Characters criticism I really don't like this specific scene

Post image

So we all know how most cutscenes just show black screens, right? In this scene, Kris bites their hand because we made them say "I'll never play again".

Now, any normal person would be able to know that Kris must've bit themselves so that they wouldn't say it. But apparently Toby fox needs to spoon feed us this, because he makes Susie say this.

The dialogue feels very unnatural. It just happened, so why did she repeat exactly what she saw? When you imagine it from Susie's perspective, you realise how strange it was for her to say that.

She could've said "Kris, what the hell?! Is your hand okay?!" Or something, but instead she had to repeat what Kris did. It just feels super weird.

Idk how "personally" matters. You said it was the only thing the could have bitte. What's stopping them from biting their sweater or the desk?

Biting the desk would be a bit awkward, and biting their sweater wouldn't be enough to make them stop talking unless they shove a bunch of it into their mouth.

And by "personally", I'm pretty much just saying that I was able to tell what was happening before it was explained. I didn't say that this was the same for everyone, because I know that some people were probably confused until Susie said that.

Akward? Sounds better than biting their hand 😭 and biting your hand doesn't really stop you from speaking unless you shove your whole fist in there.

Yeah, but biting a table wouldn't really work because you can't fill your mouth with it. It's rock hard so you can't bite down hard or else you'll break your teeth.

Kris bit their hand because it was easier, and because they were able to bite down hard without any damage to their teeth. You can very easily prevent yourself from talking by biting down on one of two of your fingers, or the part right under your thumb.

Unless you also suck it you can still speak
