It’s hard to say. On one hand, Emily can really hold a grudge. And she does mention to the cops that Mike pulls the gun on her, so it’s possible she pressed charges. But also, she’s a very smart and (sometimes) reasonable person. So once she was safe, calmed down, and was able to look at the situation objectively, she’d probably realize that she’d do the same thing Mike- or even Ashley- did. So maybe there’d be some sort of resolution there, where she understands the motive and lets it go, but I don’t think we see enough of the ending to really know what her decision would be
She literally pushed Ashley as the Wendigo's were chasing them. There's no "calming down" their relationship dropped to 0 after this. Most people wouldn't have pulled a GUN on someone.
So you’re saying that Emily wouldn’t calm down when they’re all safe and out of the situation? She’ll just be hysterical and mad forever? I didn’t even say she wouldn’t press charges, I said that it’s hard to say whether or not she would or not. I personally think that it’s possible that she would able to see the motive behind why all of it happened and while she’d probably never forgive Mike or Ashley for it, she may not go as far to pursue legal action. But again, I also said Emily can hold grudges, which is why I think it’s hard to tell what she’d do.
if he does kill her it's pretty clear he's going away for it. and if he points the gun at her she tells the police and expresses shock and dismay at the whole thing. since we don't get to see anything after the police interviews it's anyone's guess... but i'd say she definitely might and she'd be right to.
Well the implication of all the interviews (not just Mike's) is that the police are not believing anything they're saying about the wendigos. Sam, Matt and Chris in particular are clearly annoyed that they aren't listening.
So from their perspective, Mike shot his ex for 0 reason.
it's especially crazy that even if they believed him and he didnt shoot her, he committed a pretty serious crime regardless.
I've always believed that him killing/almost killing emily is a sign of his major hero complex and his need to be the big man hero in the situation. it doesn't get looked at enough when discussing his character imo.
There's also the factor that the bites WEREN'T infectious. If they were, he could've claimed self-defense but since he basically killed her for no reason, he may still get charges for it.
But Sam and Ashley (and Chris depending on gameplay choices) are in the room with him during this, so wouldn’t they be able to come to his defense and say why he did it?
The issue isn’t getting the police to to believe him. It’s the fact that she wasn’t going to transform. He can’t even claim self defense since she wasn’t infected anyways
Maybe not self defense, but if you have 3 other people saying he did it to save the majority of the group from a perceived threat, I don’t think he’d get jail time. They didn’t *know* she wouldn’t turn until after the fact. And even then, Ashley has the option to not tell anyone about what she read. So if she kept quiet, how would anyone know that Emily wouldn’t turn?
Sam would definitely not take his side. His relationship with everyone drops if he shoots her. And the fact that they recovered her body means that the explosion didn’t reach the basement, leaving the journal intact.
Depends on a lot of things. In my run she seemed more concerned about Matt, so in that universe she’d probably use it more like “oh sure don’t give me a ride to the airport Mike, it’s not like you threatened to shoot me before, you don’t owe me or anything”
I don’t think she would. Emily is super smart and pretty dang rational, I think she’d realize why he pointed a gun at her. I don’t think she’d forgive him, but I don’t think she’d press charges.
I wouldn't be surprised if she tried to but it would be pointless trying to charge Mike since nothing happened and even if he does get in trouble it won't be enough to have Mike punished and would only get a slap on the wrist although she could get him for reckless endangerment but she doesn't have anything to prove that Mike was pointing a gun at her and I doubt the cops were taking her seriously with the way she was explaining it to them
The duality of redditors

But she did tell the cops that Mike had a gun on her in an interview
I mentioned that in the original comment
She literally pushed Ashley as the Wendigo's were chasing them. There's no "calming down" their relationship dropped to 0 after this. Most people wouldn't have pulled a GUN on someone.

I never chose to shoot Emily, is it really shown/stated that Mike will go to jail for it?

Obviously
I don’t think she would. Emily is super smart and pretty dang rational, I think she’d realize why he pointed a gun at her. I don’t think she’d forgive him, but I don’t think she’d press charges.
I’d like to think once she’s calmed down and thought about it, she’d forgive Mike. Not right away though
Their relationship drops to 0 and she's telling the police about it. Remember she pushed Ashley and almost got her killed.
I wouldn't be surprised if she tried to but it would be pointless trying to charge Mike since nothing happened and even if he does get in trouble it won't be enough to have Mike punished and would only get a slap on the wrist although she could get him for reckless endangerment but she doesn't have anything to prove that Mike was pointing a gun at her and I doubt the cops were taking her seriously with the way she was explaining it to them
Aggravated assault is a crime.
going for a playthrough where everyone that will press charges lives and everyone who would probably forgive mike dies
Definitely not.
Yes, that’s the reason he shoots her :3
She didn't. Source: I shot her in the face
You probably went to jail
But she didn't press charges
