So enough people here are talking about this game to make a topic about it worthwhile.
For the people who don't know, Undertale is a quirky RPG whose main selling point is the fact that the player doesn't have to kill anyone.
The story, as stated by the game itself:
Long ago, two races ruled over the Earth: HUMANS and MONSTERS.
One day, war broke out between the two races. After a long battle, the humans were victorious. They sealed the monsters underground with a magic spell. Many years later... Legends say that those who climb the mountain never return.
There's actually a lot more to it than that, but at that point you're better off playing the game for yourself. This is a game that's best experienced blind, so for everyone who's beaten the game please be careful about spoilers.
So, for a starting topic: Who's your favorite character from the game, assuming you can pick just one? I'm partial to Undyne myself; the introduction to her fight was hilarious, the fight itself was awesome, and assuming you went pacifist and therefore were able to befriend her she's both crazy awesome and adorably dorky at the same time.

I like most of the characters, but somehow I love Napstablook. Their theme is pretty cool (plus it is the base for Dummy! and Spider Dance) and they are such a poor little downer that I just really wanna cheer up
Also, Mettaton! Why? Mettaton. Enough said.
EDIT: Temmie! How could I forget Temmie? Best character(s) in the game!

I think I'll play some more Undertale today.
I've kind of struggled to get into the game, but hearing everyone else raving about it makes me want to persevere! I don't know what it is, I think going through the ruins at the beginning put me off somehow. Plus, (no spoilers) I encountered one of the first pivotal boss battles and let's just say it didn't work out the way I'd intended. I need to start over.
My favourite characters... Well, there aren't many to go on (since I've only played through the first 30 minutes or so) but I do have a soft spot for Toriel and Sans is just funny! Toriel especially, though. I don't know, I just sympathise with her and think she's a warm, motherly character despite some things.
Has there been any suggestion about Undertale coming to consoles one day? |

Papyrus is my favourite character no question, he has some of the funniest lines IMO, and such a well written genuine nice character, and his battle music is my favourite in the whole game.

I love sans, because he's so cute! I just wanna snuggle him! >•< not to mention that the fanmade underswap sans is just too much for me.

My favourite character is Asgore. Why? Play the game and find out!
Also Flowey and his many facial expressions. |

My favorite is all of them probably sans or Asgore. Sans is just hilarious and Asgore has quite an interesting backstory and the build up to him was absolutely perfect.

I adore all the characters, but Sans, Alphys and Asgore are my babies.
There's a lot of fandom hate for Asgore, it makes me feel sad. ):
... My favourite fight was definitely Undyne though. Uncoincidentally I aced it.
(Does this forum have spoiler tags? It might be a valuable thing for this thread - UT is a game that can easily lose impact if spoilered??) |

Can't choose between Undyne and Papyrus really.
Papyrus has a completely relentless innocence and faith in goodness to the point where he's oblivious to evil. I find it really endearing.
Undyne is awesomely tough, never gives up, also watching her cook was hilarious. |

As far as I know, the closest thing to spoiler tags is coloring the text so that it's the same color as the background. Like so.
I'm not sure what my favorite boss fight was. They started awesome and only went uphill from there. As far as impact left goes, however, that probably goes to Undyne, the neutral final boss, or the true pacifist final boss.
For Undyne: the intro was amazing, the music was amazing, and the block mechanic was fun.
For the neutral final boss: Without spoiling too much, that fight was...well, "what the *arg*?" sums it up pretty well. It was a little annoying given what happened after one died, especially considering it's likely to kill one multiple times, but it was freaking insane.
And the pacifist final boss can be summed up with two words: The feels! The music, the character you're up against and why you're fighting them... The downside is that gameplay-wise it's intentionally very easy, but everything else about it makes up for that in spades.

Sans. Yes. I have a bit of a crush on him...
I like everybody else, too. Papyrus especially. It'd probably be kind of weird to really like Sans but not like Papyrus too...

Did anyone already find the JonTron remixes of Undertale? They are hilarious
There is Crowbar Crusher for example (medium hotland spoiler) or ECHalovania (MASSIVE no-mercy-run or genocide spoiler).

I love this game! I definitely adore Undyne as well, she is so cool, and Sans is both hilarious and also, well, feels, for reasons I won't spoil. I really just want to hug him. And everyone else is wonderful too. Well, I did get pretty angry at Flowey for a while haha.
I think it's amazing how much the game is aware of what you do. It's amazing and terrifying. Also how it makes you rethink just what killing monsters like you do in most RPGs means. In this game, they're really just people and you have to think about it. It might not have been a long game, but it left me thinking for a long time, months to come afterwards.
There's so much more I wanna say but, I just can't think of the words, haha!

Toby Fox, the creator of Undertale, has said in his Twitter (fwugradiation) that he'll start making another game this year. If you're not sure that it's going to be a game, in the Undertale Kickstarter he said that if he got enough money he'd make another game and that "it's very nature is shrouded in darkness".

Huh, now I got curious... I figured out which files to edit to rename yourself mid-playthrough... Now it got me wondering what could be done with it...
Basically, a particular name can't be played properly, as it triggers Undertale to be in "hard mode". All enemies are replaced with much harder versions, bosses gain new attack patterns, etc...
Hard mode ends after Toriel / the ruins, though, as A) it is not really meant to be a serious thing, more a parody trope and B) it'd mean Toby had to do a whole second set of enemies most people probably wouldn't even get to see
Now I just wanna see what happens if you switch to the hard mode name when you are past Tori already.
Of course there is other peculiar things to do with this, but I'll come to that after trying the hard mode thing.

I think Toby just made the screen fade to black if you change the name to the Hard Mode name, as it'd ruin the True Pacifist boss fight Big Reveal. |

Yeah, I have read that too, but it also said that would happen in any room past the ruins, yet I already made it all the way from Snowdin to Alphys' Lab.
To be honest, the reveal is the thing I am most interested in, as Hard Mode seems to use another flag besides the name itself that wasn't set. Either that or he really did not add any other enemies outside the ruins.

As a favorite character, though it is a hard choice (I like them all) I think I am going to pick a surprising one: Flowey.
Believe me, I hated his non-guts, and he really REALLY freaked me out (you know which part I am talking about...) but... after completing a full pacifist run, well... just do it. Just do it THEN start up the game again after you complete it.
Ouch.

My last bibble got me thinking, this thread pretty much got abandoned because the lack of spoiler tags ruined most discussion, didn't it?
So what if we could use this to recommend and post links to fan content we wanted to share, with the understanding that there would be spoilers for anyone who clicked the links?

I love Senor Pelo's Underpants series. Now, I have to warn you, it is the essence of spoilers, as the entire series literally only showcases the different endings of Undertale in a humorous form. It's also a little loud, so headphone users be warned.
Lastly, I would recommend you to watch it with subtitles, even if you are not hearing impaired. They add to the experience
And now, without further ado WHO'S TOUCHING THE LINK???

There's a lot of good stuff out there, but I decided to share this AMV because of how beautifully animated and emotional it is. It's pretty much Undertale in a nutshell.
I also wanted to share one of my own personal projects, on the off-chance that anyone here is interested in askblogs.
