Confirmed
The final choice of the game will be between heading to Puerto Lobos with Daniel, or turning yourself in to the police while Daniel goes to Puerto Lobos alone.
- Partially confirmed. The choice is whether Sean and Daniel surrender to the police, or cross the border by force. Whether Daniel joins Sean or stays behind depends on his morality up to that point. Daniel will join Sean in Puerto Lobos if they decide to cross the border with his morality being low, and if they decide to surrender with his morality being high, Sean will be arrested while Daniel gets to live a normal life with the Reynolds.
Depending on the player's choices, Daniel will become a Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds
With everything that had happened to Daniel, Sean's the only one who prevents him from reaching a breaking point. Eventually something will cause Daniel to take his anger out on anyone attempting to harm him and his brother.- Partially confirmed in one of the endings. In the Lone Wolf ending, Sean's death causes him to become a criminal in Mexico and use his power for his own gain, having mastered it to the point of not even needing to make a gesture.
David Madsen helped Karen track down Daniel and will help the brothers either clear their name and/or get into Mexico in Episode 5.
Director Michel Koch has expressed disappointment
that many, if not all players of Episode 4 missed a nagging detail that'll apparently play a part in the final episode. Twitter user Sablakima noted that the password to Karen's tablet is 112708, which was David's passcode to his computer in the first game, being the date he and Joyce Price first met. Others noted that the handwriting
on the note attached to the tablet looks quite similar to David's handwriting
. It's possible that Karen heard about David's detective skills (like for the Rachel Amber case) and went to him for help finding her son.- Confirmed. He really does help them escape.
Jossed
The Men in Black will show up as antagonists
Perhaps word of Daniel’s powers will move up the ranks until instead of police, Sean and Daniel will be getting chased by The Men in Black.- Jossed. The closest we get to the authorities learning about Daniel's powers is in the Parting Ways ending, in which Daniel must now wear an ankle monitor. There's also all of the officers that witnessed Daniel's powers in the episode and every ending other than Redemption but there doesn't seem to be much concern over it, weirdly enough.
Brody is related to the Prescotts
He says he comes from a family that has a lot of money, but no morals. They would fit the description.- Jossed. He never once mentions the Prescotts, not even when he's standing right in front of Arcadia Bay, which is notable considering how infamous they are.
The main villain will be a Prescott
In Captain Spirit, there's a Hawt Dawg Man comic which shows HDM being picked up from the side of the road in the rain by Mustard, they then proceed to drive on and run into "Big Mustard" (who Mustard describes as "the same as me"). If this is to be taken as foreshadowing (as Word of God has confirmed there's quite a bit of in CS), it could imply that Brody (who picks up the Diaz bros. in the rain near the end of Episode 1) is "mustard", and a member of his family might be "big mustard". Given the above WMG (and the fact that Brody was met near Arcadia Bay, where the Prescotts have assets), it's entirely possible that this family is the Prescott clan.In addition to creating a link between the first seasons (where the Prescott family served as a Greater-Scope Villain of sorts, in addition to Nathan being The Heavy), a rich, powerful antagonist from a dysfunctional family would fit firmly with the themes of the game and make the perfect antagonistic foil to the Diaz brothers.
- Bonus points if it's Sean Prescott, after spending two games as The Unfought and used a Donald Trump analogy, perhaps running for Governor or Senator. Be a helluva breaking of a One-Steve Limit by having the protagonist and the Big Bad sharing the same first name.
- Jossed: The game doesn't really have a main villain, apart from the cops who are just doing their jobs.
Chris will run away with Sean and Daniel
Daniel will notice his bruises and convince Sean that he isn't safe in his own home. He will bond with Daniel over his powers, and he will bond with Sean over his art skills.- Sadly, Jossed: He either gets hit by a cop car, gets left behind after you saved him, or takes you to a hidden path to run away from the cops. Either way, he doesn’t join Sean and Daniel.
Daniel will eventually lose his powers.
Max seems to have lost them by the end of the first game, no matter which ending you picked, so it doesn't seem entirely out of the question.- Jossed. In all endings, he continues to use his power.
- Max also didn't lose her power, at least not in Sacrifice Arcadia Bay. She simply feels no need to use them anymore, as she's gone through her Character Development and doesn't need to rely on Rewind to make decisions anymore.
Karen left because she also had powers
Either she couldn't control them or perhaps drew the attention of some Men in Black, but either way she had to leave to keep Esteban, Sean and Daniel safe.- Jossed. She simply left because she didn't feel like settling down and raising a family.
Sean and Daniel will eventually find that theMenInBlack organization and will find out that they're also secretly monitoring Max because of her time-travel powers
Life is Strange 3 will be about the brothers helping Max and protecting her from that secret organization.- Jossed. Sean and Daniel never find a The Men in Black organization, and nobody but Max herself and Chloe knows about her power, not even David, who they've made amends with.
Cassidy called the cops on Sean and Daniel.
In Episode 2, if you don't log into your profile or call Lyla, then the police will still show up to the Reynolds house, referencing that someone at the Christmas market recognized them. Considering that the conversation with Cassidy is unavoidable, and the fact that both brothers use their real names with her, it's possible that she was the one who informed the cops. Perhaps she isn't as innocent as she pretends to be.- Jossed. Cassidy is best friends with and a potential Love Interest to Sean in Episode 3.
After Karen left, she received gender-reassignment surgery and became Brody.
Brody seems to know more about the Diaz brothers than he lets on, even knowing that the incident in Seattle left a police officer dead, and yet he still goes out of his way to help them without a second thought. He also mentions that his parents were 'cynical', a term that could also apply to the Reynolds.- Jossed. Karen appears in Episode 4 as herself.
Karen is a shapeshifter
And she shifted into several people (Brody, Cassidy, etc.) so that she can look out and care for Sean and Daniel without being noticed.Karen is the Big Bad of the game
- Jossed. She is helpful to the brothers in episodes 4 and 5, and even pulls a Heroic Sacrifice when she lets the cops arrest her to give her sons time to escape.
Karen is clairvoyant and has orchestrated several of the events in the game
Going along with the above WMGs that Karen is the Big Bad and that she has powers, she will turn out to be an Anti-Villain who has used her ability to see into the future to change the course of events to her liking, with her motive being so that she can be reunited with Sean and Daniel without Esteban in the picture, as she couldn’t control her powers and had to go in order to keep her sons safe. Now that she has control of her powers, she wants to reunite with her kids but can’t because the government’s on her tail, so she set things up to make it so that Sean and Daniel would end up coming to her. She may also be the culprit behind Emily Eriksen's hit-and-run murder, as Karen may have foreseen that keeping Emily alive would've resulted in an undesirable outcome in some way, and went back to Beaver Creek at one point specifically to kill her. Max (and Chloe if the player saved her) will help Sean find Daniel
When she learned about the various incidents caused by Daniel's power, she sought the Diaz brothers out hoping she can learn more about her own powers. In-between games, she learned that as long as she either uses her powers sparingly or if she doesn't stay in the same place when using them, they won't cause another storm (something she wishes she knew when she had to choose between Chloe and Arcadia Bay). Her powers also upgraded to allow her to travel to the past using video (though she can only see what happened in the area since she wasn't actually there), and she used the security footage of Daniel's first rampage, the incident at Hank's store, the police footage from Beaver Creek, and Merrill's cameras to find them.- Jossed. They only appear as off-screen cameos in Episode 5, and it also depends on what choice you made at the end of the first game.
One of the brothers if not both of them will insult Trump if Daniel smashes the wall.
Why not?- Jossed.
