How do you top a great game? How do you undo the process of catharsis that occurs at the end of the game so you are challenged once more into becoming a fragmented ~~Art Cop~~ ~~sorry cop~~ Communnard.

They would have been told to expand the appeal, dumb down the rhetoric, and trick the masses into buying-in. They would have ultimately sold out no matter what.

Kinda glad to have played the best game and it stays the best.

My hunch is that people were fired precisely because of this. The direction a person wanting to make Disco Elysium 2 as artistically good as possible would take it is very different from the direction a person wanting to make money would.

The only good artistically good direction is to dump Harry and Kim, and to dump the psyche system. Just have the story take place in the universe, maybe not even as a detective story. But those are all things people love about the first one, so a suit would obviously want them in the next game.

Completely agree with this. I’d keep the psyche system though and just have them be different personalities. Depending on the main character’s life experiences, you could have one that’s a child, obsessed with tinkering, etc.
