There is nothing you can do that will prevent you from doing anything in future resets ever. This is not that kind of game. It is not an asshole game.

Seriously, holy shit people are quick to call it an asshole game for shit that doesn't exist.

Not talking about anyone here, but it's really common.

It is not an asshole game.

For those people who are quick to get scared or have triggers to [highlight text] horrific abominations, the Photoshop Flowey/Omega Flowey fight is a kick in the shins and not everyone can get past it because it's frakkn creepy.

I silently judge people for going full-on pacifist in their first run instead of doing what feels natural :v

[TheBronzePickle]

But, but, what if going full pacifist is what feels natural for someone? Are they wrong for being inclined towards non-violence over violence?

I personally really liked the idea of 'the game where no one has to die'. It's what drew me in, and I can proudly say I didn't kill anyone, even by accident.

[monk12]

I'll admit I went full pacifist first time through, just because that's The Thing I can do in this game and no other.

And because I can, I had to.

And we all know where that thought leads.

[bluejello]

yea, I did it because the game let me, one of the few things I knew  before playing.

[Criptfeind]

Well, I just played the game for the first time today, and got what I think is probably the pacifist ending. It was pretty natural, since one of the first things your told in the game is to not hurt anyone. Although the big king guy was really hard (for certain definitions of the word hard I guess) to fight because of that, but otherwise, if you just go along with it you're not really incentivized to hurt anyone ever.

(Edit: Well, actually, you are told to hurt one other guy, the robot, but not in the normal way I guess)

[Aedel]

You still have some things to take care of. Why don't you pay Papyrus a visit before you fight the king?

[Criptfeind]

Well, I did all the things afterwards and such.

[Egan_BW]

It actually does seem different from most games that make you feel bad for doing bad things in that it never tells to to kill anything. Not killing things is the correct option, and it makes sure to tell you this.

I like that the game actually doesn't hammer you for killing people. Sans will say he understands self defense if you haven't butchered everything in your path. He only starts

pissing on you if you keep killing people to see if he has new dialogue.

Did you pay Alphys a visit?

[Criptfeind]

Did you pay Alphys a visit?

yes

[Aedel]

Did you pay Alphys a visit?

yes

You got the pacifist ending, yeah

Sorry. I have grown accustomed to asking all these questions because three of my friends have said they got the pacifist end already when it was just the 'kill nobody but Asgore' neutral ending.

Yeah the game is actually super relaxed about judging you morally.

The only thing Sans truly condemns you for on a neutral run is killing Papyrus - it's clear that he never intends to kill you and he surrenders when he's hurt, so there's no possible self-defense angle there.

The idea is not that you've necessarily been evil on a neutral run, it's that your powers allow you to do better and make things right.
