There are obviously a ton of possibilities when it comes to the ending. Let's say Mike shoots Emily. Do you think he went to jail as a result? If everybody survived, do you think the couples stayed together? Do you think the friends grew closer or drifted apart?
shareEmily is such a bitch, she probably pressed charges on Mike!
shareI doubt it, and no way would she get a conviction

If anyone mentioned Wendigo they'd all be thrown in the looney bin anyway.
shareAnd she would have every right. If someone put a gun to my head and threatened to shoot me
I'd be pretty pissed too. That was Mike's worst moment in the game.
Back to topic it depends on your actions. Emily/Matt can grow closer or further apart as can Ashley/Chris. Jess/Mike pretty much remain close no matter what. Honestly, I don't think all of them would remain friends after that if it was real. No way.
She definitely has a right to be pissed. Not so sure about trying to press charges and get the guy arrested. That was a high pressure situation for everyone, and people can do dumb things under stress. He didn't pull the trigger at the end of the day

That's assuming he doesn't. He can if you choose to. Either way it's still ridiculous and borderline insane pulling a gun on someone who *might* (a big might) be infected. I seriously doubt she'd press charges though after everything that happened.
shareWell, she won't be pressing charges if she's got a hole in her head. And in all honesty, while obviously I don't think Mike was right to the pull a gun on her, I actually do understand the thought process. What's-his-face was vague about what creates a banshee, and most horror creatures can potentially transfer their status with a bite (werewolves, vampires, zombies, etc.) Imagine Emily tuning into a Wendigo in the basement?

*Wendigo but I guess I can understand that. But I still wouldn't pull a gun on someone when they were begging for their life, no matter what the cost. Point is: Mike doesn't know for absolute certainty that she'll turn into one (due to the fact the guy was being vague) so he has no right to start pulling guns on people. He was being an idiot.
The aftermath of actually shooting her was awful so I assume they weren't expecting many people to do that.
Well, yeah. I'm in complete agreement with you. Mike WAS wrong. I guess I just don't see it as this moral event horizon Mike can only redeem himself from via heroic sacrifice like some other people do, and it did make sense for his character.

No definitely not. Unless you were planning on killing everyone, in which case Mike's sacrifice would work. Otherwise shooting Emily makes no sense and Mike sacrificing himself pretty much requires the worst ending.
shareExcept she was a bitch so it was completely justified.
shareThe only way to have Emily still love Matt is for Matt to die, she feels terrible if he dies and feels guilty, the irony is if Matt lives she then hates him for leaving here there.
so it's impossible to have Emily love Matt if he surives so I guess they break up no matter what
You can give him the flare gun and he can survive while trying to save her, thus avoiding hate. Though she WILL hate Mike.
If you also have Matt kiss Emily's ass all game and not learn about her cheating, then attempt to save her once before fleeing, I BELIEVE the two will have enough previous build up to keep the relationship strong and she'll still like him. If you toss her the flare gun, she also won't hate Mike

My Matt went out of his way to try and save her, and the bitch still didn't appreciate the help in the end... She deserved a bullet to the head.
shareI've played twice, Matt died both times, and Emily still hates him in the end.
share"Did you find Matt"
"No"
"Well don't look too hard."
That's one cold hearted b*tch.
It depends on their relationship level. She was really worried about him in my game

Agree - Matt died and Emily lived in my game and she said the "don't look too hard" line and then insulted him saying he left her down there to die. However, in my game I think he tried to save her but maybe she didn't see it because I think he jumped to safety and then was immediately killed.
shareNot sure about jail but maybe Mike would be committed to a mental hospital for post traumatic stress. All of them would most likely have to go through some sort of therapy after the experience. And I feel like the situation may have caused most of the characters to drift apart because they went through so much and changed.
(Well maybe Sam, Chris and Ashley would still be friends. I don't think Emily and Matt would stay together because in order to keep Matt alive you have to abandon her or ruin their relationship. Jess might still have a thing for Mike but he won't be the same bro like guy like before.)
I have no fudging clue what to put here anymore...
In my game Mike shot Emily. But in my game Mike also died. So I guess that it's sort of a wash in my case.
I think that Mike and Jessica would stay together if they both survived. And I think that Chris and Ashley would stay together if they both survived.
I think that the friends would grow together at an emotional level, but that at the same time they wouldn't want to spend too much time together afterwards because they would remind each other of all the horrible things they've seen.
To be honest, about half of them would either be sent to a mental hospital or be put on therapy for the rest of their lives. Or maybe the government would keep them locked up because they "know too much".
WRONG….about the whole Matt thing.
I finished a second play through where at the end both Matt and Emily lived and Emily asked about Matt and how she was very bitchy to him but wanted to see him.
You have to do the following.
1) Stand up to Mike after he pranks you at the beginning.
2) Agree with Emily to go on ahead to the lodge.
(Doesn't really matter whether you see the scene if she cheats or not. If you do just threatened Mike or be cool with him but don't turn against Emily. For now.)
3) Stand against Jessica and provoke her, pretty much agreeing with Emily.
4) At the Cable Cart Station your choice here will determine whether Matt shoots the flare gun at the gun tower or keeps the ammo to defend himself later on. You have to NOT agree with Emily and say you wanna head back to the Lodge.
5) Don't kill the Deer for christ sake.
6) Find the Flare Gun and give it to Matt.
7) As Emily shouts for help you HAVE to argue with her. (If she cheated on Mike, pick the first choices and make her admit it. If you didn't see it and instead get the options to say what you think pick those. By the end Emily is forced to apologise.)
8) Save her sorry ass…twice.
9) And you've kept your relationship with Emily working. Well Done. Now keep both of them alive till the end.
Love breeds sacrifice, which breeds hatred. Then you can know pain - Pain
