David vs Chloe *spoilers*

[Demon of Elru]

I am surprised to see so many people side with David during the fight. David is not a good man he is paranoid secretive and dangerous. maybe we will get some info on him now that he's the "bus driver".

I sided with him. He's definitely paranoid and secretive, but I don't see him as a bad person. No matter how I look at him, he seems to care a hell of a lot about the people he is around. He just doesn't express it well at all. That's just my opinion though.

The hidden cameras and downright stalking is unacceptable.

Oh I completely agree and this is why I like him as a character and sided with him. He's so creepy and weird that I have to believe that he isn't a bad person and that he didn't really have anything to do with Rachel Amber. The paranoia and the cameras I see as a way that he can't get away from being a soldier. He's so used to being in control that he can't give it up. It's unacceptable, but I get it if that's actually what's going on.

I also sided with him... i believe he cares about the students... but yep he's stalking a lot...

I was just trying to politic when I did it. I can't keep slamming him over and over again and not expect consequences for it somewhere down the road. I figure Chloe has to get over it eventually since I tried to shoot someone for her.

I've thought since pretty much Episode One, and there's NUMEROUS hints towards this, that David is a flawed man with good intentions who goes about everything in the most unnecessarily aggressive and obtuse manner possible. I certainly don't agree with some of his actions but there's real concern behind a lot of them if you examine around enough to hear/see things. Plus there's the fact that he's devastated over Kate's suicide attempt as is seen in the end of that episode, his answering machine message all the way back from episode one, the card he hid for Chloe that you can find in this episode (I only looked at that once for a few seconds tho, maybe I'm misremembering and that was a card William had meant for Chloe-pretty sure I saw David's name on the card tho), etc. etc. He's a huge red herring as far as I'm concerned. Especially with the way our heroines read things with the way the episode sets things up.

IE: SPOILERS











Nathan talking about him in the files on the principal's computer reads less to me like David and Nathan are bros and more like Nathan is delusion, reading into things, and stalking David himself. The guy, in that timeline, has serious fricking mental issues and we can see that as clear as day from the files. The connection of them being "bros" as Chloe put it, is most likely a product of Nathan's own fragile psyche than anything with real merit to it.


I sided with David to cool things down, because Chloe frankly needs to too, and because David doesn't seem as bad as his exterior lets on if you take the time to learn more about him and think about why he does what he does. Again, I may not always agree with how he goes about things, and I certainly haven't sided with him on a lot prior, but he's not as bad as all that.


Honestly the most likely people to be suspicious of are either A) Nobody, B) maybe Jefferson. or C) Nathan (or his family)

However, Nathan himself seems to be a huge red herring too and my suspicions are that he is the way he is because of his upbringing more than anything else. As much as he's a psychotic ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ (as the files in the principal's office prove) , he's a victim too. I don't see him being behind Rachael's disappearance or the red files we saw in the endings of the previous two episodes. Jefferson on the other hand has been in the background a lot this whole time. He has photos of young women all over his classroom. He has connections to at least Kate and Rachael (dubious ones in the laters case) . He at the very least turned down Victoria's advances in this episode, so points to him for that. But he's so far the one sorta-major cast member with some of the least amount of screen-time. As for Frank, he's had little screen-time as well since he was only introduced last episode and so far I'm not all too suspicious of him. He's not trustworthy but I'm certainly not suspicious of him for some of the game's more major mysteries. He even has some hints of complexity beneath.

The reason I say Nobody (or maybe not necessarily nobody but rather someone who we may not even know yet-or it could be ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ anybody for all we know) is because something I've noticed with this game is that many of the characters are subtly flawed. No one is really pure evil or pure good. Though some certainly do show sides of themselves that are very confrontational and frankly evil as ♥♥♥♥ more than they do their other sides. So, I don't know if it's fair to say that this game has any true villain. At least not yet. The more obvious go to answers are Nathan, Victoria or David. But for various reasons I can't buy any of them. That leaves people like Warren (who does have some suspicion going for him but not enough for me), the principal (nothing TOO suspicious with him yet tho he could certainly be involved), or Jefferson who I have already briefly touched on.

I sided with Chloe because I'm trying to get them to hook up at some point. Mainly just to see if it's going to be an option but partly just for ***** and giggles

I sided with david because, as mentioned before, he suffers from severe PTSD and transitioning issues (as hinted at numerous times within ep 1-3) but has good intentions.

Hes actually to my knowledge the only other character that's actively trying to figure out what happened to Kate and Rachael besides Max and Chloe so his help may come in handy later which is why I try to be friendly as much as possible to him.

[Combo]

I sided with Chloe, because she's a friend and I feel like I had to stood up for her. He seems a good person but he seems a bit paranoid with all the security stuff.

[Onion]

I sided with Chloe, but when i saw that birthday wish he had for chloe at his drawer i felt really, REALLY bad for him.

[Serith Vastyne]

I was going to side with Chloe, but then I realized David does have good intentions (wanting to protect his family even though he has very bad issues with Chloe), and siding with him might make him an ally in future episodes when making even more important decisions. I already sided against him in the first episode but then blamed Nathan in the second, but that was when he's more of a sympathetic character only trying to do what's right, and so far Chloe doesn't see that at all. Also siding with Chloe means you break up the entire family and that includes hurting Joyce.
