So You Want to Romance North? A Guide for the Love-Struck Android (and You)
Let's face it, Markus isn't exactly brimming with romantic options in Detroit: Become Human. Between saving his fellow androids and fighting for their freedom, there's not a whole lot of time for candlelit dinners and serenade serenades (though I wouldn't mind seeing a Chloe route, Quantic Dream, just throwing that out there). But fear not, for the fierce and fabulous North might just be your cybernetic soulmate.
However, wooing this warrior woman requires a delicate touch. You can't just waltz in with a bunch of digital roses (although, a metaphor about blooming sentience could be interesting...). Here's a crash course in getting North to see you as more than just a fellow revolutionary:
| How To Romance North Detroit Become Human |
Step 1: Be a Badass
QuickTip: Look for contrasts — they reveal insights.
North isn't impressed by the faint of heart. She wants someone who stands up for what they believe in, even if it means facing down a platoon of armed guards. Agree with her more forceful plans, show her you're not afraid to get your metaphorical hands dirty. Just be careful not to go full-on villain; there's a fine line between righteous rebel and psychotic renegade.
Step 2: Trust is Key (But Not That Kind of Key)
North's been through a lot. She doesn't trust easily, and for good reason. Earn her respect by being honest and upfront with her. When the opportunity arises, choose the dialogue option that emphasizes trust. This might involve a heart-to-heart on a rooftop overlooking a dystopian Detroit (classic move).
QuickTip: Scroll back if you lose track.
Step 3: Don't Be a Jerk (Seriously, Don't)
This one should be a no-brainer, but just in case your coding got a glitch: be kind and compassionate. North cares about her fellow androids, so show her you do too. Helping others is a surefire way to her heart.
QuickTip: Stop scrolling fast, start reading slow.
Step 4: Embrace the Power of Touch
Now, this doesn't mean anything creepy. When the moment is right, there's a specific gesture you can perform to connect with North on a deeper level. Let's just say it involves a bit of emotional data transfer. (Don't worry, it's not like you're swapping processor cores)
Congratulations! You've unlocked the North romance route! Now, go forth and fight for android freedom (and maybe steal a few smooches along the way).
Tip: Stop when confused — clarity comes with patience.
Bonus Tip: If you mess up, don't worry! There are opportunities to redeem yourself throughout the game. Just be persistent and show North you truly care.
