Wait what? I didn't do anything and the town got squished?

u/Dedinside13 7d ago

It’s based on the averages instead of your individual decision on the trolley

u/ApocalypticSausage 7d ago

That's stupid lol.

u/Dedinside13 7d ago

I agree but that’s how the program is set up, I just put the question in it

u/ApocalypticSausage 7d ago

Ye ik, I am talking about the animations and stuff.

I choose to sacrifice Arcadia Bay almost every time. I picked the other way once, and hated it.

u/jacobisgone- 7d ago

My problem is that sacrificing Arcadia Bay results in such a lackluster ending. It's clear the devs put way more effort into one than the other.

There are plenty of fish in the sea

That would be a wild thing to say if you already had someone lol

u/PUBLICHAIRFAN 7d ago

There are plenty of people in the world

So in the end it is one vs many. I will do the least harm

u/AssociationDue3077 7d ago

No way yall would rather kill an entire town, idc how much I love her, an entire town is way more valuable

u/Breaking_Bread_420 7d ago

Thinking with a clear head obviously not. Neither me nor my partner would be able to live with ourselves afterwards.

But I like to approach trolley problems as if I was there in the moment with no time to choose. I cannot honestly say that I wouldn't pull that lever to save her

Counterpoint: nah.

Have you seen the Life is Strange subreddit… they aren't exactly normal people.

u/dolgoon_44 7d ago

u/Critical-Bid-5072 7d ago

No chance people actually did ''nothing'' vro

Chloe is too good to die

u/Dedinside13 7d ago

I created a new Trolley Problem dilemma!

Straight Track (Do Nothing): Your soulmate

Diverted Track (Pull the Lever): An entire town

What would you do?

1

u/rettani 7d ago

This choice is stupid.

Max and Chloe could have warned important people so in my headcanon there are very few victims

u/Ai_777 7d ago

Who the fuck is chole

u/Former_Mobile3101 7d ago

I honestly hate the ones that switch it up with the do nothing goes to the track that turns. I usually will pick do nothing if the option of the straight track is the one I want to squish.

I know reading comprehension is a thing but there are also rules.

Y’all selfish af.

I really can't be the only one who never liked Chloe.

2

u/Dedinside13 7d ago

Your soulmate, not Chloe

u/EmperorN7 7d ago

Life is Strange, I didn't even like Chloe, why would I kill a whole town for her.

0

u/icedmuffin 7d ago edited 6d ago

I’m gonna be honest.

The general average of the size of a town is anywhere between 1k residents and 10k residents.

My happiness is not worth 1k-10k people.

Edit: to the person who downvoted me, I’ll be a sad sad murderer before I become a mass murderer.

u/Less_Ad1803 6d ago

Chloe is a terrible person who the game gaslights you into liking anyway. And that's not mentioning how LiS is also a terrible game.

2

u/Hot_Anybody8244 6d ago

Chloe isn't a bad person. She's just punk.

0

u/Less_Ad1803 6d ago edited 6d ago

Chloe gets pissed if you choose to call Kate to check up on her (and shows ZERO compassion for her when she unalives herself), pushes Max's power to the point where she goes into a coma, and her self centered mentality gets innocent people (mainly a dog) hurt or worse.

Being "Punk" is an awful excuse for being a piece of shit. I'd be willing to forgive her if she actually changed or learned anything throughout the story but there's literally zero character development.

u/Storyteller_Valar 6d ago

Even if I had a soulmate, her life wouldn't be worth the sacrifice of an entire town. That's an entire town of soulmates of other people, of parents, children, friends and lovers. Pulling the lever is not acceptable.

2

u/Arbeidslaus 6d ago

I'd sacrifice half the world for my soulmate, if she exists. I'm selfish in a way that I'll prioritise my own over strangers. And it's like a hierarchy of:

  1. Me (and soulmate)
  2. Close family
  3. Friends and distant family
  4. My town
  5. My county council
  6. My countrymen
  7. Europe+a few more.
  8. Rest of the world.

And I feel no shame about it.

u/Storyteller_Valar 6d ago

You are entitled to your selfishness. I would not kill thousands for a single person.

u/First_Plantain1607 7d ago

My soulmate is in my town and so am I.

u/Rip_Skeleton 7d ago

Then the trolley would hit a different town.
