9S has some good voice acting. He's got a real good low key boiling hate going in his delivery of some of those last few lines. Also I'm surprised nobody mentioned how creepy the pleasant PA voice was. Is that supposed to be the same virus machine voice from the Bunker going to poo poo?

He is very good at doing seemingly low key characters who are actually complete psychopaths.

Let's be honest here. You're a casting director. You see "Albert Wesker" on your list of actors. What the gently caress else do you cast him as?

I mean everything we've gotten from A2 thus far is that she's just here to kill so it's not like he's alone in this attitude.

She's just taking care of the future, like 2B asked... by doing what she was doing and enjoying already.

Now I can't help but imagine what other requests A2 would twist into killing machine lifeforms.

2B: Bake... a cake for me... A2...
A2: I'll need ingredients for this cake... ingredients cost money... I can get money by killing machine lifeforms...

Later:

Pod 042: Query: Has unit A2 made progress in making the cake unit 2B requested?
A2: What cake?

If Nowe were to get a Pod... would it just try to kill him?

Or would it be more subtle; leading him into all sorts of (hopefully) fatal situations?

Growing more and more despondent at how he just keeps failing to DIE!

Being a defective attempt at producing a cyborg instead of a defective dragon/human/undead minion would explain a good deal about Nowe.

GOI

Nowe wasn't defective he was just made out of rubbish materials and he kind of partially did do what he was made for from the watchers.

Still Nowe was so close to being a proper Draken Protag but as befitting what he was made out of he failed at that too.

Also I'm sure the pod would go.

Proposal: Bring peace to this world by destroying these out of control machines and just see how he fucks that up

The true Drakengard! tragedy surrounding Nowe is that he doesn't violently die in any ending.

Or does he? I forget but either way nothing happens to him what he's truly due.

Unless you count the fake ending from the LP where Caim has had enough of this poo poo then no, he survives in every route.

He's probably dead in Route E since he's still in a pact with Angelus and she has that entire getting impaled by Tokyo Tower problem.

Yoko Taro read TDI's Drakengard 1 or Nier LP and talked about it on Twitter, didn't he? It would actually make a strange amount of sense of Yoko Taro internalized some of TDI's personal narration and imported it into Drakengard 3.

Didn't some short story go off of route A or whatever which ended with him wandering in misery in hopes that he would prevent his "New Breed" nonsense from ever being passed on?

I feel like Caim would put up with the pod just because it would be a way to kill even more people. I am sure he would get a boner just from seeing what the bomb program can do to help improve his slaughter efficiency.

Apparently Dan is a sex symbol in France.

I know I'm a little late with this, but merciless mercy kills seem to be a thing here. First 2B decided to strangle 9S instead of doing the same instant kill she did to Eve. Now 2B has been impaled for what was definitely not a quick death :(

Am I supposed to be angry with A2 for that, or is this just a 'for added drama' thing?

Squeezing the throat initiates the current-model defined Shutdown() behavior with the DEATH_PAINLESS parameter, which beats just cleaving hardware off the central bus during active use.

But as we all know, A2's still working off the old manual.
