DEEP FRIED DIARRHEA
Just finished ending E, loved it. I really liked how they allowed you to make an actual (however minor it is in the big scheme of things) sacrifice in order to help others.

That is something that is really cool and unique to games as opposed to a passive medium like books or movies. It just gives you those warm fuzzies and the lead-up with the other players helping you and everything was just perfectly executed. I was moved by it and it's pretty fuckin cool that someone as old as me can be moved by a video game. I knew that a delete-your-save choice was coming and I fully expected to say no, but after that sequence I just went ahead and pulled the trigger. What a gem of a game. Now to play it again to get that last fuckin cheevo goddamit I shoulda done it first!

"At this point some players have run into an issue where the YoRHa units have not reappeared on the map, making it so that they cannot track the rogue androids. Some users have advised that completing the quest The Forest Kingdom will cause the units to become marked on the map once more." maybe that helps ya?

I think his normal attacks are treated as heavy attacks since even in the flight unit, tapping regular attack does a heavy attack.

EDIT: I just realized you can change pod and therefore change attack type during the flight unit segments!

Like, Kyle McCarley is voicing the entire game in his stream. He's doing an impression of Pascal right now and doing his 9S voice to read 9S's text dialogue. It's great.

I'm hoping this will fully convince SE to do more simultaneous PC launches with their new console titles. It's been great having all of the Final Fantasy titles I never got around to playing due to being a console-less pleb on Steam.

Pascal was voiced by Alexis Tipton, who mostly does Funimation dubs.

So, why is Emil refusing to move? I've changed his dialogue to the thief dialogue, but he still exclusively spawns outside the desert. I've walked out of the area and teleported, but he's always in the desert spawn.

Do I need to actually fight him at his house to get him to move? What am I missing here?

Ending D is canon for the first game, and Grimoire Nier has a short story that takes place after it involving them.

Yonah still has the Black Scroll at the end though, so she dies regardless.

It helps that Automata doesn't have to compete with BOTW or Horizon on Steam, I'm guessing there were a lot of PC gamers waiting for this and ME:A.

So weird thing I just noticed, end game spoilers When Eve goes crazy, something similar to the watcher's symbol appears over his heart.

EDIT: Also how do I backtrack Once I'm done with the factory as 2B? There was rubble blocking the way to the locked door, so I couldn't get it then but now I can't go back because the pod won't let me enter the factory and the only other option is to fight Eve

Emil moving to his other routes has nothing to do with the stuff at his house. It seems to mostly be random. I tried at it for ages to no success, went and did other things, and then he moved on my first try the next attempt.

I got him to move. Apparently he just didn't want to leave the desert in the Tower chapter.

You will eventually unlock a Chapter Select option that lets you backtrack and complete whatever you want.

Dang I must have gotten lucky because any time I wanted the traveling merchant to be somewhere in specific, I'd just go there and he'd be there waiting, ready to make a sale.

On the other hand I do think my fishing was bugged out, because I couldn't catch poo poo, but now on new save it's like... instant.
