The logic he applied for the cutting of fat NPC is like... bad? with that logic black people shouldn't be in the game since (and I'm pretty sure there are videos of it) one could go killing only black people, Fat NPC would have fitted perfectly in Saint Denis, where the wealthy live, rarely walking and always on carriage. Although I can't really think of a better explanation, GTA 4 had a lot of fat NPC and no one really complained or is complaining about it, and you know how many people like to go back to older stuff and find modern problems in it

If you have the RDR2 strategy guide; you can see several photos of Arthur in New Austin as well as Arthur wearing the Legend of the East outfit. This is likely because Piggyback was working in tandem with R* to write the guide and was given an advanced copy of the game where Arthur did have access to New Austin; or at least everywhere but Blackwater.

[@kingman-fm4dq]

That's unfair, why could he go to NA but not us?

[@BriteRory]

Something else that confused me from the guide is that it mentions jailbreaking as a means to lower honor and raise bounty, because it is included in a list of behaviors and activities that you have direct control over, whereas in the game all of the jailbreaking sequences are cutscenes that may or may not happen regardless whether or not you want them to, and only some of them involve actually breaking out and contribute to your wanted level. Maybe there was supposed to be a means by which you could snatch the guards and grab the keys, or use a stealth weapon that was later cut, similar to how you can surrender to arrest or submit to highway robbery only to turn it around at the critical moment?

[@Hoodied]

Literally on the back of the physical case for console editions, you can see Arthur riding in Saint Denis

[@mimsycookiiess]

35:58 correct me if I’m wrong but Molly actually was lying when she said she talked to Milton bc at the end of the game, Milton reveals that they caught Molly and tried to get info from her but she didn’t budge (this is when it’s revealed that Micah was the real snitch) (this next part is a little unrelated but I find it interesting 💀)so people theorize that Molly was lying to get Dutch’s attention but wasn’t in the right mind to realize that it’d probably would have her killed, or she didn’t care if she lived or died!

[@jacobweems3316]

Even all these years later I’m still confused by that. Milton said “had to let her go “ so she could provide information. He was just screwing with us and his job was to bring down the gang. The real rat was Abigail anyway imo

You can tell there was a lot of stuff removed from the game or just never fully developed bc they wanted to get it out on time. Like with all those things that Arthur sketches in his notebook... the strange trees, the hobbit house, the burned out town. Even the witch's hut. There must have been some story connected to those places. My theory is that there was supposed to have been some more side missions, but they spent so much time developing the world, when it came time to develop the missions etc. it was already too late. It wouldve been great if Rockstar had released some of this cut content as DLC but instead they gave up on this game altogether.

[@BobBillies]

In the game where you can literally mame people and animals with dynamite, molotovs, explosive arrows, shotguns, knives, run them over with horses and crush them under wagon wheels, but obese people is where Rockstar draws the line? No. The possible reason why obese npcs were cut, was probably due to animation and collision. All regular npcs share the same rig and animations, but with obese npcs they probably had to make a separate rig and animations for them, which meant they had to make sure objects don't clip into them, new horse/wagon riding animation, shooting, taking cover and fist fighting animation, not to mention all of the work the devs had to do with how obese npcs would interact with world around them and whatnot. So the most likely reason Rockstar cut obese npcs was probably due to time or development issues. not offending people.

I think the exclusion for obese people was because of the technical clipping issue with animation due to having a larger model.

Geldings are popular specifically because they're known for being calmer for the most part. They could've maybe made them generally less sensitive to being spooked or quieter in the snow.

Bully 2. This game was i think cancelled somewhere in 2017. It was in production and development but rockstar just abandoned it and stopped production so that they could make RDR2 into the best. 5.

Can you quit saying “it’s not actually needed in the game” you talk about how the Greys are forgettable, so then they should add less of them? Wouldn’t adding more content or background make something LESS forgettable???

[@FatherPars51]

But great video 👍🏽

[@LovelessDogg1]

Mexico (and everything south of Strawberry) was added super late in development. Some of the earliest Maps that were leaked and found within the game files all show that everything tied to RDR1 wasn't part of the overall explorable map until very late in development. Which is why there is some evidence of Arthur being able to go to places like New Austin but it was scrapped due to typical time restraints. There's a channel called BasementGamerBros that show off all the different versions of the map and what time during development those maps existed. They have a number of really good analysis' of various cut stuff from the game. Also, I'm almost certain that Eliza was two different characters at some point but people keep conflating them together because they have the same name. Let me explain, the Eliza with missions was the niece of the Guarma Ship Captain, the one that takes you Dutch and co back home. You didn't meet her until that portion of the game and it's the reason why John doesn't meet her until the epilogue because he was locked up when she was around the gang and if she was there from the beginning then there is certain no reason for John to never have known about her until the epilogue(this also coincides with being able to revisit Guarma as well). Then, she was scrapped and rewritten into the Sadie character(they both share the same characteristic of getting herself into danger so it makes sense to keep that trait) Then, They took the name Eliza and made her Issac's mom, then once again decided to cut her down to a passing mention by Arthur. This just my way of thinking as a ton of people seem confused about who or what she was when they were making the game, but to me, it makes more sense that they just played musical chairs with the character and name so she was never just one person at any point and time.

The early maps that were leaked ended up being one half of the physical map with all old map stuff being on the back of that map. It's not that all the old map stuff didn't exist, it's just that the actual map was broken into two pieces and only the east half leaked

[@Zipcole]

"Oh I actually like that they cut this" "I think its good that they cut this" like geez we get that you don't care about getting more content. I would have happily waited a year for some of these things to be added even if it never would have happened, its just that we come to the video for information and behind the scenes content but you have to deliver everything with an attitude and your negative opinion and its kind of annoying. Don't get me wrong you do make good videos and do good research, but you always seem have the worst takes and give the worst reasoning for some of them

[@Scraps2435]

Love all the content you’ve been putting out. Just makes you wonder how much more content there’d be if they released a year later

[@_-Achilles-_]

Man that background music from Diamond/Pearl really terrified 4th grade me lol

[@Bruh-ss4ky]

Good vid but why did u choose actual clown music for the background sound?? 😭

[@thefreelancequeen]

It’s from pokemon lol It’s a fine song but obnoxious for an hour

​@@thefreelancequeen im pretty sure its the haunted mansion music in platinum, dope music but who tf spends more than 30 minutes in that place 😭

Crazy how the best game ever could've had even more stuff.

17:37 I think the twins turned into those two feuding brothers you find in valentine

[@Yes-Bean]

It makes sense for there to not be a ferry to guarma in the epilogue. There's no reason why John would want to go there especially since everyone that was there talks about how bad it was

[@RedDeadTierLists]

Well yeah, there was supposed to be a ton of other stuff that was there, especially like treasure hunting type things, so if that was all there it could make sense, but in it's final state Guarma sucked.

[@Yes-Bean]

@@RedDeadTierLists yeah but i guess that's the way it is.

You know its a good day when red dead tier lists uploads

[@CancerGaming56]

0:36 I think the opposite is true, leaked early maps don’t have anything West of Blackwater in various variations, causing backlash, so c.2017 time they rushed to add as much of the RDR1 map in. This caused the toxic infamous developer crunch headlines, so they had to tone it down. Edit: Finished watching the video. Been in the community for years and thought I heard and seen it all and this iceberg video delightfully proved me wrong. Class video.

Cornwall is the big bad? Shows Micah whispering in his ear😂

[@minotaur818]

About shopkeepers going about town, drinking in bars, and playing poker, maybe the pathing/scripting issues can be solved if each shopkeep has 2 separate npcs. One that spawns only in the shops when theyre opened, while it despawns and spawns the casual npc during off hours

[@5T3V3N-ns9gg]

really would have liked to have seen the online only weapons as well as the cut weapons in this video in red dead redemption 2 story mode. I would have loved to have a muzzle loading blunderbus, or a cap and ball navy revolver.

[@mankindbg]

6:50 Dude we literally grinding like a maniacs for those moose spawns and one just casually walks next to you when you putting a video together :D

bro all this guy says about the cut content is that we didn't need it what an NPC

1:58 Arthur dancing after blowing up two innocent people

[@moshymosh]

Wait, how is there no mention of Mac Callander in this? He was a cut character part of the gang. He had something to do with blackwater. Arthur's jacket is actually his jacket. I really hope they save all that Mac Callander stuff for RDR 3.

[@tagus100]

Stuff like Bobcats, horses peeing, and new minigames could've been added in an update.

[@arttus1287]

The Neanderthal is really a strange one since that group of primal people were mostly living in ancient Eurasia, not North America. Would've been really cool to find this guy frozen in ice, or just living his life in the wilderness.

[@NovaVortex193]

It's crazy how even with a long development time and crunch overtime with i'm guessing over a 1000 employees they still cut so much.

[@ZZ-rc1yw]

They should've delayed it. It would've been worth it

[@kirbalicious]

"I thought this would be insanely hard to implement" after everything doesnt soften the blow

[@ThizbeSylvan]

as a trans woman, I really appreciate how you spoke about the speculated trans woman at 44:20. some people are too afraid to offend others due to this cancel culture mythos. I just really appreciate you acknowledging that trans women would have a penis and that there was not access to gender affirming care during that time. I love that they intended that the mayor was a professor and fell in love with another professor who was a closeted trans woman at the school and left with her to start a new life in strawberry. It's unfortunate that Rockstar felt the need to remove this story as I find it very heartfelt i love your content and appreciate you putting so much energy into making it 🩵

[@keithe7321]

It feels like a monopoly to have this video be the longest for cut content. I think my ears are bleeding after watching the whole thing.

[@1rz2rz3rz]

I don't think that explore Mexico area was planned, devs just copied from prequel along with New Austin area, so they just needed to polishing New Austin area for sequel. Mexico area is just leftover of that copy and paste - I think that's the reason why some objects are placed weirdly.

[@nicklibby3784]

Then why is there cut dialogue of Jeremy Gill asking Arthur to go fishing at Frontera Bridge? This is from the dialogue of Arthur in New Austin before they changed it. We even have the cutscene.

[@1rz2rz3rz]

@@nicklibby3784 That's another story, mate. Yea, Rockstar initially planned to explore New Austin as Arthur but eventually idea had scrapped. Still, New Austin can explore as John without exploit or Mods. But Mexico is not intended to exprole in RDR2, that's the difference.

[@bonobo84]

You can't just copy and paste an entire map into a different game. If only game development was that easy.

[@iTzPsyzs]

@@1rz2rz3rz méxico was for RDO, not for RDR2 story mode. México was supposed to be the last place fo the storyline for Mrs Leclerk where we take out Grace Lancing but both méxico and grace lancing were scrapped out.

[@chinnzzillanoochie2613]

Still think about having a mares leg in game to this day, removing the stock from the lancaster and shortening the barrel through the gunsmith. Would have been so cool

[@Lion09887]

Now imagine all of the cut content thats gona happen for gta6

[@gagebyers1057]

I mean the horses balls shrinking is a unique detail but I don’t know if I would call it my favorite mechanic in the game 😂

[@KidarWolf]

See now, that one about geldings being in the game, and the one about papers for horses? As a horse person, that they didn't include it makes me sad. Imagine the fun that could be had with something like a Stranger Mission where, if you're riding a stallion, it scents a mare in heat, throws you, and you need to go track down your horse, where you meet someone with a quest for you? Or, conversely, if you're riding a mare, the stranger has a stallion that runs up on you, and your mare throws you, so then you have to go track them both down. Maybe bonus foal content to be had later in the story - would fit well for a foal to show up right when Kieran joins the gang, given he knows his way around horses. Meanwhile, if you were riding a gelding, you'd miss all that fun, because well, geldings are nice and uncomplicated to deal with, no hormones governing their behavior the way they do for mares and stallions.

[@BoominGame]

Imagine all that would be added as a DLC, you could replay the same game but with many twists, but they just gave up on it.
