So I ended up making all the different choices. I hated the idea of even summoning Joey to help me escape, so I had Sean knock out the guard instead - which hardly helps his case as not-a-juvenile-felon, whoops. I also tried really hard to not piss off the racist asshole in the desert, including not jumping for the etch-a-sketch-- but then he started on the "this is not your country" nonsense and my own personal rage meter boiled over, so I had Sean curse him out.
I also just ignored Finn. Luke at Outside Xbox called Finn a charismatic cult leader in the making and I really have to agree, so I just ditched his ass.
Re: Karen, I honestly expected something entirely different. I assumed that her reason for leaving would be tied up in why Daniel is the way he is. Her actual reasons - well, I am very surprised by how sympathetically the whole thing was handled. Maybe I'm biased. One of my greatest fears is ending up in a domestic life with children I don't want because that's what society expects of me. (People still, in the year 2019, respond very strangely when I say I don't want children and don't intend to get married.) So the scenes with her and Sean at the motel, particularly their talk by the pool, might be my favourite part of the game so far.
AND THAT'S WHERE I AM, as of today. We're on our way to meet Jacob when I put my controller down.
The church people are really, really creepy, but Sarah Lee is adorable and I've only known her for five minutes but I would die for her. Someone get her to a doctor, please!
