How to unlock the Thicker than Water achievement

    In order to obtain this achievement, you'll have to convince Michael of staying in town in the past time scenes. Doesn't matter if you convince him of breaking up or staying with Clarissa, that doesn't affect the achievement, but it does affect what you'll have to say to him to convince him. I'll explain this now:

    During the three past Michael scenes, use as much related dialog options as possible. Tell him that you'll miss him, question his motives, and, most important, in the last scene, when Michael and Alex talk at home and he asks for your opinion, you'll have to tell him the following, depending on if he and Clarissa are still together.

    - If they are still together, tell Michael "Don't go"
    - If they broke up, tell Michael "Go to school here".

    Also, you can combine this with your "The strong, silent type" playthrough, as the fact of don't talking to Michael at all will make him assume you want him to stay.

    IMPORTANT: This achievement is compatible with every other except for "New Beginnings". If you try to get both in the same playthrough, you'll only obtain "Thicker than water".

    If you meet these requirements, you'll obtain the achievement during the "stat count" before the credits.

    If you do not say anything, in the few instances with your brother, he will be saved.
    I unlocked this as I played through for the strong and silent achievement.
    So basically anytime time rewinds, and you have dialogue with Michael, just let it time out and at the end of the game he will be there.

    There is an extremely easy way to get this achievement. Play through the game however you want to. If, like me, you did not pop this achievement at the end of the game, simply exit the game and dashboard during the credits.

    You will replay a few short sequences and arrive at the scene where Alex and Michael are in their house. If Michael is still with Clarissa, tell him "Don't go" when the dialogue option appears. If he and Clarissa broke up, tell him "Go to school here." If you are doing a silent playthrough, you may remain silent here.

    This will fulfill the necessary requirements for the achievement WITHOUT having to replay the entire game over again.
