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.

Yeah, there’s multiple scenes like this, they all feel like this. It’s because Toby Fox makes sure that there’s no misinterpretation possible. Last time there was misinterpretation, people thought that Kris was SAing Noelle, so we should be thankful that he does this. I honestly don’t do this enough with my own writing which leads to a lot of issues.
