I didn't want to put this in the title of the message board, but... I admit it. I watched a Pacifist playthrough instead of playing the game. Originally I had the mindset that I would do a Pacifist run the first time (after seeing a few too many spoilers), but a friend commented on how difficult the game could be at times. Thus, I decided to watch a playthrough, and the storyline is amazing. Like, oh, my goodness, it's good. The further I got, however, the more I realized: I'm probably not going to be able to complete a pacifist run my first time, given how tough Asgore probably is on a pacifist run. I mean, dang, it looks hard!

A big thing about me is I don't like being the bad guy in games. I can only be a jerk to the bad guys or characters I find annoying, unless I know in advance that the decision is meaningless. I've really only played one game with a morality system, and that's Shadow the Hedgehog for GameCube and PlayStation (don't ask me why I played both). It doesn't help that I have anxiety. Thus, I must ask if you guys think I'd enjoy persuing the neutral path? If so, what level should I be at the end to have a chance of beating Asgore within the first five or ten attempts? Is it easier than it looks? Harder than it looks?

I'm sorry if you're disappointed in me not giving Undertale a chance before watching a playthrough. I had an idea for an AU story, but I had to know the storyline before I could write it, and well, I had anxiety about never being able to reset after getting a true pacifist run (I don't want to be a jerk and reset the perfect ending even if the characters are entirely fictional). Sorry for the stringy sentence by the way.
