Probably better just to forget about that little exchange. I mean, he's openly flirted with Zero before and I'm pretty sure it's implicit that they've had sex. And Zero doesn't do that whole mind-control bull. I really don't see any reason he'd be gay besides kinda being a pretty boy I guess? It's a pretty silly theory honestly

Momomo posted:Considering the Dark Id has already mentioned the One manga, I guess I'll say it: No. "If you're interested in more of the future adventures of Brother One, there is the Drag-On Dragoon Shi ni Itaru Aka manga which chronicles an alternate timeline which shoehorns the guy into the events leading up to the original Drakengard." As far as I know Ending A leads into the manga, the manga leads into Drakengard 1. So it is "canon" in that sense. Which may refreshingly make this the most redundant spoiler tag in the thread.

The DLC is changing my opinions on a lot of things, but mostly i just wish I had played this before unlocking all weapons. These are so much more lucrative than anything in the main game.DeafNote posted:if we are talking about Intoners in more casual settings I really like these a lot. I feel pretty hit or miss on Setz' work in general, but all the Drakengard stuff seems spot on. (I also appreciate him drawing other bad games that I like though)

Put Nowe in second place and take General Gismor off and that list checks out. The gently caress, Japan? Gismor was awesome. His life's goal was making GBS threads on Nowe. What wasn't to like? Anyway update later. Not decided what we're gonna start with next so we'll do something a bit different instead. Mikhail's Story and his adventures in finding the legendary meat! Edit: gently caress DG1 archers.  vvv

It says something about these games that noted young boy aficionado Leonard didn't even make it into the top ten. Also I have literally no idea who the hell Gismor is so I'm going to assume he's from D2, because I don't even remember the basic plot of that game beyond "dragons are machiavellian assholes. nowe is some kind of Kwisatz Haderach brought about by dragons. Caim kills Death and has murdered the poo poo out of Verdelet by the time the game starts".

Leonard was one of the most moral characters in the series  He recognized that his inclinations were wrong and isolated himself from society because of that - I think it's mentioned that he didn't act on them either. He also did one of the only selfless things any Drakengard character did when he sacrificed himself to the Watchers to save Caim & co. so he's cool in my book.

Veredelt might be one of the most worthless characters in any game. He contributes nothing to either the gameplay or plot. There are lots of characters that do that, but Veredelt never shuts up. Despite being useless in every single way he has more lines than anyone else in the game. There's literally no reason for you to be dragging his old rear end across the map but for some reason you just have too.

It should say something that neither Eris nor Legna made it on the list, the only two major characters from D2 not to. That's because they're the only ones with half-competent brains.

He survived the burning of his isolated hut (which killed the kids he was watching) because he ran into the forest to polish the shaft since he wanted to avoid doing anything to the kids. I think?

I love how Verdelet got more votes than every other character combined. I think that says more than any words can (though I am curious about those comments). Speaking of which, what were the results for the most liked characters? I'm curious to see how far our favorite sociopath got on that list.

Sometimes I wonder if, after Caim, Nowe and Manah were deliberate attempts at making the player hate the main characters more than anything. It would indeed be a troll move worthy of Cavia.

I think I would prefer a smug prick over a whiny prick. At least that way no one's complaining when you inevitably dump them into a ditch. Then again no one complains when you use a whiny prick as a meatshield. So win-win on the body count.

Verdelet did diddly squat. He wasn't a funny character, didn't drive the plot forward and was a weak character gameplay wise. Even his eugenics ramblings were tiring after hearing them a hudred times. He didn't even get his own ending in Drakengard. Everyone else was crucial, Verdelet was there.

Mikhail's Story: Our Mistake  Rrragh!The scream startles me awake, though I'm still tired and want to keep sleeping. Something hurt. Something hit my chin really hard. Oh, it's Zero's foot. Zero? Hey, Zero. What's the matter? <nudges Zero> Are you okay? Does it hurt?I bet she's hurting a lot if she's making this much noise while sleeping. I bet it hurts so much that she can't lie still. Zero's been hurt bad. It must hurt in her dreams, too. Zero! Hey, Zero! I'm tired. Shut up. But you were screaming. You were screaming a lot. Shut it. And stop repeating yourself.She sounds really grumpy. She must be hurting a lot... She's not grumpy because she's tired, is she? I hate to see Zero in pain like this. My chest tightens up just watching her. What'll make you better? Tell me. ..... Come on, Zero, tell me what'd make you feel better. Huh? I figure eating meat and sleeping should do the trick. Eating meat will make you better? Yeah, so shut up and let me sleep. Okay, you got it.I get it. Eating meat will make Zero all better. I feel great after I eat a lot of meat, so that makes sense. I'm gonna go get tons of meat, okay? I'm gonna get you lots of meat. All right already... Stop repeating... yourself... Um, Zero? ..... Did you pass out from the pain? Are you okay? Are you okay? <snore>I leave the cave as quietly as I can, so I don't wake Zero up. It's still the middle of the night, but it's surprisingly bright outside because of the moon. There's a moon in the sky and one on the water. I need to find some meat before Zero wakes up. I want to give her the meat as she wakes up, a nice little breakfast. I hope I can find some yummy meat. A super-duper-yummy meat that'll make Zero all better in a jiff! You know, the type where a light shines down when you take a bite, or where Zero powers up. Okay! I'm gonna look for some legendary meat! Let's go!  I took off all excited, but I have no idea where to go. Where can I find some meat that'll fix Zero right up? I thought for a long time while looking at the moon on the water. I thought real hard. Meat... meat... meat... The water... meat... water... Water? Wow, there's plenty of fish near the surface of the water. The moon's making them look all shiny and special. I wonder if they'll make Zero better. Maybe I should catch some. Wait, fish won't do. Zero said she hates fish. I remember a time when I brought back some fish with blue scales and Zero didn't look too happy. I asked her if she didn't like them and she said, "I don't like mackerel..." while looking away. She said something about how they reminded her of something, but what could that be? Did she get sick from eating them before? Anyway, fish won't do. Eating something you don't like only makes you feel worse. That means I need to look somewhere besides the ocean. I fly away from the ocean. I fly and fly and fly until my wings feel like they're gonna fall off. Before I knew it, it was morning. Then, when I looked below... I was in the desert. It looks like I made it to the Land of Sands without thinking. Sand, sand, sand everywhere you look! I wonder if the Land of Seas would look like this if all the sand dunes got bigger and bigger to the point where they fill up the oceans. The Land of Sands is huge but there's no sign of meat anywhere. I could've at least found a crab if this were a sea shore. I flew around and around and only saw humans, so maybe the animals here all like clams that dig into the sand or something. I guess humans are technically meat, so I can't really say that I didn't find any meat. But I don't like the idea of seeing Zero eat something that looks like her. I'm sure Zero wouldn't like it either... I'll just have to fly farther to find some meat that's not fish or human. I bet I need to go waaay out there to find some legendary meat, I'm sure of it. I'm looking for legendary meat. How could meat be "legendary" if it were easy to find, anyway?  I fly and fly and fly until I'm completely tired and look down... Ow!I flew full force into a boulder. Head first. I didn't know I was getting so close. I was looking down the whole time. I need to keep my eyes forward while flying... Oh, I must be in the Land of Mountains, then. Hey, now that I look around, there's plenty of meat here! There're cows, sheep, and goats all over the place! Wow! Wow! I should've come here first. I'll just catch a cow... Just you watch! It'll be easy to catch a cow with so many around! Hehe. I caught the biggest cow. I'm amazing, aren't I? Now that I think about it, I haven't had anything to eat since morning. I'm really hungry... and I really like beef! Time to eat!Wow, this is really good! The meat's soft and just melts in your mouth. And it's not too greasy It's so tasty. It's really tasty. This might be the best beef I've ever had! Ah, I ate it...I'm not supposed to eat it! I'm not! I'm supposed to give it to Zero to make her feel better! Okay, one more! I won't eat this one. I'll catch the next biggest cow and take it back to Zero. Yeah, I'm gonna take it back... Huh?I was gonna catch the second biggest cow, but then I realize there are people behind me. I turn around to see a grandpa and grandma on the verge of tears... Now I remember! Zero said there are things called "farms" all over the Land of Mountains. She said they raise cows since they can't grow wheat here. Could this be a "farm"? And could those cows be... theirs? That has to be it... Awww! I'm soooorrryyy! I'm really sooorrryyy!I shouldn't steal things! Ever! I fly off to another country to find some meat; not fish, not human, and definitely not somebody else's meat.  Somewhere where there aren't a lot of people would be good. That way, I wouldn't have to worry about accidentally stealing something. I hate causing problems or troubling people. Somewhere with very few houses, but not like the Land of Sands where there're no animals around... So, I head to the Land of Forests. I should be able to find some meat here without stealing. I hear birds chirping here and there, so I think there's plenty of animals nearby. I think I'll land and take a look around. The trees get in the way, so I can't see anything from up here anyway. But, boy, it's tough flying around the Land of Forests. The tree branches get in my way and make terrible sounds when I break them.  Hey! Don't come down without permission!Huh? Was that a voice? Was it saying I can't land? Must be my imagination. Hey! I'm talking to you, rear end face!Oh, he must not be talking to me. I'm not an rear end face, I'm a dragon. Can you hear me? You smelly, stinky, unsightly dragon! What!? There's another dragon? Where? Where? I'm talking about you, stupid! Hey, that's not nice! I'm not unsightly! I'm really not! Hmmm, you have a point. Let me rephrase that, then. You're an abhorrent, repulsive, slack-jawed, dumbass dragon! Ab... abhor...? Um... are you making fun of me? And who are you, anyway? Oh, this is rich! You're a dragon and don't know what a faerie is!? On top of being abhorrent, repulsive, slack-jawed, and a dumbass, you're clueless and ignorant? Why don't you do us all a favor and just die? You shouldn't say things like that. You really shouldn't. What? Ever heard of "once a fool, always a fool?" Huh? The only way to cure your stupidity is for you to die. So hurry up and die already! Stop it. He's right, you know? You shouldn't use the word "die" so easily.Is that a girl? It's a girl faerie. What a relief. This faerie seems nice. And as for you, what are you doing here? I'm looking for some legendary meat. I see. If that's the case, you can find some over there.I look over to where the faerie is pointing to, and there's some round thing near the top of a large tree. I think it's about the same size as Zero's head. Maybe it's a little bigger, but it's definitely different from what I imagined. It's so small, I don't think it'd fill Zero's tummy up at all. She'd finish it in one bite. That's the legendary meat? It's awfully small. No matter how small, a legend is a legend. Now, go on and take it. Oh, really? So a legend's a legend, huh? I forgot to mention that the legendary meat is firmly stuck to the tree. You'll need to give it a strong and firm tug to pull it off. Got it? Okay, I got it. Thank you. I never knew legendary meat grew on trees. Huh? I think I hear a buzzing sound. Or am I imagining things? Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!The faerie nags me on, so I bite on the legendary meat and pull really-- Owww!!Something's stinging my mouth! It's stinging me! Something's buzzing! Ow, ow, ow, ow! He fell for it! I can't believe he really fell for it! What a pitiful dragon! So how's a beehive taste? Does it taste good? Huh, does it? Hahahahahaha!They tricked me! That's mean! That's really mean! At least that's what I wanted to say, but I can't with all these bees in my mouth. Oh, poor little dragon. You're so dumb and ugly, it's pitiful. You're just so disgraceful and stupid, it's sad. Hahahahaha!Ow, ow, ow, ow! The bees are coming after me! It wasn't my fault, I swear! Stop it! Stop it! I decide to run away.  I ran and ran and ran, and flew and flew and flew... until I realized I was back at the ocean. The bees aren't after me anymore. Phew, that was a close call! But why did the faeries do such a mean thing? How can they be so mean when they're so small and cute? They acted like a bunch of big ol' bullies. No, they can't be bullies. Maybe it's because I broke all those tree branches in the forest. Maybe they just wanted to teach me a lesson for breaking all those branches. That's it. That's got to be it. There's no way they'd do such mean things without a reason. At any rate, the sky and water are all red, so that means it's already sunset. I'm sure Zero's worried about me, so I should head back.I wasn't able to find the legendary meat after all that searching. I guess it was just too tough for me to find on my own. But I wanted Zero to get better quick. I let out a big sigh and look down. There's something splashing in the water. That's way too big to be a fish... right? It has big silvery scales, a long body, and a big tail. It's a sea serpent!It's not a fish, a human, or someone else's right!? But, wait a minute. Sea serpents are a type of sea snake, so it's a fish? Nah, that's not right. They're snakes of the sea. They're monsters, not fish! I wonder if I can take on a big one like that.Could it be bigger than me? Nah, that's impossible. It's impossible. Aaagh! It's hissing at me! It's hissing! I-I'm not scared! Not one bit!I am for the sea serpent and let out some fireballs. I can attack without getting close this way. But then... Hey, no fair!The sea serpent dived into the water. I guess fire won't work. I'm gonna need to kick it or bite it. But that means I need to get close enough to touch it. It might fight back and hit me... No... I'm gonna do this for Zero! It's for Zero!I need to try really hard so Zero can get better. I'm gonna get some meat for Zero! I take a deep breath and fly towards the sea serpent. Rrragh!I kick the sea serpent's head with everything I have, causing water to splash. I feel my claws hit something heavy. Take this! And this! And this!I kick, and again, and again. Ah! It's wrapping me up! It's wrapping me up!I was so focused on kicking the sea serpent that I didn't notice it wrapping its tail around my belly. That hurts! It hurts! Lemme go! Stop it!It's trying to pull me under with everything it's got. I shake my body around trying to fight back. Why, you!I bite through its scales and my fangs slowly pierce the sea serpent's head. I swallowed some sea water and almost choked, but I didn't let go. Zero! Zero! Just you wait! I'm gonna bring you some meat.  The sea serpent was a lot tougher than I thought it'd be and it was dark by the time I finally killed it. It was the middle of the night by the time I got back to our hideout. Zero was mad at me for leaving without saying anything... No, she wanted to get mad at me, but then she saw the sea serpent I brought back and I guess that didn't matter anymore. Did you kill this? I sure did! Praise me, Zero! Praise me a lot!Zero opens her eyes wide and stares at the sea serpent. Uh-huh, it's amazing, isn't it? I beat a monster bigger than me! Let's eat! You'll get better in a jiff if you eat lots of meat, right?Hm? Did I just hear something splash? Hey... are you sure this thing is dead? You did finish it off, didn't you? Finish it off? I knew it. This thing's just been faking it the entire ti--Whoa! The sea serpent just knocked Zero back with its tail! It was dead just a second ago! It was all limp and stuff! Whaaa!? What's going on? What's going on? Shut up, stupid dragon!Ah! The sea serpent's getting up! It's hissing! So it was alive!? I guess that's obvious now, but... Can't you see that it's not dead, you idiot!? I... I'm sorry!I need to do something. I need to beat it up again... I'm sorry! It's strong, Zero! It's really strong!It's strong even though we're not in the water. And it's using its tail to hit us! Oooh, our hideout's gonna fall apart! Ah! The tail hit me again! Goddammit! I hosed up. I should've never told you such a bullshit lie that eating meat would make me feel better! What!? You lied to me!?That was mean. I tried real hard to find the legendary meat for you! I searched all over the desert and forests even! That's mean! You're mean, Zero! You big fat liar! Shut up and fight already! I got it. I got it. You don't have to say it twice!Owww! Zero kicked me in the chin again! But... it looks like Zero's feeling better, right? I mean, she's going wild in here. So the sea serpent really was the legendary meat, after all. I felt a slight sense of joy in between getting kicked by Zero and getting hit by the sea serpent's tail. ***** Thanks to my dumbass kid for contributing to his old man's dumbass hobby.
