I feel like I just watched a whole movie
I think that's a neat concept. I don't see whats so bad about her though, just because you would have done something different doesn't make the character badly written
Anonymousno what makes her badly written is that shes supposed to be the main emotional investment but her recklesness and impulsiveness does not endear the player too her. it makes saving her a chore and gets tiresome because its her own fault that she puts herself in these situations. she is a burden throughout the game with no redeeming qualities
How would you have written chloe if you had the chance to change her character entirely? Just wanna know what ideas you had or what it is specifically that you were looking for in her character
Anonymousif i wrote her id make her less reckless but make the universe go out of its way to kill her by other means. kind of final destination style that way its not like she has a death wish.
i will never forgive life is strange for making the most unlikable character and then acting like its a difficult moral choice on whether or not to save her or literally everyone else (despite the storm being mentioned before the time travel powers are even unlocked)
life is strange had such a good concept. time traveling lesbian with butterfly effect rules? thats such a good premise. and then they ruined it by making the main motivation of the game being an unlikable selfish bitch of a lemming who keeps dying due to her own stupid choices. like… was it so hard to make her a likeable person being stalked by final destination style deaths by coincidence rather than someone who actively seeks situations that will kill her? the only one i do not attribute to her own incompetence is the car accident she gets into after you go back in time to save her father.
theres good ways to write people who are assholes because theyre coping with traumas (toph beifong and gregg lee come to mind) but this one just isnt it. the main thing about asshole characters is that if theyre not charming in some way theres not any investment to be had in them. because the game has done nothing to endear her to me that means the final choice to save her or the town (despite the storm being alluded too before the first time travel happens but thats a whole different can of worms) the final choice is easy. however it DOES make literally everything thats happened in the game completely pointless. and thats pretty much a summery of the whole game. you hang out with a bitch of a lemming and then undo everything making the experience feel like wasted time.
the biggest disappointment in the game is that it had the potential to be great if only its main supporting character was better written
