I'm really curious how bad the original, abandoned version of this game was

Quip Man Bad, sure, but even when he takes a backseat you're still left with the most lackluster map/exploration design in the series, and I'm much more annoyed about that

this might seem like an odd thing to say. I love Wuk Lamat and hate Myles

but what I mean is, both MP4 and Dawntrail have deeper flaws that are wholly unrelated to the scapegoat character showing up on every youtube thumbnail, so all the discourse gets stuck on the wrong thing

and since they physically separated all the "dungeons", you sacrifice all the interconnectedness for the sake of this blank motorcycle void

if I were in charge, I'd have cut the desert entirely, and linked the different biome dungeons to the three towers in Volt Forge

It's a much more straightforward mystery, and the "reveal" is mostly about untangling the sheer bizarreness of the details, and exploring character motivations.

Knives Out hinged on a genius misdirect (giving the audience an incomplete answer and switching perspective to the sympathetic "culprit" for a while). Glass Onion, much less so (a lot of gotcha edits that weren't rooted in character subjectivity). But WUDM doesn't attempt much misdirection at all
