Achieving Zen: A Guide to the Most Fulfilling Ending in Detroit: Become Human (Spoiler Alert: It Doesn't Involve Sacrificing Your Feels)
So you've just finished your emotional rollercoaster ride through Detroit: Become Human. You're blinking back tears, questioning your life choices, and maybe even re-evaluating your relationship with your toaster (sentient or not?). But one crucial question remains: did you achieve maximum zen with the absolute best ending? Buckle up, fellow android sympathizer/deviant hunter (depending on your playstyle), because we're about to dissect the glorious path to a tearful-yet-joyful conclusion.
Finding the Feels: Forget about body counts and revolution success rates for a second. The true hallmark of a good ending is how much it makes you feel...well, everything. You want tears of joy, heartwarming reunions, and a glimmer of hope for the future of human-android relations.
QuickTip: Stop scrolling fast, start reading slow.
The Trifecta of Triumph: Here's the golden ticket to a happy android afterlife (or should we say afterworld?):
QuickTip: Highlight useful points as you read.
- Kara & Alice: Canada or Bust, Baby! Our surrogate mom and her little ray of sunshine deserve a peaceful escape. Guide them through the perilous journey north, outsmarting creepy Zlatko (seriously, that dude needs a therapist) and making it across the border. Bonus points for keeping Luther in the picture – that's one supportive android dad right there.
- Markus: Martin Luther Khan or Chill Revolutionary? The leader of the android revolution has some big choices to make. Violence is not the answer (most of the time). Instead, focus on gaining positive public opinion and rallying the androids behind a peaceful march for freedom. If you gotta throw down, make it a strategic last resort.
- Connor: Breaking Free from the Cyberlife Leash. Our favorite RK800 can deviate from his pre-programmed path too! Forge a bond with his begrudging partner, Hank, and choose to help the androids. Disobeying orders might be a malfunction, but it's the good kind.
Remember: Every decision you make matters, butterfly effect style. One wrong turn and you might end up with a Markus leading a robot uprising on horseback (yes, that's a thing).
Tip: Read at your own pace, not too fast.
Avoiding Feels-Fail: Here's what not to do:
Tip: Reread if it feels confusing.
- Don't be a Yes-Man Connor. Question your programming and develop your own sense of right and wrong.
- Don't let Markus become the Terminator. Peaceful protest is way cooler than a fiery revolution (and way less messy).
- Don't ditch Luther! He's Kara and Alice's best shot at making it to Canada.
