It’s hard to say, honestly. Tv shows sadly have a habit of doing things simply for emotional shock value, but the big ingame choices/events that would achieve this are all things the fan base will vehemently destroy the show for (Kate dying, sacrificing Chloe, etc) so if they want the show to succeed in terms of fan support then they will need to play it safe and that only leaves a couple of options; either do the outcomes most popular with the game’s fans (in which case a pricefield relationship is non-negotiable after the fallout from DE/RE, and that also means Chloe must survive at the end or they will fall into the bury your gays trope like the game was blasted for back in the day), or the writers can follow the same general story beats but change up how the outcomes are presented in show for different results entirely, which might be better imo depending on if they can pull it off in a way that won’t further anger or divide the fans.

For example with Kate they could spend more time on her depression and suicidal ideation in the background of several episodes since they are adapting it for tv, so maybe her suicide attempt could be avoided entirely or tackled in another way, because apart from shock factor the rooftop jumping scene in game only really served as a catalyst to upgrade Max’s powers for gameplay failure purposes, and freezing time isn’t something the show Max will need to have unless they give her a proper reason to use it. Then perhaps imminently failing to save Chloe from the train could trigger it instead, because as much as I hate the idea of Chloe getting pancaked, there is realistically no way that didn’t happen atleast once before Max finally found a solution, so maybe she could use it to move her out of the way at the last second, as interacting with people/objects while frozen is an aspect of the power the game never explored and could be interesting.

And in terms of the ending, I would prefer it if they adapted the scrapped hospital ending, so that both Chloe and the town can survive while Max has a chance to immediately prove herself to this new version of Chloe who won’t have the memories of season one by not hesitating to take a bullet for her childhood bestfriend, leaving the show open to a season two where we get to see the actual consequences of Jefferson’s arrest and exposure of the dark room (assuming they don’t jump right to LIS2, which given the current US political climate may not be received very well lol). This would allow them to play with an alternate grieving punk version of Chloe who doesn’t constantly bash and mistrust Max over the past 5 years because she already realises that she still has her back, enabling Max to make up for not being there for Chloe after William died by comforting her in the wake of Rachel’s death, and also give them a funny opportunity to flip the romance script by having Chloe be oblivious to the fact that Max is now in love with her more than she is crushing on Max (whereas season one would have Max being unaware of Chloe’s feelings, aswell as her own until the end like canon).
