Forced lesbian romance?

[Scars]

Why the ♥♥♥♥ are they pushing it so far? Wanted to be BFF with Rachel, but I literally can't. There is always that cringy ambiguity between them.
And no Elliot romance. Would have been cool to kiss him in Rachel's father room.
Could have change the ending. Elliot could have help Chloe instead of being a ♥♥♥♥♥.

Because that's how the story goes. Rachel and Chloe are NOT just BFF, simple as that. The only choice you have is to make the romantic relationship subtle or obvious.

If you really wanted the choice with romance with a harasser you must be as sick as him

sorry but elliot is an supit sick ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

The only thing that Elliot did was to follow her. How is that "sick"? He wanted to protect her, but they turned that character into a creep. :|

Well, that's not what I call a choice. In the original game, you had the choice. With Warren and Chloe.

If you really think that's normal then you indeed are kind of sick. I would suggest to every woman in your life to stay away from you.

If you really want to be BFFs and kiss the creepy stalker boy, those are both legitimate options in the original LiS.

But seriously, I'm glad Deck Nine did what they did. Queer romance was a topic they decided to tackle head-on instead of skirting around it like DONTNOD did.

And calling out the creepy stalker boy has been something a lot of people have wanted to do since we got the NOPE feeling from Warren in season 1.

The characters talked in the hospital, Elliot knew that Chloe was in danger, Rachel just got stabbed but he is being sick? Seems like common sense to me. If someone you love is in danger and you just let him go... You do have a problem.

And when the person you "love" does not love you and asks you to leave her alone, the inability to comply makes you a stalker. You are NOT a police officer nor do you have the right to invade other people's privacy or freedom of mobility.

He was using violence, forcing Chloe to not get out of the house.

He wasn't really caring for her anyways. He only was butthurt that Chloe didn't want him.

Guys, that's what I'm saying. They could have done a romance with him, but they turned him to a creepy piece of ♥♥♥♥! :|

There isn't really any ambiguity, there is definetly romantic tension between Chloe and Amber (and why there shouldn't be?) . And Eliot was the guy who was friendzoned and couldn't handle it and crossed the line of " worrried friend" to "creepy stalker".Why would she kiss him ? there was nothing going on between them(at least from Chloes part), that was obvious from episode 1.

That was the point, I guess. Deck Nine wanted to tackle an issue that countless girls and women deal with every day. Giving people the opportunity to confront and stand up to a stalker is something that isn't often (if ever, I'm not sure) done in video games.

A simple romance subplot is meh. We've all seen a thousand of them, but this was something different and something much more rare and special to see.

I understand your disappointment in not being able to shape the relationship how you wanted, but I think it's helpful to look at the situation and judge it for what it is, rather than judging it based on what you wanted it to be. It is--and always was--a stalker subplot, and it's successful at what it tries to accomplish.

Yeah thing is if Chloe would a kissed Elliot for ANY reason at Jame's office then her character would NOT be as liked as she is in the LiS universe, why? Because Elliot is a stalker plain and simple and not only a stalker but he is boardering on being a stalker/predator the way he seemed to feel he had the right to order and push Chloe around.

I was hoping they would have given Chloe the option to kick him where it hurts...THAT would have served that scene a WHOLE lot better then any kiss would have.

This is what the developers intended. Stop crying about it and stop shoving your heterosexual agenda down our throats. Sorry but they can't cater completely to you or every fringe minority group with their own demands.
