8 Amazing Details You Didn't Know About #17 (Red Dead Redemption 2)

[@kraftylefty6559]

A tiny detail I noticed after playing this game a few times: Most of us know Arthur will occasionally sing quietly (no dialogue displayed, but you'll hear it) while riding horseback when free roaming. However, after visiting the doctor in chapter 6 he'll no longer sing.

[@jackierioseco4127]

That is really, really sad 😢

[@themadtitan7603]

@Sur Mcguffin Interesting, so it is an actual detail. Makes Chapter 6 feel even more like a downer.

[@mannymolina1554]

What happened in chapter 6?

[@corneloni_with_chese]

Spoiler Arthur gets TB diagnosed and knows that he has pnly a few weeks left to live

[@aakashbharati502]

I've never witnessed this 😪

[@darkwolf9260]

Amazing as always, I recently found out one, to me, interesting thing, Elks actually eat leaves on those small trees. Try to observe your surroundings sometimes it really becomes interesting watching animals especially predators do their things when they don't notice you.

[@firefangredmoon5961]

The game rlly is a lowkey in home wildlife watchers dream

[@kurtomac2386]

The cats will kill mice and birds and carry them round in their mouths.

[@potawatadingdong]

"Elks" lol

[@LilGamingYes]

@@potawatadingdong It's actually not wrong. Both Elk and Elks are the plural but Elk is the most commonly used one. That's one thing that is weird about English; not putting a s to make it clear there's many, not just a single one. As a native French speaker I would have put a s there too, as a Spanish speaker I would too but Spanish puts a s everywhere to the point it's not even funny anymore. Your comment actually made me google it and check 3 different dictionaries. Elks is correct when talking about the species or a large group, Elk is correct when talking about a single one or a small group, is my understanding of it.

[@elizamorgan86]

If you are lucky, you can see a Woodpecker making holes in the tree. You can hear the noise but it is rare to see it because it flies away quickly.

I didn't know about the dialogue between Arthur and Sadie after Arthur takes that horse from her stable. For the rest, I just need to say that you have made another great video

[@themadtitan7603]

I knew about all them this time around.

[@TheMeanmarine13]

The fact that we're still noticing things a couple years is Testament to the amount of thought and attention to detail these developers put into it. World class 👏 👌

[@elphabafang]

I always appreciate the fact that Sadie wears a dress to the wedding, she's like "yeah, I can dress pretty again. Just this once."

[@Deadpool55223]

Also, I just noticed she's holding her stomach the entire time. Is this maybe alluding to the fact that she's pregnant? Edit: oh wait, wasn't she shot/stabbed during American Venom? Maybe she's still injured

[@elphabafang]

@@Deadpool55223 yeah she's still injured.

[@amisicro955]

We never stop discovering details about this game even tho it came out 4 years ago

[@claydavis4742]

Feel like we kinda have

[@Redsky973]

We discovered everything after like 2 years

[@themadtitan7603]

Yes, but I think we pretty covered all the details by this point. These details and secrets series would always surprise me but this is the first where I knew every detail, minus Dutch's Move but that's because it was more of an interpretation on Strange Man's part.

[@TDog111]

We will find all pretty soon

[@charlesburns7391]

One of the things I hate about this is the movement. If I'm looting a house, I walk by something that says take, I hold Y but Arthur keeps moving from the momentum, and it takes forever to reposition himself to the position I need to be in. I also hate how witnesses can find you no matter where you are and report you

[@nao_criativo]

Very nice vid. I was replaying the game and found a interaction on chapter two where Hosea is taughting Jack to read. He then says to Abigail that reading is boring, and that he wants to be a gunslinger. Abigail then states that this will happen "Just over my dead body", which is, in 1914, the reason why Jack becomes a gunslinger seeking revenge against Ross.

[@Thomas_Angelo]

Dan Houser was such a great writer. I don't think Gta VI will have better writing than any of Dan's works.

[@thephoenix4093]

Especially with the current Rockstar state.

[@reddeadredemption2_area]

great video as always 😄

[@Agentized]

2:03 I've never heard that line before because I've never interacted with Sadie in Colter and I've played this game half a dozen times at the very least. I always just assumed it was Jake and Sadie's horse because of that. That makes the most sense to me-- they'd need a horse living up in the mountains like that, if we're talking realistically. Unless the O'Driscolls took their horse and for some reason swapped it out with one of the O'Driscoll horses. Also, it's particularly interesting, simply because this horse is in their barn in RDO up to this current date, and Online itself precedes the events of the game. And the fact that it wasn't originally in RDO to begin with, but added in during one of the updates, with tack removed no less, so it likely wasn't a mistake but an intentional detail. Aside from the Online team maybe not knowing it was supposed to be an O'Driscoll's horse. It's just Rockstar more than likely accidentally contradicting their own work, even if in a very small and minute way, and I find that amusing. lol.

[@themadtitan7603]

I guess it's an intentional detail because Rockstar thought "Oh wait, why didn't we add Sadie's horse from the beginning of the game here" forgetting the line where Sadie says it's not even hers.

[@pastelmusic409]

Well they didn't really swap it out, did they? A bunch of odriscolls came there, chances are one of em took Jack and Sadie's horse away to their camp at the abandoned mining town.

[@steveswafen2528]

These RDR2 vids never fail to inspire me to go play so thanks Strange Man for caring enough to make these for us.

[@StuartLugsden]

Fun fact: Arthur’s horse boadicea can be found in the game files. Its a Hungarian Half Breed with a red coat and has the best stats. They never should never have replaced her with the Odriscoll horse.

[@leocastrillo759]

better than the Arabian?

[@themadtitan7603]

Yep, I read about that and agreed. I wish we did start the game with a default horse that Arthur already knew then once we get to Chapter 2 we can have our own personal horse.

[@themadtitan7603]

Which oddly in Red Dead Online, is shown to be Sadie and Jackie's horse.

[@StuartLugsden]

@@leocastrillo759 yes

[@StuartLugsden]

@@themadtitan7603 Nah. Should have been Jakes horse.

[@sansfil]

3:35 I love this detail! It's like John is trying to say "Hell naw we ain't in Assassins Creed"

[@storminmay]

John says no to jumping a wall but will dive headfirst into deep water knowing damn well he can’t swim 😅

[@PEBBLING]

What a beautiful, masterpiece of a game❤

[@mayyr835]

The fact that you are still finding stuff is even more impressive. You are so awesome!

[@sulfanilimidex]

In RDO your character will make certain facial expressions if one of your cores are low. For example, if you have low dead-eye, your character will blink alot as if something was in their eye. Low stamina, their expression will look tired.

[@sulfanilimidex]

But if you have all of your cores up they will look happy.

[@alaricpumani5372]

*Updated5* It ain't much but here is details I saw too : -*YOU CAN LITERALLY WITHDRAW YOUR GUN LIKE A WESTERN MOVIE WITHOUT ACTIVATING THE DEAD EYE BEFORE* by simply pressing slowly R2 (fire). Arthur will slowly reach his gun then you enter in dead eye. But only works with guns.. - Charles chatenay card at Mary's *valentine* house. -You can choke people from behind when they are sit on a chair. -You can hide in bushes and not being seen by enemies or police when they track you down.. Unless they are really close to you. -Hunting during the rain hide your smell. -Dog's owner knows you can do bad things if you have your bandana or not. - Racoon homes are the Dead small trees 👍 - Horses veins appear when horses flexing their muscles. - Susie know if you wanted or kill bunch of people as she thinks it was Bill but tell you that's probably you. - Susie will tell you that Arthur is supposed to be a man of action and not staying to much in the camp usally. Mysteries : -At *Van Horn* in a boat we can find a Collectible card named : *Schooner* with 2 tentacules, it's a reference of H.p Lovecraft when the hero use a Schooner named Emma (that type of boat) -The voodoo ritual will probably needs snake and fire like the painting (and snake card suggest) -*Butcher creek* have a card name "butcher bros" So I think that town killed people as we can see clothes and blood hidden. ( probably the people from *Braithwaite*) The town has been cursed for that reason. -There is a small area before a dead tree near a toilet cabin who trigger Silence from animals. -A flower can be picked near the tombstone. (the virgin flower...) That it for me 😅👍 all of that probably already been known but who know

[@themadtitan7603]

How did you know about Charles Chatenay card in Mary's Valentine house, did you glitch through and find it there?

[@alaricpumani5372]

@@themadtitan7603 No sir. I did a basic enjoying playthrough first and now I want to do a no honor playthrough. I travel and exploring a lot during this one. But I "think" my first playthrough I still took the collectible card without paying too much attention. But now I remember this guy and was really surprised that was Chatenay collectible card at the front door of Mary's house with cigarettes and flowers........

[@LilGamingYes]

The hiding in bushes one I found by mistake recently... I started a new playthrough and after killing 2 O'Driscolls near Valentine I had the police called on me. After a failed hide and seek game I got on my horse only to have it killed instantly, I ran away and somehow they didn't see me get in a bush. They flew by so close I thought they would spot me but to my surprise the concealment did work!

Funny thing about Arthur’s horse. If it isn’t Sadie or Jake’s horse, then why can you find it in their barn online? Online apparently takes place a year before the events of the game. It may be possible that it was Jake’s horse, but she doesn’t want a reminder of him.

One detail most people don't know about is with the Braithwaite stallions in Horseflesh For Dinner. They're the same breeds of horses as the foundation sires of the Thoroughbred breed: the Byerly Turkoman, the Darley Arabian, and the Godolphin Arabian. So the characters aren't entirely wrong when they repeatedly refer to the Braithwaite stallions as Thoroughbreds.

[@lunarzion]

Strange man! A detail I found was that a cast’s line breaks when you swim in front of a strangers line and they have to recast. (You might have already said this in a video, but I thought it was cool) 😅

[@themadtitan7603]

I thought that nothing would happen because I tend to do it and they'd still keep reeling. Nice to know that it actually breaks, I guess I have to get closer to the fishing line.
