The skinner detail is icing to me. I’ve always role-played John as being very aggressive to the skinners. Wiping them out to protect his land and letting out that old inner animal now that Abigail is gone. I’ll be roaming the woods for days looking for this encounter just so John can have the satisfaction of knowing they fear him as much as I want them too.

As for the Javier scar at some point in the game he talkes about why he was so loyal to dutch, he was almost hanged for stealing chickens but dutch shot the rope during a mob revolt, that scar very well may be the rope burns suffered by hanging

Thats what I was gonna say, a rope scar. Clint Eastwood had one in the movie, "Hang em High". He was lynched and survived.

[@rjay3532]

[@dragonwolf0723]

It could, but hanging scars aren't really that... clean. They're bright red, or the same color as a hickey when they're very old. This was surely more of an open wound than a scar caused by friction or strangulation. Also, when you look at the type of rope they have for hangings in the game, you can see they're very large, which would then cause very large scars. In my opinion, it's more likely to come from a knife of some sort (not a doctor by the way, I just did some researchs lmao).

[@wakkowarner3716]

Wasn't that Hosea and the man that shot the rope is unkown?

Lazlow Jones said if you wear to take the entire script for RDR2 and stack it, it would be about 8 feet tall in height. The first amazing detail in this video shows us that he wasn't kidding at all. I cant believe that Dan, Michael and Rupert or some developer who worked on this part actually thought of us actually following Chatenay to see where he would go and decided to add dialogue and even an event. That shows you how much love was put into this game.

That Skinners being scared of John thing was cool af.... Wish there was more of that in this game, civilians and the gang talking about the crazy sh*t you do and being kinda scared of you

[@stoker4795]

That was part of the first game, if I remember correctly. The more you did, the more people knew your name and talked differently. John got famous/infamous.

[@charlesburns7391]

That would be cool. If you saved a town from gangs people would be friendly and talk to you and call you a hero and if you killed someone people would be always scared and leave when you walked in

[@StuartLugsden]

Just so people know, the reason why Roger tried to get Rockstar to say Colm's name properly is because he's Irish American. So you can imagine how he felt about that.

[@waffler-yz3gw]

i think it's fitting for them to mispronounce it, since they're american

[@StuartLugsden]

[@defense9969]

I noticed something about the Skinner brother detail, the same thing happens with Del Lobos. When you raid Del Lobo compounds and/or accept bounty hunting missions from Sheriff Freeman to hunt down Del Lobo members, you hear them talking in Thieves Landing about an "American Cowboy" who killed several Del Lobo members and that they will seek revenge. And if John then shows up they'll say "That's him!".

[@scholesey79]

I've just started playing this again, it's the best game ever made in my opinion

[@Alex_blaide]

I’m replaying it for the first time since buying it during quarantine. I forgot how great it really was.

[@combinecommand]

It beat a lot of records

[@jakemcgowan5686]

No doubt man look at what rockstar has done with gta 5 and rdr2 no other game studio has even came close, like what other game have people kept coming back and back too for years?

[@StuartLugsden]

The replay value is amazing. This is why Rockstar is the king of single player games. They master the open world and try to make it as immersive as possible with each game. Thats love and dedication right there.

In “blessed are the peacemakers” in ch3 one of the guys around the camp you try to sneak away from when you get winged says “colm’s” name correctly. Always loved that

Always a good day when Strange Man uploads!

[@itisfreak]

Tbh this is one of his weaker entries

[@ashroskell]

You know what I love so much about this game, and why I love these videos? It’s not just the meticulous, unparalleled attention to detail, or my serious doubt that we’ll ever see even Rockstar pull off such an artistic achievement in gaming ever again. It’s the fact that we are playing Arthur of all the possible characters in the game. What I mean is, when you next watch good western or gangster movie, pay attention to the henchmen around the main characters. The hero will often have a ragtag collection of eclectic personalities about him, whereas the bad guy will have the usual sneering heavies. The best movies are the ones where the villain’s gang are as weird and interesting as the villain, like in True Grit, The Long Goodbye (the Eliot Gould one) and others. So, why I love Red Dead is because Arthur is just, “the second henchman to the left,” so to speak. He’s not the main character of the story that will be told of the Vanderlind Gang, the O’Driscol’s, or of the, “hero,” law enforcers who hunted them. He’s meant to be the muscle; the heavy who gets three lines in a normal western and usually gets barely noticed when he’s killed off in the second reel, or when the heroes are wiping out the whole gang in the final act. I love how this story challenges the stereotype by leaning so heavily into it. If, like me, you have ever speculated about a bit part player and wondered if they have a family and friends that might miss them when the hero casually despatches them with a one liner, this is the story for you. Second henchman to the left, a life explored. Just wonderful. And it’s wonderful that you notice and care about all these tiny details that make his world such a rich place.

[@figga645]

You're right lmao he's a main side character 🤣

[@coinsinthecushion5800]

The amount of effort put into these videos is on a whole different level, makes me want to push the power button on this game all over again

[@figga645]

Just started a new playthrough two days ago. Do it, it's fun and you'll for sure find something new

[@juuls___2177]

Every time he posts one if these i think ‘this might be the last one’ but then he always finds more, so impressive

[@cannibalbunnygirl]

Well as long as there's reddit

[@mebadugood]

I don't know if you mentioned this before but one of the npc's hassling sadie in gainful employment is the same one that was hassling lenny and Arthur in a quiet time which Arthur tried to drown

[@HasansBack27]

hey there’s a detail i noticed doing another playthrough.. you know how you’re riding horses with the gang and there’s dialogue and you get far enough from them they start to yell? So on my playthrough in the first chapter i was riding with charles to teach me how to hunt deer . i got separated from him a bit to test things. i was far enough for him to yell but he didn’t.. i think it’s because he wasn’t trying to scare the animals away because you are looking for food for the camp.

[@BTipp24]

This game man. I have thousands of hours into it and I'm still finding new stuff. Quality work Strange Man!

[@arwamain4871]

Never encountered that last detail about the skinners... GOOSEBUMPS but also, as they should! John is a beast when he's crossed

[@SpaceNazi62]

Watched the law clean up six points, from a distance, after shooting up the place. I was hoping to go back and loot those I missed, surprised me to see the law picking up the dead.

[@tinowichura8965]

I just wanted to say how much I love your editing. Brilliantly done! It's a detail many might not notice, but I appreciate the effort a lot :)

[@deadlydonuts6666]

Seeing Sean so angry that they say Colm is just amazing

[@michaeljohns9003]

still amazes me the fact that both seasoned and brand new players are always finding something new

[@x-rayofmyhand8875]

I wish gangs had that dialogue of being afraid of Arthur and John more. Like I don't care how tough you think your gang is, you gotta be wary of a man who can take down a whole unit alone.

[@arthurwild6563]

The quick-cut editing at the end was perfect. Always enjoyed that about your videos.

[@johnleinweber6857]

Fantastic vid and editing, as always 💯

[@MilesCantRun]

The scar on Javier at 3:35 is most likely from a noose, it would be very difficult for someone to survive having their throat slit in the 1800s, let alone have the scar heal that well

[@Nonprofitgenie]

I've just started playing again but this time I am going through everything thoroughly. The mission where you have to steal the stage coach & but you sneak into the house first & rob it, only just realised that there was money in the chimney, $150 worth! Checking every chimney going forward from now on!

[@brianpruitt3254]

The background music you use in your videos go so well and makes your videos even that much better imo

In my game the Skinners have a pretty good reason to be scared considering I hunted them for like a week in game after what they did to uncle. I just camped in Tall Trees and after some coffee and breakfast went right back to it.

[@davycrockett8076]

Those videos give me goosebumps everytime! I miss RDR2 so much.

Great post. This is the first time that i have seen anyone mention the lawmen picking up the bodies. I cleared out a ranch house and took a long time looting it, whan all these lawmen showed up and started hauling out the bodies. They had a wagon because there were so many. It was so random and cool, but I though i was crazy because nobody ever mentioned it. Thanks for the validation!

[@dervernunftige8187]

Is it the best game ever Made ? Maybe, But it is 100% a masterpiece!

[@alexincolors7516]

I also watched not long ago the exact same interview and the thing with the ears was also mentioned there (I think if I don't mistake it for another video I've seen in the same day but anyway). So I wanted to say that the conversation about Colm's name surprises me and the whole way they've made it is so interesting and funny because Rodger really wanted to be Colom (Colem?) and was frustrated about that, so I guess they made that as some kind of middle ground which is nice gesture as well! I like that point in the video, great found by your side! I am constantly staying with open ears in the camp and somehow missed that (if it is before the mission where they rob Bronte)

[@VijaySingh-ik7bd]

My day is incomplete without Strange Man videos. Musinc, Editing. Man awesome.....

[@davidbondy2250]

More on 0451: it shows up as a passcode in System Shock as 451. It has since become a reference made in every immersive sim I have played. Deus Ex references this in the Liberty Island mission, with a door passcode being 0451. 0451 has been used in Deus Ex Human Revolution and Mankind Divided as passcodes too. It also shows up as a passcode in Arkane Studio’s 2017 game Prey, another immersive sim. It wouldn’t surprise me if 0451 shows up in some other works of Arkane like Deathloop or Dishonored. However, I have either not played them or (in the case of Dishonored 1) not encountered it in my 90 minutes of gameplay. I have read that it shows up in System Shock 2, Thief, and the BioShock games as well.

[@jamosoos3945]

Why is such a great channel which reveals secrets so (little). I don't know any better than this channel

[@AlexGTAgamer]

I first noticed the lawmen carrying away dead bodies detail after clearing out Hanging Dog Ranch of O'Driscolls. Didn't get the chance to loot all of the bodies before the lawmen showed up and started taking them away.

[@noellemcclain]

[@antonyrivera8318]

I think the EARS and Lawmen you mentioned already.

[@yuhaye3986]

The skinners are the only gang to admit they’re afraid, I’m sure every gang was terrified of Arthur and the rest of the gang but they never admitted to it because they never knew what the others would say, the skinners on the other hand are literally like brothers to each other and will comfort each other if something is bothering them which in turn makes them more honest about how they feel and what they fear

[@phydeux]

Another place the 0451 code shows up is in Fallout 4 in a bunker where you get a unique revolver that adds fire damage.

[@cfu5305]

[@hanselthecaretaker]

With Javier’s neck scar, it’s also possible he was being strangled with something similar to fiber wire, which would’ve left a scar like that if it cut into the skin enough. Not sure if anyone could technically survive a slit throat, unless the intent was more to torture rather than kill.

[@cannibalbunnygirl]

lots of people have had their throat cut and live. You just need to cut one very special spot near the ear to kill via an artery. You also need to cut very, very deep to do any real damage.
