DELTARUNE Chapter 2 - Trolling Berdly until he gives up

This is an aborted Weird Route run, where you don't use Snow Grave to get past the Deltarune Chapter 2 Berdly fight. Instead, glare at him until he gives up.

Also Queen does what she does on the idea of fun she seems program on, if she dint have anyone to use her fun is very probable that she felt it, in the snowgrave route her dailog shows her being a litte weird out by not having people around. I say that in the stance that she seems to do what she is program to belive it makes for fun and not on actually making harm.

Queen was right - there's nothing wrong with him, he's just annoying. Because beneath his annoying outward persona, there's a good person underneath. A person who is able to admit his insecurities when he feels comfortable doing so. A person brave enough to stand up for his friend, either in this route or normally when pulling that plug off his face. A person able to change. Like Susie became more compassionate. Like Noelle became braver by herself in the Normal Route. And I look forward to Berdly changing more if we see him again.

[@riluna3695]

The game calls it a Smart Scouter at one point (while also referencing Vegeta crushing his), so I had the impression it measured intelligence. Or more likely, it rings up as 0 for everyone except Noelle to appease Berdly's fragile ego.

​@@This_Guy_ExistsWell, during the whole game the character refers to Kris as "them". Even Toriel, who is their mother. Also, in Undertale you played as Frisk, who was supposed to be a self insert so people could use the pronouns they wanted, but in Deltarune, Kris is their own person.

[@ShadowSorel]

@@fragrantwinter8233 the entire point of the snowgrave route is to show how easy it is to manipulate noelle into doing horrible things and to have her repress it just because you tell her to

[@NRobbi42]

@@fragrantwinter8233 I believe the reason the alternate route was even possible at all was because of Noelle's unique susceptibility to our influence. Noelle's inability to refuse others was brought up quite a bit for a reason in ch 2. In the normal route she starts off with negative "boldness" stats until she finally gets up the courage to stand up for herself, while in Snowgrave we take advantage of her more concerning traits and basically make her into our servant who would kill for us with a whisper of her name. Compare this to someone like Susie who has high "Guts" and is shown to outright disregard the player on multiple occasions. Ex: Learning S-Action on her own, ignoring every dialogue option during the ferris wheel scene, running off with Ralsei without letting Kris choose, attacking enemies without command in ch 1, etc. Another thing that stood out is how Noelle's attachment to things that frighten or can harm her is brought up on multiple occasions in chapter 2 as well. She mentions how frightening things such as getting lost, scary movies, and even Susie make her feel safe. She lags behind during the firework projectiles because she was frightened and fascinated by them (like Rudy said in ch1, she freezes like a "deer in headlights" completely captivated in the fear). In snowgrave, she's creeped out by Spamton's shop, but also states how it's nostalgic. She's terrified of the queen, but states before the Berdly fight that "she couldn't help it" when commanded to be the Queen's peon. Let's also not forget how the prospect of Susie getting physical with her (shoving her against a locker/pushing her down and laughing) excites Noelle in ways that resemble a kink. There's other moments too, but I think I've made my point. The snowgrave route abuses Noelle's "traits" and fully takes advantage of them. The player immediately uses controlling language, saying things like "Noelle will ride with me", "proceed", "get it", etc. As we command Noelle to freeze enemies, she gets stronger and bolder and her intrusive thoughts begin influencing her actions like when she almost stepped off the switch to electrocute Kris. At first she copes by "blacking out", subconsciously shielding herself from the guilt. After a while however, Noelle rationalizes her actions by saying it's fine as long as she "gets stronger" and follows commands even though she's clearly terrified by "Kris" which, as stated before, only increases her attachment to the player. Another thing to note is how Noelle's attachment to the player skyrockets after the thorn ring that actively drains her health from pain is equipped on her. We're really just taking advantage of Noelle's most concerning qualities and making her into our pet. It's so fucked up. After a while, Noelle begins to freeze puzzles without even being commanded and happily asks to hunt more enemies. She doesn't even suspect anything is wrong until Berdly points it out and snaps her out of her trance (if you check Noelle's stats prior, it will actually say that she's entranced). Despite how terrified Noelle is of Kris by the end of the snowgrave route, the player's actions have clearly influenced her (as seen in Noelle's talk with her dad) and the player has her wrapped around their finger which is why all it took was a simple whisper of Noelle's name to one-shot Spamton at the end of Snowgrave. One more important thing to add is how often Noelle focuses exclusively on Susie in chapter 2 even when the others are around, but in the snowgrave route, Noelle never mentions her once. Even in the hospital, Noelle was only supposed to mention that Susie was in the room with her dad when we walk in, but in Snowgrave she's only focused on Kris and asks what they're doing there. We've completely taken over any thoughts Noelle had about Susie at that point by completely dominating all of her attachment "quirks", and the *abusive relationship* undertones aren't lost on Spamton either as he mentions how we're "using" Noelle and calling her Kris' "Hochi Mama"/"side chick" after we bought rings for Noelle from him and the Addison.
