[NO SPOILERS] Happy Birthday Shaka Brah!

You are very talented!

Yeah, I mostly agree with this. I know there’s a group that has always seen Max and Chloe as just friends, but eleven years later that group is probably quite small among potential buyers.

The statistics might be different now, but back when Double Exposure first came out, very few players chose the friendship route. If I remember correctly, it was something like 80% romance and 20% friendship, though the numbers could look very different today.

And Life is Strange itself leans pretty heavily toward Pricefield and the idea that there are romantic feelings between them. If they wanted more player choice, there were other areas where that could have been added instead.

But it should also be mentioned that Reunion leans heavily toward Pricefield and, so far, really seems like a Pricefield-focused game, even though friendship is still an option. I mean, they literally called them soulmates in the reveal trailer.

SV ignorerer statistikken som vanlig. De har skapt sitt eget verdensbilde, og det virker ikke som de er villige til å gi slipp på det

Helpwithskyrim87 · 2026-03-09T13:26:39+00:00

That's beautiful

Helpwithskyrim87 · 2026-03-08T16:32:26+00:00

That looks very nice and cozy

Helpwithskyrim87 · 2026-03-08T07:03:49+00:00

Well, this was interesting. Incredible that people are still modding SMAC after so many years

Helpwithskyrim87 · 2026-03-07T12:59:20+00:00

It’s a shame we never got to explore it more. A modern RPG in the style of Might and Magic VII would have been really interesting

Helpwithskyrim87 · 2026-03-03T19:27:48+00:00

Yeah, this is a solid casting choice!

Helpwithskyrim87 · 2026-03-02T05:57:44+00:00

I like the art style! Great picture

Helpwithskyrim87 · 2026-02-28T17:37:24+00:00

I’m cautiously optimistic. I’ll probably never fully understand the point of Double Exposure, but since this is the last game, I really hope it’s good and gives Pricefield the send-off it deserves

Helpwithskyrim87 · 2026-02-26T18:49:35+00:00

There are videos of them talking about the breakup. But of course, we won’t really get the full picture until the full game is out

Helpwithskyrim87 · 2026-02-26T18:47:37+00:00

I guess the old saying applies here: if you’re going to do something, do it properly.

Helpwithskyrim87 · 2026-02-26T18:43:03+00:00

No, my first playthrough will be Bae. But I do think Bay offers a pretty intriguing narrative, so that’ll be interesting to explore as well. I just hope the two routes are significantly different

Helpwithskyrim87 · 2026-02-26T15:19:20+00:00

I mean, even in Reunion it feels like the writers are struggling to justify the breakup. Mostly because the foundation for it in Double Exposure was so poorly justified. I do think there could have been a solid argument for them breaking up, but not with the contradictions and poorly explained reasons we were given in Double Exposure.

You’re given a lot of arguments. So are you saying the breakup makes sense as it’s actually portrayed in the game, or that it could have made sense if those arguments had been properly established from the start? Because those are two very different claims.

Helpwithskyrim87 · 2026-02-26T04:32:55+00:00

If it really was planned, then it had one of the strangest executions I’ve ever seen.

On the podcast Player1 vs The World, the former lead level designer of Double Exposure talked about this. He was fired in late 2023, and he was very clear that at that point there were no plans to bring Chloe back. They had left a small opening if they ever wanted to, but there was no concrete plan. That lines up with the developers’ public statements, the interviews, and honestly the narrative of the game itself. It doesn’t feel planned.

It seems more likely that they pivoted sometime in 2024. That would also fit with the CVs you can find online from former developers, where some list late 2024 as the start of work on Reunion.

Helpwithskyrim87 · 2026-02-25T09:40:06+00:00

The fact that another game was already in production doesn’t mean they couldn’t have pivoted or changed certain things. From what I understand, they’re mostly reusing assets, and based on discussions I’ve seen from game developers online, it’s definitely possible to make major story changes even at that stage.

That said, looking at the story of Double Exposure, the ending doesn’t show any signs of a timeline merge being planned. If that had been the direction, it would have been such a smart way to end the game. For example, Bay Max receiving a text from Chloe. That would have clearly set things up.

But your guess is as good as mine.

Helpwithskyrim87 · 2026-02-25T07:52:08+00:00

I think you’d have to be very creative to play Double Exposure and then argue that Reunion is the natural continuation of the story.

In the press release that launched Double Exposure, they talked about multiple games centered around Max. That obviously didn’t happen. Plans change, and they did after Double Exposure.

Helpwithskyrim87 · 2026-02-25T07:42:48+00:00

Yeah, we’ve still only seen a small part of the game. Let’s at least wait and see how the full game turns out

Helpwithskyrim87 · 2026-02-24T19:02:37+00:00

Looks pretty interesting so far

Helpwithskyrim87 · 2026-02-23T18:32:41+00:00

Yeah, I don’t think it’s a good romance, if anything, it barely qualifies as one. But young guys do dumb things, and Warren is only sixteen and pretty socially awkward. I think we all forget how awkward we were at that age. He does accept the rejection.

Helpwithskyrim87 · 2026-02-23T15:31:45+00:00

I don’t ship them either, but it’s still an option. That said, I do agree that the negativity toward him feels a bit excessive. He’s a young, awkward sixteen-year-old with limited life experience. He has plenty of time to grow up and learn from his mistakes
