There's a scene much later in the game that helps explain the dad stuff a bit and adds a tiny bit of depth but because of how my game played out I didn't even get to see it lol. I read about it though.

i'm curious to see my branch thing. i don't know if the stats are global or PS4 but in mine it said that like 5% of people didn't find the robot in the attic which i found surprising

maybe its at 5% because of people doing a 2nd playthrough trying the different paths and such

that's fair. i kinda want to try to play through quickly now because of that idea. i want the numbers as raw as possible.

that's what i like about playing a telltale game first day, as much as having multiple episodes is nice, because then i get to see the raw numbers

A friend of mine sent me a screen cap of the game that says "CANADA: AN ANDROID FREE ZONE" and I was like "wut" and then I thought about how Canada was like the no slavery place in all the stuff about slaves getting outta the US. I don't know exactly what Cage is going for but I know it makes sense to him.

He copy/pastes tons of things from american slavery and civil rights history. He even has it set up so androids have to use the back of the bus. Being unoriginal is a fair criticism, he doesn't even try to hide it. It does work within the context of the game though and while it can be distracting sometimes the overall game doesn't suffer too much from it. It doesn't ruin the game imo, it just really would've been better if he used original ideas instead.

I laughed at androids in the back of the bus. Like, they're androids. You could curl them into a ball to fit into a bunk or a cubby to save space and be efficient

it took you 3 seconds to come up with a solution that makes more sense and is more original

it would also be more dehumanizing that way. like they're less than black people were before the civil rights movement.

the androids don't have feelings for comfort. giving them leg room and head space makes no sense

i do have one counter argument that i just thought of

they want the androids to be as human-like as possible so that people are as comfortable as possible around them. having them transform into a little cube or some poop to fit easier into a bus would hurt that, so they may very well have been intentionally designed so that they can't do that sort of thing

that doesn't change the way the robots look. they don't need to transform. just fetal position into a cubby. they're out of sight at that point.

a more logical reason would be that they retrofitted buses to have the android section at the back. but retrofitting that many buses would probably be more expensive than buying a new version of the future bus.

if they wanted to make them happy and human to be friendly on the eyes, you wouldn't even stick them in the back of the bus. you'd just let them stand and sit up front like a service dog

just letting them stand anywhere on the bus seems to make sense. just being in one area i guess also makes sense from an efficiency standpoint. where do they go when they are with a human though? do they still have to go to the back of the bus? yeah, they should've just been able to stand anywhere.

my buddy cracked and started another save so he could finish the game on his own. apparently he ended Cara's storyline like 33% into the game somehow.

i want a detective mission where a lady accuses the robot of raping her so a bunch of dudes go around destroying every robot they can find only for her to be busted for lying and then watch the legal proceedings for the property damage case

Yeah you can really end certain storylines early from what I've read online. It's crazy. The game still keeps going and everything but with some pretty big changes.

Your story idea would probably explode the internet, holy poop lol. That's easily the most Cage-way that storyline would go too. If he handled that subject he'd 100% go that route.

He said he failed like 3 QTE's in a row and BOOM DEAD ROBOT. Just done. Toast.

As much as I rip on David Cage, I want to get my terrible ideas to him so he can make them real.
