That ending is actually kind of a pain in the rear end to do because you need to systematically murder EVERY single machine in the entire village, including all the weird raised platforms and over where Jean-Paul was hanging out and on the ground. Also, the machines will briefly turn invincible if not one-shot while screaming for you to stop and not murder them. You've really got to work on being a genocidal piece of poo poo. :v:

v Everyone just respawns if you go a tiny bit outside the village without triggering the ending. This is true of all friendly machines.

Wait, if the ending doesn't pop till you kill everyone but you still kill Pascal then how the hell do you even progress? Are you just locked in at that point?

By the way if you turn down the machines invitation to the village I think he just stays there and you can't progress the story until you go with him.

Does Pascal say anything if you kill him and then he respawns? I've got this mental image of all these peaceful village machines reassembling themselves and just waiting out the android's until they get tired enough to talk.

What happens when you decline to follow is 9S says the line about how it might be a good idea to follow (IIRC he always says that?) and then you murder the robot over and over and over until you get the achievement for killing lots of friendlies and give up.

Adam is the kind of guy who's caught up in cargo-cult intelligence. He thinks that if he just looks smart enough then he'll be smart and everyone will think he's smart. Eve is smarter than he is, and Eve is an affable moron. If he'd had any longer to research human fashion, he'd have found the fedora and we'd never hear the end of it.

Eve just wants to play with his brother. He doesn't care about the war, or androids, or clothes, or any of that stupid bullshit. If Adam wasn't pushing them both along he'd probably be content to just play kickball with a dead machine head back in the desert.

I"m not going to lie, I kind of adore this bit for Eve acting like the stereotypical annoying younger brother. Adam's all up and getting "religious" while Eve's pestering him about robot kickball. It's kind of great.

Yeah, I didn't care for Eve at all until about now in my playthrough. He's a good boy.

So if Adam and Eve are halves of the machine network, is Eve why the Amusement Park machines are constantly partying? All he wants to do is play, after all.

The first time I got to the Machine Village when I played this game, I figured I'd get an ending if I went ahead and murdered everyone, so I decided to do it before I inevitably got attached to all those sweet boys.

Between 2B being like level 12 and the machines getting tons of invincibility frames when they beg for their lives, it took forever and was an absolutely miserable accomplishment that I deserved to feel bad for. A lot like a redux version of Undertale's genocide ending, actually.

Yeah pretty sure they are off the network. Though i dont think they ever make it clear if they are. The tribal machines spawned adam and eve so they might not be off the network? Who knows really.

I believe they are on the Network. When asked about machines off the network, Pascal only mentions the Forest Kingdom and Simone, and he doesn't even sound sure about Simone. I can't imagine why he'd mention her specifically (and even be uncertain about it) unless he believes they're all logged in.
