In an interview with Kinda Funny Games, Lazlow reminisced that if the team "needed specific accents or languages, we'd travel to those places." For Red Dead Redemption 2, that meant jetting off to Santa Fe, New Mexico to record with Native American communities, or traveling to New Orleans to work with Creole individuals because "those accents you just can't get right with New York, LA actors."
Yeah I love this. I wish more media depicting marginalized communities would actively take writing direction from the actual communities they are attempting to depict.
The new game is going to have dogshit writing. Dan Houser has been the head writer on every single game, he is the reason they've been focused on class or included content about america's anti-marxism in latam or yugoslavia etc.
Without him I'm convinced the games will not really understand what the foundational cornerstone of them really is. The new writing will do "haha be a criminal, it's great" without the "why are people criminals though?" question being included which is the class and material conditions element.
