![]() With all the "sit down on a bench and ponder" moments and extensive journal entries in the game, you'd think that would come up. Chloe still seems really in love with Rachel, and if your Max does turn down Warren and kiss Chloe in Ep 3, I would've appreciated ANY internal Max monologue where she mentions having feelings for Chloe. I'm totally fine with the Max/Chloe pairing, and the tumblr fan art is cute and all, but the romantic pairing just appears kinda out of nowhere in Ep 5. It WAS obvious that they were giving you various options to either accept or rebuff Warren's advances (though if you turn down the Apes date but then later kiss him in Ep 5 then your Max is confusing as fuck), but I feel like the game didn't give Max enough nuanced opportunities to express romantic interest in Chloe. I agree that, as written, they play that scene off as a lark, and at the time it just wasn't apparent to me at all that the game was seriously giving me the choice to play Max as queer. I do wish that if you go with the Ep 3 choice where Max kisses Chloe, Max's dialogue was more along the lines of "Was I joking? ~*wink*~" I respect Dontnod for saying, you can be nice to Warren or not but you can't have the love story ending with him. And, I can respects that because why does the typical guys gets girl/girl gets guy scenario HAVE TO play out in every game. But, truthfully, I think Dontnod's intention was to make Max unready for Warren's attentions in this story. I wish at the end of the game if you choose Arcada over Chloe and if you kissed Warren - you could have held his hand at the funeral. I accepted all of Warrens advances, planned on the 'Going Ape' date, and kissed him at the end but it still felt like she was not into him. The game certainly makes it seems in Ep 1-2 that Max does not feel anything beyond friendship with Warren, and that sort of tone goes throughout the narrative because he acts like he is being treated like a third-wheel no matter what. But, EVEN if you fall over yourself to go out with Warren, there are still parts of the story where Max will be cool to him and where he will sense Max is not 'that into him'. If you rebuff Warren you get the strongest path towards kissing Chloe more than once. ![]() You can play it any way you want except for a super strong relationship with Warren. There is without a doubt a lot of people who wanted it to read Max and Chloe in a budding relationships were given enough hooks in teh story by developer to accommodated that.
