The fact the strange man keeps rdr2 alive for those of us that loved it is awesome.. Best game ever in my book.

[@jacobiannace9476]

completely agree!

I laughed out loud at the guard's reaction to John stealing a carrot. Was not expecting this one to be so funny. Nice work!

[@nitrolight1778]

John's Hosea moment "I stole a carrot, and the sheriff decided I would swing for it!"

[@Mushroom.Madness.]

Then running around the corner and eating it 😂 really clever and that has become one expensive carrot

There's other things I've seen he hasn't done yet. Nothing big, little details like the variety of insect life varies in different climates but the insects aren't in the in game Compendium. I've been playing my current playthrough since September of 2021, in the epologue now for over a year. It's like a Holodeck Vacation. I have my own, missions and challenges in the game.

I love that you played through the Carrot Heist for us, thank you for that.

[@elirchi9214]

And even better, he even got the unique cutscene where you get out of jail without paying.

[@csintalanpalacsinta7389]

My theory regarding the wooden leg: I like to think that the Strawberry shop owner is a Civil War veteran. Assuming he is around 60 years old in 1899, he could have easily enlisted in the army as a volunteer in 1861. Mind you, limb amputation was the most common surgical procedure executed at that time (three out of four surgeries, or about 60.000 operations; the introduction of the Minié ball was quite bone-shattering). The shop owner's leg reminds me of a specific prosthetic from around that time found in Woodhull, Ilinois. You can search it up yourself!

[@DeAthWaGer]

That actually puts some perspective in the situation of the homeless fake Civil War vet you meet, maybe they planned the shop keeper to interact with him about stolen valor?

[@fistovuzi]

this was before penicillin. an infected mosquito bite and they'd amputate.

[@Jake-nt3tg]

The theatre ticket secret is a really cool one. Honestly amazing how something so missable, and such a small item can be held in your inventory, for hundreds of hours until you decide to go to the theatre and watch something there. A specific theatre at that. I'd assume some people would have grabbed the ticket and just forgot about it. Then not noticed when they eventually did go to that theatre. It's small things like that, which put this game Levels above any other game ever made in terms of detail. I truly think red dead 2 will be unmatched in terms of detail until the videogame market eventually dies.

[@outlaw6898]

The ticket is actually one of the requirements for gold on the Gilded Cage mission that’s how I knew about it. You know you get a ticket from that stage performer lady? The one you meet in Van Horn in the bar & you have to fight the Sherry Giant. I forgot she gives you a ticket for most of my playthrus & once I realized what I was missing I felt so stupid lol

[@ArthurLamoyne]

I knew a man with a wooden leg named Smith. (Sorry, I don't know the name of his other leg.)

[@SkyfighterZX]

The Wapiti one hurts so much, such chaos and death for getting the natives of Rain Falls out of that land for the oil, ending up with their tribe being destroyed just for the land to be dry, i never knew this but i did visit the reservation as John expecting a oil field to be there and instead only found some remnants of a driller and the place was deserted, all of that for nothing, thats so sad

[@lacytaylor1501]

It's so frustrating, the fact that not only did they do horrid things to the people there while trying to get them to leave to get to the oil, but also so many of their young men got manipulated by Dutch and lost their lives fighting a completely pointless fight! Rain Falls lost his last child, his home, and so many people for nothing!

[@SkyfighterZX]

@@lacytaylor1501exactly... it hurts because we know Rains Falls was a caring leader that loved his people and loved peace, Eagle Flies was like his father but young and naive with blood ready to boil but ultimatly he wanted his people to be free and respected, and Dutch made him boil, the wapiti indians got totally destroyed by everyone around them without ever doing anything to anger anyone, incredible how a small part of the story has so much depth

[@MOONSUN4Life]

I'd never seen that cutscene where John bribes his way out of jail! Eating that carrot at the end was a nice touch! The Strawberry general store owner's wooden leg is a great find, my first thought was that he lost his leg in the war, but he seems a bit young to have taken part in the Civil War... Another awesome video!👍

[@saxonrowe1800]

I’ll try to overlook the fact that John stole a regular carrot, before eating a wild carrot after buying his freedom, and trying to look like a tough guy while chewing 😅

[@imperialkain4838]

I just robbed the Strawberry store moonshine still and now I feel awful. The storeman kept saying "I work hard!" and to know he has only one leg...

[@bloodyfitnerd1947]

I hogtied him and knocked him out in his basement after I took everything he had down there. Almost feel bad now, almost.

[@zerotwoxsakurajimamai9040]

I'm still surprised at how much this game has to offer, even after all this time there is still new things to find every now and then. Love your videos btw it always has a nice ambiance with the music and all it kinda feel cosy

[@stoicaliviu510]

these are not new things , every youtuber has presented them

[@EmperorGuyver]

@@stoicaliviu510 Yet people are STILL finding new things is his point. "Every youtuber", yet still didnt get all of them, there's still plenty not found yet.

[@InlandDiscoEmpire]

I love these because I still play it to this day and there is just endless little details and small AD/Designs/names of buildings/random NPC dialogue etc. that go unappreciated, but also goes to show how seamless it all is that it immerses us in the world first few times you play.

[@FilbeeGaming]

There's also a hidden store next to the butchers near the train station in Saint Denis if you've not covered it

[@gurpinderwarar4625]

How's doing cowpoke

[@Randorita]

The electric chair mission has some Arthur’s funniest conversation while he take the criminal back to Saint Denis.

[@romanbdk6952]

[@RESGorilla]

The market segment is now one of my favorite things lmao. So thrilling up until the end!

[@Babab0y1]

That transition 3:46 was SMOOTH

[@mickyb.8014]

Well spotted, super smooth ain't it?!

[@kananiilo]

This man is almost single handedly keeping the game alive😂👏

[@John-996]

The carrot one is amazing crazy all the insane details in this game and how interactive and reactive the game world is.

[@stephanusandi9098]

It's just my theory: The store owner with prosthetic leg was probably because of some timber work accident. Some cities in RDR2 have characteristic in job area. Just like in Annesburg, where mostly the residents are miner, Saint Denis's are industrial / business worker, Rhodes's are farmer, and Strawberry's are lumberjack.

[@StuartLugsden]

I can’t believe I never discovered the last one! I love hanging around the market because theres a nice atmosphere and I often approach the stalls to see whats for sale. Edit: Reminds me of that unmarked food stand in Hove beach in GTA 4.

[@jordanthomasina2854]

You’d think the ancient tomahawk would have a stone edge not a metal one And I hate going through the market and always accidentally bumping into npcs and feeling like an ass lol

[@mickyb.8014]

I hate that market, it's almost like you can't not bump into someone, or somehow offend someone no matter how hard you try not to. Real awkward atmosphere there, captures the market mood perfectly.

[@jordanthomasina2854]

@@mickyb.8014 FR you described it well lol 😂

[@mickyb.8014]

@@jordanthomasina2854 it's like they did it on purpose to screw up your game... Crazy busy place is Saint Denis anyway, but that market, just drains me does all 10 yards of it. Peace.

It's been great fun to watch your creativity and confidence grow through your writing and video editing on this channel. And now you're scripting little scenes for us at the end of your vids? Talk about building a sharp skill set. Keep up the fine work, Strange Man!

[@big_man_6980]

The year is 2089. I am on my deathbed. I open KZbin for one last video. “70+ never seen before details in rdr2” I die happy

[@richerworldproductions]

Fun fact about the Tomahawk; it is actually a pipe tomahawk. It's a pipe and an axe.

[@DeAthWaGer]

Funnily enough I was smoking a pipe watching this and had no idea. I thought it was a thumb grip!

[@tontonjabba2985]

An amazing channel about an amazing game!

[@ued_general5805]

There is a random encounter with a hunter you can have were he has his leg trapped in a bear trap. If you help save him from it later you meet with him outside the general store in Strawberry where he will offer you to put one item on his tab in the general store as a reward for saving his leg/life. Not sure if there is any correlation there between how the hunter almost lost his leg and merchant losing his. I also like to think that Micha blew it off in his and Arthur's escape from the town when everyone got massacred haha... 😅

Amazing stuff. No idea that veg market was there. The wooden leg too, omg! And the oil rig in Wapiti? You always deliver!

[@huntriss]

Anyone else notice at 7:25 the throwaway comment about a book by "Balzac"? A Rockstar running gag about slyly including the world Ballsack into their games. Like the Bawsaq stock exchange in GTA V. 😉

[@aimanfaisal5309]

You the best man. I just started playing rdr2 last month and it just keep me going and going. There's a lot of mysteries out there and I want to know more about it instead of finish the game fast. Thanks man for this vid. 😘

[@galaxyblaze5656]

I find it weird that the mad preacher near valentine/strawberry he says “he’s always watching” At first I thought of it he’s mad but dwelled on it more and and came to the conclusion it must be the strange man. The preacher says are you the signal and it got me thinking Arthur was the signal for John meeting the strange man and doing the task the strange man told him idk I might be overthinking it but it’s cool to think about.

[@ghastlycrow]

So, you may have already covered this, or maybe you haven't, but there's a dead body and a face carved in the cliff in the Grizzlies East right above the Moonstone pond just West of O'Creagb's Run. To expand, there's a dead body that is a man who hung himself. Then, you go up a ladder and there's a face carved into the cliff where John/Arthur sketches it into his journal, (you can inspect it, at the time I was John and was hunting the Legendary Bharati Grizzly Bear) alongside that there is a chest with a Special Health Cure recipe/pamphlet, an apple, jewelry, and rum. There's also a pickaxe and a bucket of water, but obviously you can't interact with those. Hope to see you cover this, I'm curious!

It's never been available in the epilogue for me, only while playing with Arthur could I do it.

[@mikeg93]

You had me at kifflom ❤️

[@InlandDiscoEmpire]

Also recently I've kind of realized that Rockstar games (mainly GTA IV & V/RDR 1 & 2) are sort of half-RPG games. RDR 1& 2 even having a karma system that has the NPCs react to you differently depending on how honorable you are. Same with bounties in a state. You're sort of meant to be fully pretending you're living & surviving as an outlaw/gunslinger in 1899 - 1907.
