Before Episode 5's release:
>Lol Mari's theories're shitty.It's way more than shitty to become true
>Chloe has to die thing doesn't make sense.Don't worry they will come with unpredictable story
>We're gonna learn everything about Max's powers,Rachel and Prescotts even Nathan,spirit animals..
>Jefferson knows about Max's powers
>Nathan,Frank,David or Samuel's gonna save us
>Victoria's with Max,she'll save her
>(After seeing Cemetery scene from leaks) I'm sure it'll be Williams,Rachel's or Kate's grave.
>Rachel's the doe and Butterfly and probably we'll see her in Max's dream
>Blue Jay's Chloe

After Episode 5's release:
>Mari's shitty cliche theory became right
>We visited the SF art gallery for 3 seconds. FOR 3 DAMN SECONDS
>Jefferson became a silly bad guy from Disney
>David came to save us.He's a former-soldier but he can't even fight,just listens teenager's orders. Even he doesn't know she has some time travel powers.
>Victoria's with us in the dark room.Laying there and we can talk her or not.Just it.
>Nathan get killed,Victoria too
>Nathan knew something about the storm but they cut it.
>Warren explained Max's powers(!)(thanks warryn) We found out her power causes/related with Chaos Theory and storm.It's not like we didn't know or something.
>Storm is only coming for Bay because Chloe lives in there but Max's the one who keep changes the time
>Prescotts story erased.Nobody even mention their name.
>Rachel's story fucked too.She isn't or butterfly,bluejay just spiritualdoe
>Spirit animals thing died.Blue Butterfly's storm summoner just it.
>Chloe dies again in one of endings (unpredictable) It gives you a lesson: You shouldn't have used your power.And you shouldn't play this game.Now erase your choices and cry like a bitch.
>The other ending's short but it's less cliché than other.We saved Chloe,storm's hit the town and gone.That's it
>So, once again we got the fact that our ending always will be BAE>Bay

is before the storm worth playing? i liked the first life is strange

She's Max's #1.

Max really is absolutely adorable.
I'm glad I got to help protect her, help her mature, and help her be happy.

A cutest

As Max and Chloe are leaving the ruins of Arcadia Bay behind, there's one more tragic story unfolding
>Alice and Lisa stuck in Max's room, Alice hasn't eaten anything in days, the dorms are destroyed and no one comes looking for them
>"No one's gonna come save us, this is the end, we'll starve to death..."
>Alice...you can survive this and go back to your owner. All you have to do is... all you have to do is eat me."
>"What? No, fuck that. Lisa, you're my number one priority, I'm not eating you!"
>"Alice, think about it... how many times this week did you try to nibble my leafs? I'm a plant, Alice, you're a bunny, maybe it's time I accept my destiny... OUR destiny."
>"Lisa, I can't make this choice!"
>"No Alice, you're the only one who can"

>eat Lisa

>eat your own foot

She truly is, Mistress!

Go for it. It's got the same great atmosphere, familiar characters, new ones, and an interesting plot (Though not with any huge stakes)
The downsides are no power to mess with (You get Chloe's backtalk instead which is fun but only appears at scripted times), seemingly 'canon' choices where you lose content for not picking them, and the voice actors aren't as good in many cases.
Still, I say pick it up if you liked the first.

...

Where you can't say no to your qt bottle gf

These are the only info(s)&leaks about script I could gathered;

Rachel will be the influence that Chloe dyes her hair to the blue. They will do it when Rachel visited Chloe's home/room

Cringy guy's confrontation will most likely happen at junkyard or blackwell while hanging with Rachel. Remember depending your choices you could led him on (like saying no ;at start and intending to go play or not in ep2) then ditching him and forgot all about it. in ep1 you also could simply say maybe to his invitation and reply his hanging out after tempest with uncertain things responses or with maybe, or lie; you are gonna ditch the show or with truth ;that you will hang out with Rachel etc. Choices are there because these will also trigger his anger and change some dialogues

That ep3 teaser, latter scene, which was involved with Rachel's having trouble and Damon's threatening her (also kinda about Drew and Mikey situation) after phoneconversation;Chloe's concern about it. Earlier confrontation scene(cringy eliot) I am talking about first confrontation scene;which they may be change things and it may happen in blackwell either. But it will happen just right the time when Rachel and Chloe together.

Advice scene with Steph (and cute conversation, moment) is really coming this time btw. More details is in my other post

About Kiss scene: If you did earlier that action or got enough intimacy thing, it'll happen automatically,but if you did it'll get more intense.

++
They will confirm that Rachel's mom is really related with supernatural shit. Which I will explain on my next post

++++
I will explain why did they cut *something* in Dream sequence in my later post.

Post someone in LiS more cuter, I'll wait

>The brides may now kiss each other
youtube.com/watch?v=tq-TU7x5Sm8

Hey

YIKES

++++++
Sera will want to escape with her daughter (for some reason that will make you shocked) . Chloe will be given option to let Rachel go with her mom, or she would want to keep her to herself (yeah whatever you saw that slate was true) However this won't affect course of events because like I said there will be another major thing happen. And don't worry nothing will seperate Rachel and Chloe in these 3 days and their relationship WON't GET DESTROYED

Sera's wanting to take Rachel away is obviously not related with gtfo that town with a car.. everything is related with supernatural stuff on there.And you will find out why Sera never gets mentioned. Also I am repeating this again; it won't damage Rachel and Chloe's relationship and one way or another you will get chill/happy endingg . There will be "feels" at the end yeah, but Chloe and Rachel will get their happy conclusion; this means any drama won't happen between them/they won't seperate. And if you went full romantic you will get your reward anyway. Like we said, there are two conclusions yet 6 variations; story will take you where it will want to go
Something big will get revealed during Damon'a confrontation and when you saw Sera..

++ About this hot scene...
Depending on your intimacy counter you will encounter witn flirty/romantic/lovey dovey dialogues throughout whole game -even some actions will happen during in panic moments- y'know that, at the ending there will be romantic moment between them. Lots of things will be going on. Now speaking of this "hot" scene, it will be on.. house.Ps. Don't expect exposed "spaghetti is the warmest food" scene

American Rust- the best place to regain your best friend's trust
Max & Chloe have some very amazing moments of healing/bonding there in Episode 2.
>My powers might not last forever, Chloe.
>That's okay. We will. Forever.

They deserve nothing but happiness together.

Whoever mentions AU in this thread gets shot by Rachel, Chloe AND Max.

You just mentioned it.

I would use many words to describe Rachel but cute is not one of them.
Max is cute and slightly mousy. Rachel is attractive and seductive.
Their looks are as different as their personalities and Chloe was drawn to them for their own merits.

I like this AU where they became Charlie's Angels

True, true, Rachel's a Greek Goddess Max is a forest fairy. They each have their own domains and their own strengths and weaknesses that make them wonderful in their own way,

Rachel can be both cute and seductive.

If you are intrigued about our scene with Steph here ya go, I got new and precise detail on there:

It's been already mentioned that Steph will have major role in this episode and yeah she will, but it is not like she will be villain or anything; she will help us 'coming out'. Steph will reveal that Chloe's being 100% into chicks they will talk about it and that moment Chloe will admit it openly; without using any subtle sentence; they will also talk about her -chloe's- "love" for Rachel. Depending on your choices Chloe will be more flustered while talking/and may even be insecure about Rachel's feelings for her (this will happen if your intimacy is lower) Ah now, I know that someone will mention that stuff in Chloe's outdated wallet from first game; I also asked anonymously messaged game dev about it to confirm it, like I really insisted that I wanna find out; and you guys were right, devs put it to imply that past phase, it stopped after Rachel. This is why they put that certain dialogue in there. So yes, Chloe's 100% into chicks only and this game/steph will confirm it.
so whew. Finally we will get rid of this non-sense sexuality arguments.
++
Another good news for Steph fans
Yes, Steph will get BIGBIGCHLOBEAR hug, as she deserved :)

I want more hand holding in ep3

Are you going to watch, user?

*Chloe's angels

Let's talk about these "cut" scenes in earlier episode 1 & episode 2 built.

-About Taylor thing: Weirdly enough, this girl was gonna be a lickspittle of Chloe and even in game files, there were implications that this girl was kinda hitting on Chloe too. Tries to talk with her constantly even Chloe wasn't hanging out at those times etc. The reason why they cut her from game though, to avoid these inconsistency arguments.

-About cut Neighbour scene (with truck) : I guess with this info, I will drop a bomb here heh... Anyway, I have already mentioned you that Chloe's truck was gonna be fixed in earlier events. Rather than "walking" to Rachel's house, they were gonna go there with Chloe's truck and whole conversation (yes damn, even kiss scene) was gonna happen there; with Chloe's truck/ under the lights. When Rachel got into her house they were gonna get busted again and forced to being in diner. The reason why they cut this is obviously add the latter chapter more screentime for developing truck. In a panic moment

-Remember, before episode 1 released I have already told you that Steph was gonna be into girls and "could" be into Chloe. During development, devs changed it; rather than being friendzoned figure to Chloe; they put her there as "sister material" for Chloe. And even if she seems into Rachel she is not rival and actually her existence triggers romance between Rachel and Chloe, she there to help Chloe, this is why she supports her no matter what.

Meow

Still the unsurpassed greatest LiS video.

-As you all know THEY CUT selling weed to drama kids (and prior to this confrontation with skeevy guys to leave more stuff for future chapter).. we were also gonna have same interaction with cringy guy in tempest backstage with other npcs instead of parking lot. Later, they decided to put that cringy guy to the parking lot but context didn't change. They also cut Steph's being at tempest (advice scene was gonna happen there). We were gonna see Mikey and Drew's dad at backstage and depending on our choices earlier we could have "not nice" conversation with him.

-Throwing David's car from the cliff was also a real thing, as Zak confirmed. But it was gonna create an inconsistency, they changed this idea immediately.

But Chloe is one of the angels???? Doesnt make sense

Should be interesting. Michel, Divine and Luc are at the end of the stream.

>Hannah telle
Absolutely.
Interested to see Michel's opinion about BtS too.

>Should be interesting. Michel, Divine and Luc are at the end of the stream.
inb4 they get into disagreement over canon and the general goes nuts

Boy I sure am glad that within the sea of universes there are ones where these three got to hang out and get into cute shenanigans together.
I hope Square will show us one such universe one day when they start milking the series more.

>katy bentz's face

Extra stuff about Episode 3 and why did they cut *that part* in dream sequence? :

As I told you before, that thing Max's physically appearence in dream sequence may be or may not be released. They chose to cut it because their original intention was gonna either making her talk or either seeing her *physically* -which was they were gonna go with. Though, they found this unnecessary and kept that character's presence for future episode. Ah, but it's not like you won't feel that character's presence in nightmare still. You just don't see her physically and while talking.

About scene labelization; remember I mentioned about some rumours and some user's assumption about we are gonna start the game at Amber's house, I told him it was pretty much hitting nail on the head. I also my source also saying the same thing with betatester so. yes, it's certainly confirmed that Rachel and Chloe will spend the night together and you can expect some coughhotromanticcough moments in there too

Best part about that image is how accurate it is to all of their personalities.

this is the user with the beta tester friend, while i trust them don't shoot the messenger if it's not exact
That eliot confrontation that other person was talking about is true, they said it may happen in the junkyard and thats right, in fact thats actually where the ep 3 promo pic comes from (where rachel looks defensive and chloe looks scared) rachel will defend chloe during eliot's creepiness as previously stated
Chloe is gonna visit drew/mikey in the hospital depending on your choices you will get more info about damon here but also the highly anticipated Steph conversation we thought was gonna be in episode 2
rachel's gonna get into some trouble with sera and damon (hence the ep 3 teaser) which prompts chloe to freak out and go after her.
toward the middle/end of the ep rachel suggests chloe dyes her hair, they go to her house and do it (depending on choices this might be a romance thing) i know this might seem weird considering chloe just thought rachel was kidnapped or something im try to get more info on the exact
there will be some big shock moment that you won't see coming toward the ep with Sera
yes there will be a kiss
also info leaker mentioned the steph scene i just found out about too already! i think you guys are gonna like it...
alot of people are asking if there will be more rachel and chloe scenes/a happy ending...a hard yes to both ;)
it will also be explained why sera is connected to ONLY frank in james' files
yes, rachel will go see chloe's house (its where they dye her hair)

max will NOT be in dream, in an early build she was but not now
the ep starts off...in Rachel's house talking about sera, like many people suspected
you are going to see rachel's room ;)
there will be about 6 variations of the ending (may vary) alot determined on your relationship with rachel

Imagine if they did the stream after EP3 had been released

That's quite the line up, I'm looking forward to it

Lmao I know right. It's one of my faves.

What kind of archaic weapon would your favorite LiS character wield?
I have a feeling Chloe would like a hand-and-a-half sword.

It's all line for line from "Over the Garden Wall"
youtu.be/uIO4ZaNjqWk

>Chloe
>wielding anything heavier than a letter opener

Arcadia Bay Police

>pic related

...

Max is a cute!

well that was amazingly fitting then

This is going to end in cuddling and strapon anal sex isn't it?

God damn max is cute
Would she and Rachel actually get along or would they just hang out for Chloes sake?
I dunno if Rachel would actually like Max that much but she would never question why Chloe is friends with her

Poor Max. Rachel will have to give her lots of buttsex later to make her feel orgasms later.

Maybe

>michel the mystic tells them that one of them will cheat on the other with two guys and then get killed by an art teacher
>they both laugh him off thinking he's some crazy guy

>michel the mystic
Pretty amusing.

With the way Chloe is dressed, is Max visiting a club where Rachel and Chloe are working?

>pic is Max and Rachel hanging alone for the first time ever because Chloe had to work a last minute shift at Two Whales
Hopefully they get along and it's not too awkward!

user, no. Rachel is a classy girl.
Petplay and bondage.

Chloe talked Max into a night out with her and Rachel. Max, the eternal cute dork she is, wore a sweater and tshirt like always. Only Rachel convincing the bouncer even got Max into the club to begin with

sub Max?

it's actually fanart from Love Is Strange I'm pretty sure

No, Chloe. It's a joint effort.

Amberpricefield is the /ascended/ ship
Dunno. Mollifiable did a lot of fanfic commissions I think so it wouldn't surprise me

No, that's Molli's work.

No, more like Max has no idea what to wear to a club party

>Chloe had to work a last minute shift at Two Whales
I kind of like Chloe working at the Two Whales diner. Not for ever like Joyce but at least for a few years. Realistically it would have been a better way to spend the three years she was NEET instead of bumming around and wishing she was out of Arcadia Bay,

I know, but still fanart from that VN.

They slowly groom Max into a switch.

Somehow I can completely see Max thinking it would be appropriate to wear sweater and t-shirt to a night out in the club, especially if she lived away from her parents.

That just makes me like her more, though, she's the adorable dork that both Rachel and Chloe love.

Chloe is the hottest. Max is cute. Rachel's weird looking.

Plus she's look hot in the outfit

It would be probably awkward at first but I'm sure they'd be like family eventually

Is Max Like their child or something here?

She actually looks like she wants to murder everyone here.

No it's some poly shit

>Three of them hanging out
>Rachel on a date from Chloe starts giving max a lap dance
Muh fukkin dick

it's another fanart from Love Is Strange but Max being Chloe and Rachel's daughter is cute as fuck

Well maybe don't cheap out on her tip then

Absolutely. Max is practically a child by experience anyway. Someone needs to keep her nervous ass from getting eaten by the wolves.

>customer service
>Not wanting to kill everyone in the room and then yourself

That would expose class differences between Rachel and Chloe, though, when Rachel would get more money from her parents as allowance than Chloe earned working for 8 hours a day at the diner.

That's the reason you don't want too big of a class difference in a relationship, it makes things awkward.

who are the wolves?

Pls don't bully Max
She didn't have real friends in Seattle and her reserved nature makes it hard for her to fit in plus she has very low opinion of her physical traits

Victoria
Probably Nathan before he starts crying when Warren decks him and Chloe holds him down so Rachel can kick him in the ribs.
I can't stop bullies from bullying at all hours, I can only protect the victims.

Chloe would be perfect as a barrista.

Somehow I don't think any of them would care.

Yeah, I think Chloe's right that Rachel could have loved Max probably as much as she loved Chloe, Max and Chloe are very similar in some respects. Max is also above the bullshit, she doesn't lie or manipulate and is "real" but unlike the bad girl problem child Chloe she's sweet and innocent. And she's even as intensely loyal as Chloe.

>Max
>doesn't lie or manipulate

Chloe would spit into people's drinks so I'm not so sure about that.
>Probably Nathan before he starts crying when Warren decks him and Chloe holds him down so Rachel can kick him in the ribs.
Ouch.
But yeah, woah, Max would be so lucky to have Rachel on her side, Vicky would never bully her anymore.

Most people care about money. There was that research that someone making 50k$/year but surrounded by people making 25k$/year is happier than someone making 100k$/year but surrounded by people making 200k$/year.

And relationship where partners have significantly different financial means are as difficult or harder to maintain as relationships with significant age difference or of different races.
