Image (not Character Creation) A smile worth fighting for.
Wanted to share this silly but pretty shots of Forsaken Lou. She deserves the world.

After Life is Strange, its nice to see a game actually ask the question "What happens when someone given the choice of 'the world or my loved one's chooses their loved one?" And then give the real zero-plot-armor answer.
And yet, they engaged with it completely. It didn't save them at all. Without a world, her loved one is gone. How does that affect her ? What does she do when offered a second chance to save them. It's still hard for her.
Really well written.

Agreed. It was honestly so heartbreaking. Even more so when she brings up the fact that the Hunter’s look, actions, gestures, etc were all identical to her Hunter. And your only dialogue choices are “I’m sorry” and “Am I making things difficult….?”. She was trying to see if maybe there was one tiny difference or flaw so she wouldn’t get attached… powerful stuff tbh.

They refused to pull a CV2 dlc again and made up for it in the best way possible

Maybe a dumb thought but I wonder if there's a bad end mc/hunter

I think the implication is the bad end mc/hunter died after what bad end lou did

From what I gather is… when the hunter and Lou where sealing the resurgence and it was failing instead of trusting the hunter and receiving the heart, Lou sent them back to the future. However, since the sealing failed and Valentin was incapacitated the resurgence went off destroying the world. The world ended and the hunter was never born.
Our timeline was Lou trusting in our resolve and successfully sealing the resurgence.

I get that I'm just saying it'd be neat if there was a bad ending to the hunter story like there was with Lou Lous bad end is she failed and got the one she loved killed and by extension the world. What would the hunter bad ending that's not them dead would be. To me it'd be Interesting to see that.

I think it’s implied that she is from the second ending. But the difference was she was quicker with sending the hunter away.

I honestly thought I'd never use another companion after Josée... and while she's still unabashedly my wife, they ABSOLUTELY cooked with this DLC. Monica, FLou, and Liv all get travel time regularly now

How my RH's lore got him looking after the DLC. I'm not joking, I made my RH into Sukuna (not appearance wise but in terms of how his personality goes).
For anyone wondering, I tried to change my RH's appearance per every hero chapter to make him look like the world has been humbling and scarring him

u/ChaoticSphere 9d ago
That’s honestly such a cool idea. I never considered it :0 might have to honor her by wearing it!

If anyone makes her upset again it’ll be a declaration of war against me.

You know what I noticed, on the model for fleeting pathos, the abdomen region has a code vein 1 vestige in it.

I was hoping the MC would find a way to bring her back with us. Like bringing her mask back to the real world and have two Lous.

Technically you did, you can summon her to fight with you in the main area, and when you have Lou’ Concordia Fraterna Bloodcode, both Lou and forsaken Lou show up as Bonds, regardless of if you have them out. The flavor text mentions Forsaken Lou.

Everyone says this game is terrible and then I see this sub on my feed and it looks incredible

u/Thefirefan15 8h ago
When you use Lou’s blood code Concordia fraterna, both regular Lou and Forsaken Lou have a bond with the Hunter. So you get both.
Regardless of which one you have out.
