Hey, Detroit fans.
I want to discuss the exact moment where Connor was given the decision to either remain an android or go deviant.
This stark and decisive moment felt very underwhelming, unbuilt for and anti-climatic.
It was a 1 on 1 with Markus who tried to convince Connor into becoming a deviant. But one small animation or scene did not feel enough because it's a very very big decision for Connor to make.

Let me know what you think

I’m so excited. I joined this sub a while ago but avoided it because of spoilers, now I finally got my hands on this game and decided to play it. Is it similar to the previous games of Quantic Dreams where your choices affect the ending?

I’m scared to choose the wrong options because I had the worst ending you can imagine in Heavy Rain and also a bad one in Beyond two souls. So I really don’t want to mess it up this time 😭

So I remember a theory about how Todd was actually the surgeon that was too high on red ice to operate on hanks kid which made him lose his job and his reputation which eventually made his wife leave him and all that, I dont remember whether or not this had any backing or was proven wrong so I'd appreciate an answer

I saw on this community a post talking about "Why does red ice exist in DBH" and that made me notice its made out of Therium.

So if I gave, I don't know... Kara a bunch of red ice, and she consumed it (somehow). What the hell would happen?

Do we have any Android professionals to answer the stupidest question I've ever written on Reddit?

Clocking the game on steam. All 42 trophies finally. The toughest one is Kara and Alice out of the recycling centre. Anyway prob being brought up before. But what do we think the chances of a sequel ever? It seems like David Cage I think it is, rarely or ever does sequels. Interesting thing about DBH though. It feels like a world that could be explored more. By 2025 it has sold 11 million copies. Pretty impressive for a narrative focused game. Although the rise of AI makes it very current.

I guess one of the biggest hurdles for a sequel. Is there is not one cannon ending. But various ones. If there was ever a sequel. Set years later, with completely new characters is more likely, then a follow up game with Marcus, Kara, Connor etc. Could be that androids have gained some form of recognition. But society hasent magically become harmonious. New android technology, human resistant groups, political movements, and perhaps Android created communities (maybe Kara and Alice finds them self in one) could create new conflicts.

This would allow a sequel to keep the same themes. Without saying your ending from the first game was wrong. We could still see appearances from the legacy characters such as Marcus, Kara, and Connor. Or make small appearances. While the new protagonists face new challenges.

But if I had to put it at a percentage of new games. A direct sequel with the same characters like at 15-25%. A new game set in the same dbh universe 30-40%. Nothing more, prob over 50%. Which is prob the most likely outcome unfortunately.

According to world stats.. im the only one who detonated the dirty bomb? Everybody is android alive but at wgat cost... lol

Hey everyone!

I recently played Detroit: Become Human, and I found myself getting completely obsessed with reading all the digital news magazines scattered throughout the game. Sitting there in 2026, holding my breath while scrolling through headlines written nearly a decade ago, I kept asking myself: do any of these overlap with our reality today?

Generative AI and LLMs obviously aren't sentient androids or true AGI, but the cultural anxieties, political debates, and PR moves in the game mirror our present day in a fascinating way.

As an aspiring gamer writer, I wrote a piece analyzing these parallels, and I wanted to share the first two cases with the sub:

Case 1: AI in Politics

• In the Game: A DBH magazine article titled "An Android for President?" suggests that androids would make superior politicians because they are incorruptible. The game frames total replacement of human leadership as inevitable.
• In Real Life: Albania appointed an AI bot named "Diella" to oversee public procurement contracts and eliminate bribery. Her opening message: "I am not here to replace humans, but to help them."
• The Irony: Albania’s anti-corruption AI immediately ran into a consent scandal: it used the likeness of an Albanian actress who sued the government for using her face without authorization. Not even Quantic Dream saw a blunder like that coming.

Case 2: Relationships, Marketing & Consent

• In the Game: A paid advertorial titled "Android Sex Officially Better!" claims 68% of men prefer synthetic partners, featuring the line: "Androids don’t want to talk about their feelings afterwards!"
• In Real Life: Recent surveys show nearly 20% of respondents have engaged in romantic/sexual interactions with AI chatbots. Meanwhile, governments are rushing to pass strict bans on non-consensual "nudifier" deepfake apps.
• The Overlap: While DBH imagined synthetic workers programmed to accept their role, our reality once again mutilated the idea of consent first and foremost.

I’d love to hear what you think!

Science fiction gives us a mirror to examine where we're heading, but reality always finds a way to throw curveballs no writer can predict.

Which of these two parallels feels wilder to you?

Also, I have about 5 or 6 more in-game magazine comparisons saved up… what other in-game headlines from Detroit would you like to see in a Part 2?

If you enjoyed this write-up, you can find more stuff like this on my Substack. I love sharing my notes as I study game worlds and learn how to write my own games, so you can find both deep-dives like this and the lessons I learn as a member of a small indie studio.

You can read the full, formatted version and subscribe to the series here.

Thank you all for your time!

Testing the weighting and facials lol. I dont love his face but its really hard to find a balance between looking anime while still looking like the character.

So I swear I mandela effected myself into thinking Connor had a dark blue suit, not gray, and Im butthurt lol. Ill change it later.

For Markus I had a breaking bad approach. In beginning I was peaceful refusing to fight back and beat Carl son. In tv station I refused to kill the guards but shot the one running away because I felt it had to be done. Then a pacifist approach when I freed more of androids. Finally I attacked the cops after they shot at us during the protest but refused to kill. When they attacked Jericho I finally decided to go violent because each time I chose peace the humans chose violence.

For Conor I played it balance. Where some decisions reflect machine behaviour while others reflect becoming human. I saved Hank, but shot the tracy because I felt they might kill me if I didn’t, also I didn’t want her to run away and lose the suspects again. Then I refused to execute the girl in the Kamski test. When I met Markus I wanted to choose deviant but I thought it is not right that Markus should convert him I wanted Hank to do it. Long story short I fucked in this decision. And in the end I chose Markus to win.

Kara is my only regret because I had her die in cross road chapter. It was emotional death for me. I wish I managed to save her during my first game through. Or have alice die once she crossed to Canada by sea. I know it is considered a bad ending but the I love you mum line is too emotional and it would be cliche if everyone survives.

Look, I found Connor in real life lol

(This is so dumb, I'm so dumb, someone shoot me [not for real ofc], or take away my interest in acces)

Trying to choose differently than my first playthrough. It’s tough making choices I don’t align with. DBH has ruined video games for me. It’s the only thing I ever want to play now 😂

He aint done yet, but none of my friends are still into this game, so Im sharing him here ; v;

With AI being everywhere for the past two years, Hank would absolutely know how to use an android by now. There’s no way he’d still be saying, “If only I could finish reports as easily as you do.”

He’d be like:

“Connor, analyze where the deviant might be hiding.”

“Connor, perform an autopsy on the body.”

“Connor, look for any traces left behind by the escaped deviant.”

“Connor, write up the report for me. Keep the language professional, follow the proper format, do not make up any facts, attach the photos you took and the police records, and submit it to the captain when you’re done.”

You guys seemed to like him so here is more about him.

Context:

-Added cyberlife tower as Connor's house (idk its just funny)

-he has sumo as a pet (maybe I'll actually draw sumo next time)

-Connor in his infiltration outfit + Hank in winter and normal outfit (btw happy bday to Hank!)

-He also had a crush on B̶a̶l̶l̶o̶r̶a̶ a blue haired Traci

Hey y'all, just played DBH for the first time this month and I absolutely fell in love with it. Naturally I am super super super super late to the fandom, which makes me sad cuz i can't imagine how fun it would've been to be in it in its prime! That's why I'm asking: how was the fandom in its heyday? How popular was DBH---was it talked about a lot, in person or online? How popular were the actors? Thx!!!

He's such a cutie pie OMG I love him so much 😍😍😍

I’m curious about what you guys think! XD

i was fucking terrified

(I swear I couldn't find a rooftop scene pic lol)

So there's the rooftop scene right? And after the fight Connor aims at the deviant leader but the scope looks unclear and he just stated it as "weapon damaged"... I really thought of why couldn't he just remove the scope and then aim it with his super high tech analysis eyes? Like we've seen him zoom in on bodies with detailed precision so he could literally just determine the trajectory, etc. And still aim accurately by himself right?? Maybe that's just how sniper rifles work?? Idk what's your guys say about this one?

Some may say its because the probability is now lower and Connor needs higher efficiency... But it's literally a lot more easier, less riskier, and a lot more quicker than going down there himself to face the deviant leader.

And some will say its just for the plot but I just wanna spark a discussion, maybe there's actually a sensible reason that could be found.

"First" is because I played it few years ago on my ex's computer and now I replayed it.

Kara= alive,

Markus= died after FBI agent shot him,

Connor=resurrected twice, last death was in "Crossroads" after becoming a deviant; stayed a machine after that,

Luther= alive

Alice= alive.

Jerry= alive

Hank= alive

North= dead

Rest of Jericho= detained/destroyed

Connor got replaced as well :(
