cuts@fin2.rpf

The file with the scripts for the cutscenes of "American Venom".

A credits sequence cutscene of Archer Fordham and Edgar Ross interrogating people next to the Strawberry Jail. It was meant to be shown after the cutscene where Micah's corpse is found at Mount Hagen, but instead the game skips to the cutscene with the people in the Valentine saloon being interrogated (cutscene@fin2_ext_p10), which was meant to be preceeded by this one.

cuts@ind1.rpf

The file with the scripts for the cutscenes of "The Gilded Cage".

This mid-mission cutscene where Arthur, Dutch, and Hosea get out of the Saint Denis tailor with their suits for the mayor's party was meant to be shown before a cut part where the trio walked to the stagecoach that moves them, as shown by unused dialogue. The actual game instead skips all that and after the intro cutscene it jumps directly to the gang arriving to the mayor's house party. Its audio and subtitles are still present.

cuts@jbo6.rpf

Completely unused file with the script for the cutscene of a cut jail break sequence where Charles gets Arthur out of the Annesburg jail, in the actual game, Charles never frees Arthur from there. Its audio is present and its subtitles can both be found.

cuts@mar6.rpf

The file with the scripts for the cutscenes of "Bare Knuckle Friendships".

As shown by unused dialogue, this mid-mission cutscene takes place after a cut objective where the player rides from Beecher's Hope to Riggs Station and it shows John and Uncle boarding the train that takes them to Saint Denis. In the actual game, after the intro cutscene this mission skips directly to John and Uncle arriving to Saint Denis by that train. Its subtitles are present in mar6aud.yldb, but unfortunately its audio got deleted.

cuts@ntv0.rpf

Completely unused file with the script for the intro cutscene of a cut Chapter 4 that involved Charles leaving camp and then Arthur meeting him later to help Eagle Flies free natives from being transferred to reform school. This would've been the first mission in the Native strand, "ntv1" being the Chapter 6 mission "Archeology for Beginners". This cutscene's audio got deleted from the files, however, the subtitle file remains.

A brief snippet of this cutscene is seen in the game's second trailer at 0:49, but with a Charles line from another mission playing over it. And curiously, the events of this mission are still canon in the final game, because after the mission got scrapped this cutscene was turned into a Chapter 4 camp conversation where the dialogue is almost the same except Charles declines Arthur's offer for help.

cuts@rabi3.rpf

The file with the scripts for the cutscenes of "A New Future Imagined".

A mid-mission cutscene showing John and Abigail returning to Beecher's Hope after their trip to Blackwater. In the actual game, the game skips this and goes directly to the ending cutscene after John proposes to Abigail. Its audio got deleted, but abi3aud.yldb has the subtitles.

cuts@rjck1.rpf

Completely unsued file with the script for a mid-mission cutscene of a cut Epilogue - Part 2 mission that took place before "Trying Again" (rjck2). It shows John entering Jack's room and handing him a photo album before walking out, which is rather interesting because said object (p_cs_album01x) is otherwise completely unused. The context of the events in this cutscene is unknown and, as the filename shows, this was just one of the mid-mission cutscenes, but only this one was left. Its audio got deleted along with the mission's text files.
