It really is a shame that Berdly is not gonna have any impact on the story from now, and it's not just because of me playing a Berdly avatar for months now
You'd think that if he's the only character who ever got killed off, he would actually have more of a role where his dissparance actually impacted the story, but it's the exact opposite. What was the point of ever setting him up for any character growth and revealing his backstory if you're gonna cuck him out of the story repeatedly by either him being busy, getting injured, dead, or just not doing anything in particular. It's like Toby Fox included him in the festival just because he had already set it up with chapter 4 phone call, but had no idea what to do with him so he's just kinda there like any other NPC. I even wrote him down as "King" in the festival section, and Queen as "Queen", but the characters only reacted to the "Queen" part, not even mentioning how I put Berdly as king.
It just more shows how Toby Fox didn't have it all planed out and even he had no idea what role Berdly would have on the story beyond Chapter 2, so he just kinda put him there.
Like... You put the chracater in the story yourself, set him up for character growth, revealed his backstory, and have him be an important character for the Weird Route, but then completly waste it and not explore him at all?
Bravo, Fox
