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

But she didn't write any of it...?
Unbearably cute.
Xavier Moore
Working to summarize some of the main points from the stream. Not sure how much longer I can though. [So many cute moments both in game and in the discussion. This episode taught us a lot about Max and Chloe (which still felt believable to the original) and that's worth the price of admission. Even with the inconsistent and tragic ending the episode had.]
Yeah, that.
FOREVER!
>Wrong.
Oliver Myers
Before BtS Episode 3's release: >Devs: ''Intense episode is waiting for us.Be ready for it;);) There is a reason why we chose Tempest as major theme and you will find out;)'' >Don't worry, Deck9 won't disappoint us. They are better than Dontnod >I love you Zak. Thank god, finally a developer who understands us!! What did we do to deserve him guyssss >CLOUD 9!!! TELL ME WHATCHU REALLY LIKE... BE READY FOR MULTIPLE KISSESSS!! CLOUD 9 WOHOOOO >Sera is a witch. Ending is going to be awesome >We will see how Damon got killed >We will get our revenge from Skeevy guys too >We will see Skip's concert too. Rachel and Chloe will go there yeeeyy >All plot holes Dontnod left will all be answered. >Beanie Queen Steph will get hug and also we will have advice scene ;);) >They will not touch 3 years. They will keep their promises:) Unlimited happy endings are coming. 6 variations depending our choices with RACHEL HYPE CLOUD9
After BtS Episode 3's release: >Deck9's worse than Dontnod >Devs were bullshitting all along: Tempest? They forgot it. Poor Shakespeare is rolling in his grave right now >Zak went full retard >Nothing was cut:) >Girls went full nun-mode and was giving each other cheek kiss and 0.1 sec cuddle scene in bed -even with cloud 9 intimacy >Choices didn't matter >Pedo Frank >Frank pushes Damon out of screen. God knows how is he fucking dead >Rachel spent almost the whole episode in that hospital bed >Chloe was unconscious at the very intense moment >Sera magically untied herself >End choice didn't solve anything >William went full Fast and Furious flashbacks. >Even if Sera and Rachel reunite, Sera gtfos that town in one way or another >They added credits scene out of nowhere - Rachel's ded - Chloe's still suffering. Technically, they were bullshitting about not touching 3 years either
John Lee
>Max is sad. Say something nice to her.
Luis Cox
Alice loves her blueberry aunt.
Kevin Long
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"
Chloe loves you so much, Max. Don't be sad. She's never leaving you.
Xavier Hall
She's cute and she's my all-time favorite videogame protagonist and I'll always love her.
Easton Morales
That's very likely just a legal thing. She got a writing credit on BtS, so Deck Nine was legally obligated to credit her on this too. She probably isn't aware of any of the backlash against Farewell and wouldn't have any motivation to lie about it.
This
Bentley Gray
Chloe loves you Max don't need to be sad.
Leo Martin
>Ash played Marissa's mother on the answering machine Wow! Did not recognise her voice.
Dominic Nguyen
I didn't either
Gabriel Flores
it sounded like a whole other person I'm impressed
Carson Kelly
Max, you're not perfect. You don't have to be and you don't have to compete with anyone unless it's for a photo contest. You're awesome and Chloe loves you so much, your friends are lucky to have you. Watching you grow was inspirational and brought out the best in numerous people.
Bentley Lee
i will make her pregnant and she will be a happy mom!
Oliver Cook
Yes!
No!
Same. Ashly is a badass.
Nathaniel Powell
>Geez! This jawbreaker is going to last forever!
Dylan Campbell

James Jones
People are asking questions on twitch but I think they're only reading on Xbox site
Hunter Ross
>they chose "Don't tell her" Fucking dropped.
Jaxon Baker
She could be credited for literally anything else. Consultant, Advisor etc. A writer is a big role, and not a consolation prizes given away to everyone.
Nathan Martinez
Careful Chloe. Alice and Lisa are very impressionable young girls.
Ayden Gonzalez
Aww man. Hannah and Ash;y couldn't remember or didn't know the "Tell her" ending. The two hosts chose not to tell Chloe. I could never picture Max hiding that.
Logan Cooper
these fucking people
Bentley Watson
What an unbelievably great post.
They're probably *legally obligated* to credit her as a Writer.
Lincoln Reed
The guy said "we have a question from twitch" at one point.
Christian Bell
Guys, go back to your fanfics, okay?
Ethan Lopez
Hannah is almost crying, she cant keep it together
Ryder Butler
:c
Zachary James
"Probably". You can't say for sure. So until there's proof that they absolutely were legally obligated, everyone will continue shitting on trashly.
Sebastian Barnes
>everyone You're the only dipshit here with the insane hate boner for her. Just fuck off already.
Daniel Sullivan
Everyone = you, lonely shitposter
Andrew Thompson
As if it does matter. To retcon9, Chloe already knew Max was gonna leave.
Now I want to ask something to all of you; in an ending where you dont bring up thar you are gonna leave, despite Chloe knows you are gonna leave, why does she makes "let's go to the beach and watch it as my dad and my mom did. We can make our own little place" mode?
Her wanting to be denial this much made her angry later?
Elijah Allen
>Hannah's face when
Carter Clark
-Hannah tearing up and you can hear it. -Everyone complimenting her voice work as Max. -Ashly watching the credits and asking "Why am I a writer? I didn't write this." (I know this won't appease those looking to make Ashly out to be a villain, but that's what her own words were and I have no reason to doubt them.)
Gavin Ortiz
awh hannah :(
Asher Stewart
Burch: I definitely did not write this. Why am I the only writer? That's so strange. Zak is the director. I don't want to take credit for this. They should change that
Joshua Rodriguez
it doesn't change anything about retconned ending. it doesn't change the fact that Chloe already knew that she was gonna leave
in either way, it makes the whole situation,tape scene (considering previous games' infos) nonsense
Jace Wilson
>I know this won't appease those looking to make Ashly out to be a villain It won't. They shit on her because they love to shit on her because of her political views or whatever their fucked up reasons are. It's pretty pathetic imo.
>but that's what her own words were and I have no reason to doubt them. This. There's no reason for her to lie about it.
Ah fuck. I can't believe you've done this.
Alexander Young
wtf is wrong with deck9 lately, not only they poorly optimised this game; retconned the ending and now this...
these guys are working so messily. it is like they dont know wtf are they doing
David Scott
>Watching credits >Their legal consultant's name is Brian "Hawt Dawg Man" Finkelstein
-Ashly said from Episodes 3-5, she teared up every time she was in the recording booth
Sebastian Price
Reminder that Kate is for Jesus and Max only
Charles Williams
>Ah fuck. I can't believe you've done this Ah sorry :(( She basically had that face throughout the entire montage...
Wyatt Evans
-Question about what they each think about Rachel -Mic becomes unintelligible I have to laugh at that.
From what I can make out: Hannah says she's glad Rachel was a best friend for Chloe when Max could not be. Ashly says Rachel brought back Chloe's love of life, but that brought with it a dangerous quality.
Hudson Miller
fuck the quality is shit again
Blake Hernandez
Yeah it was super sad but also really shows how much Hannah cares about these characters.
Ayden Powell
>Ashly says Rachel brought back Chloe's love of life but that beougjt with it a dangerous quality Serious question, what did she mean by that?
Henry Phillips
Burch: How Chloe feels about Rachel, kind of encapsulates how love is at their age, this infatuation ykno, she's her whole world
Zachary King
Mic getting worse and worse. Both Hannah and Ashly said it's been a massive honor to work on the game and everyday they see messages and posts about how great they were and how the game has helped someone. -Question about pets: Ashly says Chloe would have a god, Hannah says Max would have a fish tank. They could have a cat (Bongo II), a dog, Lisa, and maybe a fish tank. And Mr. Sharkie and Horny. A very busy house.
Luis Davis
I hope D9 never touches LiS again.
Oliver Perry
>Inb4 D9 makes a prequel to S2 You read it here first folks.
Caleb Butler
Pretty good stream even if the quality was a bit iffy at times. Thanks to the anons who posted quotes from the stream in the thread for those of us who missed them or couldn't understand what was being said.
>Ashly says Chloe would have a god Top tier typo.
Sebastian Anderson
who are those ugly girls in the bottom right
Samuel Edwards
>-Question about pets: Ashly says Chloe would have a god kek what? a god? oh wait I think you mean a dog, okay :D
Chase Fisher
D9 makes a prequel to before the storm.
Jacob Hughes
They're from xbox. The beginning of the stream had their names and job titles but I don't remember off the top of my head. They were the ones actually playing the game.
>ugly Be nice!
Hunter Thomas
>Before-Before the Storm.
William Wood
Can you explain what Ashly meant?
Joseph Ward
...
William Cox
The credit clearly show she's not the only writer though. You see the 4 main people involved with the story right off the bat
Dylan Ward
End of the stream. Hope the little notes helped give those an idea who couldn't watch an idea of what was going on. It was so nice seeing Hannah and Ashly together, I hope it's not the last time even if it's not directly LiS-related.
Farewell represents the moment we see Chloe Price become the character we know, love, and feel slight annoyance with at times. We see how quickly her life fell out from under her and how she was already becoming the punk rock chick. But we also know how fucking strong she is. That even by the time BtS starts, she's already finding her own sources of joy even if they are short-lasting. She met Rachel at the perfect point in her life and even though that ultimately didn't end well, Rachel helped Chloe find herself again and gave her hope. That's something Chloe and Max will forever be thankful for.
I think she meant that Rachel gave Chloe something to focus on, but Chloe was so drawn in that she didn't realize just how crazy some of the things were getting. Even during those first days they knew each other a lot of crazy and dangerous shit happened. Remember that it's desperately searching for Rachel that eventually gets Chloe into a very bad spot and gets her killed...until Max is place in that moment to prevent it.
Jaxon Reed
>ashly burch >not qt I don't care what you think of her opinions, she's fucking cute
Samuel Kelly

Julian Morgan
Oh my dog! :D Yeah, you two are right. Chloe is going to get a dog (This was even evidenced from the unused lines between Joyce and Frank in the diner in Ep 5)
Xavier Campbell
She means Chloe disregards/does not see Rachel's flaws; she sees her just perfect fully and adores her, since Rachel became her whole world, she was her first love.
Liam Johnson
Thanks for transcribing the stream user
Ryan Miller
They said Max would get a fish
Daniel Taylor
She's very pretty.
Thanks for "liveposting" parts of the stream, user!

Caleb Stewart
Rachel was dangerous.
Nathan Parker
Chloe was just unconscious about she was getting in, how she was putting herself into danger etc. Because LOVE made her blind.
That's what love does that to you. If other person you are in love with has flaws, you disregard them and accept them no matter what. Love makes you crazy, yes.
Otherwise, Chloe already knew how destructive Rachel can be. But she ignored it because of her love
Lucas Powell
What a circus. I love it.
Jordan Jenkins
Chloe loved Rachel and so she didn't notice the flaws others may have. It was also because at some point, when Chloe did start getting ideas Rachel was up to things, Rachel dismissed her claims. Chloe couldn't fathom that Rachel would lie to her and so she accepted the answers. Being the one very bright spot and first love meant that Chloe did place Rachel on a high pedestal. And unfortunately Rachel never did anything to tell her not to, and so the only way Chloe learns the truth is in a very painful way.
Isaac Anderson
what is wrong with their eyes
Samuel Anderson
If you could cum inside one LiS/BtS girl consensually, who would you choose /lisg/?
Daniel Mitchell
Is there a way to watch a vod of the stream?
Parker Gomez
Chloe, all day every day. I love her.

They're so in love that they're a little bit high.
