Drakengard 2

Wow, other Drakengard fans.

I love both games, but I do have to agree that the first was better. If only because it was so much darker. Sure Babygeddon was really creepy, and odd but the other endings were excellent. It's refreshing to play a game that doesn't turn out perfect in the end. Life usually doesn't work like that.

Can't say I'm a fan of Nowe either. He whined a bit too much for me, and he was far too quick to just betray the knights. Seemed strange for someone who had trained all that time and been raised by the former leader of the knights to so quickly turn on them.

Anyway, have a couple questions here. I'll put them in spoilers.

Spoiler:

What exactly did Gismor make a pact with?

Who are Nowe's real parents? A few people are saying it's Inuart and Furiae, but I just can't see that happening... It would mean that both of them survived since Nowe was born two years after the war.

Dragons created humans to defeat the gods (which I'm assuming are the Watchers)? Seems kind of silly since humans are so much weaker than dragons.

Does it ever say why Manah's mother hated her so much? I remember in the first game Seere talking about how their mother used to beat the crap out of Manah. Never said why though.

Why did Verdelet alter the seal? The history on Caim's sword mentions how that was a betrayal by Verdelet, and Caim killed him for it.

That's all for now^^'

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Spoiler:

So basically Inuart and Furiae didn't "get it on"? Had something to do with Legna or Inuart using the bone casket. Ok, that makes a lot more sense.

I still don't know if I buy the dragons being able to break a pact yet. The only time we've seen it done is in an ending that didn't even happen according to the storyline.

How ya doing, buddy?

Might be the same reason as in the Kenshin OAVs. Where they say a cut gotten from someone who really hates you never truly heals. Might be showing how much Nowe was disliked due to the being called a savior and all. A long shot I know, but thought I'd take a stab at it.

How ya doing, buddy?

Hated those babies. What freaked me out the most was that they had full sets of teeth. Those things were hard to kill too. Though it was worth it just to see Arioch's reaction.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Spoiler:

Maybe because Angelus was now sealed, it meant that only Caim would die if he killed himself. So he wanted to free Angelus so they could both die. That's probably the case, because if Caim's death meant Angelus', and thus breaking the seal, then Verdelet and the other priests would've kept Caim safely quarantined, instead of letting him run around getting into more danger.

Spoiler:

I don't think they could have kept Caim locked up if they had wanted to. That was probably more the case. He could has easily cut through any type of guard they attempted to put on him, or unit sent to capture him.

I was speaking idiomatically.
