Saddest thing in sacrificing Chloe is what she believes. Think about it. She never met Max, so she still believed Max never cared about her. Right before she dies , Nathan says to her that no one likes her and no one will remember her. She dies believing that because she has no past memories of Max, she dies all alone, still emotionally depressed and unhappy. How sad is that.
Unbreakable Patches Yeah, but she had suffered a lot for no reason. She either had her father dead, or ended up a paralyzed cripple. A lot of people turn bad when the world shits all over them. And she still was ready to sacrifice her life for a town of people who hated her.
Unbreakable Patches Oh, screw you. Chloe was Max’s best friend. She should be saved. The reason she was a “bitch” was because she had problems. In 3 months, her cat and dad died, Max moved away, her mom was messed up and dating David, she was expelled, and Rachel went missing.
@Unbreakable Patches maybe because different people have different ways of coping. Batman was super rich and Spiderman has superpowers. What chloe has is just her mom and her best friend who left. Then in the next few years she met Rachel and it would be better but when she's gone she felt like her world is already burning and why not be a Bitch about it. Because you know the consequences doesn't mean you'll be immune to them in the future.
Okay this is gonna sound stupid but, I always feel really happy to know I'm apart of a community like this. It feels nice to be accepted in a random community of people like me. ;-;
I feel like internet voting is a little different than actual choices because people can lie. From an ethical viewpoint, saving the town would be better, so people are more likely to feel like they should. Of course, emotions do have a strong impact on the decisions we make. That’s probably why the split in the game is about half and half. However, when voting on an online poll, you’re not really making that decision (not completely anyway). So it’s easier to convince ourselves that we would make the ethical choice. (The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.) I feel like this might of had an impact on your results being so different.
Y'know I made a long bitchy comment trying to say something similar but you put it a lot better. I feel like the video kind of praises the majority of his community for no reason with faulty evidence.
What do you mean your not making the decision in the poll? You've already made the decision that you would or would not kill her in that poll, plus most of them probably already played the game and already did it. I haven't played it, but if I did, I would kill Chloe, hell I would have left her for dead the third time she died.
I actually did exactly that! lmao, i even went as far as keeping Rachel alive and pairing her as a love interest to Steph, “Amberich” for life b*tch! 😝
MatPat: I remember when the most intense thing in a video game was hitting your friend with a red shell right before they crossed the finish line Me: I failed to see your point, both results in your friend dying
Uhmmmmm, hey MatPat, the MBTI is not correct bacause it is insanely inconsistent with the result. It is not just supported by my experience but also scientists and psycologist out there. The MBTI are just pseudoscience to be correct. So your theory is definitly debunk. And if you say that I'm salty, no. I actually enjoy your content but wrong is wrong. However, I'm definitly not the kind of people that you potrayed as "doubting wario" and I don't take these thing seriously.
I saved Chloe not because I felt that that was the morally right decision, it obviously isn't. I saved her because the town itself was "final destinationed" in my view, Chloe was a symptom of the town's doom, not the cause. We first saw the tornado BEFORE saving Chloe, so it's clear that Chloe's avoidance of death didn't cause it. The messed up people living in that town were bringing a vortex of destruction around themselves, it wasn't Max or Chloe's fault. Further I thought that the tornado was Rachel Amber, or a force directed by her (rightfully) vengeful spirit. My view was that Rachel, as a ghost, gave Max the time-powers she has so that she could save Chloe and allow Rachel to destroy the town without hurting Chloe (after-all, Chloe was one of the few people to love Rachel and not abuse her). Also the “tornado = Rachel” theory explains that message where Rachel texted Chloe “see you real soon”, even though in none of the outcomes does Chloe die.
Honestly I saw a theme in Life is Strange S1. As the player we see Chloe as a clingy person, not being able to move on from her past, especially her loved ones. But by the end of the game I realized it was us, the player who could not move on. We literally have a time traveling ability, whenever we make one small mistake we can just go back and fix it. By the end of the game we finally move on by making a final choice, by one final time jump, if you choose to sacrifice chloe.
In "Call of Cthulhu" video game you can drink a glass of whiskey in your office at the very beginning of the game. After that It says something like "You've altered your destiny" :P.
@@bread2609 just like letting the bird into the house. the bird dies, like all those other birds, but choosing to let it live, the consequences are letting something else die. not the simple bird, but something else. its not specified what, but you are killing something else in saving that bird.
@wxtcher Actually, there is a result. It's a small one, but still.....spoiler warning. I assumed it would hurt your mom's feelings or something if you let it die since she's the one who texted you to remind you. However, if you let the plant die, you can actually look outside and see Warren looking through your window like a creep. Letting the plant grow prevents him from doing so.
Why does the Myers-Briggs test send me to the wiki page of Koalas? Do they test my personality? Am I being watched by Koalas? Do they secretly rule the world?
I’m... genuinely unsure if you are trying to invoke the Chloe Koala meme from the livestream, of if you are genuinely being redirected incorrectly. That is worrying.
This was made five years ago and Ranboo just did a stream of life is strange and now this is coming towards my for you page after all these years of me subscribe to game theory really 🤣✋🏻
I’m a turbulent INFP and I seriously thought that every other INFP was going to save Chloe. I was kinda surprised but I guess to me, these kinda choices are a straight tunnel that always leads to the well-being of my loved ones.
+zeek and to explain this, .11111 (repeating) is 1/9, and this works with all numbers. except what about .999? if you do the trick, it'll be 9/9 Which is 1.
I wouldn't. That girl is way too much of a tumblr post for me, not only that, but she shot herself by accident. that's just so dumb that she doesn't even deserve to live.
I decided to save Chloe and I don’t regret it. I felt like the characters had gone through such a hard time that Max deserved to be selfish for the first time in her life. I also just couldn’t see Mac moving on in life, being the only one who knows all this happened and not even being able to talk to a therapist about it cos they’d think she’s crazy or high. Just having to live with the knowledge that I could have saved my best friend and no one will ever know would be impossible
Also, it’s good to see the old MatPat again, this was certainly during his prime. I feel he’s gone a bit too overboard recently and let his subs get to his head, thinking he can say anything then prove it, rather than look at data then figure something out from it
This game wasn’t just a game for me. It was a whole experience. No matter the ending, I start sobbing. This game has ruined my life in the most amazing, beautiful way. But I always save Chloe because I love her character so much. You also have to think about how if you choose to sacrifice Chloe, she wouldn’t have seen Max again. Chloe wouldn’t have had that week with Max. She technically, would’ve died alone. Her father died, she would have never known what had happened to Rachel. Max would be the only one who had these memories. I just personally can’t let Chloe go.
Rachel was the storm notice that scream where she caused the forest fire she randomly got powers just like max or maybe she gave max powers btw the devs said the deer was Rachel ghost
@@lwtracker8157 I think Rachel's spirit is divided by two: The tornado which is part of her power and the deer which is actually her spirit. Also, Max's T-shirt has a deer on it. In Before The Storm, Chloe told Rachel that she used to have a best friend named Max who moved to town and Rachel must searching for Max and wants to guide her to save Chloe by sharing her power. The decision is in Max's hand. If she sacrificed Chloe that means Chloe will join Rachel in afterlife and if she sacrificed Arcadia Bay that means Rachel felt that Chloe found her real best friend, Max and she showed her anger towards the town who abandoned her since she has a messed up life herself.
I sacrificed Chloe, because I did what Chloe told me to do. Chloe asked me to save her mom, because “she doesn’t deserve to die in a diner”, and that no matter how many times I saved her, she would keep dying. Plus, let’s be real, the ending where you sacrifice Chloe, clearly had far more effort put into it, than the one where you just drove off into the sunset.
It is, as a matter of fact the storm was directly in front of the diner. Although i don't think EVERYONE died it's implied by the creators that the whole town was wiped.
i gained an emotional attachment to Chloe as i related to her on a few different levels, i would never sacrifice Chloe to save a town she always wanted to escape.
Ok I know this video is irrelevant but I still want to say this. 1. Sacrificing Chloe wouldn't save Arcadia Bay. The twister came into existence because Max was messing with the timelines. Going back in time and sacrificing Chloe doesn't reset everything, it just adds another fold in the fabric of time. Conciser this. When Max went back in time to save Chloe's dad, you discovered the mass amounts of beached whales. If going back in time would have fixed the weird events happening (the whales, the eclipse, the tornado, etc.), then there wouldn't be any whales. 2. Ok, so let's say that going back in time DOES stop the tornado. You still could have saved Chloe back in the school. In episode 1 you saved Chloe by setting off the fire alarm with a hammer. Since you keep all of the memories of your time travels, going back in time or not, you have the knowledge of the past. With this knowledge, you would know that there was a hammer on the ground in the bathroom. You could use that hammer and set off the fire alarm in enough to save Chloe without your powers. Saving your friend doesn't cause crazy events like a massive tornado, messing with the fabric of time does. So all in all, Arcadia Bay is screwed, and Chloe always has a chance of survival. But hey, that's just a theory, A GAME THEORY! THANKS FOR READING!
But when Max first discovered her powers is in that bathroom scene when she tried to stop Chloe from being shot but instead traveled back in time. If you try to save her it would trigger Max's powers to come out, causing the beached whales, tornado, etc.
I still maintain the numbers would've tipped even more if this were a real life scenario. There are plenty of players who don't get an emotional connection from Chloe. I barely did. But, were it real life and it was their real best friend, I think A LOT of people's answers, including the "Mediators'" would change.
Agree to that! I always felt that the friendship between them were kinda toxic and both, max and chloe did lack of character improvement. I mean, whose best friend would still want you to rewind time, even after you did start bleeding and hurting and got knocked out? Who blames their best friend for awnsering her phone? And why do they never talk about something else than maxs power oder chloes emotions? As a 13 year old, i would have felt that this toxic friendship is normal, but as i played life is strange with 21, i have a different view to it. I think it would have been really good to know at what age the people where when they had to make the decision. However, i still fit into the enfp type and chose the bay
@@BlackCrystal4You Hey, let's not sugarcoat it. The relationship is most definitely toxic. Chloe is an awful person presented as this best friend you're supposed to like and sympathize with, this is where Dontnod absolutely failed. People that chose to sacrifice the town really need to reevaluate their morals.
@@BlackCrystal4You I'm enfp and ive done more than just one 16personality [which is a terrible test and u should look into cog functions] and I still chose the bay to save!
I saved Chloe for 2 reasons. The first reason is that I just loved her character throughout the game and also loved the bond between Chloe and max. The second reason is if you kill Chloe then max is the only one who knows about what had happened and will have to keep her powers to herself and have no one to talk to and I just couldn’t do that to max.
matpat i'm ISTP and i like this show because i find these theories interesting i know they could be wrong but your funny and i like personality and i would sacrifice chloe
INFP-T 89% Introverted 83% Intuitive 83% Feeling 53% Prospecting 80% Turbulent O wow just a few years ago i was extroverted... good job middle school clap and a half..
Personality doesn't suddenly change. If you research and understand jungs functions then you understand how it works. If you are forced to act a certain way then you will act that way but as soon as you have free will over who you are, you will go right back to your personality.
just so you know, 16 personalities isn't actually MBTI, it utilizes the big five and ignores cognitive functions. I recommend truity for anyone wanting to find their MBTI type
I don’t want to be that guy, but the almost 50/50 ratio at that last decision is most probably because a lot of people replay the game just to see the “other ending”. It is not an accurate data.
+TMLCJLK I also think that the disparity comes from the possibility that those taking his test didn't play the game therefore didn't have the same emotional connection as those that did. It is easier to say you will kill your friend until you actually have to do it.
I think something that is missing from your equation is : At the end of the day we all knew it was a game still. That was the actual reality. They are video game characters. Chloe meant something to Max, not necessarily something to us the player. If we were legitimately given the choice to choose between our own loved one vs our hometown, the outcome might actually be different because at that point we actually have that bond with our loved one as opposed to a "synthetic" bond to Chloe via Max in a virtual world. Food for thought, I guess.
So most of us here (including me) are "Mediators" yet according to 16personalities they only make up 4% of the population... So we're a majority here yet an exceedingly small minority on average. I just thought that was kind of interesting.
The fact that you used a personality test that has no basis in actual psychology and/or sociology is astounding. The only real legitimacy this test has is that it is loosely based on the work of Carl Jung. You also make a coloration between the percentages of S's and N's and the percentages of the final chose in the game. What you fail to see is that the coloration of the percentages doesn't reflect the choices of the theorists. Just because roughly 70% of theorists are N's doesn't mean all N's picked the choice of killing Chloe because the percentages were the same and vise versa. If 70% of the worlds population likes ice cream dose that mean all green eyed people like ice cream if the world population is made up of 70% green eyed people?(percentages not accurate representation of world population)
did you consider though that by turning back time you allow all of the criminals of the town to live and because of that kate would most likely die?if the towns goes,everyone goes but if you go back in timethe criminals will survive and the good people will most likely suffer and get killed by them anyways.so the only guys benefiting are the bad guysAlso think abouth how Max would feel,stuck in a timeline in wich he knows that bad things are going to happen but she can't stop them.for example she would know about her teacher being a killer bad she would still have to attend his class unable to do anything about it.
In my playthrough, I saved and helped a lot of people, and made a lot of friends. So while the Prescott's, and Jefferson, and whatever twisted stuff was going on in Arcadia Bay was happening, there were reasons why I would save it. I went through the final chapter 3 times. With heavy heart, I sacrificed Arcadia Bay. But I felt an enormous tug of guilt, because of Warren and Alyssa and Joyce and even Victoria, among others. I restarted the final moment, and let Chloe get shot. This one hurt way more, and I did actually cry from it. I didn't feel wrong, though. It felt like the right thing to do. But I did say I went through it 3 times. After experiencing both outcomes and understanding how I felt about both, I still went back and saved Chloe. Inf/tj, If you were wondering.
Well looks like Victoria and stepdouche survived, but honestly it would have been a harder choice if any other character seemed like a real person. Only Chloe and Kate seem real, everyone else is just two dimensional.
I picked to save Arcadia Bay straight up at first, then try to replay that final part, and chose to save Chloe instead, and no regrets, I'm happy that the best friend that i had tried to save SO many times is still alive. But maybe Chloe will be dead killed in sometime future idk, cause the pattern of her being killed so many times to stop her living. Idk, idk, idk, ppl. (ENFP-T, that's mine lol)
I chose to save Chloe solely for Joyce. Honestly I didn’t care much for Chloe but Joyce already lost her husband- having your own child die is so so much worse. I know that Joyce would have rather died than live in a world without Chloe
I have to say, I have a massive emotional ride when I'm sacrificing Chloe, which is why I think the game was really epic, because it ends that way, it ends with Max as the "Everyday Hero". On the contrary, I felt really bad when I sacrifice the bay, I saw Warren's dead body in front of his flipped out new car. Good people dies dude, if you saved Kate, then Kate died too, your engcouragement for her were for nothing. If you succeeded to be friend with Victoria, Victoria died too. Chloe's mom died too, David died, Frank died, everyone died because of one best friend who even determined to sacrifice herself to save many. I know that if I choose to sacrifice her, the time will rewind and Max is the only one to remember all of it, people who strengthen their bonds with her will forget about what she've done to them, but I also realized that by that time, Max also learned about everyone she ever bonded with, she learned how to fit it in with everyone, even with Victoria, so she won't be coming back empty handed, she brings knowledge and experience along with her to rebuild her bonds with everyone, so the chance of her being alone after Chloe died will be really low. I'm having difficulty on pressing the button to choose "sacrifice chloe", I have to sit and collect myself for a while before pressing it, because the game decided to be a douchebag and show me all the memories with her, that makes it harder to press that one button, but it had to be done, and I'm satisfied.
Just a little reminder: Everyone dies sometimes. Either old, disease, accident, murder. Eventually those people were gonna die. There is no way to know if the tornado was going to happens anyway. Also millions of people die in an unaltered reality. Therefor Save Chole and Sacrifice Arcadia Bay. Maybe is just me but when I play these games i tend to be very inmersive and tend to look at the future of relationships. Chole and Max married, adopted a kid, happy until dawn Vs Max traumatized for life, single surrounded by lots of cats for ever in a madhouse.
Alright, first of all, this is just a discussion yes?, no heart feeling, I respect your choice. :) And noted that I'm quite sure that Max's personality depends on each player's personality as well, so we actually decide her personality. Well yeah, people dies, including Chloe, and it's not 'sometimes' I suppose, eeverytime, and like MatPat said, if Max wasn't there to save her, she will die every time she did certain things. But the fact is that the one who causes that storm is Max, it means she's responsible for all those deaths, so this is not about just a regular deaths, but a massacre by a single person. I don't see the actual fact that Max is an isolated person, actually, because other than Victoria's gang, she's a good friend for everyone, yes she have an introvert trait, but it doesn't mean she don't have any friends, because I see that she's a good person who wants to help everyone, of course this is my version of Max, so I don't see Max as a traumatized person after Chloe's death, and there's a low possibility for her to be single because I choose to respond Warren's feeling for her positively, and I choose not to kiss Chloe which makes their bonds stops at just a "best friend" (since I'm against lesbian relationship). As I was saying earlier, Max carries knowledge and experience from the whole Chloe tragedy, from that knowledge and experience she can actually change her own social life into a better one, so she won't go back from there empty handed. I realized that in both ending, Max always smiles at the last second, this shows that she think she did the right thing and convince the player that they did the right thing, so I think no player will regret their decision, wether it's Sacrificing the Bay, or Chloe. That's my argument. :)
Same as you. It was difficult, but I decided that I would sacrifice Chloe. I know, yes, all people die, but it wasn't the moment for them, a lot of them were young, had a lot of future. But for me, it was worse to see a bunch of people dying because of a choice I made than watch a person die because of me. Both are hard, but I prefer to make the "right" choice than being selfish and just think about what I would like. For me, again, the right choice was to sacrifice Chloe, not being selfish and let people life like they deserve.
I'm an INTP(-T) but I chose to save Chloe on the first playthrough. Why? Easy. This woman was a pain to keep alive. I don't work that hard for nothing. (Also I don't care about arcadia bay). If she kept dying after the tornado then Max could have still gone back in time and killed Chloe. Better not kill the person that you held alive for so long without being 100% sure that it's the best for yourself.
As an INTP, I agree with you and sacrificed Chloe for the same reason. She was needlessly reckless and every time I interacted with her, I assumed that I would have to get her out of some life or death situation she put herself in
I'm also an INTP(-T) and I would save Chloe because I am a selfish person that mostly care about myself, so I would save people I care about and let others die :,) I feel so bad for Chloe and I ship Pricefield soooo.....yeah.
+minepet thats funny... i cried at the idea a little..... hadn't even watched either video or played life is strange.... but i teared up.... i have no idea why....
I feel a special connection with matpat and the theorist community after this video, INFPs unite! We make up 2% of the world, it's nice that we all found each other here.
Sad part is, the Myers Briggs is not scientifically accurate. Personalities are complicated and they can’t just be put into categories. Most people that take the same test twice get different results just in 5 weeks! It is just designed to make you feel better.
Well that’s for most people anyway, people can still get the same results but that doesn’t change the fact that personalities are more complex than just that. You never know if your personality changed in a few seconds but just slightly.
I agree that people's personalities can change, but I am saying that despite that, It's still nice that similarly minded people have been drawn together here.
The thing is that my name is max and i love photography and next year i meet a friend her name is michelle and she also has blue hair and had brown hair 4 years ago D:
What about for the next Theory........................................... The logic behind portals from the game PORTAL (duh). Like when you place portals aligned on a floor and a ceiling- would you get sick-would you be stuck forever-would it actually make a black hole? I WANT TO HEAR YOUR KNOWLEDGE PAT!
+anonymous Not on the actual portals themselves-he did it on the Companion Cube,but thanks for your concern. Maybe he should also do Pikmin and how Earth really would evolve.
+Lucky 21 Like when you keep falling through the portals over and over like you have to in the co-op campaign? No, it wouldn't... You'd just fall faster and faster until you reached terminal velocity, and then you would just shoot the portal below you to another place, or you'd just keep falling at the same velocity, forever
***** Windows 10, for me breaks my computer. See it automatically updates drivers but the latest drivers give me blue screens. I've told driver vendors about it. Although I'm yet to check if they have fixed it
I feel that if you chose to save Chloe she would just get herself killed and all those lives that were sacrificed for her would go to waste. She has a talent for getting herself killed and even killed herself
i had to rewatch this after watching ranboo’s play through on twitch. i remember adding my answers before this came out. as an infp personality, with no change from twelve to nineteen, i still stand by my choices. i would sacrifice the town to save chloe. i found some form of peace in that ending, disregarding the fact that no matter which ending you choose, you let out some “manly” tears. i love looking at the data and focusing on the future, but to have the character choose between a town full of wrongs (even though we got some amazing characters- shout out to kate), next to a best friend (or romantic interest based on decisions), who is also flawed, creates such a strong dilemma that i haven’t seen a game do since. however, i could not find an once of peace in the sacrificing chloe ending. it didn’t sit well with me. i couldn’t let that go. if i were to actually be max, there’s no way i would ever let go of that person, who’s been through so much trauma within five years, and my friend for over a decade before that. it was so much easier to end the alternate reality chloe upon asking for max to do so. she did the same thing at the end, begging max to leave her behind. yet, the warrant to very different reactions from fans.
Fellow Ranboo watchers I see. And fellow INFPs! I'm on the sacrifice Chloe side, but I understand this line of thinking too. The town is not a good place, but I can't stop thinking about the idea I'd be saving one person who is destined to die by sacrificing so many people. And that is without considering I'd stray from the original timeline, which both feels wrong and is proven wrong if the apocalypse signs are to go by. So I'd always end up sacrificing Chloe, no matter how heartbreaking it is to watch
@@TazariaGaming same! I actually felt like it would break my morals honestly, no way could I kill off a town of people and even children to save a friend
The alternate Chloe we sacrifice, knows that she is dying. She wants to die now, to ease her suffering and her parent's financial hardship. It's easier to sacrifice her because we know she wants it, she's suffering, and we will go back to the main timeline afterward anyway. Main timeline Chloe doesn't want to die. She wants to live now more than has in years but she is still hurt and has abandonment issues and doesn't feel she deserves to live. Her speech to me is her feeling like Max wouldn't choose her over the town and others so she offers herself to Max who she loves and wants to be happy. She doesn't want Max to feel guilty if she decides to sacrifice her. The look of shock and disbelief when Max chooses to save her just shows that she didn't think Max or anyone would love her unconditionally and she would always be abandoned. Max proves her wrong when she chooses to sacrifice Arcadia Bay and shows Chloe that she deserves to live and be loved. I've played through six times and I've always chose to save Chloe.. I could never sacrifice her.
I took that test thing...it’s kinda scary INTP-T I’m a “Logican” Apparently it’s wired in my brain to have like 2 friends but still not really trust them
I let her live... In this game you gained the Power to go back in time the minute she was about to get shot... So I selflishy asked myself the question: "Why would the universe or "god" or whoever give me this ability if at the end its all for nothing but to let her die again at the very end?" I felt super bad about it but I believe in real life I couldn't kill my best friend over others. Especially if its me who literally make that happen. But then again I know my friend since I was a little kid and she is still over all those years my best friend. So for me this game was very very personally, just like for many others too I guess. I love watching your theories but this kinda make me feel like an outsider almost XD
Retrogirl to learn a lesson. When the universe gave you that power, it wanted to ask yourself the deepest question of life “save your dearest friend or save hundreds to thousands of people.” The universe didn’t care whether Chloe lived or died. It wanted you to stop coasting through life and cause you to appreciate life and value life. It’s like a longer, more emotionally exhausting game of Saw. To be completely honest, the universe wouldn’t give a crap whether some edgy girl lived. It wanted Max to stop just going through life without appreciating the people around her. And, like I said, the universe wanted to ask Max whether she would sacrifice a friend for thousands. It was never anything to do with Chloe’s life.
I would not choose any of that 2 choices and replay the game and look for more clues for making the right choice every time until the end. Cannot save both is illogical if u r talking about the universe. Otherwise I want my money back or give a thumb down and complaining about irrational social engineering attempt!
I agree with OP and disagree with you @catcomrad, respectfully. You don't really know what the universe intended (me either). We have 2 conflicting viewpoints here. You see it as the universe wanted to "teach a lesson" to Max and that it doesn't care. I think she was given the power for a reason, and that MAYBE the universe wanted Chloe to live. The universe saw she was destined to die and wanted to give Max the opportunity to save her. Also, I don't see how you can argue that Max was going through life without caring about people around her. Depending on how you play Max, you do nothing but try to help people. The first scene of the game you try to help Kate before you even get powers.
MatPat I hope you read this! Your Fnaf theory was so wrong. My friend read the book (made be Scot) and your dream theory is wrong?! There is two, the sister location! It all happened! And started at a different place! Your first theory was the closest!
As an INFP who is constantly trying to solve conflict between two friends, I can confirm that "The Mediator" is the perfect nickname for our personality type.
If you truly did look at the bigger picture you’d at some point come across the bend that stopped me in my tracks. If Chloe dies, none of the game happens, she dies thinking you never came back, died wondering what happened to Rachel. She dies, and none of the decisions you made count for anything. I couldn’t kill her. I just couldn’t do it.
Even knowing that (it's kinda obvious), to choose sacrifice her still seems a LOT more right for me... You see, Chloe is NOT the only person you care about through the game AND you will have to keep saving her AND she will lose people she cares about too (her mom) with the tornado AND, being honest, I thought she was not the best company for Max since the beginning (drugs, guns, stealing, invading...) AND, at the of the day, she voluntareered for the sacrifice by understanding what was going on herself (and you just ingnores that and kills the best chance to set the timeline right in one selfish act of "I don't care about it and even your opinion if I have to lose you" when saving her. Remember, even being sad the way she dies, not knowing all these things, she decided herself, if I remember right). I mean, it's a really tough decision by it's essence and I wouldn't do it easily in ANY case, but, at the end of the day, for me the path to follow seems pretty obvious considering all the stuff I said above. A tough path, but the path to be followed. Maybe, if there was less "AND"s on the first part of the comment and there was less people that matters for you and Chloe in danger and she was not doomed by space-time since the beginning, I could be lost in doubts or even take the another option. But, the way it is, I wouldn't (even understanding why you chose what you chose).
Whoa man, I respect your opinions and all but I don't need the sass! I was just giving my opinion and reasons for picking what I picked, I don't mind what you picked...
I don’t think he was trying to ‘sass’ you; i’m ENTJ so I can sympathize with his choice, and for me it’s very, very difficult to see how making the decision you did would be the most sensible, since I mostly rely on logic, and you have to admit it is pretty difficult to defend that choice by only using logic. Bottom line is, I think he was just trying to explain his decision as thoroughly as he possibly could with the expectation that you would reply and do the same, explaining your choice to him as thoroughly as possible in order to help him understand it. At least, that would by my explanation. BONUS QUESTION for reading all of this; how’s your week going mate?
I really really don't think you should get too hooked up on this personality thing. It's cool and all but not really something that should be *used*. We can make decisions based on what we think, not what we are supposed to think in accordance with a quiz. I respect your choice obviously, but I am a man who looks at story etc blah blah. In real life I would probably kill Chloe, but I let myself get drawn into the characters, and I truly loved Chloe as a character. And by this (as I believe Ultimate Dragon didn't quite get) I'm not trying to put anyone else down and say 'oh I look at characters and you don't', because that's simply not true. I was trying to say that what stopped me specifically was what I said above. I could honestly go on forever but I won't. Also my week's find cheers, busy though. You?
Honestly, I wouldn't really let a quiz define how I should behave socially either, I just thought referencing it was relevant and would get the point across. Plus, I've known that I'm a logical thinker much longer than that quiz has been well known. All I was really trying to say is I can see where Ultimate Dragon was coming from, albeit it was a bit of an overreaction, no argument there. Also my week's been very productive, yet fun as well. I just got braces, so that's a thing. Not nearly as painful as all the stories I've heard, but slightly uncomfortable.
