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

I really can't remember, to be honest with you.

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

But yeah, I certainly would have edited it and Mike might have written it or I might have written it.

I really can't remember.

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

Oh, but we certainly talked about it in depth.

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

And if Mike was here, I'd ask him.

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

He might remember.

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

We do so much of those things.

And I loved the use of letters in Red Dead to tell all these weird backstories.

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

And some became very clear and some were still a little kind of opaque.

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

But the general vibe was there was no Gavin.

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

Either there was no Gavin or he'd long since left.

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

So it's kind of a split personality.

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

And then we were going to over subsequent games provide more information.

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

No, Gavin existed.

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

So it wasn't that he was a split personality.

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

And the only thing we hadn't really decided was in a future game, were we going to reveal that Gavin was dead?

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

Or was Gavin going to turn up having long since abandoned this maniac?

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

You know, that was what we're still playing around with.

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

I think the idea was that he was never going to meet Gavin in this game.

And it has to feel fresh.
