So last night I thought of a new route which would be Inferno First rather than saving them, but the issue is would I be able to reply the episodes and save them.

Chris is one that would fuck my plans up as I would be starting from chapter 8 to do the Emily shooting scene, but if I choose to shoot Ashley in chapter 6 his fate is sealed right?

so can anyone confirm would he die from my original run or would it be like a clean slate from 8?

yeah he is dead if you shoot ashley

Rip there goes my new strat, so annoying man.

also something new I tested, you cant shoot Ashley and then skip to Chapter 8 the game will keep your original choice even though you did something different.
