Was wracking my brains trying to figure out the location here. There's not too many in DX:MD - Prague, Dubai, Switzerland and London - but I didn't recall encountering a scene like this in the only one that fit the terrain (Dubai). Turns out this is actually from an expansion called "A Criminal Past" set in Arizona that I wasn't aware of - https://deusex.fandom.com/wiki/Penley_T._Housefather_Correct...

I enjoyed the game, interesting depiction of future Prague too. There's some slightly iffy voice acting and interesting pronunciations (pronouncing Václav as "Vaklav" instead of "Vatslav"), which is interesting since there's clearly some Czechs involved (see "Picus") :D

edit: I should explain the "picus" thing for non-DX and/or non-Czechs. There is a media company in the latter two Deus Ex games called "Picus". This is close to a rude word in Czech: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/p%C3%AD%C4%8Dus. Also fun fact, I was told "čus, píčus!" (pron choos, peechoos, first word is a loanword from German "tschus") meaning roughly "hey, ya fucker!" was how you say "cheers" when I first arrived here. It can be how you say cheers, but only to good friends who you know enjoy talking like that :)
