Why? Because the tornado is unavoidable. Remember the timeline where the handicapped Chloe. In there, it's probably that Max didn't affect the time at all, yet the whales are dying and stuff. It implies I think that even reseting all over again doesn't prevent the town to been blown away by the tornado. So, why sacrifice Chloe if the tornado was meant to happen anyway?
shareWhile I understand your logic, the post-choice scenes seemed pretty definitive that the disaster didn't happen (Of course I sacrificed the town anyway).
Dont overthink the whole time travel and disaster thing. It will always be filled with paradoxes.
Moreover, I think that the kiss in the Sacrifice Chloe timeline is cheap and lame. My point is: the game consists basically in saving chloe. Who gives a damn about Arcadia Bay? Just save Chloe, f!ck the city and run away.
shareYeah the ending is my only problem with the game. In part because your choices so far doesn't affect the options and in part because it's too easy to sacrifice the town.
I know I should feel that sacrificing Chloe is the morally correct choice, but since I'm not confronted with any deaths I dont care. It feels more like a choice between Chloe and buildings. This is only confirmed by the sacrice Chloe ending being infinitely more sad.
The reason why the tornado happens in the first place is because you save Chloe in episode 1. And I'm not gonna kill an entire town of people just for one person.

Wrong. All the events (snow, birds dying, mass whale beaching) happened in the timeline where you saved William as well and had nothing to do with Chloe. Whatever caused the eco-freak out and massive tornado clearly had to do with Max manipulating time in general or in no way at all. As such, just traveling back in time at the end to undo saving Chloe would have torn the fabric of time enough to start the ball rolling anyway, so at that point it didn't make a difference if she saved Chloe or not. Had she (or the writers, really) been smarter, she would have saved Chloe, exposed Jefferson and Nathan, and then spent the rest of the week figuring out a way to get the GD town to evacuate before the storm hit. Anyone who didn't get out in time, well that's on them, and Chloe and Max should have driven off into the sunset giving that pretentious rotten little town the finger in the rear view.
