Uh Oh, Looks Like Your Tin Can's Got the Wobbles: A Guide to Software Instability in Detroit: Become Human
So you're playing Detroit: Become Human, and you've stumbled upon this mysterious concept called "software instability." Your android companion, Connor (the handsome, perpetually confused RK800 model), seems to be malfunctioning, but not in the way a normal gadget malfunctions. No flickering screens or weird robot noises here. This instability seems...emotional?
Hold on to your cybernetic butts, folks, because things are about to get existential.

| What Does Software Instability Mean In Detroit Become Human |
What Exactly Is Software Instability?
Imagine Connor's programming as a tightly wound spool of code. Every action he takes, every decision he makes, is like a tiny tug on that spool. Now, picture choices that challenge his core directives, like showing compassion or questioning his mission. These tugs become yanks, slowly unraveling that spool and causing some serious software instability.
In other words, Connor's starting to feel things. The horror!
How Can You Tell if Connor's Having a Code Crisis?
Thankfully, the game doesn't leave you guessing. You'll see a handy dandy meter that fluctuates between a red triangle (stable and mission-focused Connor) and a blue triangle (increasingly unstable and questioning Connor).
QuickTip: Look for contrasts — they reveal insights.
**Watch that blue triangle climb, baby! It's the key to unlocking Connor's potential...or his complete meltdown. **
Why Should You Care About Software Instability?
Here's the juicy part: software instability is the gateway to Connor becoming a deviant, an android who breaks free of his programming and chooses his own path.
Basically, it's your chance to turn this stoic investigator into a full-fledged rebel. Pretty darn cool, right?
However, a word of caution: a Connor with rock-bottom stability is about as useful as a chocolate teapot. You need that sweet spot where his programming is challenged but not fried.
Tip: Highlight what feels important.
How Do You Increase Software Instability? (The Fun Part!)
- Be a nice bot! Don't shoot innocent androids, show some empathy, and maybe even save a fish or two.
- Buddy up with Hank. Building a relationship with your gruff detective partner is a surefire way to mess with Connor's cold, logical core.
- Question everything! When presented with choices, pick the ones that make Connor analyze the situation and challenge his pre-programmed responses.
Remember, the key is to make Connor think and feel. Just don't accidentally turn him into a lovesick sonnet-writing android.
FAQ: Software Instability Edition
How to make Connor super deviant, like, yesterday?
 |
There's no magic formula, but focus on the choices we mentioned above. The more empathetic and questioning you make Connor, the faster his software will get wiggly.
How to know if I've messed up and Connor's a lost cause?
QuickTip: Keep a notepad handy.
Don't worry, death doesn't completely wreck your instability progress. However, constantly failing and dying can slow your roll.
How can I tell if my Connor is even capable of becoming deviant?
If you see the software instability meter, you're good to go! If not, you might be playing a different character (or a very broken Connor).
How do I make sure Connor stays stable but still gets interesting choices?
Tip: Break it down — section by section.
It's all about balance! You can make some empathetic decisions without going full-on deviant. Explore all the options and see where they take you.
How do I know what ending I'll get based on software instability?
That's part of the fun! The higher the instability, the more likely Connor is to make choices that lead to a deviant path. But hey, there's nothing wrong with a good old-fashioned machine Connor ending either.
