Red Dead Redemption 2 has all sorts of little details that the vast majority of players will never see, and that's part of what makes Rockstar games so special, says former Rockstar designer Ben Hinchliffe.
Hinchliffe worked at the studio from 2009 all the way to 2022, at which time he was a game designer on GTA 6. He recently appeared on the GTAVIoclock podcast (timestamped here), and at one point got on the topic of Red Dead Redemption 2, describing a mission where you're tasked with ransacking a moonshine wagon. While most folks are happy to simply do what cowboys do and shoot the thing up Wild West-style, Rockstar went the extra mile to ensure that the wagon's lore continues for pacifist Arthur Morgan.
