One of the most heart-wrenching scenes in the entire game. Makes me choke up just thinking about it

A lot of people play the first Disco Elysium run very milquetoast and timid and end up missing out on a ton of content as a result. One thing about the game that is counterintuitive compared to other games is that you're never really punished for picking crazy or deranged dialogue options, and in fact many of them reward you, often with some of the best content in the game. So that's my first advice - don't be afraid and instead just commit to the crazy. Don't back down if given the option, commit. Even seeing the various unique game over screens is worthwhile.

As for political vision quests, my personal favourite is the communist quest. The moralist quest also has some interesting world building and a very interesting conclusion, but the communist vision quest has some of the best writing in the game I think and offers a very valuable counterpoint of optimism that feels very needed in the game. I really like the contrast between the conclusion of the communist quest compared to the dialogue with the Deserter. At least if you succeed on the final red check and get the "true ending" or whatever you want to call it of the communist quest.
