What Was Changed

  • Spoken dialogue: 7,920 profanity instances silenced across 970 audio banks — story dialogue, ambient and pedestrian speech, and cutscenes. Each flagged word drops to silence; the rest of the line plays at full length. Both standard speech and cutscene audio are covered.
  • Written text: ~4,261 profanity instances in subtitles, dialogue prompts, mission text, and on-screen labels, across 638 text files, replaced with **** (full-word, no first-letter hint, length-matched so nothing overflows or re-layouts).
  • Categories covered: the F-word, S-word, B-word (both forms), A-word, D-word, and religious oaths used as exclamations or insults.

What Was NOT Changed

Red Dead Redemption is rated Mature 17+ (ESRB M) and this filter does not change that — it only reduces profanity. The violence, blood, and adult themes are completely untouched; this is the same M-rated game with less swearing, not a kid-safe version. Coverage is best-effort: a small number of spoken lines (for example, occasional cutscene dialogue) may still slip through. The story, world, missions, voice performances, music, saves, and achievements are exactly as Rockstar shipped them. Non-English text and audio (Spanish and others) are left untouched, and your stock game files are never modified — the filter writes only into a separate override folder.
