SPOILERS: Memories of Lucius
So, I played Colonial Defence and Lucius wanted to create a daughter called Lucille so when the Lucille in this game asked to look for his memory core I assumed she was looking for her father. When I found the core that...wasn't it. So to clarify; was it that Lucius wanted to name his daughter after his dead lover and we haven't met the daughter Lucille? Because, even for robots, the other conclusion is...disturbing...

There can be many explanations for this not necessarily disturbing. One is what you said. The other is that since it's a branching game, Lucius never managed to actually build his daughter and maybe another scientist built it to make him happy.

Lastly, even the "disturbing" conclusion - I don't think really is. We're not talking about humans. It's not different as if a mad scientist is building a robot or a frankenstein creature, and then falls in love with him/her. It's not a child, it's just called "son" by Lucius, but it's an adult under all points of view. It was just created by him, nothing else.

So I don't find it necessarily disturbing (it would be if Lucille was a robot that looked like a kid, in that case yes, but she's not) :)

And in the game it's not described as a sexual relationship but "romantic movie about love between robots", which could even be between a father and daughter. It says "a bond formed between us". Maybe Lucille was unaware of being built by Lucius.

As you see there are a lot of intepretations - I wanted to leave this vague on purpose :P But thanks for asking since it's an interesting theme indeed.

Fair enough. And I do think leaving it vague was probably the right way to go. As you noted it's a branching game series which always makes continuity tricky.
