I think I remember some characters in steins;gate ending sentences with お or だお. What does it mean?

I don't have any examples now, but I can look for some when I get home. I mostly remember this expression being used by Daru. – ignorantFid May 19 '16 at 17:51

2個人的には「だよ」由来説には疑問で、むしろ一人ツッコミの「…（お」のある種の誤読由来だと思われ。 – user4092 May 20 '16 at 11:50
I'm pretty sure that it came from ～だよ.
This is just my opinion but by using ～だお instead of ～だよ for a character, you can make him/her sound like a person who is cute, laid back, easy-going, girly, ほんわか、萌え系、のんびり、..., etc.
I think that these characters often don't speak clearly or speak like a little boy/girl just to create the characteristics listed above so y is dropped in dayo and it sounds like dao.
