#484 โ€“ Dan Houser: GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar, Absurd & Future of Gaming

So at some level, it probably is trolling in that we didn't want it to be a totally clear mystery.

You wanted it to have a little bit of adventure to it.

#484 โ€“ Dan Houser: GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar, Absurd & Future of Gaming

Um,

#484 โ€“ Dan Houser: GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar, Absurd & Future of Gaming

But it was meant to be, without ever fully being explained, that Gavin's not there anymore.

#484 โ€“ Dan Houser: GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar, Absurd & Future of Gaming

Gavin's either gone home, Gavin's left him, and we were going to keep exploring that idea.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#484 โ€“ Dan Houser: GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar, Absurd & Future of Gaming

He was going to reappear in some way or other.

#484 โ€“ Dan Houser: GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar, Absurd & Future of Gaming

Yes and no.

#484 โ€“ Dan Houser: GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar, Absurd & Future of Gaming

I mean, you never know what people are going to find amusing in these big games.

The guy was just funny when he said Gavin.

It was just funny.

You know, but there was a ped in Red Dead Redemption 1 that everyone was obsessed by.

#484 โ€“ Dan Houser: GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar, Absurd & Future of Gaming

And I really wasn't expecting that.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#484 โ€“ Dan Houser: GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar, Absurd & Future of Gaming

So we try and put a few characters in.

#484 โ€“ Dan Houser: GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar, Absurd & Future of Gaming

I mean, Gavin was supposed to be amusing.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#484 โ€“ Dan Houser: GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar, Absurd & Future of Gaming

I thought he was amusing.

#484 โ€“ Dan Houser: GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar, Absurd & Future of Gaming

But you never know what people are going to get obsessed by.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#484 โ€“ Dan Houser: GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar, Absurd & Future of Gaming

There are other characters I think are funny and the people don't even notice them.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#484 โ€“ Dan Houser: GTA, Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar, Absurd & Future of Gaming
