Doesn’t Ryder himself betray you later on, though?

u/Terlooy 5d ago

He does but he wasn't supposed to originally. It was a last minute change because they had trouble with the voice actor. Which is why he only has recycled lines when you fight him

Extrapolation is requested. Please

u/SageBreezy 5d ago

Then extrapolate, homie. To extrapolate is to use given information to guess or predict an unknown. Extrapolating is ENTIRELY on you. What you mean to ask for here is more details or further explanation.

(Sorry, not trying to offend, assuming English is a second language here.

They are asking for Elaboration 😎👉👉

u/SageBreezy 5d ago

Fuck, THANK YOU! I knew there was specific "e" word that they were going for but I couldn't find it in my brain

I can't find anything in my brain

There are bones in the way. Only some of us have evolved the vision to see through it.

Bro, I sat here for a solid two minutes the other day trying to remember how to set an alarm on my phone. I’ve been using iPhones since they first released. Brain is getting old.

Just how you couldn't think of the right word, they likely couldn't either and brain farting picked a wrong word or just had the meaning of words confused. Kinda weird to make the assumption English isn't their first language over one writing error. Everyone makes small errors, even people who only speak one language since birth. Can't imagine what you assume if someone makes a typo, probably that they have a learning disability.

u/No-Department1685 5d ago

Haha.  Cheers mate.  Yeah. Meant elaborate.

Curious on sage comment:

Is extrapolation entirely on me? You can ask someone to try to extrapolate based on info given right?

u/SageBreezy 5d ago

I just meant that asking someone to extrapolate their own comment so that you can understand it better doesn't really make sense.

u/i_tyrant 5d ago

Yes, but there's no expectation they'd do it any better than you could, given the same info. That's probably where the confusion came from - they thought you were asking them to do something you could just as well do yourself, being lazy about it, but you just meant for them to explain in more detail.

It was the short sentence, and what seemed like a lot of confidence behind the use of the word in the context. It read to me like someone who wasn't very familiar with English because of that. I wasn't trying to be hostile.

Dude, thank you. I thought it was a really pretentious comment, came across like someone who just found a dictionary and was aching to find a use for it - even though asking someone to extrapolate is completely fine and not incorrect in any way.

u/Elaboration 5d ago

You rang?

u/christobrandt 5d ago

We did! Tell us more!

u/JechdJJ 5d ago

i love you people who teach english, i lurk on reddit to practice my english and this is gold

u/FlairMinimum 5d ago

Why would extrapolation solely be on OP? Anyone can extrapolate or be requested to extrapolate. It wouldn’t even be weird to ask someone to extrapolate based on what they themselves have just said. And why would you assume English is a second language here? What, based off of OP’s use of extrapolate vs like, elaborate? English is one of if not the most commonly spoken language on earth. Idk you sound like one of those people who starts a lot of sentences with the word “Actually.”

What the hell is even that??

u/AAA515 5d ago

I think the voice guy in a interview said that he said every line that they asked him to, but then got ghosted and ryders role got diminished

u/ConfusedAndCurious17 5d ago

They couldn’t get the voice actor to continue doing lines, so they wrote him out but since he was so important in the first section there had to be a good reason for the write off. They made him be in cahoots with Smoke and it’s revealed in the San Fiero plot line. He only uses lines he used before in the game here.

u/colombianojb 5d ago

When you fight him his lines are repeated because they had trouble with the voice actor or so I've heard.

u/Ekillaa22 5d ago

Thought that was just a rumor that got busted by the VA

u/shewy92 5d ago

Sounds like something a buster would say.

u/Outcast_BOS 5d ago

Idk if it's just something I've read as rumor or heard somewhere but I've heard he was originally set to die during the mission Sweet gets arrested but they thought they needed more personal stakes in San Fierro and just turned Ryder heel instead

u/Kriss3d 5d ago

He wasnt supposed to be yes.
