Oh No! Don't Let the Funky Chicken Take Emma! (Can She Die in Detroit: Become Human?)

Buckle Up, Buttercup: There's a Chance for a Not-So-Happy Ending
Yes, believe it or not, it's entirely possible for Emma to meet her maker in a way that doesn't involve a delightful birthday cake. In fact, there are several ways this unfortunate event can unfold, some more user-error-y than others. Here's how you can unintentionally become the world's worst babysitter:
- Going Robo Rambo: You see a hostage situation, your first instinct is to yell "POLICE BRUTALITY!" and unload a clip into the perp. This might be cathartic, but it's a surefire way to send Emma plummeting.
- Playing CSI: Detroit : While dusting for fingerprints and analyzing blood spatter is all well and good, it takes time. Time that a deranged android with a hostage isn't exactly known for having.
- Becoming the World's Worst Therapist: Look, everyone loves a good heart-to-heart, but if you can't build trust with Daniel, the android holding Emma hostage, well, let's just say the view from up there might not be worth the risk.
But wait, there's more! Not saving Emma can also have consequences for Connor himself. Depending on your choices, his superiors might not be too thrilled with his lack of hostage-negotiation skills, leading to a less-than-ideal outcome for our favorite cybernetic negotiator.
So How Do We Avoid This Sticky Situation? (How to Save Emma)
Now that we've painted a picture bleaker than a Picasso on a bad day, let's talk about how to save Emma and avoid becoming a cautionary tale for future android negotiators. Here are a few tips:
Tip: Focus on clarity, not speed.
- Channel Your Inner Sherlock: Reconstructing the crime scene can be a great way to build rapport with Daniel. After all, who doesn't appreciate a good detective?
- Listen Up, Buttercup! Sometimes the best negotiators are the best listeners. Pay attention to what Daniel is saying, and you might just find a way to de-escalate the situation.
- Think Before You Shoot: This one's pretty self-explanatory. Unless you're aiming for a playthrough where Connor ends up as a hood ornament himself, maybe hold off on the John Wick cosplay.
