Why did Toby Fox turn Sans into a homewrecker and Toriel into a whore
>>
funni
>>
comedy relief
>>
>>738249581
It's in character for Toriel. She left Asgore because he wouldn't nut up and kill kids. There's nothing stopping her from shoving him aside, eating 7 souls and invading the world. She just wanted to feel both morally and intellectually superior while sitting on her ass and avoiding the dilemma.

This scene is such a gigantic fucking tonal whiplash from the previous scenes, before that you can explore Hometown with this beautiful rendition of the It's Raining Somewhere Else where you feel the charged tension of "Am I really just what Fate has shaped me up to be?" and "Do I even have free will" after we discovered literally everything we do has been foretold by The Prophecy.
>>738249809
I'm not saying that, in fact I think it was an incredible move from Toby Fox. Of course characters need bad traits, literally no one fucking likes a Mary Sue (Although, I must admit Susie is kind of a Mary Sue, and it's pretty obvious Toby favorites her a lot, so I'm imagining the later chapters are gonna push Susie to her limit so she becomes more interesting. So far, the most interesting characters have been Kris and Ralsei)
>>
>>738250018
There is only one interesting character in the entire game and thats Noelle. Susie is pure garbage she is like the woman protagonist of the new star wars movies.

This scene will be either absolute kino or an absolute joke depending on how it is handled in future chapter

>>738249581
Honestly it feels like he is letting fanfics influence him too much and since he is a bad writer you get stuff like this
Yeah its "realistic" or whatever for torial to be a shit parent but it doesnt fit the game. No it doesnt make the story darker or whatever it just makes it into fetish fuel. One of the worst tropes of storytelling is "the adults are all pieces of shit" its so uninteresting.

and expanding on Susie.
I do love Susie, she's very likeable and her arc in Chapter 1 was incredible. But it's like Toby just... doesn't know what to do with her now? I think Chapter 4 made great strides to push her character when she screams at Ralsei for hiding things from her, or not trusting her to deal with the Truth (In fact, Ralsei is quite manipulative towards both Susie and the Player throughout the entire game, which is one of the best conflicts in the entire game so far, and would be a waste if this goes unexplored), but even then they just go back to being friends like it was nothing, like Ralsei crying was enough to make Susie forget that Ralsei is being one manipulative little faggot right now.
I'm gonna be really, really pissed off if Susie discovers Kris is working for the Knight and they go back to being budding buddies just a few scenes later, because it would just be plain bad writing, a waste of time.

Is there really not? Because Kris is pretty clearly shaken up and confused about what’s going on.
I mean, yeah it’s interesting that it pushes the characters to their limits but that doesn’t stop me from telling you that it was a pretty messed up move from Toriel to bring a complete stranger to their home. Besides, don’t you think it’s irresponsible that Toriel didn’t really care about Kris not coming home when it was really late? Because in chapter 1, Toriel said she kept repeatedly calling Kris’s but that pattern doesn’t follow through in chapter 4 because she is so distracted with Sans.
So yes, Sans is a homewrecker.

It would be a tragedy to not explore and expand on the back-seated tension between The Fun Gang. Because these conflicts have the potential to become really meaningful and interesting commentary on trust, free will, friendship. It’s such a rare thing these days to see stories that have the balls to create these incredible conflicts with a charged things to say on the human condition. If Toby follows through with this that would make Deltarune one of the most interesting works of fiction in the last 10 years.
But you know, knowing Toby Fox’s past with Andrew Hussie and Homestuck makes me wonder if Toby has inherited the same issues as his predecessor.

>A homewrecker (sometimes styled as home wrecker or home-wrecker) is a person, object or activity that causes or comes close to causing the breakup of a marriage (or similar partnership). The homewrecker is said to have taken one of the spouses away from the marriage, thus "wrecking" the marital home.

Most commonly, the label "homewrecker" is applied to a person having an affair with someone else's spouse or domestic partner; it can also refer to other forces that are destructive to a marital relationship and tied only to one party to that relationship.

Words having meanings. Just because *you* use them in a different way doesn't change that.

This will definitely happen, there's too much obvious build up to what will occur when Susie realizes her best friends have been lying to her from minute one
Or even the dynamic between Ralsei and Kris since its evident that Ralsei may not agree with everything Kris is doing but has little option but just to grin and bear it with a straight face since the solution would require dismantling the house of cards lies they've built up

This is completely in-character for both of them
And a "homewrecker" is someone who has an affair, not someone who dates a single mother
>>
>>738252476
Susie’s monologue during the RK fight is so genius because she REALLY DOES believe Kris and Ralsei are on the same boat as her, so the revelation that their relationship was built on a lie day one is gonna be so interesting, let alone the fact Susie is already dealing with the reality that she didn’t change out of her own free will, her fate was already sealed by the prophecy. I think Chapter 4 has been so far the best chapter in terms of developing Susie’s ultimate epiphany, the question is what is she gonna do once she unveils the truth?

Kris isn't confused or shocked, they're ashamed. This is clearly not the first time they've seen Toriel shitfaced. Kris isn't having trouble processing what's going on, they're humiliated by Susie seeing it.
>it was a pretty messed up move from Toriel to bring a complete stranger to their home
I don't know how you were raised but I don't think a parent needs permission from their child to invite company over.
>don’t you think it’s irresponsible that Toriel didn’t really care about Kris not coming home when it was really late?
Yes it is, but that's a separate claim from calling this character assassination or whatever.
Toriel getting drunk to the point of impairing her judgement and being unable to be there for Kris is a bad thing and also completely in line with her established behavior and flaws. She'll be just as ashamed of herself as Kris was in the morning.
It's also completely idiotic to try to blame Sans for Toriel's behavior, she's the one who invited him home and broke out the wine glasses.

and
>a few years after Toriel and Asgore seperated she met sans and got drunk and partied with sans all night which made Kris deeply uncomfortable
is astronomical.

Wrong. She's capable of ending the child murder practice at any moment as displayed in the pacifist ending and most neutral variations. It's literally as easy for her as getting out of her cave and saying "We are done" and everyone will go along with it.
She doesn't do it for hundreds of years, ergo her opposition to Asgore's child murder plan is purely performative.
Toriel the WHORE is a subtly written evil character and with the way she was written in Deltarune ch4, it's fairly obvious Toby clued in that he was a bit too subtle in Undertale.

People forget(probably because Toriel is hot as fuck) that she tries to stop you from leaving her house using magical violence. Now she does try to avoid killing you, but if you beat the shit out of someone and don't kill them that is generally still seen as a dick move.

No wine drinking and not shame in front of Susie. There was also no cucking and Toriel fucking Sans, im so tired of subhuman autists misenterpreting a disney cartoon level of a plotline.

>apparently she only left because Asgore pussied out
No, retard
Asgore declared he would kill all humans after Asriel and Chara killed themselves
This was not only personally reprehensible to Toriel (didn't they just welcome a human child into their family?) but also Asgore betraying his own principles, after he had previously promised to make the best of life in the Underground rather than pointlessly try to escape and continue the hopeless war
She tried to talk him down and reason with him but he was too enraged and stubborn to listen to her, and monsterkind was on his side. So she refused to have any part in this and left him, taking Chara's body with her and going into exile in the Ruins.

Toriel's failing is retreating into the Ruins in the same way that Asgore hides away in his castle, both of them hoping that another child never comes.
Asgore is too cowardly to either face his people and admit that murdering innocent children for their freedom is wrong or commit to the war he promised and cross the barrier himself, while Toriel is too cowardly to face Asgore and her people again and ensure herself that no more children come to harm in the Underground.
Toriel is flawed and hypocritical, her criticism of Asgore is projection (whether Toby intended it or not), but that doesn't make them morally equivalent. Asgore is the one who decided to start murdering children.

Toriel literally abolishes the "kill all humans" policy when she becomes queen in a neutral ending. Yes, she's a hypocrite that does the same thing that criticizes Asgore for (hoping a human never leaves the ruins rather than deal with Asgore) but that makes her flawed, not evil.

DESS is the evolution of all those predictions but he just, DOESN’T CARE because she’s not a wacky talking flower! And funny thing is that there ARE people making john flowers but he’s too busy seething in these threads to look for them.

Kris holds their head low and deliberately turns away from Susie's gaze. That is shame.
Kris refuses to play along with Toriel and Sans's bullshit for even a second and wants to just go to bed. When they go to bed, they don't cry into their pillow, they cover their ears and thrash around until the noise fucking stops. That's anger and resentment.
I'm sure there's a part of Kris that's sad too, but that's not what they're showing here.

>>
>>738256298
That's what I remembered. Now I haven't played Deltarune so I don't know if he was redeemed or retconned, but I consider myself a bit of an Asforr apologist. What he did was fucked up, a crime declared war against humanity. I also understand why he would do so when humans were shown to him to be cold, heartless, and asympathetic after his son dies. Frankly the fact he looks at Frisk and treats them cordial and polite shows me he isn't mentally gone or not so ideologically captured. I believed he could have been reformed and wanted him and Toriel to get back together, forgiving each other (Toriel wasn't wrong for leaving Asgore but she could have been more understanding of his reaction and have tried harder to change things before dipping). Asgore's sin is wrath but that doesn't even seem to affect him outside his goal, and at the end of the game he sees the light for peace again. I don't really know how one can dehumanize that.

The main difference is that the player isn't diagetic in GOW like it is in UT/DR
>>
>>738257512
that's the thing though, DT actually explores you and the MC disagreeing in actions, it goes both ways which is more interesting because in other games you disagreeing with the MC or the MC potentially doing something they probably wouldn't while you play as them is usually not explored or in the later case your actions shape or kind of retcon the personality of the MC to fit what you chose because you ARE him in-universe
the idea of the protagonist being its own person separate from the player is thus not explored because either the personality is set in stone and you just get to control his actions in a severely limited manner for the sake of gameplay like gow OR the MC is pretty much what you make out of it like well basically any game with a character creator so it's just a direct representation of you/your larp

The games that best capture this friction between player and protagonist are The Stanley Parable, which constantly pits your disobedience against a Narrator trying to control the MC, and Slay the Princess, where the protagonist’s internal voices can actively resist your commands. Disco Elysium fits perfectly by treating the MC's personality as a semi-independent, fractured entity that argues with you through internal dialogue, while Spec Ops: The Line purposefully creates a moral rift where the MC’s actions become something you, as the player, might find yourself fundamentally at odds with.

He specifically says "I've got to go look again." implying that he's searching or examining something in Carol's room.
Then he does his monologue about how "this time for sure, they'll all see, they'll have to believe me" standing in front of Carol's own schizo corkboard and Evil Secret Definitely Not The Roaring Knight black katana

So it seems like he's looking at and talking about Carol's sword, except it's kind of weird to call a whole sword a "shard"
Maybe he has his own actual "black shard" in his pocket like Kris, from an encounter with The Knight or just something he found investigating the Shelter Dark World, and that's his "proof" something supernatural went down when Dess disappeared
Either way it's proof that he knows something, we won't know until he does whatever stupid shit he's planning to do tomorrow. Maybe he's going to use the "shard" to make the Dark Fountain.

No? I'm not here solely for the """unique""" part of any game and I'm definitely not mad that a game dares not to be "unique" at all times. That's mental illness.

>>738260357
No it doesn't. Fights are the exact same, or perhaps even flatter than in the normal game since fighting is generally simpler than even acting. The world is identical, only dialogue/events change. And there's a couple new bosses in exchange for every other boss vanishing or getting one shot just for effect.
I understand if Genocide validates how you prefer choice to work in video games, it's not how choice is supposed to work in all video games.

That's entirely the point.

We've also only ever seen Toriel as a sweet mom, so seeing her drunk out of her mind and neglectful is shocking.

Common enemies don't alter their behavior. Battles are the same. Unless you're going to argue that acting and fighting are meaningfully mechanically different, which is a losing battle to begin with.

She was the queen, she was more popular than the king, everyone followed her orders and nobody would've allowed Asgore to hurt her. Not that Asgore would've hurt her since he's a doormat when it comes to her.

In reality Toriel could have walked together with the kids to the barrier and make sure they pass through. The kids would not have been attacked by any other monster and Asgore would not have attacked her to kill the kids. She could have led a coup against Asgore and become the ruler, then give power to someone else.

But the truth is that Toriel didn't want to be responsible for anything. She just ran away from her responsibilities as both queen and caregiver, put all the blame on Asgore and sat around eating snails knowing that Asgore would eventually kill seven kids anyway.

You made that argument. I told you Snowgrave affected later chapters, just not in the way that you expected, which was rehashing THE GENOSIDE ROOOT FROM UNDERTAAALEEE
>Which you've just saying to handwave any ways the genocide comes out looking better by comparison
Genocide is about deciding to kill everyone because you're bored (because you've played the game multiple times through and have exhausted all other enjoyment from its "content")
The Weird Route is a specific series of actions that you're taking with an actual purpose in mind. The action you're taking is different, the goals are different and the consequences will be different. It is a different game with different rules.
>THIS WAS DONE BETTER IN UNDERTALE
>You know damn well that "you liked this game" isn't a excuse for making someone play it more than once.
Tell me right now with a straight face how replaying the entire game after a Neutral run to do True Pacifist was different and better than replaying Deltarune to do the Weird Route.
Oh, what's that? You never actually did a Neutral run and you just ran Pacifist from the start because you're a Youtube zoomer cocksucking faggot with no attention span or appreciating for the game we're talking about? Wow, I never saw that coming!

The "you will be dead where you stand" is a bluff so that Sans would read Frisk's face and see how many times she died. Genocide makes it clear he thinks fighting is pointless and he would rather be friends with the anomaly. You're right that he's still close to Toriel in Undertale, possibly his best friend.

Undertale's genocide route gives you exactly two nuggets of really new gameplay in its entire runtime, and it being "different" at every moment in no way negates the fact that 90% of the time spent is on grinding or the new bosses.

Oh yeah the grinding is still a drawback. Which is why there was hope looking at chapter 2 that snowgrave was going to be an improvement on genocide since it toned the grinding right the fuck down. Only for chapter 3 and 4 to dash that hope.

>>738265870

The weird route is an improvement over genocide by virtue of not being a completely mechanical change. Undertale changes every area and boss in the same way in genocide, it is sweeping and impactful but also comes across formulaic, like a lot of its other changes. The weird route is a very specific other way through the story that only differs where it has a logical reason to. These both have their appeal.
>>738266350

I beg to differ. I'm sorry you forget about how the mood of the overall game has changed the moment this specific scene isn't affected, but I don't have that kind of ADHD.

That's just because at this point he realizes Frisk is so determined he will just revert time as many times as it takes to accomplish his goal.

I understand it is reasonable for the route to be shorter yes. Chapter 2 snowgrave was shorter and I'm using that as the standard that we were hoping for. Wanting the route to actually make a difference throughout the game is also reasonable.

The argument was never whether they were important or not.

>>738266350
The point to me is, the Weird Route does not have a strong enough influence in the game's sequence so it loses the sense it's a real derailing of the story and comes off as far weaker than what the concept looked like in Chapter 2.
Weird Route is simply a disappointment because it could be much better but Toby & co clearly don't have the time and resources to do a fully fledged consequential Weird Route.
>>
>>738268437
You said the rest of the chapter "basically forgets" about the weird route, I listed three noteworthy changes including the fucking ending of the Chapter, and you conceded that these were all noteworthy changes and you were fucking wrong but are still acting dismissive about it because you're a dishonest cocksucker
Kill yourself.

I thought the Genocide route was going to be a really big and impactful change after Snowdin was abandoned, but now I'm going through Waterfall and it's all basically the same aside from some dialogue and scene changes.
I guess Toby just wasn't up to explore the consequences of my actions after all.

It does. Saying "but exceptions" just means you don't know what "basically" means.

That's a meaningless distinction for what's being discussed here, which is just the fundamentals of the routes being interesting.
>Tell me right now with a straight face how replaying the entire game after a Neutral run to do True Pacifist was different and better than replaying Deltarune to do the Weird Route.
Well for a start you don't necessarily have to if you managed to avoid any killing on your first playthrough. It's also overall shorter.

>What's the appeal of feet? I truly don't get it.
As someone who like feet a normal amount (I don't particularly seek it out but I'm not put off by it either)
There's a similar level of intimacy to them to hands, they're not as dexterous but they are usually covered and kept out of sight. It's not as private as your chest or crotch but you don't let just anyone touch your feet.
When it comes to footplay there's also an inherent sense of dominance/submission and degradation to it. If a girl wants you to rub her feet or put her toes in your mouth you're servicing her, if she's stepping on your dick to give you a footjob she's dominating you. If she's squeezing your dick between her feet it's not that different from a handjob but it's more dirty/naughty, she's going out of her way to do something more deviant for you and you're getting off to more deviant service.

Toriel didn't try to stop any of the other kids by force. If she did, she would be dead.
There is evidence that at least one of the previous kids threatened her to let them leave, with the fire pokers being filed down and no knives in the drawer.
She let the other kids go on their own and has come to regret it because they have invariably been killed. That's why she intends to destroy the exit to the Ruins when Frisk starts saying they want to leave, she thinks it's hopeless and doesn't want to let any other kids go to their deaths, to not even give them a choice.

Mate.
You're describing like 5-10 minutes of unique content - sprinkled across a chapter that takes hours to complete.
Everything around those altered scenes is identical to the standard route.
That is jarring.
Stones are dropped into the pond, but leave no ripples.

In Undertale's genocide route, the consequences of your actions permeate your environment through every step of your journey.

Deltarune simply does not achieve the same effect.
The effects of rendering Berdly comatose or violating noelle are localized and isolated. Despite everything the overarching narrative marches along the same track as the standard route utterly unfazed.

And this won't meaningfully alter the progression of the next chapter at all.
There'll be some snippets of altered dialogue, a short scene or two slotted in somewhere - and then everything snaps back onto the same unfaltering storyline and remains as such for the remaining 90% of the chapter.
These things you keep pointing to, I do not know how to explain it in simpler terms.
They are narratively isolated, they will not impact the trajectory of the story.
Its a sort of story-telling smoke-and-mirrors. Your choices won't impact anything.
Do not be surprised when I am proven right.

Like every game ever, you mean?
>no Undertale didn't do that
Right, it just found an excuse to make no new regular combat encounters, minimal new music, and so on for the genocide route.

I thought your choices were supposed to matter in this game, but it's just... Sans making a phone call again?
8 hours of rehashed gameplay for that?

>Quantifying how much the story changes by literally counting words and minutes is both arbitrary and fucking moronic.
Good thing we're not "literally counting words" then and this is more of you trying to invent shit to try and spin a reasonable take in a way that sounds autistic. Why are you unable to argue honestly?

Sorry Noelle, I'm too annoyed at stupid people on the internet to want to have sex with you right now
No I'm not going to "smack you around a little" to blow off some steam, Jesus Christ, I don't care if you're into it

Leaderless ending was even better than Genocide. Serves em right for tying to kill me. Fuckers.

Because kris genuinely believes he doesn't deserve love or happiness he's gone into the plan with full intention to die.
however slowly but surely he's being worn down on that intention, because susie doesn't make him feel guilty and at fault just for existing she makes him want to live
also he did at one point probably love noelle but because he feels like she should hate him for what he's done and is reminded of his guilt when interacting with her had distanced himself from her
and since his parents divorce likely was caused by asgore obsessing for finding dess, kris also blames himself for that too
and I won't be surprised if kris blames himself for Rudy being sick and literally everything else wrong in his own life too

Thats why the festival need to feature a Krusie date on a ferris wheel. It would awake Kris to actually reconsider betraying Susie and instead protecting her against the prophecy and the Knight and Carol. If he's just a dude sitting on a bench while Susie has a Suselle moment, then it's not really effective for Kris and players to care.

Acting like the difference in a route can be quantified by the contents of the game is inherently silly no matter your purpose. You complaining about the hypothetical involving youtube is not an argument.

I think I've said it before but one interesting difference between Genocide and the Weird Route (so far) is how Genocide pretty vocally confronts you about what you're doing from the start, while the Weird Route has largely left you to feel bad about what you're doing on your own

>>738276334
It's already confirmed there's an egg room in 5, too.
