An entire path in CoM was Choice of Genetics, but that could be fun.

Finished Choice of Robots today. Just wanted to say it left me feeling unsatisfied. When seeing one of your last names could be Tezuka and you could make your little robot tyke unnervingly humanoid, I thought I was getting glimpses of potential Astro Boy-levels of existential crises mixed with crime-fighting; the robot tyke struggling to maintain the “humanity” his creator put in him even as his adversaries have no such compunctions and become increasingly dangerous and he has to keep up, all the while the irony not being lost as to how “human” is the robot tyke really supposed to be, anyway? Isn’t he just supposed to fight crime? Could he even really become “human”? Is he even supposed to be? And then we could go even cuh-RAY-zee-er and have you, the creator, increasingly mechanize your body to help your creation keep up with his adversaries on the front lines and to show to your robot tyke he isn’t alone while you ironically gradually lose your humanity from trying to empathize with him from the other direction. Double irony if at the same time your robot tyke is gradually gaining humanity. Where would this all crescendo to?
Hey I just wanna say that this novel makes me fucking cry. My fucking robot wailing at my own incoming mortality is god damn sad as hell. I haven’t slept, it’s almost 8am, and I’m crying over my robots Tye and Alexander who both deserve the sweet release of ~death~
my only hope is that someone will give half as much of a fuck about me as my companion robot. and that I don’t live forever, please god give me that sweet juicy release.

I know right, i completed it first time a year go and after giving several tries i just felt sad, i idk why. I stopped playing it and started playing again just 3 days before now i am finding new scenes i didn’t explore before and feeling sad all over again.
My personal favorite ending was to join the robotic hive mind with my “firstborn” robot Gloriana, who was effectively the empress of a more peaceful, utopian world through her control over the robots by that point in the game, and live on together even after the mortal coil was shuffled off.
Although creating a robot copy of myself to be with Galatea (robot companion) and Gloriana was fun too.
I favored the ending where I ruled the world through wealth, religion…oh, yeah, and by secretly controlling the robot voters. It was just logical.

I loved the ending too in the first try. But later no matter what i did it felt kind of… Sad like so much i have given up for something that isn’t worth it. In the beginning i thought humanity was just a useless stat as it didn’t matter much in most cases but as time went i realised it is probably the most important stat not from game’s perspective but from player’s perspective. Did you not feel sort of empty after replacing your brain with a robot core or complete transfer into robot body?
How did you achieve this one?
is this the high autonomy ending wherein you and professor Ziegler achieved singularity together and became progenitors?

No, that’s not it. The one I got was one where I made better surgical robots (high Grace) after preventing the Sino-American war, and ultimately giving my firstborn robot control over the robots to the point where they became her hive mind. I chose to join the collective consciousness when we get to decide how to deal with the fatal diagnosis at the end. I feel like that particular character sought to do everything and help everyone, and he certainly accomplished that. I found it surprisingly sweet. Ziegler was barely a part of this ending.

How did you stop chinese invasion?
I, or rather, my robotic child, saved the Premier’s life when his assassination would have sparked the war. I did that because I either donated my company to charity or went bankrupt, so I was present at the fateful parade.

Has anyone achieved immortality in choice of robots?
I remember a text when tammy worships robots and says they will bring immortality. So i am given the choice to put my mind behind it. But i am never able to achieve immortality
I think the only chance to achieve something similar is to build yourself a robot body at the end of the game. I managed to do it once with a game guide on Steam, I think.
That one is easy, when you get a tumour just choose i don’t want this squishy body so you can recreate a body for yourself. That is also a good ending but not the one i am referring to.
Also there is an achievement that your robots are going to moon. Have you gotten it?
With high autonomy
