Alex will need to make many decisions during her time at Haven Springs in Life is Strange: True Colors. Some choices change the way the story plays out, while others offer slight dialogue variations or a small scene change.
The decision to either take Charlotte's anger or leave her alone in Chapter 3 of Life is Strange: True Colors has big ramifications in later chapters. It's one of the few choices in the game that actually has a 'right' option if players are trying to get the best ending they can in the game.
Updated on May 17th, 2023 by Hodey Johns: The game may be a few years old but timeless stories don't ever stop being told. This is especially true in a game such as Life Is Strange: True Colors which doesn't tell just one story but several. Veterans of the franchise continue to replay the stories they love on top of experimenting with other options. New players will be discovering the biggest moments in the game for the first time. To help either kind of gamer along, this guide has been updated to summarize what happens with Charlotte, Alex, and others in the bullet points so readers don't have to go through the entire entry. However, additional details that get itno more specifics have also been added to the article.
If Alex Takes Charlotte's Anger
- Alex gets angry with Steph and Ryan later
- Charlotte will be disloyal to Alex
- Charlotte and Alex will have a negative relationship in the end
- Ryan will be disloyal to Alex unless players do the following:
- Romance him (Give him the rose and kiss him on the rooftop during the Spring Festival)
- Back-up Ryan's claim that Alex heard Gabe's call in Chapter 2
- Hug Ryan in Chapter 2
- When given the option to choose Steph or Ryan as the distraction in Chapter 3, go with Ryan
Without spoiling later events too much, if Alex takes Charlotte's anger away in Life is Strange: True Colors, Alex will get angry at her friends Steph and Ryan later in the chapter, which affects her relationship with them later. Everything will seem fine with Charlotte to begin with, but when reencountered in later chapters, she will appear drained of her emotions.
There is also an important story event in Chapter 5, and if Charlotte has had her anger taken, she won't stand up for Alex during this scene. It's easy to get a platinum trophy for the game but players can blow it by making the wrong choice here.
If Alex Leaves Charlotte Alone
- Charlotte will work through her feelings
- Charlotte will be loyal to Alex
- Charlotte and Alex will have a positive relationship in the end
- Can make Ryan loyal if everyone else is loyal to Alex
Although leaving Charlotte alone may have players feeling helpless, it is the best option to pick because of its positive consequences in later chapters. Alex will not get angry at Steph and Ryan, and Charlotte will have all of her emotions when players come across her again.
Romancing Steph can be beautiful but she stays loyal regardless. To get Charlotte to stand up for Alex, gamers will find that leaving Charlotte alone is the best decision to make for both story outcome and character development.
