History TearJerker / DetroitBecomeHuman

** There's a more bittersweet option in the same scenario, in that you can have Connor retain a bit of humanity by [[spoiler: dropping the rifle and walk away since as he states, "killing [Hank] is not part of [his] mission". While no one dies in this scene, it still reflects the damage done to Connor and Hank's relationship and how much better it could have been had you played Connor as a more "human" character]].
* One scenario at Stratford Tower can have Connor be [[spoiler:badly injured by a deviant he's interrogating. If you don't do anything until the timer runs out, Connor will crawl on the floor and even yell for Hank to help him. When Hank finds him, he's visibly distraught to see the "dying" Connor, even calling him ''son''. He'll put Connor on his lap and lay a hand over his head when Connor "dies".]]
** And regardless of whether you're planning to have Connor [[spoiler: become a deviant or stay an android]], his pained calls for help are difficult to listen to.

* Make Connor and Hank have a hostile relationship instead of the FireForgedFriends one, [[spoiler:and it can end with Connor fighting and then coldly dropping Hank off a roof when the latter tries to stop him from executing Markus. If you've witnessed the other, more ideal route their relationship can go, watching this scenario afterwards can be pretty painful.]]

--> [[spoiler:'''Alice''':]] "I love you, [[spoiler:Mom...]]"

-->'''Josh''': You won't save me this time Markus... *Grabs Markus' arm* The blood we spill, will be on our hands.

* If [[spoiler:Carl lives]], Markus has the opportunity to [[spoiler:reunite with him. However, if Markus chooses violence and openly expresses his hatred of humans, Carl becomes utterly broken and disappointed at Markus' downward spiral and dies from the stress. Markus' horrified expression shows his regret that their last moments together ended on such a bad note.]]

* If you refuse to let Chloe [[spoiler:leave the main menu, she will be disappointed and will say that she will stay, but she will wipe her memory to forget the pain, so the next time you see her, it'll be like you just met for the first time.]]

-->'''Josh''': You won't save me this time Markus... *Grabs Markus' arm* The blood we spill, will be on our hands.

* At the recycling plant, Kara has to drag away an android corpse to a dump truck and has to be temporarily separated from Alice to do so, so she promises Alice that she'll be right back. [[spoiler:You can escape the plant on the dump truck, and when it's Alice's turn to get decommissioned, she whispers to herself for Kara to come save her. If Markus's revolution succeeded, in a TimeSkip later, Kara walks the streets of Detroit and stops dead in her tracks when she sees a pamphlet for a [=YK500=] android model, the same one Alice was]]. As popular [=YouTube=] consensus puts it, "you have no soul if you chose this route".

* If Connor dies several times and he has a bad relationship with Hank, one scenario that may happen is [[spoiler:Connor finding Hank in his home, drunk, looking at the picture of his son with a gun ready to kill himself. Hank will say that watching Connor die and come back so many times reminded him of his son and how ''he'' can't come back. If you made some of the "good" choices with Connor, Hank will say he thought maybe Connor was different, but ultimately he's just a machine after all. Connor can try to apologize and reconcile with him, but it's too late and Hank yells for him to get out. Once Connor's outside, he hears a gunshot and is visibly saddened by this, bowing his head and slowly turning to look back as he realizes what just happened.]]

* Make Connor and Hank have a hostile relationship instead of the FireForgedFriends one, [[spoiler:and it can end with Connor fighting and then coldly dropping Hank off a roof when the latter tries to stop him from executing Markus. If you've witnessed the other, more ideal route their relationship can go, watching this scenario afterwards can be hard, to say the least.]]

* If Connor [[spoiler:didn't deviate]], Markus and Connor will end up fighting each other and one of them will end up dead, and you have to choose [[SadisticChoice which one to play as to kill the other]]. [[PlayerPunch Good job, player]], you {{could have avoided this plot}}.

* If Markus died at the freedom march, North will take his place as leader. Even though she follows the beats as Markus would've done, ultimately, [[spoiler:the revolution will always fail]]. [[WeCannotGoOnWithoutYou The revolution cannot go on without you]].

* In "On the Run", if Kara fails the highway run by either failing to move from each lane in time or failing to struggle out of Connor's grip in time, she gets run over. [[spoiler:Alice calls out for her and runs to her body, only to get run over as well]]. Hank reacts in shock and Connor closes his eyes in failure. Why Connor reacts that way is up to your interpretation.

** In yet another scenario at Stratford Tower, Connor may [[spoiler:use his body to shield Hank from gunfire from the same deviant mentioned above. This also causes Connor to die, and Hank is similarly saddened by this as Connor died to save him, with Hank giving several LittleNo's at this.]]
* The part where Connor connects with a deviant [[spoiler:who then shoots himself has Connor in shock, as he felt as though he were dying too, and found that he was actually ''scared'' to die. It's the first major sign that Connor may also become a deviant, and the way he's so visibly distraught at this part just makes you want to give him a hug.]]

* Have Connor [[spoiler:stay with [=CyberLife=] and succeed at killing Markus results in the resistance failing and you killing Hank. When you meet with Amanda, she will reveal to you that you're obsolete and you're being replaced by a newer model. Hey, I mean, you just wanted to complete the mission, right? You've done your part, and the mission goes on without you. What did you expect, a pat on the back?]]
* After you choose to have Markus lead Jericho in a peaceful march, when the military corners you and the others, you have the option to [[spoiler:use the dirty bomb]]. [[spoiler:The military and presumably every human in Detroit will die as the President and the news report on it. In the end, Markus removes his human skin in acknowledgment that his fight for android freedom has come at a cost greater than just fighting the military and leaving their human owners, but killing innocent people and leaving Detroit and its surrounding areas uninhabitable for many years to come.]]

* If Connor's friendship with Hank is low, [[spoiler:Hank will [[DespairEventHorizon commit suicide]] at the end of the game.]]

* The "From the Dead" scenario listed in the NightmareFuel section. Markus is severely damaged, stuck in a dump filled with still conscious androids. While scavenging for parts, he can take a part from a female android who will tearfully beg him not to. Another android asks Markus to kill him. And the entire time, half torn apart androids are attempting to climb out, only to fail.

* [[spoiler: Kara sacrificing herself to get Alice across the border in an ending where the androids' uprising is violent. Not only is her goodbye to Alice as heartwrenching as possible, but the guards execute Kara '''right in front of Alice'''. Luckily, if Kara asked Rose to look after Alice in her stead, Rose will turn Alice's face away, but Kara and Alice still share one last look before the trigger's pulled.]]

* There is an advertisement for a zoo full of robotic animals because the real ones had gone extinct.

** The end of the Markus trailer has him revert to his android colors, the expression on his face clearly distraught.
** The newly uploaded interviews have shown some potentially heart-wrenching scenes.
*** Kara: Alice making Kara promise to never leave her. The next scene shown has the two of them being held captive and forcefully separated, with Alice crying out for Kara and Kara begging the captors to leave Alice alone.
*** Connor: Aggressively interrogating a deviant to admit to killing someone, with the deviant having an emotional break down.
*** Markus: Carl's son, Leo, ridicules his father for seeing Markus as a son, callously calling Markus a "fucking machine" before giving Markus a malicious shove.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RsPsJnA190 This TV Spot]].
** [[spoiler:If Carl dies during the confrontation with Leo, Markus becomes so emotional he says this:]]

The ''entire'' PGW Trailer; [[spoiler:Kara is sent to a household where a father abuses his daughter and severely damaged Kara some time prior to the events of the game. The music only intensifies the emotion]].
