Confused after Freedom March

[dzvnzm]

Hey! So I was unhappy with my choice to attack the riot police, and went back to redo the checkpoint before it happened. I tried the other two complete options (sacrifice and disperse), and after the sacrifice option (where public opinion of the androids is the highest) Kara's chapter begins with them shooting the android in the street and Rose talking as if the riot police was attacked. I of course chose to save when I redid the checkpoint, but received the same beginning of the Kara episode after doing all three Markus options.

Does anyone know if the Kara chapter begins the same way regardless of which path you take in the Freedom March chapter? Do I need to replay the whole Freedom March chapter again in order for the story to be saved? Or am I just somehow screwed out of choosing a different result after the freedom march? This is my first playthrough, but I don't want to play through the game again in order to pursue the sacrifice option (having the androids be held in high opinion by the public). I don't see myself playing through the game again, so I am trying to tailor this playthrough how I have been hoping things would go.

During my initial playthrough of this chapter I chose to disperse, then they made it sound like they were going to fire. I then panicked and chose attack. I hope I am not stuck with this choice, I want the androids to become human :(

Next time I play I'm going to replay through the whole Markus chapter, I was just hoping someone would be able to give me some insight as to whether the story continues for the Kara chapter differently. I would much rather be able to make some sort of change (hopefully alter a save file, IDK) to pursue the non-civil war option. I really hope I'm not stuck with that.

Thanks for reading, and for your help!

The number of storylines in the game is pretty limited, and no matter what you choose during the "Freedom March" chapter, there will be an escalation in the general plot following it.

My first time playing through the game, I also tried to commit to whatever results I ended up with in each chapter, and not replaying any of the chapters for a "better" result. But in the end, that caused two of the playable characters to die pretty early, and the third one to get the "least-desirable" story ending. It's likely that you'll want to replay the game and deliberately guide the story a certain way to see more of the story (and get the "good" endings, as the writers intended).

Yes, this is something that no matter what your choice is it still happens. Just like the arrived police shooting Markus, it's inevitable since if they don't do it like this there will be way too many endings. Just imagine if Markus hadn't got shot and he followed what Carl said and didn't fight, he may be killed but not dumped at nowhere but instead he would be repaired and continuously be the servant of Carl and nothing would happen.

Markus' deviance is inexorable because the revolution is linked to other characters' stories therefore you can't really change anything in the beginning of the chapter otherwise all the stories will end too soon. I think it's a little bit weird if you just peacefully finishing the Stratford Tower chapter and the Capitol Park chapter since you show no harm to humans, yet the riot police still attacked you.

It's really sad isn't it when both broadcasting your demand on tv, messing up the android store and massive protest make no difference but at the very last moment when the whole Jericho crews were almost killed the humans stop.
