Pickles is a snitch and a Functional Addict (certainly compared to his fellow Nuke users) at best. However, he genuinely feels grateful to Officer Briggs and wants to return a watch he stole in hopes of hocking it for drugs.
Pickles does his best to talk up Briggs to the officer's son when he has a gun and reassures the boy that Robocop isn't going to arrest him. You don't even get a prompt to do so with Robocop just giving a thumbs up.
Robocop can later return the favor to Pickles by trying to encourage him to get off of Nuke and taking away the money for his next fix with a statement he's doing it for his own good. note This is actually a terrible idea in real life and would only work if Pickles had access to a clinic to help him through withdrawal if Nuke is anything like other addictive highly substances. Hopefully, Pickles does.
When the police are fired and Detroit is thrown in a city-wide riot, instead of holing up somewhere, Pickles comes to the deserted precinct and volunteers to help with anything. Sgt. Reed assigns him to a phone and he directs numerous distress calls to Robocop, indirectly saving several people. After the long night is over and Murphy arrives to check up on him, Pickles, smiling, admits that, despite witnessing enough tragedy to make him physically sick and being so exhausted he barely managed to drag himself to a holding cell for a nap, helping others definitelyfeels good.
Doctor Olivia Blanche says that she was sent by OCP to help with Alex Murphy's psychology, that everything is completely confidential, and her primary purpose is to look after his mental well-being. Audiences and Robocop wait for the other shoe to drop but, no, in fact she's 100% sincere and only wants to help.
Later, depending on your actions, you can convince her to give Alex a You Are Better Than You Think You Are message that says not only is he human but probably the best of humans.
A teenage vandal can make a beautiful mural of Robocop if Alex chooses to let him go with a warning rather than a ticket.
One early side mission at the police station involves carrying a drunk to the holding cells to let him sleep it off. Once laid on a bed there he will proclaim it home sweet home and Murphy will tell him to sleep tight.
Robocop can tell Maurice, the not very bright and laundry-obsessed drug dealer he imprisoned (assuming he's alive) that he is free from laundry duty and can seek shelter during a prison riot. Maurice refuses because doing laundry is his way of dealing with stress, but it's the thought that counts.
OCP executive, Max Becker, hires a young police officer wannabe named Ulysses Washington who flunked the physical requirements for a police officer. This is solely to spy on Robocop and he's quickly given the reputation as The Mole. Robocop can, instead, train him across several missions to become an exceptional credit to the force. This includes stopping the other officers from sabotaging his weapon and work at the switchboards as well as trusting him to be able to do his job when called upon.
When visiting the Old Man in the hospital, Robocop can comfort him by saying his death was painless and coming back was like waking up from a dream and handing him painkillers when he asks for them.
According to the Old Man's bodyguards, Robocop was the only one who visited him in the hospital.
During the aftermath of "Election Night Riots", Robocop can go around the city rescuing citizens from the various thugs and gang members ranging from the video store clerk to the laundry owner to a grocery store owner. Each time you do, you are told you protected the innocent.
During "Burning Building", you can save numerous tenants in their apartments, including Officer Brigg's wife and child as well as a man who won't leave without his cat. Notably, Officer Briggs’ family tearfully thanks Robocop as the son wasn't willing to abandon his mother but couldn't save her himself.
The Final Boss fight against the crazed Old Man in Robocop 2's body ends with the boss damaged and trapped under fallen debris. As Anne urges Robocop over the radio to leave the collapsing OCP building, the player is presented with three options: abandon the adversary to his fate, finish him off personally... or save him. If the latter is chosen, Robo will proclaim that "There's still one person in the building who needs saving" and shove the concrete slab off him. Both the act and the statement from someone he used to admire allows the former CEO of OCP to calm down and regain his humanity for one last time. Unfortunately, it also places Robocop under much bigger piece of falling concrete he won't be able to evade in time, so the Old Man returns the favor by throwing Murphy to safety, getting himself fatally crushed in the process.
After Officer Anne Lewis is put in a coma due to The New Guy shooting her, one mission in the police station right afterwards is getting signatures for a “Get Well!” card for her. Turns out Lewis has a 100% Adoration Rating among her fellow officers and only five people had yet to sign it before Robocop received it. Aside from Robocop himself, he has to find the officers introduced in the game; Kowalsky, Kurtz and O’Neal, as well as Sgt. Reed. Once the mission is done, Robocop will leave the card in Lewis’ room during his visit to the hospital.
