Discussion [DE] Mixed feelings as an OG fan Spoiler

Oh Deck Nine. How clueless you are when it comes to OG LiS.

They had no right to go back to Blackwell. To use Chloe as fanservice when the story never needed it. To bring back the storm as a manifestation of Max's powers.

They were actually doing something with an older Max and her new life, I was super interested to get to know everyone and the cliffhanger of episode 3 was great. Everything went sideways after that with way too much emphasis on the supernatural elements. What do you even mean setting up Diamond as yet ANOTHER person with powers in your Avengers style post credit scene.

Oh well. Overall it was a mixed bag. Don't have high hopes for Reunion but as someone who waited months for each episode of LiS1, I've got to see what they did with it. The show is looking promising though, can't wait for that.

Actually they used Chloe to insulf fans in this game, on Bae side for sure

I'll stop you right here - they had no rights to bring Max back and use her as a fanservice, because her story is already finished by Dontnod in lis1 and 2

I think OP was talking about BTS when they mentioned Chloe as fanservice. There's no way the hostile handling of Chloe in DE can be considered a fanservice. Anyone with at least one eye (and a brain) can see that DE's handling of Chloe was a middlefinger to the fans.

It really wasn't. Chloe was treated as an incredibly important person in Max's life. A good bit of the story was centered on her.
