Presented in the first chapter as one of Max’s best friends, Warren is practically the only nice guy of Blackwell Academy, the high school where the game takes place. But the character slowly makes it clear that he is not necessarily interested in friendship, and at one point his intentions are so evident that other characters start talking about it to you.

There’s a whole Warren’s debate on the internet, because, while some see him as a creepy, others understand that he behaves the way any teenager in love would do. I think this disagreement depends on how the story is conducted. When you start playing, you see the following warning:

"Life is Strange" is a story based game that features player choice, the consequences of all your in game actions and decisions will impact the past, present and future. Choose wisely…

Part of these decisions is related to Warren. If you show him some interest, probably his attitudes are not going to bother you, otherwise, he will develop into an annoying and insistent guy who can’t understand the concept of friendship.

I was on the second team and didn’t want anything more than friendship, so I was getting more and more frustrated with the guy’s behaviour. He keeps complaining about the things he did to help you and all the time insists in asking you to the cinema. He makes points about his discomfort in relation to your relationship with other people and sends weeping texts suggesting that you “owe” him for saving you.

Depending on how you deal with Warren, his behaviour worsens, but since the beginning it’s possible to notice that he is not that much of a nice guy. For instance, if you accept his first invite for going out, he will think it was too easy and also throws in your face that he had already invited another person; in case you refuse, you will hear him call you a “dirty human” — a reference to the movie they would see, "Planet of the Apes".

Reading about it on the internet, I found out that he even spies on Max. On the image bellow, for instance, it is possible to see Warren looking at the girl’s bedroom at 7 a.m. It’s so subtle that I didn’t even notice when I played.
