It's difficult to spend much time in Annesburg. The town is a polluted hellhole at the end of the map, near Murfree country, no saloon or fun activities and the story is in it's darkest hours.
Even in rdo it’s the one town I visit the least.It’s all the way up on the map in its little corner not much to do there. Town build on just labour it really is a hell hole of a town.
@@Strada62 Van Horn still has a saloon and a motel. And the vibe there isn't as sad as Annesburg. Also, whenever I feel like going on a killing spree, I prefer going to Van Horn.
I would seriously love to see some kind of uncut director's cut of RDR2 where all the deleted content was still in the game considering how much detail is still being discovered right now.
Maybe the reason there is a bug, or the employee that working to code some content passed away Or perhaps its about size... Y know currently game that more than 100gb will mostly got a full of critics from gamers, now think about rdr2 that already 100gb+ without cut content
It doesn't even cease to amazing me that even on April 8th 2024 there's still secrets and little details being found in Red Dead Redemption 2. Thanks for another great video, Strange Man.
The Princess IKZ "secret" always drove me nuts, I figured when RDR2 was released to PC we'd all finally know where to find her but then it turned out she'd been removed and I spent all that time searching for nothing.
Well, it's not really known if it was removed or not, the files are there but it's not clear if it's deleted content or if a very specific trigger is needed to activate the mission.
Actually I just wrote an e-mail to the Rockstar Customer Support to ask them again for IKZ and they just told me that she was deleted at the time RDR2 was released. First they made a joke about her that maybe she has gone with Gavin, but then they told me that she was cut off. -,- At least they are still spending time on GTA Online instead of workin on a beautiful DLC for the best game they ever made. 😓😓 I love GTA, no question ....but Take Two ....that´s another thing.
@@gyroztv Interesting, especially considering that Rockstar's own support swore that the princess could be found and even that there were players who had already found her. I find it very contradictory that they are now saying this, and mind you, I'm not questioning what you're saying because I've seen several users comment the same thing.
00:57 I'd wager he can travel faster with his stall in tow than you or anyone can with nothing but a horse and a saddle. It's not about speed - it's about knowing the land.
I was expecting a mention of the ships that sink. When I first saw that happen it made my stomach flip over. The little shack that gets built near emerald ranch is my favourite one. It's the one I'd buy if that functionality had been in the game.
Annesburg and most of Roanoke Ridge are just really unpleasant to be around, very depressing compared to somewhere like the Heartlands or Big Valley. I've also seen somewhere mention that the Germans you rescue in the beginning of Chapter 3 who give Arthur a gold bar, have ties to the Annesburg mines.
I feel like the house broker was cut content. Maybe John was going to look around for somewhere to settle down, and there was going to be a few options. Of course it was always going to end with the ranch, but would have been interesting to have more than one place.
I don't think so, considering beechers hope is the canonical home of the Marstons. But maybe it was supposed to be a mechanic in online. With the player being able to buy properties from the broker and houses from the pre cut catalogue
That whole area around Annesburg is the most creepy in the game. It seems nice but man there are some weird shit going on. Love this game so much because of this.
@@ethelthecat1 I noticed that the trees are different (in the photo vs the video). I think he used a mod and staged the photo to prove the resemblance. Still impressive that he recognized the trapper in that tiny picture, though!
Sucks the falconer was part of cut content smfh, rockstar needs to do a content update and add him to the game, we need to start a petition to have rockstar add the princess mission asap
I remember stumbling on a couple arguing near some of the company housing (I think the husband might have been the one bullying the Downs boy) and the two of them were fighting over how dangerous it was working in the mine, but the husband counters that there really wasnt any other option for him. Sort of a damned if you do, damned if you dont kind of situation. Sadly all too typical for those living in company towns of the time.
Hi Mr. Strange Man! I just wanted to say that I have always liked your videos with voice narrations. English is not my first language so I can’t read the subtitles as fast. With a voice narration on the side really helped me watching your vids. Please add the voice back if you could. Thank you!
i prefer no voice narration because voice narration suck and sounds annoying,especially when using AI as voice narration,its really suck no voice narration is better
During my last playthrough of RDR2, I tried to explore in full all of the towns (unsurprisingly, I spent the longest amount of time in Saint Denis). But it was only in my last playthrough that I discovered the Bennett wanted poster. But when I collected it, I thought the game had glitched because of it not unlocking a bounty hunter quest, which I thought that it would. Only later down the line did I realise it is part of the Bennett Brother’s treasure story.
Hey! Do you think at some point in the development we could actually buy those propriety/houses from Fischer, and then the concept was scrapped line other things in the game? Imagine how cool it could have been to actually be able to own our land (like in the Epilogue) or at least in Online.
I don’t know if this counts but if you go to a certain part of the map in Roanoke ridge then you will hear whispering related to the horror story you can watch in a theatre in Valentine, the person who was whispering lived in annesburg
its official you are the Matpat of Red Dead and Grand Theft Auto I always look forward to your videos and can't wait to see what you have instore for GTA 6 when it releases.
I saw an interesting theory on yt that strange man might actually be jimmy brooks (the guy who recognised Arthur in chapter 1, and we can choose to either let him live or kill him). Maybe you can check it out?
On the way to Rhodes from Valentine or vice versa, you will see a plume of smoke indicating where the Lemoyne Raiders are camped. Go close to the camp until the red arc for 'enemy' appears on your screen. When the leader says 'Turn on your heels son' drop a marker and ride away until the enemy red arc light goes from the screen. Now ride back and the gang will totally ignore you and your horse. Steal the supplies then do what you want with the gang. If you kill one nobody takes any notice, so either ride off or kill the other four. Sometimes another two will ride up on horses and you can easily kill them for a bit more loot.
What truly amazes me is how massive and content-heavy this game is. New things can be found even after all those years... Great video, as always. :) IMHO it's better without AI voice and other similar things, this way it's just your discoveries to unfold before our eyes with music. Feels way more immersive.
Just make a point about Dr MacIntosh. My Grandmother on my fathers side is a MacIntosh and my father passed his kilt onto me which is MacIntosh tartan, exactly the same tartan as Dr MacIntosh wears under his white coat a MacIntosh tartan waste coat and it’s exactly correct in design. Rockstars level of accuracy is astounding. 🏴
I like that Annesburg history goes back to the Dutch also thats my theory. Peeters and Janssens are pretty Dutch surnames, and the accent they talked with sounds like how Dutch talk English.
The stolen-valor veteran in valentine, Boldger glade ghost sounds, Joe butler in rhodes, the post guard with amnesia (captain Russell), the civil war report note at fort brennand, weapons and other collectible civil war items, and how the war affected different characters/plots in ways we may not have realized or put together.
So how did the falconer dialogue end up in GTA Online after we supposedly knew he doesn't exist? Perhaps the dialogue was just carelessly dumped there. Who knows?
Haven't watched yet, but just in case. I have found a mutilated horse behind the stable here, dog eating it ,massive claw marks massive. Get into town, disembowelled doggo in front of post office on main town road, same deal. Birds and doggo eating it, massive claw marks. All the while and before, that deep af growl that can supposedly only be heard at the glacier was going. I ran to the man bear pig house just as day was breaking, before that as i was running across the road to house the score went silent then was as if all piano keys were hit at once. Recorded and am going to post raw once i get back home. Have you seen this? Also that roar i heard near elysian lake (empty house lot w chimney) and along the kamacha i think river north from elysian.
In armadillo general store theres a photo of the guy who john tried to kill in rdr1 but his gun kept misfirring he also said to him do you want me to a bullet in your head
The missing princess has always nagged at me. Knowing you can find her trunk but never the girl herself just gives me chills. Who kidnaps a princess, or a girl of any age or class, just to not ransom her back? Why keep her? Why keep her alive, if she survived being taken and spirited away into the New World? Why bring her to a completely different continent at all? The fact so much about this more or less unplayable mission has been removed/never added to the game should really compel not just Strangeman but us too. No one should go missing like that, leaving the family with no answers. Whether they're from a video game or not. Someone got away with kidnapping a LITTLE GIRL, if you put aside her title as princess. At both late and post-game points, she's been missing FOR YEARS. The game might be set in an era long before the telephone or even the internet but Princess IKZ really should've been found at least six weeks to six months after she was taken. Rockstar definitely isn't going to give us any answers (if they have any) but it never hurts to keep asking questions.
I respect how dutch put down cornwall, men like him are whats wrong with the world nowadays. Corrupt businessmen who view the world as a bank and people as a commodity instead of human beings.
This is just in time! I'm a late bloomer to RDR2, I've just stumbled across this town (Chapter 3). Wonder if there are any "Wooden Indians" in the corner stores.... hmmmmm
06:02 Is the guy on the right side the Owner of the Gun Shop in Rhodes? He looks like a younger version of Jasper, if that´s his real name. And one Bennett Brother is still missin, right? IDK

@@Mr_Fancypantsbig rock block out bright bigger rock
eh the eclipse is clouded over here anyway, got to see it for maybe a few seconds
It's interesting. It's a run-down, ill, dirty, dying town. Totally in contrast to when Arthur is in his final weeks and in the very same condition.
"in contrast" means "opposite".
Goddamn there is a writing in annesburg mine and a bounty poster I never knew I have played this game more than 3000 hours
The story telling and detail in this game has always impressed me.
This man making me wanna play RDR2 for the 13th time. Bro I got a life, sthap!

They’re also the ones who rescue Arthur when he passes out for the second time (in Annesburg).
i really hate that rockstar puts easter eggs in GTA for red dead. but then doesn;t officially link the two worlds as the same.
I love how deep this game is. You can walk around for hours looking for things and always find something you have not seen before
Indeed
Just came back to your channel the quality has improved. Keep up the good work
I feel like the house broker was cut content. Maybe John was going to look around for somewhere to settle down, and there was going to be a few options.
Of course it was always going to end with the ranch, but would have been interesting to have more than one place.
I always thought it was just to show the progression of the world; wilderness being destroyed to make room for more houses and more people.
I honestly never noticed the for sale signs in the game

The guards irritate me. And Annesburg spawns lawmen like crazy. It's cold and rainy with the gunsmith being the best thing about the town.

Dr. Machintos's book actually The Unabomber Manifesto: Industrial Society and its Future in nutshell.

Hello mr strange man
Can you also make a video about the Lemoyne raiders Story and some things about them
Cause I want to Hear more about them
On the way to Rhodes from Valentine or vice versa, you will see a plume of smoke indicating where the Lemoyne Raiders are camped.
Go close to the camp until the red arc for 'enemy' appears on your screen.
When the leader says 'Turn on your heels son' drop a marker and ride away until the enemy red arc light goes from the screen.
Now ride back and the gang will totally ignore you and your horse.
Steal the supplies then do what you want with the gang. If you kill one nobody takes any notice, so either ride off or kill the other four. Sometimes another two will ride up on horses and you can easily kill them for a bit more loot.
another awesome vid with new info mate !!!
That fish just spoke to John 😂
Annesburg is the town I probably visit the least in the game. I think I’ve gone to Wapiti more than Annesburg
Great video ! Please make vids about all gangs in RDR2 !
Kind of surprised you didn’t mention the Atlantean connection to Mr. Malcom. There are many correlations to this whole story.
Please do a video on Jeremiah Compson and the Iniquities of History if you haven’t already, great video as always
I wanna know what the story is, and your relationship with the Tumbleweed general store operator. He has your photo behind him at the counter.
