Endless Summer, Book 3 Choices



This page contains the choices in Endless Summer, Book 3 and their outcomes.

''This game revolves heavily on choices you make. They can improve or decrease relationships with the characters. This walkthrough is made to assist others in helping them make their right choice for the game. Good luck and happy playing!''

Choices that have no outcome on the side have not been explored yet, please help this page by contributing those answers!

Introductory
Welcome back to Endless Summer! If you have not played the first and second book, please do so because the choices you made in the first and second books are very important in the third. If you want to continue through the story without importing your Book Two choices, there is a default button that sets your relationships as they were in the beginning of Book One. If you import your Book Two choices, your relationships with the characters in the previous books will carry over.

Dating
The dating feature for the love interest characters: (Sean, Jake, Estela and Quinn) is carried over onto this book. If you pursued one of them in the previous book, you could have potentially ended at 2 full hearts at the end of Book 2 (with the exception of Quinn). The hearts, as mentioned previously have six stages and the more relationship points you gain with them, the more the hearts will fill in. However many hearts you had with each love interest at the end of Book 2, will be the same amount at the beginning of Book 3. When you choose to date them, you will start with half of one heart. You will also have the opportunity to date all of them at once, but you will have to choose one of them in the end. Moreover, at the end of Act VIII a handfasting ceremony will be held. Handfastings are commonly used in Wiccan and Pagan ceremonies. Nowadays however, the handfasting is more literal: a couple will bind their hands together during the ceremony (before, during, or after reciting their vows), often to symbolize their connection and devotion to one another.

In Chapter 2, it is mentioned how after you've significantly developed your relationship with one of the four love interests your character has been dating, they'll be ready to take the next step. If your character accepts their proposal, then you'll have the opportunity to become handfasted in a lavish ceremony with all of your friends present.
 * .5 heart = You are now dating LI!
 * 1 full heart = LI is now official with you!
 * 1.5 hearts = LI is crazy about you!
 * 2 full hearts = LI is serious about you!
 * 2.5 hearts = LI is in love with you!
 * 3 full hearts = LI is now soulmates with you!

I couldn't even save myself. I had hoped they'd be here when it was my time... But it's enough to know they'll be safe". A shooting star momentarily lights up the sky. "Oh! Oh, there you are!" s/he says, as s/he gazes, her/his eyes wide with a tender, childlike joy "I see you, Quinn. Still swimming merrily along. No matter how strong the tide that pushes against you. And there's Craig! Barreling through everything and everyone just like a rampaging bear! Zahra, off on your own again, little Crow? Ah, but I know that's where you were always happiest... Just like Jake, the lone wolf we all came to love. There's Aleister. That serpentine gaze never quite fit with your kind heart, did it, my friend? Raj! Half man, half magic. Still living his own unique truth... And with him, Michelle, unfurling her colors for all to see. My fearless dragon Estela, my mild and lovely Grace, my loyal Diego... and Sean, watching over them all like the proud, soaring eagle he is. Thank you my friends... for every beautiful day. For all that we shared. You were worth everything and more. It's because of you that I know what love is...". There, alone, but under countless stars, The Endless fades away forever.
