10 Dumbest Plot Reveals In Gaming History

10. Detroit: Become Human - Alice Is An Android Too

Throughout the years, many a piece of science fiction has tackled "Can artificial intelligence replicate human emotion?". Works like Blade Runner, I, Robot and Ex Machina, to name a few. It's a scary prospect, but a relevant topic.

So, trust good ol' David Cage to completely miss the point in one of Detroit: Become Human's story arcs. Connor and Markus' stories are, whilst a bit hammy, somewhat relatable with established interpretations.

Kara's... not so much, and here's why:

She's a robot nanny, programmed for housework and other tasks. Seeing her break her programming and care for Alice is admirable, and has us thinking that she may have learnt human compassion. At least it would have, if not for something to derail it later on.

Something like Alice is also a bloody android.

First off, can't androids sense other androids? You'd think that'd be, like, an inherent software mechanic. But more importantly, it undoes any sentiment for Kara showing human-learnt compassion and protective instinct, because she was never looking after a vulnerable human.

For all we know, it's one android protecting another, borne of in-built command.
