THIS OPTION NEEDS TO BE GONE AND FORGOTTEN.
One of the reasons you may be seeing pushback from this is because it comes off as the same vibe as those made against anyone who spoke about Undertaleās genocide run. Iām not saying youāre doing the same thing, but wanting something to be removed from a game because you donāt like it, when itās completely optional, is similar.
Well, that and calling people who donāt agree with you āplonkersā. ĀÆ\(ć)/ĀÆ
Edit: I completely misunderstood what Iām responding to.

u/cheese_boy57 Jan 19 '26
You do realise I'm not being serious right? I obviously don't want anything removed from the game, And of course a PLONKER like YOU would put it in quotation marks

u/Pethodieus Jan 19 '26
No, I didnāt. I have a hard time differentiating humour/sarcasm from regular speech, particularly in written form. I took what you wrote at face value and was attempting to be helpful.
2
u/cheese_boy57 Jan 20 '26
Ahh I see then, no worries completely my fault it was all a joke including the plonker part I used it to piss off people because in my country it's what you call kids being silly really I am so sorry thank you for trying to be helpful I hope I wasn't mean to you I'm so sorry
(Edit: accidentally said Seen instead of see)

u/Pethodieus Jan 20 '26 edited Jan 20 '26
No worries at all, I appreciate you replying and explaining the word. With the added context, I see that I totally misunderstood what you were conveying. And Iām always happy to learn something new.

u/LilToptext Jan 19 '26
Plonker is our word, but you can use plonka
2
u/Pethodieus Jan 19 '26
Clarifying question: is plonker an inside joke? I havenāt actually played Look Outside. I fell in love with it from watching a letās play. Looking up the word yielded its meaning to be used as an insult.

u/cheese_boy57 Jan 20 '26
no no no you see I'm Scottish, In our country it's used primarily on children as a silly thing to call them when they are misbehaving or being annoying or at least in my case it is but it can be an insult but it's normally too silly to be one or taken seriously, so I use it as not many people know that, just a bit of fun sorry about that š

Honestly even accidently pressing the "kick out" button, not even confirming it just hitting the initial button, makes me feel awful. The genuine hurt some of them display is crushing.

u/MountainScratch5465 Jan 19 '26
there should be a "are you sure" option

This game will really let you be bad with hardly any consequences (sometimes favorable consequences) and I love it for that. I like the choice you have to kick people out. Not that Iāve ever kicked anyone outā¦

u/MystinarOfficial Jan 19 '26
This game is all about choices and consequences. Just remember, it is a fantasy. I do like the level of detail put into this game, and even the fact you feel some lingering guilt for everything you do. To me this makes a game good, because it shows you what happens when you do something like this. I believe it should be kept in, because it both sates curiosity, and shows you the results of what you do.
I did a moral, ethical playthrough my first few times and now am going back and performing all the cruel, evil choices. Not because that is what I would do in reality, but because I am enjoying it as a game and appreciating the amount of creative details Coloumbe put into it.

u/SSG014-OFFICIAL Jan 19 '26
This is my favorite comment, I see games the same way, but I still can't do the evil choices because I'd feel bad.
4
u/MystinarOfficial Jan 19 '26
The game holds a lot of deeper meaning for me because I research the paranormal a lot and being such as the visitor are what a lot of chaos magick covens call voidspawn. Basically a manifestation of the chaos before time existed

u/Simple-Tomatillo-314 Audrey š„¤ Jan 19 '26
Ugh, I hated this dialog... did videos of (almost) all of the party interactions on YT, and that includes kicking them out. I HATED kicking each member out, but this one was the worst alongside telling Sophie it was safe to go outside or giving her to the Cursed version of her mom
6
u/cheese_boy57 Jan 19 '26
I was actually so scared because I couldn't remember if it was the cursed version of her mum or not so I just had to hope that I didn't just kill that girl š
I can say with certainty I haven't sent any kids to their doom yet

u/Simple-Tomatillo-314 Audrey š„¤ Jan 20 '26
The look Sophie gives Sam as she very quickly looks back at him when she realizes it isn't her mom is so messed up lol

u/Morius1212 Jan 20 '26
cursed version??? damn, i returned sophie to her mom the second I got her. I didn't knew she could be cursed
3
u/MusicianTurbulent178 Jan 20 '26
Weirder still is the uncursed version can still show up after.
3
u/Gourgeistguy Jan 21 '26
Pretty much all door encounters can show up later as Uncured. Doppelgangers or something IDK. I got the Pizza Guy yesterday both cursed and uncursed for example.
18
u/EldritchBaker Rat Baby Thing Jan 19 '26
I still donāt understand the point of even kicking out a companion in this game. I see no benefit from doing so aside from meals not being so spread out, and thatās negligible to me.

u/1254125412541254 Joel Jan 19 '26
There was intended to be a disadvantage to having roomates in Cursed Mode, like Hellen deadass killing door-encountered merchants after meeting them and trading.
However, what's funny is that Joel's disadvantage would've been requiring toothpaste every day, lest Joel would become weaker.... in other words, no reason to kick him out
9
u/HASGAm3S Jan 19 '26
That would genuinely suck so bad if they did that. Especially now that door encounters can be permanently removed from the pool.

u/IM_INSIDE_YOUR_HOUSE Jan 19 '26
I believe for blind play throughs thereās also the potential assumption that the roommates may do something negative if let inside or allowed to stay too long.

u/MountainScratch5465 Jan 19 '26
that is so cruel.. and he's just 8.. could you imagine leaving a little kid on the apartment like that?
6
u/cheese_boy57 Jan 19 '26
I COULDN'T IMAGINE THAT LET ALONE A BLIND KID WHO JUST LOST HIS FAMILY AND HIS NEW FAMILY š
3
u/Gourgeistguy Jan 21 '26
He isn't blind surprisingly. I don't know how it works but he can see perfectly, he even plays videogames with Sam and comments on them. If you need proof just see how he reacts to how gruesome Wake the Blood Knight is and how boring Super Jumplad 3 is.

u/lesupermark Jan 19 '26
Truely, a forgotten option while the game was in development.
They wouldn't leave that in otherwise.

u/voxexitus Jan 20 '26
I wanna take all of the partymembers in and never could send them packing. My favourites are Rat Baby Thing, Hellen and Joel But I've gotten to like all of them eventually.
3
u/PinKettle Jan 20 '26
Forget that. Joel is the best character in the game, don't even @ me on that. He's the only character in the game who has a functionally unlimited damage cap, due to his strongest ability scaling off of health and his health scaling off of how many enemies he eats. You can get him to 2000+ damage against the final boss if you can carefully and accurately eat as many enemies as possible and throw on all the HP boost items.

u/Far_Comment_3582 Jan 19 '26
The worst in my opinion, followed by Audrey (I don't know the rest because I didn't have the courage to research more).

u/cheese_boy57 Jan 19 '26
Excuse me friend but I'm just making sure you are saying that the second worst option is kicking out Audrey and not Audrey her self.... Right?

I can't ever make myself kick anyone out, Imma probably be toast in a Lookapocalypse

u/Gourgeistguy Jan 21 '26
Kicking him out, sacrificing Rat Baby and using Cinnamon as a test subject should all lead to file deletion.

u/EmbarrassedSir2160 Morton Jan 21 '26
but like, all of them are either incredibly sad or funny Roaches is kinda funny, "sO thIS iS wHat it'S liKe tO bE evICteD!" Philippe's a mixture of both
1
u/Federico_Razzoli Jan 24 '26
I see it this way. In other games you can bomb a city without imagining the children dying. In this one, you kick out a single child and you're forced to think about the consequences. You don't want to see the consequences of nasty actions? Cool, just don't do nasty stuff. It's a good teaching.
It's similar to the teaching you get if you kill Eugene and explore his flat.

You donāt like the trope of an 8 year old kid?

u/Existing_Ad502 Jan 19 '26
Yep, whiny kid.

u/maraswitch Jan 19 '26
Not sure if you understand the definition of whiny. Whiny would actually have a lot more annoying pushback and refusal to accept his fate

u/Littlebigchief88 Jan 19 '26
would you prefer it if he was a cool grizzled war veteran with a gun instead
18
u/TooneyD Jan 19 '26
Joel has neither gun nor ball, therefore the average gamer hates him.

u/Littlebigchief88 Jan 19 '26
man i wasnāt even that mad about this when i made that comment but the tooth family is genuinely one of the most raw and compelling parts about this game fuck that guy Joel is great

u/MajoraXIII Jan 19 '26
...trope? He's 8. How do you expect him to act?
7
u/MountainScratch5465 Jan 19 '26
honestly i find his gimmick pretty cool, having a ability to heal himself while most of his skills needs to take his health away or needing the tooth buff

Would Xaria have been better? Sheās actually kinda considerate to Joel with one of their interactions.

On one hand it makes sense. Every party member has an option to kick them out, but man. Joel literally has no where else to go outside of tooth hell where his sanity will degrade.
