So how exactly does a Pact work?

Didn't that fairy shit literally force the pedo guy to join with them?

Seems like it's just a fancy word for Fae rape.

I just beat the E route. It sucked, I had to collect weapons for like 15 hours using a GameFaq, and I had to do a bunch of shitty free expeditions. Then I spent 6 hours trying to beat this fucking Queen Grotesquerie, and my hand was really sore at the end.

You can't force someone to enter a pact. The fairy saw that Leonard was a coward, so it probably thought that a man that refused to commit suicide would be a good idea for a pact partner, since he wouldn't go out of his way to get hurt, so the two of them could be immortal. Which backfired, of course.

WELCOME

lalalalala

WELCOME TO THE SERIES

shit, son. You stuck in there longer than I could be bothered. I got 3 endings, killed harpy furiae, tried to collect a weapon in a hall full of 30 reds and was like "nah" and dropped it. Good work

Zero made them up on the spot and they have no explanation otherwise.

I always thought verdelet's pact price was his short tem memory, because that motherfucker repeats things NONSTOP. Turns out it was just his hair. got off easy but I guess his pact monster loafs around and does nothing, so.

He's senile. But despite all the shit people give him, I'll give him props for standing up to Inuart and trying to help with Mannah.

I find it funny how Caim becomes mute for the pact, Arioch becomes infertile and then Verdelet just loses his hair

And Inuart loses his ability to sing.

Also forgot that Leonard turns blind

He can't even sing well in the first place. How is that a price?

Because it was the one thing he was better at than Caim, and the only thing Furiae liked about him.

Pacts make you lose something precious and critical that will test your mental stability, that's pretty much it.
Caim goes mute because main character memery, Inuart loses his ability to sing because , Arioch loses his ability to have children because it's the last nail in the coffin to make her go absolutely batshit crazy, Seere loses his ability to grow because he wants to be a strong hero to make up for the fact he let his sister get her shit beaten on an everyday basis and thus never will because he's stuck as a kid.

And Leonard loses his eyes because he was a legitimate pedophile and now he doesn't get to see kids and get off to them.

I think it's kind of a shame Yoko Taro went out of his way to demonize Caim and even compare him to Hitler. I got behind team Caim pretty fast, because I felt sorry for him at the beginning for stumbling around with mortal injuries.. He may be a mass-murderer, but the only people he's murdering are armed combatants, and they're all part of a brainwashed cult that wants to genocide the world. If it has a red eye, it needs to die.

It becomes pretty clear that Caim is an unhinged psycho when Furiae kills herself in front of him out of shame and his reaction is "ew, incest slut, better dead." and moving along to kill more things like a merry good time, granted.

Caim seemed pretty pissed at Mannah for making Furiae kill herself, and he had to leave because the Seeds of Resurrection were sown because of Furiae's suicide.

What was angelus even doing at Caim’s castle anyway

She had a hangover and needed a place to crash.

I just realized that the Empire's capital is in Spain.

It's a shame that more people on Yea Forums don't know about this game, and would rather post 2B. I can't blame them, though, Drakengard can be tedious.
>50% of the game plays like a shitty dynasty warriors.
>Games expects you to grind by killing 1000s of enemies with an underwhelming combat system for marginal health gains
>Game expects you to grind by killing 1000s of enemies to level up weapons
>The soundtrack sounds like it's broken
>Obtuse secret weapons
>The game itself becomes more and more unfun to play each chapter with the red-armor enemies, crossbowmen, and bullshit like the shield soldiers.
>Sharp difficulty curve increase for the final boss fights
>No sex appeal characters like 2B or Kainé

Why did he fuck up Angelus with the seals?

Either Verdelet sucks at his job, or dragons aren't meant to be divine seals. Or both

I agree on those except for the soundtrack. I personally love that shit, even if it gets really repetitive.

>got off easy

It was never stated in game but my headcanon is that the pact takes away the thing you value most for dramatic irony.

>Caim loses his voice, making it impossible to command as a battlefield general or member of royalty and forcing him on his path where he's only able to communicate through violence
>Inuart, as a bard, loses his voice, nuff said
>Leonard, who lusted after little boys, lost his ability to see them
>Arioch loses her womb because you already know why
>Seere loses his aging because he wants to grow up and be strong and respected to stand up to his parents, but is stuck as a perpetual child instead

And so I think that Verdelet's pact price indicates just how vain he is, that he'd find losing his hair more devastating than anything else. Nothing really contradicts this either because he's a huge asshole in game.

That chapter has some intense Tampani music.

Imagine if you will:
On your vacation to Japan (you weaboo), you happen to be in Tokyo when suddenly, you get the strangest sensation something is utterly fucking wrong with the world… and Ending E happens before your eyes.

How fucked are you? Can you save yourself?

>The soundtrack sounds like it's broken
That's the point, and i love it for that: it translates the madness and despair of the game to music, which ends up being appropiate given the setting.
Nier and Automata have a beautiful setting, even with the tragedy in the background. Here, everything is war, rape and more awful shit from the start. You're not gonna listen happy and comfy music in an apocalyptic or 1984 type of story.

>no sex appeal waifus
Fuck off

You can also argue malice.

Some of those are positives or at least serve a deeper purpose. Your point about the soundtrack in particular jumps out at me, because it's clear as the game goes on that the soundtrack becomes more and more broken sounding as the world falls closer to ruin. Take this one;
>youtu.be/wdwwYEJKvQU
It might be repetitive and sound like the soundtrack to a bad scene in a slasher flick, but it's at least coherent and has a rhythm to it. Now compare it to;
>youtu.be/ZGEGlHd4W7E
It sounds like three or four tracks mashed together, glitching in and out of each other and hurtling back and forth in your ears with surround sound (if you're wearing headphones), like your PS2's struggling to deal with the crazy shit happening on screen (in fact the boss fight with Manah has a repeating skip in the BGM which is designed to make you think your console has crashed). And there's the Grotesqueries' leitmotif kind of pulling its way through the cracks, piece by piece, like reality's crumbling around you and giving you a glimpse of something awful lying beyond, it even takes over the track completely in some parts. And then in the final cutscene of Route D when you're looking at the disgustingly pregnant Queen Beast and the world's physical laws have been ripped apart from the inside out, that theme plays uninterrupted, on a loop, with a quickening heartbeat in the background - it's their world now, and you're just waiting to die.
