How do you feel about the deleted distilled Emotions voice lines from PN2? Also do you think they should have kept it in and even added more?

I feel like it was a very fun concept, and I like how the lines we've found helps to expand the characters a bit!

However, I can see why they didn't add it, and I think that they were probably right not to—it goes against one of the major themes of Hollis' level, which is lowkey one of the major themes of the game: the Psychonauts don't fix people, they give people the strength and skills they need to fight their own battles. Hollis' Hotstreak is all about how going into someone's mind and messing around is a Bad Idea, and toying with someone's emotions with the bottles lowkey goes against that.

#ask zaz #psychonauts 2 #and like. i feel like the bottles could still exist inuniverse/be utilized in fanworks really well!!#but in the game itself the mechanic would have undermined one of the core themes #i need you to know that i think about dion's deleted lines so fucking much #''i was just scared and jealous of the changes you're going through''#JEALOUS??#JEALOUS?????#shaking him #like yeah i know these lines are said under the influence of the bottled emotions #and should be taken with a grain of salt/don't define the character #but something along those lines had to already be there for the bottle to bring it to the surface yanno??#so even if dion views his sadness line about the family falling apart as an irrational fear #even if he knows that they're still a family deep down #it's still something he's felt at one point or another
