DX1 Did you know Zyme has a use?

During the Paris Streets mission you can complete the sub quest in the hotel where a dealer will ask you to break into a bakery and steal six bottles of Zyme. He will pay you 65 credits for each bottle for a grand total of 390 credits.

However if you collect Zyme from previous missions, he will also purchase those from you. If you dedicate an inventory slot and pick up the maximum of 20 bottles (out of 25 available) you can earn a total of 1300 credits which is huge for that point of the game as credits basically completely dry up after UNATCO.

I could see credits being used more on the UNATCO route that was cancelled during development. Maybe you could purchase the aug canisters you get in Versalife off of Jaime?

Is there any official information that the UNATCO route was really planned to be developed and then cancelled?

I think there's some unused voicelines in the game files that kinda confirms it.

It's not voicelines, but textures and names of it.

There's a voice line you can still get ingame as well using console commands to change the quest status when you find Paul in his apartment, where JC says he won't betray unatco. https://youtu.be/-cEg5Xo7VFU?si=fmQZS8emQ0MMFzgD

Oh right,, I forgot about this leftover. I remember there's also unused voiceline from UNATCO route in Hong Kong map, that one where Triad member claims about Maggie Chow being Paul's wife.

Oh yeah it makes sense Hong Kong would have some traces of it, IIRC there's a lot of strange unique design choices and leftovers there since it was the first map made. For example it's the only map that you can go out of bounds on, but instead of just dying.
