I'm a little lttp (and haven't quite finished the game yet), but can we talk about the fact that androids can't die ? I feel like this is just a massive gaping hole in certain parts of this story. I mean you can disable them and break them etc etc, but at the end of the day you can almost always just fix it and boot it back up again. Hell, you play a reanimated android in the game, and I'm supposed to care about the fact that "humans are killing us" ? Not to mention all the possible "unfortunately I had to kill it" scenarios.
I get that it's probably supposed to be an analogy etc, but the stakes just completely disappear when you replace actual life with artificial life.
The androids can suffer severe enough damage that they are not able to be repaired, and the average android isn't constantly having their memories backed up somewhere like the Connor prototype. So, an android like Kara, Markus, etc. being damaged beyond repair would essentially be their death. That was my understanding, at least.
