@@jackislegitterrified3689 you would think but the fury puts us through such debilitating torture that even the stubborn gives up, the cold doesn't feel anything at all, he's detached completely from the body. That's why he knows our nature as the long quiet, of being nothing, in the quantum beak fury ending. That's why I said it's uncharacteristic
@@sandromaspindzelashvili5767 He just said it looked painful. It was simply an observation. He is shown being somewhat sympathetic in the Princess and the Dragon route if you simply leave her to rot their. She ask what she ever did to deserve you, and then the Cold says "Nothing."
This was my first ever route lol, I figured I'd let the narrator guide me before trying to free the princess, and got this, with the full body razor ending. I regret nothing, amazing first route in an even more amazing game
I still think we're the "dragon" in this world of fantasy tropes. So more of a feathered lizard than a scaly bird. Edit: I have heard tales of the devs confirming our bird-ness. I like to think the comparison still stands though. Dragon -> dinosaur -> bird.
This whole line is gold, best dialog for comedy in the early stages but also one of the most raw endings in the game with the empty cup. The execution of it is all on point. Other princesses have designs or stories I prefer, but razor is just an experience you can't go without.
This has to be, by far, one of my favorite routes. All the voices present, the sheer snark in all of the characters, Cheated (and everyone for that matter) totally disregarding the Narrator, really great run.
Voice of the smitten : She's gorgeous! Absolutely divine ! Me : You got a problem my friend. Voice of the Stubborn : Yes ! Behold, the perfect woman ! Me : Nevermind, it is I who got a problem.
The voice of the Cheated is absolutely my favorite voice. The fact he just keeps wanting to win and sounds like he is getting more pissed everytime we lose is so funny and relatable to me, especially when he was done with bejng in those woods instead of spawning at the cabin lmao.
Funny thing is the fact that if you asked her more detailed questions, she actually gets impatient, drops the act, frees herself, and goes straight after you anyway.
I think it's more sometime after the narrator and the voices say they've said their piece but are happy if you want to continue to delay the inevitable by asking more questions. And it also happens if you try to leave. Also if you're unarmed, you automatically try to run for the stairs before she skewers you. And if you do have the blade you automatically try to fight back, only for her to easily parry then slice off your hand (fittingly the cursor flips to reflect that), before doing the inevitable.
This game has so many paths and content within it every video I watch of it I get introduced to like 3 new variations that I didn't even know existed. This is what happens when a visual novel is like 15 gigs. I can't wait to see a compilation of all the possible paths and endings.
"Shes gorgeous! Absolutely divine!" "Yes! Behold, the perfect woman!" "Do you think we can throw HER out the window?" "I'd say we bow down to her right now if that had ever even slightly worked for us." "We're screwed. I quit! I'm done! Forget it!" I can't believe I'm being fully genuine when I say that the schizophrenic voices in your head are the best part about this game.
While I like the new Happily Ever after route a lot, this still is one my favorite routes. "I assure you, there's nothing hidden there." Along with the 'Hehe." just sends me into gigglefits. Also, THE LOOK.
I've watched many ytbers play this game and I've beaten it myself yet never seen anybody get it nor did I. I didn't know it existed until this video. And holy shit, no other route has made me laugh harder and be more disturbed at the exact same time. While beast, Nightmare, and Grey are all very creepy respectively, the knifes through the arms is the most conceptually disturbing thing in the whole game imo. New favorite route!
I am the Bone of my Sword Steel is my Body and Fire is my Blood. I have created over a Thousand Blades, Unknown to Death, Nor known to Life. I Have withstood Pain to create many Weapons Yet those Hands will never hold Anything. So, as I Pray-- Unlimited Blade Works"
I think its not taking the blade the second time, which causes the contrarian to come along on the third and throw it out the window. Since you don't have a blade to fight her at the end you wouldn't end it by finally striking a killing blow.
The Voice of the Cheated sounds VERY SIMILAR to Tariq Khan's voice acting as Evrart Claire in Disco Elysium. I could have sworn it was the same voice actor!
My first ever time playing, I somehow went from Spectre to Nightmare to Wraith and got four chapters that way, but other than that I don't thiiiink anyone else has four chapters??
i mean technically there's the route that goes razor -> the arms race -> mutually assured destruction but that's basically the same as this except you have the blade

Isn't protagonist something like feathered hydra? Or that kind of dragon, who can regrow cut head into two new ones? It would explain, why it has so many pesonalities everytime it gets cut.
The Long Quiet is heavily avian. Beaked, taloned, and heavily feathered. When the Narrator split the Long Quiet from the Shifting Mound, he imparted/imprinted much of himself onto the Long Quiet, resulting in the corvid and owlish attributes of the player character.
"Listen.I would like to look at a bird"
That whole interaction was gold
mhm
when does that happen? (in the vid)
@@internetsalt 17:15
the main character is a bird she’s already looked at one
He must have been so happy when he finally got to meet the Narrator.
In a way Smitten wasn't kidding in us winning her heart.
So, the fact that the protagonist feared the possibility of the princess having a blade was what gave her the blade?
I think so. The protagonist's perception of the princess is what really shapes her.
Not only gave her a blade, made her body out of them. It is posible that the blade in the first chapter is also an extention of her body
@@danieleduardocastillomonto4574 I think they are different bladess. The one in the cabin is a part of the illusion crafted by the narrator. The one she makes is a part of her ability to shift accordingly with how she’s perceived.

Yeah the long quiet is a bird like creature he even has a beak if what the tower says is to be trusted.
Honestly didnt expect Long Quiet to awaken some fraction of his godhood to body the princess like that. He literally cast domain expansion on her.

@@moxstoleyoursocks2241I mean it was described in the endings as the voices being dormant or suppressed but never really gone, they just can’t talk.
