Why didnt Misery kill Quote instead of sending him to the labyrinth when Balrog knocked him out?

It may be that she thought it would just be more fun to torture and agonize Quote by putting him in an un-escapable place instead of killing him right away. But I like the theory more that she secretly wanted Quote to survive and defeat the Doctor, so with the small amount of free will she might have had, she put him in an area which would only serve as an obstacle and possibly even make him stronger.

You weren't.

Maybe take a second to read the OP of this thread again.

I thought it was just the Doctor's orders since she was bound to do whatever the crown asked her to. Maybe the Doctor didn't see Quote. And judging that the robots you encounter basically say something like "once you get in to the Labyrinth you never get out", I'm pretty sure the intent was to keep Quote from meddling with the Doctor's plans, not aware that he had the capability to escape.

Of course that could raise the question of why the Clinic would be there.

Actual theory I believe: i believe in the fact that misery wants the doctor dead, just so she can get freedom.

Joke theory: because this is a video game.

Because she has done so for all robots as a matter of practice.

Either that or Misery intended to toy with Quote later to make her feel more superior and more in control of her life than she actually is.

Quote is the protagonist. Ergo, he can't die unless some sort of plot element is revealed to allow resurrection. That's usually how these things go.

Also on a slightly less serious note she probably just didn't think Quote could get out, and wanted him to waste away like the rest of the robots?

Because she isn't COMPLETELY under the crown's control. I think she still has a bit of her own will left, just like Balrog.

Either that or she wanted Quote to get on a serious bodybuilding routine. I'm talking about 2-3 steroid cycles, heavy in trenbolone for that dry look.

Omygosh the arm barrier just made way more sense. It's why it was the labyrinth she chose and somewhere else like outer wall or plantation.

I think that misery wanted quote to live, so he could kill the doctor, as misery herself could do nothing in her power to stop him. So she sent Quote to the labyrinth hoping he would get stronger, find a way to escape, and defeat the doctor. She did save Quote after ballos was killed, so that makes me believe that she actually was on quote's side the whole time, and just couldn't help him because she had to follow the doctor's orders.

Perhaps kicking Quote when down would act like an RPG status effect?

*You have been dazed*

*ZAP*
-8 dmg

*You wake up!*

If she's dealt with someone like him before, perhaps she knows better then to fight directly, when banishment has proven effective in the past?

Simple, she didn't know that there was an escape to the labyrinth. Think about how Quote escapes the labyrinth. There was absolutely no way she could've predicted that,so she probably thought it was more fun and torturous to confine him to a place that's impossible to escape than to just kill him.

I disagree with most of the theories. She wanted Quote to live, because she still has free will of THOUGHT and still some free will of action. Misery thought Quote may have had a chance, if not a very small one to destroy the crown. She may have known about how to exit the Labyrinth, and that Quote could possibly figure it out.

Maybe Misery wanted Quote to kill Ballos eventually, so that she is released from the order of the crown.
