" and stuff like that.

- She seems like a total crock. Messy, drug addicted, involved in blackmailing, etc.

I think the player is ment to sympathize with her, because her step-douche is such a ♥♥♥♥ and she went through a lot, but i feel like she contributes just as much to her bad situation. (Stealing her dad's stuff, getting involved in illegal stuff, living in that messy "hole", just drinking beer, blazing and eating pizza all day long, doing her "rebel show" etc.

Due to that, I just can't symphatize or relate to her, I don't even feel bad for her because her miserable situation partly is her own fault. I was anything but thrilled when I noticed that she's going to become an important character and the next episode will be about her and Max. I'd much rather have Warren as a 2nd protagonist.

What do you think about this? Does anyone share my opinion?

just like u said she went trough a lot
i mean she lost her best friends and her dad and has to live with her step"dad" who isnt really gud at being understanding or anything like that
but she still has a good heart she even said that kate is cool not like most of the other sudents at blackwell so i think she didnt change that much at the end
i liked her tbh c:

I can totally get you, she's a deadbeat.
She's obviously willing to ♥♥♥♥ up Max's live just to avoid a lil trouble with her step-douche, though she already hates him and it can't get any worse. When you need to get rid of a pile of crap you don't dump it in the ballroom but the dunghill. Someone will obviously get that wrong because it's very harsh and graphic.

I just hope (but kinda doubt) the game lets me decide whether to let Max like or not like "the new Chloe".

[Trancos]

Same here, but I also think she's just a confused teenager, she may change in the next episodes

[Turboslav]

I can understand where you're coming from, but I find Chloe really relatable.

[Maradriela]

Hate her? A bit harsh imo. Max doesn't hate her..

[Risa Koizumi]

My impression is that Chloe puts up a prickly exterior because she doesn't want to get close to and thus vulnerable with anybody. She's already expressed her view that everybody leaves her behind, and she's always the one stuck cleaning up her own emotional disasters with no one for her to lean on. She doesn't even feel secure in her own bedroom, how hard is it for her to heal after broken friendships and relationships?

But I agree, she really rubbed me the wrong way at first, despite her getting some of the best pithy lines in the episode. But by giving Max grief about being far away and not even trying to keep their friendship alive long-distance, she's saying, "You hurt me and I missed you."

At the end of the episode however, she seemed genuinely concerned and caring when faced with what she can only assume is Max starting to lose her marbles.

If you hate Chloe now... just wait...

[Astrion]

I don't hate her. Granted, I think she could be a little less narrow on her situation. Her Stepfather probably suffers from PTSD, and that itself is hard for people to handle without suffering eccentric personality changes. Her dad's a bit of an ass, yeah, but she doesn't help either with the way she acts. She doesn't seem to have a lot of sympathy. With what shes been through, I can understand why. But withour sympathy or understanding, we're just as ignorant as we were if we weren't informed at all.

loseing her dad, best freind and then replacment best freind is rough on anyone. but for a teenager. its not preety. Now i actually agree with you i find her hard to like, but im also a adult looking at it from the outside with way more info than she has. i understand her even if i dont agree with her.

she seem like the kind of person who dig herself into a hole but realizes it to late. mabey we will see her change. assuming she lives throue the story.... i have a feeling finding rachel will help (unless we find her dead body)

You're not "supposed" to like Chloe. IMHO, you are not "supposed" to like anyone in this game. It's entirely up to you, the player, to choose who you want to like on whatever basis. You're not alone. A few posters in this forum share your opinion. I love Chloe. She's my favorite character, but I completely understand where you're coming from.

I want to express my throughts as to why Chloe is the way she is and why she's acting the way she is. This is not to change your mind about her. I don't care about that. I just want to give you a different perspective.

- Understand that Chloe and Max were BEST FRIENDS since childhood. They have a huge history that we only catch quick glimpses of by interacting with certain objects in Chloe's house. (The wine stain, the sofa, Chloe's wardrobe, etc.) It's no surprise Chloe felt "abandoned" when Max, her best friend, just ups and vanishes without saying anything. Never attempting contact. Not even once. For 5 years. And as far as we the players know, Chloe had no way of getting a hold of Max. Max did not leave behind any contact information. (If wrong please correct me on that.) Now, was Chloe being a little harsh on Max? Maybe. But Chloe deserves to know why Max just vanished without a trace. So I find Chloe's "pushing" for answers justified. I felt sad for both Chloe and Max during the truck ride. Max obviously felt awful for not contacting Chloe. And Chloe was visibly upset and hurt by Max's answers. It was an awkward reunion but I believe the two sort of reconciled before episode one ended.

- I saw that scene in a YouTube video. I felt bad for Max. Chloe had no right to put her in such a difficult spot. I also found it odd, so I started thinking why Chloe would do such a thing to her ex-best friend, the same day they reunite. It seemed to me like Chloe was testing Max. She was trying to find out if Max would take the fall for her. Why? Hard for me to say. Maybe because Chloe feels really alone right now. She lost her father, Max, and then Rachel. Having to deal with the crazy step-dad doesn't make things any easier. I think Chloe just wanted to see if there was anyone left that cared about her (besides her mom maybe). It was easy for Chloe to throw Max under the bus like that because she probably feels Max had nothing to lose, and probably assumed Max wouldn't have to deal with any repercussions. I'm not saying what Chloe did here is right. I'm just trying to understand why she did it.

- Her room's a mess. Yep. lol And her tank top is a little dirty. :P (Though, personally, I love her style. It's very much like mine.) And she has undoubtedly made bad life decisions. She's going to make more. lol But I think most teens who lose a parent, bff, etc, at the same time, would make bad decisions too, especially if they go at it alone. This "new" Chloe is the result of little to no emotional support during a very difficult time, imo. :/

Anyway, this post is long enough!! That's what I think on the subject. Since we're only one episode in, things are bound to change!

I hope you still enjoy episode 2! :)

I totally love Chloe. Shes my favorite charecter so far! :)

[MusicalHex]

And that
- She acts like a total snitch: If you don't hide from her dad she actually blames the joint on you, and if you don't come out of the closet she blames you for not backing her up. If i remember correctly she even plays down the fact that Sgt. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stomped and threatened Max for something Chloe did, by calling it an "epic win" and stuff like that.

She did in fact say
Chloe: Thanks for takeing the heat.

The ONLY thing David did wrong was not hitting her again.
