side with chloe i know this is old but i reccomend it

[Firewalk]

Easiest call I ever made: Chloe.

[JuanSoloWing]

Chloe, I don't like how Davids acts in episode 3. He doesn't even trust on his family, he has cameras for all over the house.

[Jonathan J. O'Neill]

David. David is ex-military and you can see signs throughout the first three episodes that he's trying to reintegrate into a normal life which can and is a very difficult thing for a combat veteran. Yes, he's rough and terse but there's a reason for it and you can see that he does care about both Chloe and Joyce even though Chloe rebels against him.

I don't think that her being an ass towards him is helping him out when she blames everyone else for her own problems anyways. Everything that happens is Max's, Rachel's, Joyce's, William's or David's fault. She has all the classic signs of depression after he father's death. Playing into that and trying to appease her by aggreeing with her on everything doesn't do anything to help her with that depression. You have to give her a reality check that everything you do for her won't make her happy but that's how the world works.

[Dethlane]

Chloe, of course. David is completely out of line. Several years in civil life and he still treats good people like sh*t, especially Chloe.

He was in normal life for several years, more than enough to reintegrate. And this has nothing to do with him being a complete d*ck to Chloe, Max, Kate and hell-knows-whom-else. He treats Chloe, his own step-daughter, like some sh*tty new army recruit he has to put in shape. That's why she rebels against him. And he only cares about Joyce. He "cares" about Chloe only because she is Joyce's daughter, he doesn't give a f*ck about her as a person.

She blames everyone because no one's there for her. Besides, she has grounds to blame them. Max abandons her when she needs her most. Joyce falls for sgt. a**hat, lets him into family against Chloe's wishes and doesn't do anything about him being a total d*ck to poor girl (blaming Chloe for that instead). Rachel did a lot of bad stuff behind Chloe's back and lied to her face. William is the only one who didn't intentionally hurt her and she acknoledges that, but with her life going hella sh*tty ever since he died, she can't help it.

It's not about appeasing her, satisfying her every whim and whatever. It's about being there for her when she needs it. She needs someone who genuinely cares for her, whom she can rely on.

You know, it speaks volumes for Chloe’s character in the brief hospital scene if you save Kate, and Chloe relents and admits that taking the phone call from Kate was the right thing to do. It actually takes quite a bit to get Chloe ‘against’ Max. I both let Chloe get hit by David in Episode 1 and took the call in Ep 2 and things turned out fine.

The argument with David in Ep3 though, is an easy choice. Personally I think David does care about Chloe, but is so caught up in his ultra-authoritarian views that he just can’t deal with Chloe. He is by far the worst person to be trying to introduce as her step-father and part of that blame can be put onto Joyce as well for not taking her daughter’s feelings into consideration when remarrying, especially so soon after William’s death.

Or that Max should've taken the call (if she didn't). Chloe is kind and caring, she only acts tough and pi*sed to defend herself emotionally because no one was there for her for a hella long time. And her dialogue with Max after the latter's nightmare speaks even louder.

Indeed, Chloe is hella big on forgiveness. Last paragraph of her journal entry about Max (in BtS) shows that.

No regret over bad decisions, huh?

David could be more or less good step-dad for Chloe if he learned to put his sodding pride aside and genuinely care about her as a person. But he only does so when he loses his new family. And yeah, Joyce is to blame too. BtS really shows how f*cked up those two "mature" f*ggots are.

As soon as you find out that Chloe stole the gun you better think twice before siding with her, that's for her own good actually since she got injured or killed because of that gun more than anyone else.

Since when is getting a gun for protection (after almost getting shot) a bad thing? And that gun has nothing to do with Chloe getting killed (except for bad target choice in the junkyard, but it's purely bad luck).

I'm side with Chloe but after seeing what happened in the next episode I'm a little reget.

Took the call wasn't a bad decisions.

Why regret? Mustache doesn't help girls even if Max sided with him.

I meant let sgt d*ckhead hit Chloe. In the call situation both choices are kinda neutral.

After talk to him when he leave the house and read his letter to Joyce I know that he did care for Joyce and Chloe but he just did it the wrong way or his way. And I ruined his family. While side with David didn't leave a big impact on Chloe.
btw I'm not finished the game yet, still at episode 4.

If David was a combat vet then how come he was so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ useless when he came to the darkroom to save Max? I mean come on he can't beat up a school teacher and he has a gun and the teacher doesn't? He even enters the room wrong and that is basic training for a combat vet. He had to have Max coach him into victory and she is just an 18 year old highschool student...

I think David's war time experience had to be in the shipping and receiving aspect of the war....

He cared for Joyce and, through that, for her daughter, but never for Chloe. He never respected her as a person.
He only got kicked from Price house, he can still earn the right to be a part of their family provided he gets on the right track. Besides, he brought this by himself. All this jack*ss had to do is put his sodding pride aside and come clean with Chloe and Max about his investigation.
And yeah, wait until the middle of ep.5. You'll see that siding with Chloe was the right thing to do.
