Dolls Nest

Little doll, have you reclaimed my body yet? Mommy has a hangover and needs her liver back.
Post your dolls and discuss lore, be helpful to seedlings.

i found her to be a bitch ngl

After having seen Rusty's journey to completion it was time to try out the dumb idea I got mid-run, full Nagara... with boomsticks, thanks to some black market modification she's authorized to use the 2 hands Queen Nagara gave her to hold 2 shotguns, she also installed a cloaking device into her hat so she can see the enemy better. Not proud of the paintjob or the fact I immediately defaulted to naming her Sakura, but it is what it is.

do you guys still loot all items on your ng+ run

I did on NG+ cos chances are I missed something + more free mats and double rear weapons, and there's still over a dozen Pearls out in the open to collect. Definitely no reason to do that once you've gotten all the collection achieves and just speedrun the bosses to see how your build handles some real combat.

She is a bitch. But you'd be in a pretty bad mood after getting betrayed and dismembered by your daughters too.

I can't stop myself.

daughters?
catch me up to speed
is nehma the mother of all nymphs or something

Nehma said I stink.

So is this game about actual dolls? I keep seeing threads about it.

go take a bath stinky, u smell of nymph entrails
its bout mecha musume
the bots are all dolls persay

I think so. I mean it's not very clear. But she seems to be the mother of all of Hod. Everything is made of cells and all of the cells come from her.

Everytime I glance back at this thread I misread that as "doll pussy"

She is the progenitor that all nymphs evolved from yes, except the nymphs are autistic-level retard imitations that copied the humans and their behaviour and went full genocide mode in the end.

DEATH TO THE CORPSE EMPRESS

Why does she primarily use Nagara peashooters. Isn't Alqand some kind of hyper advanced technocracy.

"did I find the boss already?"

Type14CCA's description does give me one idea that wasn't brought up in the previous thread's question regarding what we'd like to see in a sequel.
Melee + Gun dual wield, left to shoot, right to melee.

Also man, I did not think Takama would be a downgrade in jumping, despite being able to just barely squeeze into the Upturned shortcut there's even more places I can't jump onto with these legs.

It's actually technically an Arvud gun. The Type14 and Balmung blades were most likely just decorative regalia granted to high ranking officers in Arvud.
It just so happened that the Nymph that would later go on to become Queen Nagara was autistic enough to actually use them in combat. And her subsequent daughters were deranged enough to actually reproduce a glorified status symbol and use them as standard issue arms to the point that the Type14 retroactively known by most to be a Nagaran gun.

As to why Eden uses them, it can be inferred that she was also an Arvud officer back in the day. If Nehma really orchestrated the fall of Arvud, then Eden has plenty of good reasons to want Nehma as a garden ornament, most likely wanting to avenge mommy Arvud.

dual ones fucks

There's really an interesting story to be told with Eden. I imagine that most of Arvud's surviving upper echelon are either dead or moved on from their loyalty to Arvud and went on to become Queens of their own colonies instead. But Eden here seems to have taken her seething to heart, rejected Queenhood and literally went on to kill their God instead. I mean she unknowingly went scorched earth on Nymphkind by doing this, but stories of LOCAL PERSON LITERALLY TOO ANGRY TO CARE ABOUT THE CONSEQUENCES OF KILLING GOD are always interesting.

Your Nymph looks cool. Like she'd bully Yoyo.

thanks but she wouldnt
shed be type to tease yoy as a big sis would

She'd have to beat Gilli-Vell first.

I just noticed that three of the Nymphs we do actually know from Gypro-Verde follow the G-V naming pattern. Maybe it's a cultural thing for them?

We have:
Queen Gypro-Verde
Gilli-Vell
Gardina-Vorg

What are these? I've found two now. There was a blue one in the toxic place
Also this greatsword is insane, so much better as a melee weapon than anything else I've found so far, although I'm still early in the game

Does this game have anything to do with Nechronica?

They're for a sidequest. You start it during the midpoint.

Nope, it's mecha-musume flavoured Armored Core 5/Demon's Souls, mostly.

No, but I am considering modding Nechronica for it. Body part destruction would be nice

Okay wow Leki is VERY susceptible to corrosion, I threw 1 grenade at her and she stood in it for barely 2 seconds and I saw her health bar start ticking. She apparently also loses a ton of defence during her slam cooldown.

I mean, imagine how you would've turned out if Nehma was your mother.

What's that? Apparently some kind of Japanese Anon Babble thing?

Be retarded

Be retarded AND cute instead

Sure I'll take it.

TTRPG in a post-apoc setting with cute girl doll zombies trying to survive by not losing their remaining sanity and possibly also harvest other less-cute zombie girls for spare parts.
I can see the resemblance.

That sounds like what the Dolls Nest setting is about to become when the Variants start moving up.

I wonder what that one anon was on about with the flamethrower bots being dangerous, just look at this guy.

Wait... my game's bugged, NONE of the bots are firing at me, we did it people, we achieved world peace.

Maybe it's one of your mods?

That or a side-effect of having the game running for a long time + tabbing in and out, it only affected the bots on that specific floor though, as soon as I jumped down towards the gatling gauntlet everything was fine again.

How the fuck did a weak techsmith like Eden fucking do THAT to Nehma?

She wasn't solo, she had help from some of the less-retarded nymphs.

Yea the first thing I saw when checking out these threads was talk about flamethrowers being dangerous. But when I ran into these yesterday they were basically harmless. They have no range and are completely predictable
The bots that shoot out a bunch of lightning balls are more dangerous, at least they deal a lot of damage if you fuck up

Eden was probably the Rossiu of the group, a huge backstabbing nerd with an authoritarian inclination.

Game lets me make my robot white with teal highlights

GotY and I just started
the only flaw is that the texture on this dress is at odds with my doll's delicious flat chest. Is there any other outfits that make your character barefoot?

I think that's the only one, minus the ones that turn your whole leg into a spike. But I'll double-check my collection.

Nope, only one that's pure barefoot.

Minty fresh.
And yes there is a barefoot outfit.

Nechronica = loli zombies controlled by mold
Dolls Nest = loli robots that are like 70% nanomachines
So no.

I mean to be fair her home did get destroyed for no good reason.

Twins claim to have your back and that you're special to them

literally say "go boom" when you leave

who the fuck write this shid?

we're back in ways you can hardly even imagine

Nobody was talking about them being dangerous. Some fag was going on about Hati being totally impossible find and he made up some fake situation that required standing in front of the last one the game throws at you in a stupid manner due to holes in the floor. Some other fag said "no, that's stupid" and then fag#1 spent like the next 3 hours obsessing over that instead because his initial argument about Hati was retarded.

Does Yoyo have the same voice actress as Recette from Recettear?

Nope. Recette is credited as Kei Minatsuki, someone with practically zero online footprint. Either she was just one of the friends of the devs that did the voice as a one time gig, or she was one of the many freelance/doujin work voice actresses that also do one and done gigs under a bunch of aliases.
Doll's Nest on the other hand is a project by a fairly prominent otaku work oriented company and thus had enough budget to hire professional voice actresses. If you're into seiyuu faggotry, you'd probably recognize a few of these names. The voice cast isn't exactly a bunch of nobodies.

Sheol

Probably the easiest paycheck in her voice actress' life. Literally just had to record snoozing sounds and mumble oneesan into her mic once.

But one retard DID in fact say he thought the flamethrowers were a problem early game because "wah wah you have no good weapons" when there's plenty of good weapons available early on. And then everyone called him a retard for saying retarded shit, and then the retard started crying samefag because he couldn't handle being wrong about something.

But Dolls Nest also has loli nanomachine zombie robots

Sheol has more lines than just that, you know.

Okay, so it's you.

Nah, try again.

Okay, so it's you.

Nope, still wrong, what's next, gonna ask me to screencap my (you)s so you can cry "nice photoshop" next?

It's weird because I played Recettear recently and Yoyo sounds exactly like her, and has many of the same lines. Though it's a shop management sim so that's to be expected.

is elp saying "help/tasukete" but all cutesty? it makes sense but it sound like chu ka te and not chu ke te.

record it and upload it somewhere and I'll be able to answer

Just finished ac6 endings 2 and 3 a few days ago and this looks great, i saw some anons post clips and the level design seems fun as hell
How does the game run? Nowadays game looks and performance are not related anymore so i gotta ask

It's just cut off you dumbass

Seems to vary from person to person, some people with bad rigs experience no issue at all while people with fresh next-gen ones get stutters even on low/medium settings. Personally I get crazy stutter from staring at fires.

Is it unreal? Any engine.ini edits to make it better? I'm pretty much cpu bound
Maybe it scales really badly with higher resolutions who knows

How does the game run?

Poorly. I'm on a 9070 XT, the FPS tanks in certain locations with maxed settings.

She's just a cute retard, nothing more.
Yeah it's UE4 I think, I saw someone post a long list of ini edits on Steam but I'm averse to trusting random "trust me bro" files.

Thing is, she betrayed the one responsible for making queens, so there was no way she or other Arvud nymphs could've become queens, and thus she embarked on her failed quests to make their own god and queens.

what's the general rule for physical/thermal
use physical on normal robots and thermal on the cancerbots in accumulation zone?

No, you'll do that on your own.

Okay I'll check that out
Most of those are easy enough to read and you can google them
Like the color fringe ones for CA disables are used from ace combat to whatever other game uses it for one
Rt ray count or lumen on off are also simple to read
I'm pulling this out of my ass but some games have lines that were not used like async compute shit cpu core usage so it might be worth trying it out

Top Layer = physical
Middle Layer = thermal
Bottom Layer = doesn't matter, just have dakka.

addendum: it really doesn't matter that much for middle layer. Thermal is just "better."

Yeah my brain is big but smooth.
she is in constant pain.

Is game good?

Quite possibly.

Depends if you like exploration, customizable mecha musume and gameplay vaguely reminiscent of Armored Core

gypro-verde was a noble colony of TRUE warriors
they were NOT a pack of overencumbered cellsluts that ate supplements at full bp and worshipped their queen just because of her ungodly girth

If that were true, why is the full tank frame such utter garbage?

Autosage or is bumping stuck again?

Are you able to get face data that lets you use the skelly face like the hair previews show?

there was no way she or other Arvud nymphs could've become queens

Flavor text pretty much says out that Gypro-Verde and Nagara were Arvud nymphs.

I think the existence of Nehma herself is only known to a few Nymphs hence why Alqand was so easily able to blot out any info regarding her. The initial rebellion against Nehma was likely fueld by a bunch of Nymphs thinking that they'll be just fine without their petty god, only to later realize that oh fuck, Nehma really was the one holding Hod together and that they can't really replicate her powers.

Sadly no

Her Fertile Womb

What did they mean by this?

I think this is how the general Nymph timeline goes, but don't quote my schizo ass on it.

- Nehma, bored after exterminating humanity guides the evolution of the Nanomachine deathbots of Doll's Nest into being more advanced/sentient
- The control group of these sentient "evolved" Nymphs (AKA different from those mindless doll joint ones) become the mysterious unknown colony that mystery nigga nymph came from. Her, Arvud and Shara are also probably from this group. In a sense, Nymphs from this group are technically seedlings since they were Nymphs handmade by Nehma herself instead of being birthed by a Queen.
- At some point, Arvud trees out and shits out her own babies, forming the "first" colony ever with Nymphs born from a Queen .With this, the Arvud colony grows and Nehma gets the general blueprint of how Nymph society works
- Being a petty bitch of a god, Nehma decides to orchestrate its fall through the group of personal Nymphs that would actually be called her seedlings
- With the fall of Arvud, stragglers and survivors eventually split off into their own colonies, becoming their own Queens just like Arvud did and creating unique cultures
- After some time, Eden, one of said Arvud survivors, probably did research and eventually discovered the existence of the shadow mastermind of Hod, Nehma. She correctly puts together that the fall of Arvud and probably a bunch of other shit happening in Hod is due to Nehma's machinations
- She gathers together other Arvud loyalists and other Nymphs that have a bone to pick with Nehma and they turn her into BBQ, ripping her body apart and doing research on her
- They realize that they're way out of their depth and cannot replicate the abilities of the God they just killed. Their research ends up at a standstill.

The implication is that Gypro-Verde and Nagara became queens prior to the Nehma gank, as Nehma had been doing the Seedling shit from the beginning, and Arvud was the original colony which only fell after Nehma was put on a stick, so they likely had the strength to survive Gypro-Verde and Nagara's secession.
