Red Dead Redemption 2 is a retcon-filled prequel to the previous-gen console-exclusive Red Dead Redemption, covering the Van der Linde gang's desperate attempt for survival.

It's a good prequel if you can look past some serious gameplay flaws. the lore inconsistencies with the previous game, and the fact that the story mode keeps getting buggier with every update due to Rockstar's huge neglect of it.

Hmmm...
To do:
Many things:
  • Unused Nuevo Paraiso leftover models from the first Red Dead Redemption, found only in the console versions' files.
  • Unused textures for Arthur's New Austin journal drawings. John also has cut drawings for all the Guarma animals and a Tennessee Walker, Shire, Rabbit, and Deer.
  • Grand Theft Auto V leftovers, and probably some unused props as the map priority code is still set to "medium".
  • GTA 6/Americas leftovers?
  • Unused text, including:
    • Arthur's journal entries for New Austin.
    • Scrapped interactions in Guarma.
    • Cut text involving finding Princess Isabeau and putting her in an Annesburg cell.
    • Bobcat-related text.
    • Horse paper forgers/fences in most cities.
    • Dishes.
    • A ferry that could sail to Guarma.
    • Frank Heck Dialogue and other text.
  • Way too many scrapped trinkets.
  • Unused Guarma relics.
  • Check the horses compendium photos and the fish compendium icon for cut ones. Also the green sea turtle may have an unused compendium photo (it can be studied, but it does not appear in the compendium.) Add the cut fish textures. Add pictures for all applicable cut animals.
  • Add pictures for all cut character outfits, models, etc.
  • Add videos and photos for the cut missions when applicable.
  • Add icons and pictures for all cut items.
  • Add pictures for Crow's Garlic and Salt Bush.
  • Add photos for the cut train cars and stagecoach.
  • Lots of cut audio for gang members, Dr. Higgins, Bessie Adair, Eliza, Arthur in New Austin, Rhesus Monkeys, the River Monster, baby bears, the Giant, and much, much, more.

Images for cut item requests. They have placeholder textures and were not updated to show in-game screenshots like the other requests. Two of these are for item requests that would've been given by Strauss and Trelawny, who don't have item requests in the final game. The reading glasses that Strauss would've requested are not in the final game. The image for the Susan request seen here is a different one from the one used in the actual game for her seasoning herbs request (named mission_irsuse), so whether this was a placeholder of that texture and was for some reason made a separate one or this was for a cut second request where she also asked for seasoning plants is unknown.

Unused Audio

GUA1.awc

Filename Audio Transcript
GUA1_BLAA_01
Arthur: Hey...
GUA1_BMAA_01
Arthur: Heeeey!
GUA1_BNAA_01
Arthur: Heeeeeeeeeey!
GUA1_BOAA_01
Arthur: Heeeeeeeey! Heeeeeeey!... Heeeeeeeey!
GUA1_BPAA_01
Arthur: I'm lost! I'm lost!... Ehhh, I'm lost!

An entirely unused audio container meant for "Lost and Not Quite Found", the Chapter 5 mission that is only a cutscene in the final game. It seems these quotes would've been for a cut gameplay sequence with Arthur in the water soon after the ship sinks.

WNT3.awc

Filename Audio Transcript
WNT3_GGAA_01
Arthur: *grunt*

An entirely unused audio container for a cut Chapter 1 mission that took place between "Enter, Pursued by a Memory" (WNT2) and "Who the Hell is Leviticus Cornwall?" (WNT4), the only remaining quote in it is this one of Arthur making a grunting noise and which its context is unknown.

Cutscenes

An unused "The Gilded Cage" mid-mission cutscene that was going to happen after a cut objective where Arthur went with Dutch to the Saint Denis tailor to get their suits for the mayor's house party. The subtitle file for it is also present, and the cutscene can be triggered in-game via mods.

Due to the ability to access New Austin as Arthur being for some reason restricted late in development, the second part of the side quests "A Test of Faith" and "A Fisher of Fish", both of which have unlocking conditions involving New Austin, can only be done by John in the Epilogue, leaving the Arthur versions of the cutscenes' audio unused.

Using mods on PC or certain glitches on the unpatched console versions, the player can collect all the dinosaur bones in New Austin as Arthur without getting one-hit killed by the invisible snipers. Mailing the bones will unlock the ability to visit Deborah and gain the Jawbone Knife with Arthur too.

The Arthur version of the opening cutscene audio for "A Fisher of Fish - II". Unlike "A Test of Faith - II", this mission cannot be unlocked with Arthur at all; even mailing all of the Legendary Fish as Arthur won't do anything.

While there is audio for the opening and ending cutscenes, there is no Arthur variation in the files for the mid-mission cutscene (internally named RCFSH_RSC3_MASTERED_ONLY.awc) that plays when arriving with Jeremy Gill to the fishing location.

The cut Chapter 4 that involved Charles leaving camp and then Arthur meeting him later to help free Eagle Flies' men, the only remaining quotes in it are two that would've led to the intro cutscene.

There exists a cutscene of Archer Fordham and Edgar Ross interrogating Sheriff Hanley, intended for the end credits sequence.

In this cutscene, John hands Jack a book at Beecher's Hope before walking out.

This cutscene would've occurred when Charles broke Arthur out from being imprisoned in Annesburg.
