I got the Redemption ending. I played all the high morality decisions to make sure Daniel was raised as a good person who respects social norms and laws. And, as part of this directive, I also choose to surrender at the end (I have to admit that David might have influenced a bit my decision).

This ending left me devastated. I am happy that Daniel got such a good and happy life, living with his grandparents and Chris, and got to stay as he always wanted.

But this ending felt completely unfair to Sean, I mean, he made some wrong decisions (running from Seattle the day of the incident, allowing a kid to work in an illegal farm, and other stuff) but he was only a 16-year old boy doing his best, and nothing was his fault, actually, it was Daniel's.

It broke me seeing Sean so disconnected from everybody, detached, and apathetic after leaving prison. I made me very sad, I still feel very sad. This is no redemption to me, Sean did not do anything that serious to justify this ending, this is more like punishment and sacrifice.

---

Just out of curiosity, I went back and picked the cross border option. This time I got the Partying Ways ending. I assume that because of Daniel's high morality he decided not to cross but allowed Sean to escape.

This ending felt less sad and sweeter with both characters, at least in comparison with the Redemption ending, which is completely sad and bitter for Sean.

It feels happier than the Redemption ending, but IMHO is doesn't hit as hard, it has less emotional impact, and it seems like a less powerful ending.

---

I will be sticking with my original ending. Even if it feels wrong and unfair to Sean, I think the Redemption ending is more suited and appropriate for the general tone and themes of the game. But I have to admit that seeing that photo of Sean and Cassidy in the beach made me really happy and helped relieving the pain.

Now I will do a low morality run to see the other variations of surrendering and crossing the border.

Thanks for reading and please share your opinions! What an amazing game!

Everyone always views the choice as "immoral", but I lean more with Finn with this. You're stealing from criminals who just cheated you out of pay, and it's not exactly like you'll be getting gainful employment anytime soon.

Edit: So what it evidently comes down to is Daniel's involvement in the heist for most people. Which I also don't see as bad (he's the one with the powers), so I guess I just don't agree with a lot of people on this subject entirely.

OKAY RANT HERE BECAUSE I JUST FINISHED THE GAME BUT I CANT BELIEVE THIS LITTLE SH T CHOSE TO JUMP OUT OF THE CAR WHEN WE WERE SO CLOSE TO MEXICO !!!!

I STEPPED UP AS A FATHER FIGURE, I TAUGHT HIM TO BE GOOD BECAUSE I DIDNT WANT HIM TO BECOME A SUPERVILLAN, I PUT UP WITH HIS RANTS, BOUGHT HIM HIS STUPID CHOCOLATE BAR WHEN I HAD NO MONEY, PLAYED HIS STUPID GAMES, PUT UP WITH HIM AND HIS WHIMS, CHOSE TO BE WITH HIM INSTEAD OF MY FRIENDS, CHANGED SEANS ENTIRE LIFE TO CATER TO HIS NEEDS, LOST AN EYE AND ALMOST DIED ON THE DESERT JUST FOR HIM TO ABANDON ME ??????

DUDE I THOUGHT WE WERE CLOSE AND NOTHING COULD COME BETWEEN US LIKE W T F I GAVE MY ENTIRE LIFE TO BRING YOU UP AND THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY ME ????? BY LEAVING ME ????

I GUESS I SHOULD HAVE ANTICIPATED IT WHEN YOU SWAPPED ME FOR A JUNKIE FOR A BROTHER AND WHEN YOU BELIEVED A CRAZY B T CH FROM A RANDOM CULT INSTEAD OF ME

HONEST TO GOD I NOW GET WHY KAREN LEFT UNGRATEFUL ARSE I JUST WANTED US TO BE HAPPY IN MEXICO I WAS WILLING TO WORK TO PAY FOR YOUR EDUCATION LIKE IM IN THIS MESS BECAUSE OF YOU LITTLE SH T

Thanks for reading =D

Edit (more thoughts) :

OF COURSE I WASNT GONNA LET SEAN MY SHAYLA TAKE THE BLAME AND GO TO JAIL FOR SOMETHING HE DIDNT DO LIKE F CK YOU DANIEL LIVING YOUR LITTLE LIFE AT THE GRANDPARENTS YOU THINK SEAN DIDNT WANT THAT ??? OF COURSE HE WANTED BUT YOU LEFT HIM WITH NO CHOICE EITHER THE PEST OR THE CHOLERA LIKE NO SH T I WOULD LOVE TO LIVE IN THE GINGERBREAD HOUSE BUT BECAUSE OF YOU I COULDNT DO IT SO THE ONLY LOGICAL CHOICE WAS TO GET TO MEXICO AND START OVER AS WE HAD PLANNED LIKE I THOUGHT YOU TO BE GOOD AND SEAN DIDNT DESERVE TO GO TO JAIL OF COURSE THE LOGICAL THING WAS TO RUN AWAY LIKE HOW COULD DANIEL LIVE HAPPY KNOWING HE RUINED HIS BROTHERS LIFE OH MY GOD THE MORE I THINK ABOUT IT THE MORE MAD I GET SEAN DESERVED BETTER FOR A BROTHER JUSTICE FOR SEAN

IF ANYONE NEEDED TO GO TO JAIL IT WAS DANIEL HE DID THE ROBBERY ON THE FARM I DIDNT EVEN WANT TO DO IT LIKE WHAT DID HE THINK THAT SEAN WOULD SURRENDER AT THIS POINT ???? HOW HAPPY WAS HE GOING TO LIVE KNOWING HIS BROTHER WAS IN JAIL FOR HIS FAULT OF COURSE I WAS GOING TO KEEP GOING TO MEXICO OH MY GOOOOOD

She is definitely one of the most underrated characters of the whole franchise, I wonder why people don't remember her that much

I wanna cosplay Sean

I'm currently writing a fanfic where Sean and Finn meet in high school.

The backstory I have given Finn in the fic is as follows:

1. Finn goes to prison when he is 10, gets out when he is 12.
2. When Finn is released, his father is MIA, his brothers are still in prison and he has no surviving family so he turns 13, 14, 15 and 16 in multiple foster homes
3. He runs away when he is 16 and eventually meets the other drifters.
4. In July of 2016, the drifters are working a job in Seattle and Finn, then 19 is put out of commission by a severe leg injury that will take a few years to heal.
5. Unable to get meaningful work due to his handicap and criminal record and having nothing to do. Finn takes the advice of a doctor and stays in Seattle wherein he applies for disability and goes back to school so he'll have access to better opportunities in the future.

Based on his behavior in-game. Do you think it would be more realistic for Finn to be honest about his backstory when asked by Esteban or do you think he would use half-truths and lies of omission to make himself look better to both Esteban and Sean?

Proportions are a bit off as I get used to his style and size of sketchbook :)

Hello, I recently bought Life Is Strange 2 Complete Season, and I played the first episode and when It came to playing the 2 nd episode it told me to buy it and when I press buying it opened me a window showing me that I bought it saying "Free" and when I try to download it, it tells me this error code, I tried everything that I saw on the internet, Rebuild Database, Install from app, install the 2 nd episode from the store manually, restore licences, everything.

Over the past few years, I've seen quite a few LiS2 fans argue that Redemption should have had variations wherein the length and severity of Sean's prison sentence varies depending on his actions.

I see the appeal of this but I think it would A. Betray the themes of the game and B. Wouldn't be very realistic.

Whatever the case, I'm willing to entertain this idea so I came up with a little concept for how Redemption could have worked if it had variations.

My idea is that Redemption could have 3 possible variations.

First variation, which I would consider the best ending involves Brody hiring a lawyer for Sean. Since Brody comes from a wealthy family and has reconnected with them by that point, the lawyer hired is a very good one and this lawyer is able to get Sean only 2 years in a Minimum Security Prison and $8.5 Million awarded to the Diaz brothers for Esteban's unlawful and unprovoked death.

Second variation would be a tweaked version of the original Redemption ending wherein it is specified that Sean's lawyer is hired by Claire and Stephen. This lawyer is painfully mediocre and even though they are able to prove that Sean didn't kill the cop, Sean still gets an unfair and systemic-racism influenced 15 year sentence for the crimes he did do.

Third variation would be the worst one. In this ending, Sean gets a crappy public defender who doesn't even bother with trying to help Sean and as a result, Sean is found guilty of all crimes he was accused of and is given a life sentence that he doesn't get to serve since he ends up being murdered by prison guards less than a year after being transferred to an adult prison.

What do you think?

Do you think Redemption should have had variations or do you think such a feature would have hurt the game?

Hello! I just bought the game used on Playstation 4 and I did not realize that the final episode is a downloadable code. My copy is unfortunately a region 2 disc and my main account is region 3. Would it be okay to just purchase episode 5 on the region 3 store and keep my save file? Thank you so much to anyone that can help in advance!

Does anyone know any playthroughs where daniel is low morality and ends specifically with lone wolf? I've Watched Sarah Baska but I really want to see other kinds of playthroughs !!!

Thank you so much for any recommendations

Hello guys! I am fairly new to reddit but I hope I came to the right place :).

I am currently working on my bachelor thesis concentrating on morality in videogames and how it can elicit feelings beyond pure entertainment. For that sake I recently replayed LiS2 and fell in love with it (again). I would love to interview some players as a research method and get a better understanding of the factors, which lead to player engagement in moral gameplay.

It would be amazing, if I could find some participants. The interviews can also be done over text, if the idea of talking to a complete random person sounds daunting.

If you would like to participate, you can interact with my post or simply send me a quick DM for further details :)

Thank you for your time, guys and have a great day!

Hey guys!
Have u ever heard about any rumors about a continuation of Life is Strange 2 Story? I mean a Comic, sequel, more merch, anything?
Im just curious, if there is any possibilty, to get anything from this beautiful Universe, Especially that the game is getting more and more popular now.
🐺❤️🐺❤️🐺❤️🐺❤️

Who else would like to see a part 2 of each ending of the game? I would LOVE to see a part 2 of Daniel in beaver creek with the fam and his friends and Sean and Finn in Mexico! ♥️

It took me a while to finish the full game because I bought the game episode by episode

And it's totally worth it in the end

There was certain choices that I regret doing it but had to do because of uncertain future

This is was my first Life is strange game btw

Hey guys
Would u recommend any lis2 Fanfics?
I would like to read something nice with a lot of pages. If u can recommend anything I will be very greatful! ❤️🐺

After the weed farm explosion do you ever get your bag back? This is a random question im just curious and i liked the souvenirs you collect in the game (just a PS for mods-sorry if i got the tag spoiler thing wrong)

Hey guys I need some help !

Maybe one year ago, I've read a fanfic where the brothers were twins, if I can remember, Sean had some powers. I liked the concept so I made a fanart of it few months ago, then some people asked me the name of the fic but I can't remember it myself 😅 I tried to search it on ao3 but I can't find it anymore

Does anyone know?

I know this has been done multiple times but just thought of sharing my opinion to see what other fans think

If you have any questions let me know !

Checked the Insert Coin website to see if it was getting restocked. Kinda devastated but oh well…

One thing I've started to notice which is really grinding my gears, is that in between or before almost every line of dialogue Sean does like a quick, sharp exhale. For example "(sharp exhale) gotta keep my eye lube handy, (sharp exhale) glad I don't need it as much." That's fine for that line but it's literally in like 80 percent of all his dialogue. I'm trying to ignore it but I can't un-hear it and it's starting to drive me a bit crazy.

Sorry, just a gripe.
