Does it make more sense to play this bonus episode before or after the 3 Before the Storm episodes? I know Farewell was released after them, so most people played it afterwards. But from a narrative standpoint could it make more sense to play it before?

The bonus episode takes place earlier in the timeline, so you could play it without spoiling anything in the main episodes. That's obvious. But that's not all. A large part of Before the Storm is Chloe dealing with Max being gone, and coming to terms with that. So, this episode could act as a sort of extended prologue to the main story, since its about Max leaving, and at the end of the episode, Chloe's father dying, both of which tie into the main game. Not only that, but at the end of the episode the focus even transitions from Max to Chloe. In the final scene, Max is gone, and we only see Chloe alone. You still hear Max's voice, but she's already gone, and its just Chloe.

The counterargument would be that this bonus episode is intended to be the last time we see these characters. So, its not just them saying goodbye to each other, its also the players saying goodbye to them. Although, I guess that depends on if you choose to acknowledge that upcoming comic book (off topic, but I'm not sure if that's going to be any good or not).

So what do people think?
