Poll #2: Favourite route poll

• Would you rather show them MERCY and free them from their prison or face the challenges of the genocide route to slay them all?
• Feel free to explain your pick, but please try to steer away from simple "Pacifist is the best!!1!!" types of comments. Give us reasons, give us arguments, try to persuade the opposition so your favourite comes on top!

Neutral is by far my My favourite because I can’t find a issue with it It’s basically most of the game with 15 different sad endings on a phone call and allows you to allow horrible monsters to die or good or innocent monsters to live and yes flowey does give you advice but can you trust flowey for me hell no flowey tried to kill me twice in the game and is way to unpredictable

Now genocide is flat out rushed like the entire route is designed to be boring as hell or just insanely difficult like the only sad moments on genoside is the death of pupyrus Muffet toriel sans undying Asgore and maybe flowey and metaton which only last few a few seconds and if you know what your doing you can beat undying and sans in 30 minutes so 75% of the genoside run is going back and forth killing monsters for no reason and the only story you get is a better flowey back story because everyone is basically dead or gone or ran away I honestly if you want a better genocide that makes you feel bad and does not make you bored I think doki doki literature club did much better describing why death is bad and is irreversible unlike Undertale where I can just reset

Pacifist is also rushed like first off youtubers we’re forced to do pacifist at the release of Undertale until it stopped at 2016 Why because they get treated badly if they didn’t or get disliked bombed or spam reported also the rest of the pacifist run is help Undyne be closer to alphys and it’s just a worser version of the pupyrus date like with pupyrus I can understand he never seen a human before and is insanely hyped up and don’t know much about dating but alphys like alphys is a scientist and a inventor there is no reason why alphys wants to date a human also this route ruins alphys character even more like with the neutral route alphys backstabbed you and wasted your time and has the same problem GTA 4 phone had alphys has no clue how to stop calling you and it’s legit pointless cuz alphys has secret cameras everywhere in underground alphys knows we can solve all of this by our selfs but in the pacifist route it makes me wonder how the hell is alphys not fired or she quit yet because the only good thing she created is metaton that’s it like refusing to send algamates cuz they look deformed that’s every monster and you refuse to let them see there families and alphys is suppost to be so emotionally unbalanced about it where that won’t happen again spoiler alphys created flowey just because the king ordered it and alphys said nothing back like alphys is a scientist you don’t follow a kings order unless your 100% forced to like algimates shown bringing back people to life is a bad idea why do it again also alphys did not even save you from those Algimates trying to get the player like aligames when they get close to a human a auto battle scene happens and there fights are easy cuz they are not dangerous but alphys is like NOPE I saved your life Imma start stop being a questionable or bad character and let you go like the true lab is a cool place but dear god flowey s back story is much better if nature just brought him back to life out of no where rather than alphys just did it for no reason also Asriel boss fight does look cool but it’s just there for shock value for me im not a huge fan of hopes and dreams its a decent theme but not against a god I can show other video game themes but your best nightmare sounds way more fitting against a god and it requires no effort to beat the Asriel boss fight you can do near nothing and win cuz it constantly respawns you at the checkpoint where you died that’s all I can go on about it but you get the point
