Preposterous! What's the point in destroying concepts that further the survival of the species in the name of liberty?". Am I doing this right? I can have moments of... eccentricity and sometimes be quite curious about things. Please forgive me if I do something foolish or rude.

I'd forgotten how Adam cranks up the ham and the crazy to 11 in this part. It's great.

During one of the semi-cutscene bits where you can hit him but it won't get to the next phase until he's done talking, he does have a health bar and you can deplete it. But he just fills it back up after you run it out. And yes, Copied City. As I said before, my favorite track from the game. And good point that Pascal's village has basically done what he did here - emulated humanity and disconnected from the network. Except that apparently he's set up permadeath mode, while they didn't despite lack of network. On the other hand, they just emulated minor details of humanity like family structure, while he's focused on the important parts of humanity, like that we can kill things. The ability to murder is what truly separates us from machines.

He reminded me a lot of Accord in the initial reveal, glad i wasn't the only one. Though generally I expect a little more out of villains these days than that they just be batshit and wanting to kill because they can. Adam pulls off being a huge creeper with remarkable aplomb, but I'm left wondering what his deal even is and why. He doesn't have any connection to anyone or anything to do with the war or any stakes in the whole situation, he's just this rear end in a top hat doing his own thing and then butting in and forcing you to fight him just because. Though I guess I shouldn't assume there's not more going on we're not aware of yet. Poor 9S though, going directly from getting blown miles through the air to impaled with poles by a psycho. He's just not having a good day.

So on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being Pascal and 10 being Caim, where would you all say Adam ranks on the Murdometer right now?

He's probably like a Kreia or so. He hasn't really properly gotten into murder yet. A Caim on the scale doesn't monologue or drag anything out. It's just murder. Most villains can't make it anywhere near that, because they love the sound of their own voice, talking about their plans and philosophy or whatever.

I actually never noticed when I was playing that Adam's voice actor is Crispin Freeman who used to be known for really delivering crazy hammy characters. He'd been out of the industry for a while (apparently due to medical issues) so it' was a surprise to hear him again. Then I got to the point in Horizon Zero Dawn where Helis shows up around the same time I finished up Nier:A and....

^^^Made me laugh. All things considered, 9S is pretty cordial to the machines that command would definitely want him to murder on sight.

Zoe posted:He reminded me a lot of Accord in the initial reveal, glad i wasn't the only one. Honestly, Adam kind of reminds me of an amoral child who figures out he has god-like powers. Imagine a hellish 6 year old (DRAKENGUARD!!!!) who suddenly has mastered cubemancy and teleportation. He also seems to think he understands things but he really doesn't. So yeah, basically Mirrah from Drakenguard except not possessed. Basically, are we sure Adam isn't some kind of crazy Caim teleported into the future?

Like I said, Adam is way to wordy to be anything resembling Caim. poo poo, even when Caim didn't lose his voice I'm pretty sure 90% of what he said were just various different grunts. Caim wasn't one much into torture either. The closest he ever came was when he kept kicking that corpse. Caim isn't into suffering, he's into violence, violence and body count. He's basically an Avatar of Khorne. SirPhoebos posted:Sure are a lot of wyvernists in this thread What are you some kinda wyvern apologist?
