Red Dead Redemption 2 still hides countless secrets, which clearly show Rockstar’s ambitions with their western. Some discoveries are sometimes more interesting than expected.
When it was released, the game Red Dead Redemption 2 aroused a lot of emotion with its storyline and the richness of its gameplay. Already marked by a successful first episode, the license was praised a second time. Even today, while the software is already a few years old, players continue to unearth secrets and winks left by Rockstar. Unfortunately, not all mysteries can be solved, for the simple reason that some elements are only remnants of unused content.
By searching through the game files, fans were able to discover that nearly 60% of the elements designed by the developers had been removed from the final version. In the wiki, which lists them, we find dozens of quests, characters, animals and sometimes areas. In most cases, these elements were not interesting enough according to the developers. But in others, the cause is much more original.
New discovery in Red Dead Redemption 2
With so much attention to detail, it would have been weird not to make a mistake. A few days ago, the YouTube channel “Red Dead Redemption Stories” revealed an unused audio file from the game, which is actually a blooper. As a reminder, this term is used to designate a missed sequence, but which becomes funny, like in a blooper reel. In this audio from the quest “A Quiet Evening” in Act 2 of Red Dead Redemption 2, Dutch Van Der Linde is heard explaining that he cannot go to West Elizabeth. Except that as you can hear, his voice actor Benjamin Davis really struggles with his lines and misses right in the middle of the sentence.
Suddenly, he comes out of character and says “f*cK” (f*ck), before apologizing. Obviously, what surprises and makes you laugh is the total disconnect with the serious moment of the scene. Moreover, some may have noticed that certain lines of dialogue which follow were ultimately also removed from Red Dead Redemption 2.
A now legendary voice
This is not the first time that this YouTube channel has revealed this type of Red Dead Redemption 2 content and we hope that it will not be the last. If its creator often publishes unused dialogues from Arthur Morgan, or from Dutch’s gang, he always reminds us that they are complicated to find. Rockstar ensures that the development and production phases remain secret, even several years after a title’s release. This did not prevent the studio from understanding the potential of Roger Clark’s (Arthur Morgan) voice, as he will once again play his character in an audiobook titled Red Dead History.
