Not meaning to be nitpicky here, but " like real life, everything in the game matters" is really far fetched. In real life, VERY little of your actions actually matter, and thats because real life is so big. In Undertale, the act of commiting genocide, can mean a huge difference. The world will shift, the fate of monsterkind and humankind can be threatened. It could mean the FUTURE. If I commit the act of gencide in real life, a dozen or so families will be emotionally deavastated from a loss of a loved one, I will be caught, tried under the charges of second degree murder and manslaughter, spend a few years in prison, fry in a electric chair, and the world would move on. The future of mankind would stay the same. Yeah, when it comes to choice and consequence in video games, its best to avoid comparing it to real life. For choice to be gripping, exciting, the consequence must be meaningfull and grand. And thats not how it goes in real life.

Besides that though, some good points, and its nice to have somebody push the converstion foreward.
