Red Dead Redemption 2 Secret Scene Reveals Rockstar’s Obsessive Detail
Six years after launch, Red Dead Redemption 2 continues to astonish players with unearthed secrets. The latest discovery? A hidden voice line from Dutch during the fishing mission “The New South” – triggered only if Arthur falls off his horse en route – that epitomizes Rockstar’s unparalleled world-building.
The “New South” Easter Egg
As shared on Reddit’s r/reddeadredemption, players who tumble from their horse while traveling to the mission’s fishing spot hear Dutch quip:
“Are you planning on falling in the lake too?”
This bespoke dialogue isn’t recycled audio – it’s a contextual gem 99% of players miss, designed exclusively for this rare scenario.

The discovery sparked a wave of awe:
- “This game’s details are INSANE.”
- “1,000+ hours and still finding new things.”
- “Rockstar put more thought into one line than some devs put in entire games.”
It exemplifies RDR2’s “living world” philosophy:

Contextual Humor: Dutch’s sarcasm fits his personality perfectly
No Wasted Effort: Details hidden where most won’t see them
