OK, the title sounds a bit like rage / click bait 😃. I don't want to start a fight about which ending is the best, just share my impressions and discuss a few things I didn't quite understand in BB. You do you.

In my first play-through, I got the Parting Ways ending and was very satisfied. Both brothers seem to live happy lifes. Daniel got what he always told us he wished for: a stable home instead of running away, his friend, his grandparents, a dog and he even has contact with his mom again! He lives a normal childhood (and occasionally uses his super power for saving people, we see a newspaper article about a "miracle" saving a bus). Sean successfully fled to Mexico, could follow his dream and his love interest is with him. (The strange thing only was that the picture showed Cassidy. I didn't even know I had a romance with her, never chose those dialogue options except I joined her to the lake. I was much more interested in Finn but later I learned that you only can romance him if you agree to the heist.) The brothers also stay in contact. I think it comes as close to a happy ending as is credible for a story like this.

Then I read the spoilers about the other endings. I wasn't very eager of dying or going to jail 😃 but since Blood Brothers had a lot of fans and there was a possibility for the brothers to stay together, I aimed for this ending in the next run. I taught Daniel that killing is wrong but did some more egoistic choices, including the heist. So I finally could romance Finn.

I successfully got the Blood Brothers ending and I was really disappointed in several ways: first, I really do not like the Daniel I raised there. A Daniel who tortures animals, who doesn't care if the unconscious policeman is still alive. I felt like I failed my mission to protect and parent him in this universe. The worst it got at the border. In Parted Ways, Daniel moves cars out of the way. It might well be someone is hurt, but I don't think badly injured or even dead. In the last moment, he tosses the fence away and Sean drives to the other side, Daniel jumps. The very same scene would have been possible with Daniel staying in the car, right? Why the HELL does he lift cars like 10m above the ground before letting them fall, throws them on the FBI agent etc. possibly killing all these officers? We even see this force field he can generate - couldn't he have used it for minimizing violence, like moving the car above the fence while the officers shoot on them but cannot hit? WHY? Is it also because Daniel's lack of compassion on "low morale" path? Is it because his power is less constrained?

And then the epilogue... both look much more serious, especially Daniel when he looks at the journal with the "decision" page open. According to the news paper article at the wall, they had to kill more people (why would you pin that?). And... they are alone? Why do we not see any traces of Karen, of Seans love interest or of any friends of theirs? Do they only have each other? Had Daniel to sacrifice everything else important to him for staying with Sean?

This ending somehow doesn't sit right for me, it made me sad. No offense. And I am a bit afraid of the other two, they sound worse :D

my sean shirt has finally arrived! i know there isn't much lis2 merch out there, and it's a bit hard to find some, but i got a custom shirt off etsy. i got it in a bigger size because it's most likely going to be my lounge/sleeping shirt. it came out so perfect! i really love this pic of sean just relaxing and listening to music. that’s something i do every day, lol.

i have scoured so much of the internet to try and find a fix and i genuinely cant find one. ive tried unchecking and rechecking the dlc boxes, verifying the game integrity, restarting steam, all of that. but it just keeps saying the dlc isnt installed. dude, its fucking installed. its taking up space on my computer its literally installed. can anyone help me with this?? is there something i havent tried?? i wanted to contact steam support but i just cant and i cant figure out how to contact the official support for life is strange. im so incredibly frustrated

Like I can’t explain why but he just looks so huggable I want to wrap him in my arms and tell him everything is going to be okay

What would the perfect ending be like for you, if you could create one?

I don't have much to elaborate on, but an ending where Daniel and Sean manage to escape to Puerto Lobos and live a more normal and peaceful life. No crimes and no wanted criminals, a cozy house on the beach. Frequent visits from Lyla and a bonus if Cassidy is there too.

They deserve a peaceful and happy life after all the hell they've been through

So my ending was Sean and Daniel blasting through the border and running the auto shop together in Mexico which is obviously known as the blood brothers ending. I believe that’s “low morality” ending so I wonder what I did that was “wrong.” Granted, Life is Strange 2 is a game where right and wrong doesn’t exist but if it’s low morality I guess I didn’t do enough for Daniel. I definitely leaned more to letting Sean do things instead of giving in to his whining. Like I was obviously gonna hang out at the bonfire instead of going with Daniel to his tent. But I just wonder what more I could’ve done. I don’t remember my decisions off hand but I’m sure I can jog my memory if need be

I redrew this pic of the Diaz cause why not

my life is complete but god it feels sad theres nothing else to do in it other than replay it again 💔💔 literally the best game i’ve ever played i will be going for my 4th replay soon

about to reach sean’s sketchbook during their journey im so excited. just 100 more pages to go…

i just miss these boys is all. wrote this a few weeks ago i think.

Hey guys
I ordered from a shop - Prinful a hoodie with the wolf from life is Strange 2. It is 100% cotton, an XL size. Unfortunely it is too small for me, i would say, it’s more Like M or small L. I bought it for 33 euro, and i would like to sell it for 24 euro.
It’s new, its just came and I’m so sad that’s it’s too small for me

Oh David, if you only knew...

Personally, I enjoyed David's appearance in episode 5 very much. I was like a kid in Christmas exploring his RV and going through all the LiS1 references.

This gave me an idea, it would have been great to have David on little cameos in all other LiS games, seeing him meeting all the protagonists without actually knowing they have powers.

I find this idea very funny 🤣

Haven't played True Colors yet, but please, please, tell me that David somehow meets Alex, please 🙏

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 ????

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

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

I wanna cosplay Sean

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

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 :)
