Gabe describing your future

[Dupmeister]

At the very end of the game you talk with Gabe on the roof top and he describes what your future would be like if you stayed in town. Though I could have sworn watching a play through where he describes what your life on the road would be like. Does anyone know what I have to choose to get this version of the ending?

If memory serves, you choose which ending you're planning to go for and Gabe tells you how the other one would go. It's been a while, so I could be wrong.

I am not sure. There do not seem to be a lot of options. when I get to the roof he simply tells me that I Should stay and I can agree or say "really?" both options get the same result and we get a brief cinematic of her life in Haven Springs.
Afterwards I can choose to stay or go and then I get a brief cut scene of Alex on stage if I choose to leave or a moment of her on the docks and then walking into town if she stays.

Maybe I was wrong, I just thought you got a more detailed preview of your life on the road before you pick.

He only narrates what happens when you stay, the other path is adventure and unknown like he said.

I always choose to stay. Leaving only makes sense if the townsfolk didn't believe you.

For me, the choice is really about Steph or Ryan - Ryan's whole life is in Haven Springs, so staying with/for him makes a lot of sense; Steph was only ever in Haven Springs as a place to heal, to leave Arcadia Bay and its lost friends and family behind and plan the next move, so going out into the world with her and having adventures feels more right.

For Alex herself, there are always going to be mixed feelings about Haven Springs - she has the opportunity to make a home there, but it's also the place where her father and brother died, and she nearly died too. It's the place where she learned to accept her powers, but it's not a place where she'll have a lot of use for them. It's the place where Ryan wants to stay, but Steph wants to leave.

My choice is for Alex and Steph to leave together, but my head-canon is that they come back to visit from time to time.

That is awesome.
