This. Toby just gave The Knight exactly two extremely prominent distinguishing features which point toward exactly one important character we haven't seen yet because he thought it would be funny.

The Knight's identity was immediately revealed when you saw this, BUT ONLY IF you are a Truck Freak who has been obsessing about this game for years. The vast majority of the game's audience, normalfags who are checking in for the new release after four years or playing for the first time with none of the additional context like the Spamton Sweepstakes shit, are not going to immediately know it.
Those people are being led to believe that Carol is The Knight, the clearly villainous reindeer lady who is definitely involved in the conspiracy and who inexplicably keeps swords and the Bunker code in her house.
Until The Knight is actually unmasked, there is still dramatic tension about their identity, and what it means for their relationship with Kris and their role in the story as a whole. The people who are obsessive enough might basically already know it, but if you care enough about the story then you ought to be more interested in the consequences of whoever The Knight turns out to be than just treating it like a whodunnit where figuring out the mystery before the author explains it to you is the end of the story.
There's no reason to blow your load immediately, that's not how you write a story. Even for less significant details like confirming the fact that monsters bleed in Deltarune, Toby wisely chose to wait until an appropriate dramatic moment at the end of Chapter 4 instead of having it just casually revealed by Susie scraping her knee in Chapter 2 (or even earlier in Chapter 4 with the cut joke about Susie sucking Noelle's blood). There's a time and place for everything in a story.

Dess Knight was schizo-tier before Chapter 3 dropped, it was basically Gaster Knight but with the mystery box character who was technically in the game
The Knight's identity isn't a mystery anymore, this was the reveal for anyone who's been paying attention. Complaining that people have "called it" now is like complaining about people acknowledging which horse won the race.

You're gonna need a better argument than "Toby gave The Knight antlers and a baseball bat for uhhhh no reason"

>>714380952
Wow I wonder why The Knight would sound like Noelle
That's a real head-scratcher there

>Toby obviously very much wants players to think the knight is Dess
If you've been autistically combing through every piece of information Toby has published in the past 4-7 years then it's obvious to you that Dess is the Knight from the moment she shows up
If you've just been playing the game as it comes out like a normal person, Carol is the "obvious" suspect

>>713947568
>Like we actually don't know ANYTHING about any of the Holidays that would even be considered a hint as to which one is the Knight.
Noelle is Noelle
Rudy is a bedridden cancer patient
Carol gets called to the house by Kris and she's still there when we directly go from her house to the Church, where The Knight is already waiting for us
The Knight HAS A FUCKING BASEBALL BAT
gosh golly fucking gee I wonder which reindeer The Knight is

Nobody who denies Dess is the Knight can explain why The Knight is pretending to be Dess

>>712755504
>Why do you think it's a bat?
>okay it's clearly a bat the first time we see their weapon BUT what if that means nothing and they did that for no reason?
Dess is The Knight
