[SPOILER] Right ending

[DuskinCZ]

I'm still thinking about my choice at the end of this last episode and it's really hard to tell which one is "better". I'd like to hear your arguments why you picked your choices.

I chose to keep the true from Rachel because all I wanted was to make her happy no matter the cost and the true would totally destroy her family life.

Knowing what happens to both her and Chloe anyway, and how much it seemed to mean to Rachel that she can trust Chloe, I picked truth.

Rachel still seemed pretty happy in the montage that happened after I made that choice.

[Bardewi]

I chose to hide the truth.
I think that after so much suffering, a little calm was necessary. And her own mother asks Chloe to hide the truth. I think it's the best, I do not know if it's right.

I told her the truth. It feels like a false ending, in a way, since Sera walked away without meeting Rachel. (I had assumed before I saw the player stats that she always walked away. HOW can you get her to stay?!) But if I had been able to get Sera to stay, then the ending would've felt more real.
I take less issue with the right/wrong ending than I do with all the questions left unanswered.

prolly one of the hardest moral choices in the story, something that was clearly the whole episode in the making. Ultimately, it boils to personal preference, I think, and there is no "right" ending. Do you believe that truth at all costs is always worth it? or that a lie sometimes leads to a better outcome? do you believe that the end justifies the means or that its all in the journey? You could debate stuff like that for a looong time. Personally, I choose the lie, as, with the benefit of the hindsight you know Rachel gonna die soon anyway, might aswell live her last in harmony with her father.

Truth, always the truth. You can't base your life in lies, even if its easier.

*sigh* Yeah, and it hurts thinking about it, that her fate is dead. So do you want her to live happily with her family? But she somehow ends up dating Frank behind Chloe's back and living life on that edge, anyway, and perhaps that fact makes the truth ending make more sense?

I think it's quite hard to know which one is the "legit" ending which is cool. Would you rather hurt yourself knowing the truth to prevent your lover any harm or would be frank even if they might end up hating you ?
Hiding it is the safe path, yet Rachel and Chloe still seemed to have a reason to leave the Bay in LiS 1, so the fact that Rachel learned the truth might be the reason why they still wanted to go aka the logic one. But both are great :)

I told Rachel the truth because I felt Rachel needed to be aware her dad was dangerous. While he would probably never hurt Rachel we don't know that for sure, so I felt she needed to be aware her dad was dangerous man willing to go to dangerous lengths. Plus what Mr. Amber did was WRONG. I mean, yes Sera was an addict in the past and he was worried about his family falling apart, but he was willing to destroy police evidence, interfere with justice, and pay off a dangerous man to kidnap and KILL her. Does he really deserve to get away with that? I'm sorry Rachel's family fell apart, but Mr. Amber did that himself the moment he hired someone to kidnap and kill someone. Plus you don’t get to do stuff like that and retreat back into your perfect little world—that’s not how that works.

I lied to her.

In the original game, Chloe has written on her bedroom wall, right where she'll see it every morning, "EVERYBODY LIES. NO EXCEPTIONS".

I figure she included herself in that when she wrote it...

Maybe, but maybe telling Rachel the truth can change her fate. (Probably not, but I'm hopeful.) Plus to me that line shows Chloe maybe regretted lying.

[Nightmare Piggy]

I told the truth. The only thing is a bit different from telling the lie. Still the same ending with different beginning.

[Nightmare Piggy]

Maybe because of "EVERYONE LIES. NO EXCEPTIONS" is cause of her telling the truth and for now on, she must tell the lies to protect someone she care about?

[Dishonored Ghost]

I told Rachel the truth. I felt that after all the lies that were told to her throughout her life, having the only person left that she claims to trust lie to her would be morally wrong. At first she was sad and obviously heartbroken after recieving this news, but after, with Chloe's help I felt like she got over it and was now happy again in the ending cutscenes :). I also felt like not lying to her gave their friendship more depth, and I was happy to see that. It really made them seem like the kind of friends that she described them as in the original Life Is Strange. All in all, for me: Hiding the truth, no matter what kind of pain it might cause would only cause Chloe prolonged guilt for not telling Rachel the truth, or even worse, Rachel finds out and has to talk to Chloe about it. As much as I wanted Rachel to be happy, the truth seemed like the right thing to tell her. As for me, I can't wait to see her reaction when she meets her mother, as I did not realize that was possible and am excited to figure out how to get that ending. :)

I'd agree, justice needs to be served, and maybe, just maybe after serving a couple years in prison for what he did. Maybe one day he could realized what wrong he did and they could reunite as a family again :)

Some people didn't play LiS 1 or watched the after credits scenes lol
