8 Amazing Details You Didn't Know About #12 (Red Dead Redemption 2)

[@alexandermaxwell9099]

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.

There's a similar one with the Del Lobos in Thieves Landing if you've already encountered them before -- if you sneak up to the wooden walled-in section on the right of the hideout they'll talk about the crazy American who killed a bunch of them

[@dungeondaddy5323]

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

[@nugsymalone1247]

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]

cap

[@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]

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

[@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!".

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.

[@jacobjackson2438]

Actually just did the colm mission and when Arthur is kidnapped and tried to run away the first time you can hear the o’driscolls around their fire say “Colum” in reference to him

[@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 🤣

[@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.

It was so random and cool, but I though i was crazy because nobody ever mentioned it. Thanks for the validation!

[@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)

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.

[@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.

[@GabbyJFS_02]

Another thing about Colm that I found cool: We first meet him officially in chapter 3 with “Blessed are the Peacemakers.” Colm translates to “dove,” and doves are often associated with peace and harmony.

Just an update (or wasting my time), but I'm still searching for the elusive third meteorite. Seeing as it's really small, I've searched from the areas close to the site, to checking around the buildings. No one has yet to officially confirm if it is actually there or if it's actually cut. Also, during John's playthrough I'm also looking around for the tombstone or the corpse of Karen. Her fate, unlike all other Van Der Linde gang fate, is still unknown and no one acknowledges her existence so far. The file for the surviving Van Der Linde gang in John's time was shown, and the fate for Les Stroud was said he had died from the torture without spilling beans. 'Til, RDR2 is still to this day since release are chock-full of mysteries not yet discovered and super hidden that even the achievements would never cover.

The numbers 0451 on the ground are more than just a reference to their buildings key code. Many things in media (video games, movies, comics, etc) also reference those numbers a lot. It’s actually a reference to the book Fahrenheit 451, or 0 (degree symbol) 451.
